49—4AZMo ae} | te wo t : HOW ABOUT HANSON? The progressives seem to be slopping around in the mire trying to find a candidate for U. S. senate. Apparently they can’t settle on any one, despite the fact that the woods are full of announced and avowed candidates. There’s Bryan, W. J., who has been rattling around for several months proclaiming himself a candidate, but the pros gressive leaders say he’s impossible. Then there’s Alex Falconer, a fine, clean sort of a man, but the leaders say he can’t get the votes. G. H. Walker, another fine, clean man, but another who can’t get the votes. And then there’s Govnor Teats, of Tacoma, than whom there is no better, no stancher, uo more able progressive, but Teats is not a campaigner. And there they are, the progressive leaders all up in the air, yet right among them is Ole Hanson. Why in the name of common sense don’t they put Ole Hanson in the race? Ole is all that most of the other candidates are, and besides, Ole can campaign and HE CAN GET THE VOTES. It looks as if Ole Hanson is their only bet. But of course this is only a side-line suggestion. symm THLE More Than 41,000 41,000 The Seattle Star = THE O x TW IMM NLY PAPER IN SEATTLE THAT DARES TO PRINT THE NEWS OLUME 15 NO. 231 SEATTLE, WASH., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1913 ONE CENT 0% tare axe NEWS STANT GOETHALS TELLS HOW HE DUG THE BIG DITCH FAMOUS ENGINEER WRITES STORY FOR STAR PART I work, the president convened a board of consulting engineers to consider and report upon the type of By Col.
