America and her traditions. 1t is only
when the disloyal 10 per cent gains
control that Mayor Hanson puts on
his fighting toys and does battle with
the unions.
All the mayors sympathies are with
the working class from which he him
self is proud to have sprung He was
born in log cabin in Racine. Wis,
and grew up in what he calls the
most soul-crushing poverty"
Mayor Hanson says he still believes
in union labor. He believes ninety per
cent of the union men are loyal and
true. But he maintains that to do
business in his city they must drive
from their ranks the other ten per
cent who were responsible for Seattle's
one red week.
He's IL Classy Dresser.
Ole Hanson is a regular Beau
Brummer' in dress. HIS overcoats al
ways outflashed Jim Ham Lewis vests
and pink whiskers in the old DAYS
In a crowd of laborers he always
seems out of place until he starts to
talk. He is not rich. but he is indie
for a public career. He has been a
leader of the northwest radical con-
struction element for twenty years and
has taken part. in and messed up ac-
cording to his enemies, more labor
and public utility disputes than any
DN%NAOA1
country.
Altho of Norwegian ancestry, he
has the impulsive temperament of an
1rishman. He was born in southern
Wisconsin.
He has always taken an interest in
politics, has always been a radical ard
is an orator of rare ability. He has
personal magnetism equalled by few
men.
When John Wanamaker became a
contender for the power of Matthew
Stanley Quay and entered the race for
United States senator in Pennsylvania,
Hanson was one of the magic men
brought into the east to defeat Quay.
He became o:e of Wanamaker's lead
ing spelibinders and spoke in nearly
every county in the state.
When &. Augustus HeinZe and the
Other copper kings of Montana en-
! tered in a political contest for control
| of the state, Hanson favored the chief
! defende- l,efoIe tne miners meetings
and handling miners meetings at
that time was Il pretty rough job.
Follower of Roosevelt.
Hanson followed Theodore Roose-
welt on the conservation issue in 1912;
| in 1916 he was an independent can
didate for the senate, but he was de-
feated by Wesley l. Jones.
The anomaly of Mayor Hanson's po-
sition in the recent strike, which has
brought him to the fore nationally,
lies in the fact that his support has
always come from labor and the radi-
Gals. He is more responsible for city
ownership of street cars in Seattle
than any other man. He has preached
public ownership of public utilities for
twenty years AS member of the
Washington legislature he was largely
responsible for the adoption of the
! initiative, referendum and recall He
| also drove horse racing from the state
Most radical of radicals, always
/ fighting. he always preached that the
; ballot should be the only form OF
| revolution

instances with machine guns. He
stood on the offensive but the strikers
under the rule of iron that spoke for
law and order soon went back to
work. altho the 1. w. W. who were
running it issued a statement saying
that the walkout had been success.
The topic, while the Seattle mayor
was having breakfast at the National
lunch room, swung round to the re-
lease of the L. w. w. from Leaven-
worth. The release of William. Big
Bill" Haywood, leader of the l. w. W.,
was mentioned.
"What?" exclaimed Hanson. as
Haywood out?" He was informed
that bond for the official had been
arranged and allowed.
And are the I. w. w. going to hold
a national convention in the United
States this year?" he asked.
Hanson was told of press dispatches
saying that one had been called at
Chicago and postponed SO that Hay
wood could be present.
And is Mayor Thompson of Chi
cago going to allow it?' queried Han
son. ANY mayor that will permit an
1. w. w. meeting in his city should be
recalled and banished from America.
He's not an American"
Hanson,s Rise TO Fame.
Mayor Hanson became a national
figure. few months ago when he
broke the back of the general strike
called in Seattle in connection with
the strike of the Metal Trades unions
Mayor Hanson saw in this strike the
first attempt of Bolshevism to rear
its ugly head in America, and prompt
ly ''scotched' the serpent
But for all that Mayor Hanson is
said to be a staunch supporter of
union labor. 1t is his expressed opin-
ion that 80 per cent of the union men
in the country are loyal and true to

picious of Bomb Parcel

Representative John L. Burnett today
told the story of the congressman's
narrow escape from death or injury
by bomb mailed him from New York.

turned it over to the police. 1t was
carried to a river bank and a bullet
fired into it. The bomb exploded with
great force.

Labor Party
Formed for 1920

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-A new politi-
cal party was brought into existence
here Monday night.
The political baby-the National
Labor Party-must be reckoned with
in the 1920 campaign, its fathers de-
clared
The party was formed, according
to John Fitzpatrick, who issued the
call for the initial convention, to en-
able the men who respect law and
order" to operate industry and leg
islate in the interests of the men, wo-
men and children.
II was made plat nearly in the
meeting that the new organization
would not attempt to buck" the
American Federation Of Labor.
Defends A. r. of l..
Fitzpatrick, in the keynote address,
came to the defense Of tho Federation
and denounced its enemies as paid
agents Of "big interests"

pose Of the proposed party, declared
it would have to fight the anarchists.

Probable Platform.
Hayes outlined the probable plat

free press and public assembly, which
have been curbed during the steel and
coal strikes.
Naturalization Of railroads along
the Plumb plan.
Naturalization of mines and other
industries.
