to him.
But when johnson saw that sand
witch he turned up his homely nose
and refused to lay his hands upon
such common grub. II was chicken
and pie, ice cream and cake, hot cof-
fee. etc. for Johnson or nothing-so
nothing Mrs Klunk said it would be.
But Johnson put up such a plea that
the woman said she would see what
she could find. Accordingly she took
her seedy visitor into the house and
allowed him to occupy a seat in the
dining room while she fixed him up
meal
Now Johnson was not possessed OF
any conscientious scruples. He es-
pied a purse on a nearby shelf and
il looked like there was money in
side. When Mrs. Klunk returned to
the dining room she found that her
visitor had fed, and had taken her
purse with him.
Mrs Klunk acted hastily as she did
not care to lose what little money the
purse contained. She telephoned the
police and after a diligent search the
heartless hobo was discovered and
placed under arrest.
In police court this morning he was
arraigned before Magistrate Frank
Gustafson and fined $40 and costs.
Being unable to pay he was taken to
the county Jail where he will receive
free lodging for a period of one month.

ing preliminary trip over the state,
getting ready for a whirlwind campaign
which will be started shortly after the
first OF the year. Mr.. Hanson has a
large acquaintance all over the state.
He has been here many times, the last
time two years ago when he addressed
progressive rally.
Ole Hanson was born in the state Of
Wisconsin 40 years ago next month.
His parents came to Racine county,
Wis.,, just at the close OF the Civil war.
They were poor, but thru the work Of
the children and depriving themselves
of many things the children received
fair common school education.
Ole was the sixth child and from
early boyhood was compelled to shift
for himself. He worked days and
studied nights and at the age of IS
took third degree certificate for teach
ing school.
At the age Of II he studied law in
the Offices Of Kearney. & Dyer, Racine,
Wis, and finished his course when 10.
He then went on the road selling drug
gists sundries. Married at 81 to
Racine girl he was on his way to Ell
Paso, Texas, eleven years ago with his
wife and family of three children when
the train was wrecked, his wife was
badly injured the youngest child was
lost Tin the FREY and Ole was partially

cessful and his firm is one Of the largest
in Seattle.
Mr.. Hanson says: I am in this
fight to a finish for progressive prin-
ciples for which our party stands and
will not try to trim or equivocate to Sc
cure single vote. I'll
believe the men and women who
toll, the small business man, the aver
age citizen has been more or less dis
regarded by our lawmakers. 1t is these
people I will represent if chosen. The
great interests need no additional rep
resentation. They have plenty in the
senate already.

later and lay before the people my
platform, and will 60 direct to the

agree with me, I will be defeated and
deservedly so.
All ask is a fair field and no favor.
II chosen by the people will repre-
sent them; if defeated I would still con-
slider the fight worth while as in every
talk and act l will try and further the
