What spirit of unrest is this that They must be taught to know and keep thetr place. Here is an excoal miner who dares to aspire to the gubernatorial chair, and when the old hens of the kept press remind him that he lacks dignity, that he has never worn a frock and topper in all his life, that he woutd not know what knives, forks and spoons to use at a ten-course dinner, and that he is deficient as a waitzer, he answers that he is at least honest and that he would conduct the duties of gov- ernor honestly and impartialiy— and considers that answer suffi- cient. And the Voters Seem to Like It. When the old hens of the kept press crush him with their Iles, slanders and forgeries, he fises up, refutes the lies and confounds the Hare. And the voters seem to like him | all the better for his impudence. And when the slanderbund com- mits forgery to prove him grafter, he exposes the for- gery — which, to say the ind comes back by proving that | honorable “I-Am-a-Trimmer” Humphrey used a pass, not be- tween Black Diamond and Seattle, but between Washington, D, C., and Seattle, and muleted the public purse to the tune of 20 cents a mile, going and coming, every trip. And when it was made unlawful for lawmakers to accept passes on any railroad in the United States, that honorable and immaculate gentleman, who modestly holds that “experience counts” In con- gress—and you bet it does—got himself @ pass over the Canadian Pacific! And kept right on collect- ing mileage! What of it? To graft $600 for the round trip between Washington, D. C., and Se least, is not potit at his maligner to lie with McFarland himeeif. For, now that he is free, he does not appear to care so much for “Bunny.” He is talking about the advantages of until he has a home” and “until the scandal dies down.” attle is respectable. The $600 graft. er &@ perfect gentieman and moves in the best circles. This, at least, in the view of the | old hens of the kept press. “The Sianderbund Had Said So." There is another phase of the levent which is inexplicable. Hodge | was repudiated by his own party. The slanderbund had said so. The | progressive party refused to carry |him any longer: The slanderbund had said this. And there was Ole Hanson, the | eloquent, the scathing, fighting | tooth and nail for “Bob” Hodge. | And there was Senator Poindex- | ter, declaring himself flat-footedly for “Bob” Hodge first, last and all the time. And there was Dan Landon “common as an old shoe,” telling, aim your boo Hley did not have her divorce papers The Seattle __THE ONLY PROGRESSIVE NEWSPAPER IN SEATTLE ..

Hypocrisy and deceit—these clearly mark Hay, who is trying to buy the job of governor. Hay, the hypocrite and the deceitful, is attempting to take credit for progressive legislation which was passed in spite of him and the reactionary gangsters who are pushing his candidacy. Hay, the hypocrite, is going around the state trying to fool women voters with the false claim that he got them woman suffrage. The truth is that May, the putty man, never came out for woman suffrage until after the amendment had been voted by the people in the general clection of November, 1910. The truth is that Hay never recommended it for passage, and that he was one of the leading figures in the stand- pat “hand-picked” republican convention in August, 1910, which hooted and jeered and practically threw Dr. King of Wenatchee off the plat- form when he proposed that the convention indorse the woman. suf- frage amendment. If Gov. Hay ever lifted one finger to aid the women in securing the ballot, no one ever heard of it except from his own mouth in the present political campaign. He refused to talk for woman suffrage in New York on a recent visit. He refused to help the women of this But he now deceitfully and hypocritically the campaign of M. E. ate. | claims credit for that bill, because he signed it formally after the peo- |) ple and the jeg ture had already emphatically voted for It. There ts the eight-hour law for women. Gov. Hay did not recommend it to the legislature, neither in the 1909 nor the 1911 session. John E, Campbell of ERyerett introduced the bill in 1909 and ft was defeated in the senate. He introduced it in 1911 again, in spite of the fact that Gov. Hay refused to recommend ft. It was passed in 1911 without Hay's help or encouragement, and in spite is hypocrisy and deceit, to claim Hay also mentions the direct primary law. This was passed in 1907, before Hay became governor. THE ONLY PART HAY DID PLAY WITH REGARD TO THE DIRECT PRIMARY LAW WAS TO SIGN THE STANDPAT, REACTIONARY, INDEFENSIBLE BILL IN 1909 WHICH ELIMINATED THE SUPREME COURT JUDGES FROM DIRECT PRIMARIES AND PLACED THEM BACK IN THE CONTROL OF CONVENTIONS AND GANG POLITICS, This bill was so repug- nant to the people that two years later it was wiped out. But Hay does Prot mention this part of his record. Hay opposed the initiative and referendum. He did not recom- mend these progressive measures to the legislature. In fact, on July 13, 1910, In a public speech, he attacked these people's measures as belonging to a “barbaric age.” But hypocritical, deceitful, putty Hay today claims credit for these bills. This reveals only a part of Hay's deceitful tactics in claiming credit for progressive measures, (ee: nalen PECIALS IN THE NEWS TURKISH LEMNOS HAS BEEN handed to the Greek fleet.
