Hay, creature of the bosses, smirk- ing under a progressive mask, deceive the voters as to his brazen standpat record and his gang-molded principles? Will Hay, the puppet of the brutal, dirty-dollars gang, mislead any of the women voters by his false pretenses as a champion of “humane treatment” in penal institutions? Will Hay’s false claims make the women voters forget about inhuman floggings administered to unfor- tunate girls by men attendants in the Chehalis train- ing school? Will his insincere spouting NOW make the wom- en of this state forget that the gang put the clamps on, that the gang whitewashed, and covered up by a fake investigation the disgraceful conditions in the — reform school for wayward and unfortunate girls? Will the gang’s slanders and the gang’s false claims divert the women voters from the fact that a 16-year-old girl, Goldie M. Moss, the victim of re- peated barbaric treatment in the Chehalis school, cried in her agony that she would commit suicide? And will the fact that this girl, her body torn and mangled, was picked up on a railroad track within a week, on January 16, 1912, be forgotten NOW by men and women because for campaign parposes M. E. Hay shouts about his “humane treat- ment”? Will the decent, humane people of this state for- ‘ get that the gang, seeking dirty dollars, built a man- sion for the superintendent of the Monroe reforma- with: previous agreement and understanding with the board jtory, with marble baths and elegant suites of extra bedrooms to comfort political flunkies, while the unfortunate boys were fed on insufficient food and |herded in a temporary stockade?

Following his speech more than 100 women-crowded u) the stage to shake hands with Hodge and to express their confidence in him, The big, sturdy, broad shouldered man, who had withstood the calum- ny and vilification of the slander- bund with gritted teeth and un shaken determination, almost broke down with emotion at this expres. sion of confidence, When finally the handshaking was over, Hodge was taken in charge by his Black Diamond booat- id marched from the theatre to the progressive headquarters. |e RHR NR Re WEATHER FORECAST * increasing southerly winds. # * Temperature at noon, 69. *® * * Rain tonight and Saturday; *® * [RIOT OR Hanson described how he took the matter up with Gov Hay ‘after Howard Cosgrove, president of the standpat) lands would be given| A “Hay told me he knew nothing about it,” said Hanson, \“andithere are many things which he should know that May He told me he would appoint John C effective, to investigate the action of the regents.

And will the people forget the disgraceful and degrading spectacle of 50 of these youths, future citizens, handcuffed and shackled, hauled across the \entire length of the state from the Monroe reforma- tory to the Walla Walla penitentiary where, against the provisions of their sentences, they were thrown in with hardened criminals? There you have a true sidelight on the gang’s “humane treatment.” Can you expect “humane treatment” for un- |fortunate boys and girls from a system which lives and fattens at the very expense of human lives? In January, 1911, when the disgraceful condi- tions at the Chehalis Training school threatened to | become public, Hay, following his usual tactics, put the clamps on. He handpicked a committee to white- wash, to cover up, and to falsify if necessary. At that time some of the girls, in spite of threats, in spite of promised floggings, dared to tell of their treatment at the hands of Superintendent Aspinwall of the school. Aspinwall is an old feeder at the public trough. Hay picked him to administer the gang’s “humane treatment” to the state’s un- fortunates, not because he had had any experience or training in that work, but because he had a po- litical pull. When Hay made his fake investigation, the peo- ple of Chehalis and Centralia were threatening them- selves to take action in behalf of the girls. Com- plaints had been laid before Prosecuting Attorney Buxton of Lewis county. One of them, made by a girl from the reform school, follows: For obvious reasons the name of the girl is omitted. “I was flogged three times while in the training school. Mr. Aspinwall beat me after raising my skirts. The first beating had from 40 to 50 blows. The second was about 25 blows, and the other was about a dozen. The blows were all delivered upon the one spot, and left marks that remained for nearly a month, “I saw marks on Grace Ragan, another girl, and they are on her still, to my knowledge. She was pad- dled until she was hardly able to stand up or lie down.
