Ole Hanson Has Been Tried and
Not Found Wanting.

Commenting upon the efforts
made in certain quarters to boost
| Congressman Aleck Falconer as a
simon-pure reformer and enemy of
the railroad and lumber interests,
md singing his praises for having
introduced a bill in congress through
which it is sought to bring about
\ survey of all unsnrveyed lands
| md to force the timber barOns to
meet share of just taxation which
they have heretofore escaped, the
State Capitol Record in an article
| by Beriah Brown, one of this states
best posted newspapermen, in its
| last issue says:
Here are the facts: More than
| five years ago the Northern Pacific
Railroad company deposited with
the United States treasury thousands
of dollars to pay the entire costs
of these surveys. The Northern
| Pacific Railroad company has not
only put up the money but has
lsed every influence it has to hasten
these surveys. Falconer should
have Intelligence enough to know
these facts and he is peddling a

,hine) when he permits such alb
solutely false dope to go out to his
| constituents.
| But what can one expect of
man like Falconer? l cannot for
get that night in the P.-I. office
at Seattle when FalcOner called on
his friends j. f. Frost and John l..
| Wilson for advice as to whether he
should run as a Bull Moose or Re-
publican. Alternately weeping and
raving Falconer made disgusting
Spectacle of himself. Admitting HIM
self out of sympathy with the Bull
Moose platform he maudlingly an
nounced he would run on that
ticket because he believed it had the
votes.
Congressman Falconer Is challeng-
ed to deny these facts. John L..
| Wilson Is dead but two other per-
sons now living can back up my as
sertions.
| And if it comes to a showdown |
can quote practically the exact
language Falconer said at that time
of the Direct Legislation league of
which he was vice pr, sident and

trip he made to Everett and back
and why. 1t is sure some lovely
story of a man without conscience
or principle seeking office. on pop
ular wave and how trying to per-
petuate himself by Justification
and untruth.
1t is has time and time again
been asserted that Falconer would
run on any old party ticket that he
thought he could win on. 1t has
also been stated that the owner and
manager of the Seattle P.-I., the
leading standpat newspaper and
chief organ of the old Republican
party paid for Falconer's filing fee
for a place on the Progressive ticket
| two years ago.
fine Progressive, this Aleck
Falconer. And how about the mile
age grab that he as an official e.
lected on the Progressive ticket
should have voted against? Not
much did Aleck vote against the
abandonment of that dirty mileage
grab. but instead, he was found
voting for it along with the stand
pat representatives in Congress.
There is only one candidate for
United States Senator that should
have the support of the people in
the primary election to be held on
Tuesday, September 8, and that is
Ole Hanson.
Mr.. Hanson is an out and out
Progressive. He is man of the
people, and it is the duty of every
man and woman who desires that a
true representative of ALL of the
people succeed standpat Wesley
Jones, to cast a vote for Ole Han
son, the Progressive candidate.
Ole Hanson has been tried and
not found wanting.
