He was—and is—a big, two-fisted, undiplomatic, outspoken individual, who might have been, from his wonderful physique, a “white hope.” As such he might have been taken seriously. As a man who was going to wrest a fine, fat job from a clique of political grafters and turn it over to the people—well, he was just a joke. s But he ceased to be a joke as the campaign went on. Hodge called things by their right names and the people applauded. There was nothing “smooth” or “foxy” about Hodge. He talked in language that every- one understood. He promised some big things, too. And, after he was elected he made good on every one of them. Then, when he announced his candidacy for gov- ernor, he was again hailed as‘a joke by the silk-hatted and carefully-manicured stand-pat politicians, who have been milking this state unmolested for years. But already, thus early in the campaign, Hodge again is ceasing to be a joke. He is making a remark- able campagn throughout the state, and everywhere he is meeting with a wonderful response on the part of the people to the real, dyed-in-the-wool progressive doc- trines he is preaching. For Hodge talks to the people. He holds no secret meetings with political manipulators. He doesn’t try for banquet endorsements. He is a poor man, and he talks with and associates with the great mass of the people who are not engaged in Bu Bob Hodge represents the Common People—the workers in mines, stores, factories, forests and fields. He is not a joke.

Beauty 500 Years Ago They have dug up an old beauty book-in Italy, publishec 590 years. ago, which laid down the following rules of the game: “To be beautiful,” says the work, “the woman must have} the following’three white things: Skin, hands and teeth; three! black things, eyes, eyelashes and eyebrows; three pink things,| lips, gums and nails; three long things, life, hands and hair; three short things, teeth, ears and tongue; thre wide things, forehead, shoulders and intelligence; three narrow things, waist, mouth and ankles; three delicate things, fingers, lips and mind ; three round things, arm, leg and dowry.” Things haven't changed so much in five centuries, have they?
