He declared that if Mrs. Hatcher had been a man and from ] stage in Juneau called American citizens "Huns," crooks" and oth- CT names that she used, the man would have been punished. He said Gov. Strong, though not seen on the streets weeks before that, attended the meeting and applauded the ''lies told" by Mrs. Hatcher.
 Judge Vim said that that was another indication of how Gov, Strong was on longer an issue that he was hiding behind the skirts of "a woman.
 Illustrates Point.
 The Judge told story to il- lustrate his point, in which he said a haymaker going to work for a i farmer brought along his pitchfork and that when a vicious dog charg- ed him, he used the sharp end of the pitchfork and pitched it over the fense.
 "Why didn't you use the other end of the pitchfork." angrily de- manded the farmer.

 Refers to Cobb.
 The speaker said he had no ob- who had been appointed Attorney General by Strong, and was defeat ed for the place at an election by Grigsby, working for Wickersham or Marshall or any one else, but he did object to people working for for him at the fall election to go into the Democratic primaries and vote for Maloney.
