WILSON IS THE PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE

After summarizing the progressive achievements ot Woodrow Wilson as President Of Princeton. Gov ernor of New Jersey and President of the United States and comparing his accomplishments with those of Charles E. Hughes Norman Hapgood, former ed- tor or Harpers Weekly. writing in the Independent says Indeed. the greater part Of the Bull Moose platform Of 1912 has already been carried out by the Wilson administration"
 NIT. HapgoOd, the former Progressive says fur. ther that were the parties not confused. Hiram Johnson should vote for President Wilson. and La Toilette and Bass "It is absurd" says HapgOod. ito find such voting with the entrenched system against the most progressive legislative recori since the war and against principles Of equity and justice successfully applied even in so turbulent a time to foreign affairs: to China Mexico. South America Europe. Such men belong with Wilson. Newton Baker Brandeis McAdoo Houston. William Kent Lane, Frank Heney. Vance Mccormick"
 Hapgood contends that should Hughes be elected he would find his party controlled by Shoot Gallin ger. Penrose. Lodge. young wadsworth. and such r the Senate and Leader Mann. Joe Cannon and such yield easily to Presidential direction. On the other hand he finds Wilson in actual command of his party leading it to successful accomplishment.
 Further than that Hapgood finds the Republican party naturally the party of the Tory. The Repubt cans have been long in power" he says, that to their party has been drawn those whose dreams are Of material advantage. much frightened by larger purpose It Is only the Garys. Perkinses. Roots. It is not even mainly they. It is the young men also who almost everywhere at the North. have en- tered the party because. at the threshold Of life, wealth. social glamor and local power promised only through that gate. After half century Of scarcely broken rule. the Republican party has be- come the custodian Of the favored dollar. and all of the favored dollars bias"

 Heaven knows Seattle is not proud of some things that have happened recently But there has been such general running amuck as this Alaska editor permits himself believe. His lively imagina- ton also reveals bit of prejudice Abolition of the saloon has stopped Seattes growth or chilled the Seattle spirit in the very least In going the limit to enforce the law it is maintaining true Seattle spirit and setting example to other cities As for being or becoming second New York it is making steady strides.

SUNRISE AND A
 WALL HIS OUTLOOK
But Versatile Scribe Escapes
 Prison and Arrives Home

New York, March 21.--Thomas A. Price of Audubon, N. J., a newspaper man who has been on the staffs of the New York Evening World and the Philadelphia Press, said yesterday, after making his escape from the Ann erican liner Philadelphia, on which he was . stowaWay from Liverpool, that he had avoided being shot in France for smuggling cut information by crossing the English Channel with an aviator in a scout bipane.
 According to the story which Price told after getting his feet firmly on American soil, he went to France last May as free-lance war correspondent. lie could not get any news out of France and he returned to England. where, posing as a Canadian, he joined the Thirteenth Battalion of the Cana dian Field Artillery. After his con- tingent had crossed the channel, he was attached at first to the ammun- ton column of the Second Division and later became a dispatch writer.
 Price said that he saw a good deal of the war and produced copy by the rcaT for American publications, but his work was either destroyed by the French censor he asserted or mutilat- ed until it was valueless. About two months ago he was stunned bv an ex- ploding shelf and sont suffering from shock to the Chicago Hospital Unit which is in charge of pr. John B. Mur- phy of Chicago.
 Here Price met a soldier on leave and induced him to attempt to srnug- gle 10 the United States his menloran- dunn book which was full of notes on h France. The memorandum book was found on the soldier by British mili- tary authorities. He was arrested and so was Price.
 Price was confined in military prison in Belgium to await trial by ourt-martial, which was certain, in his opinion, to result in conviction and sentence of death. The prison was an old brick building in Westouire reduced by German bonn mbardment until only the walls remained. One night, Price said, he climbed over one wall, the scars from many cannonad- ings serving as footholds Only one sentry was on duty and Price man. aged to elude him.

 This, however, did not bring him much nearer to freedom, because it was hopeless for his in his uniform to attempt to pass to the rear without beink questioned. Consequently Price stayed a short distance behind the firing line, hiding in the daytime and progress cautiously at night toward the coast. He spent three days, he said, hiding in a haystack near Ploegstredt, which was highly 9 soldiers were concentrated there He lived on turnipS which he could pull near the haNstaCk and on scraps of food which he found by proWling in the rear of a few houses in the vii cinity.
