ALLIES FALL UPON INVADERS; JOSH WISE SAYS: “Since th’ summer boarders | have departed there ain't a wrist-watch left In Beeleysport.” VOLUME 16. NO. 166. SEATTLE, WASH.,, STANDPATTERS FEAR | ‘VHANSON! VOTE FOR HIM en. is one sure way of defeating Wesley LORIMER Jones in the November election. It is through Ole Hanson, progressive candidate ) for the United States senate. Hanson can AND WILL defeat Jones, the | standpatter. Hanson’s life, private and public, is an open book. Not) one chapter in it has a taint---not one. Surrounded by an admirable wife’ and seven children, Hanson’s family life is ideal. His public life has always been dedicated to the common welfare, to progressive principles, to a| DEVOTION TO HUMAN JUSTICE. Pit Hanson against Jones and you have a clear-cut issue—a genuine progressive on one side and a stand- patter on the other. For Hanson IS genuinely progressive—a progressive at heart, and not from any ulterior motives, not from any motive of self-reward. The Star cannot say as much for Congressman Falconer. While this paper believes Falconer has been a much better public servant than LORIMER Jones, nevertheless this paper knows Falconer joined the pro-| gressive party only after he had satisfied himself that he stood a better chance of election thereby than by run- ning for congress in 1912 under the republican banner. THE STAR SAYS FALCONER MAY OR MAY NOT BE A PROGRESSIVE AT HEART, ROOM FOR DOUBT, JUDGING FROM HIS FALTERING, HESITATING, WOBBLING WHEN THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY WAS FORMED. Nor has Falconer always rung true in his service In congress. His vote on the mileage grab bill was not a progressive vote. Falconer’s use of the government frank to send campaign speeches through the mails free is not in accord with progressive principles. Falconer’s supporters claimed he had the endorsement of Theodore Roosevelt. The Star told you Sat- urday that they lied—that the letter Roosevelt wrote to Falconer was not a letter endorsing him as against Ole Hanson. AND THE STAR WAS RIGHT. FOR, YESTERDAY, ROOSEVELT HIMSELF TELE- GRAPHED OLE HANSON THAT THIS WAS THE CASE. THE TEXT OF THE TELEGRAM WILL BE FOUND ELSEWHERE IN TODAY’S STAR. The Star believes progressives of the state will make a mistake if they (fail to nominate Ole Hanson. Every standpatter in the state and every \standpat organ is hoping Hanson will not be nominated. They feel they can defeat Falconer. They know in their hearts that they cannot defeat Hanson, for Hanson has never trimmed. His course has ever been straight. His record is unsullied and unmarred. When you go to the polls tomorrow, ask for a Progres- sive ticket and vote for Hanson FIRST CHOICE. | THINK ABOUT IT. By the Spectator—_| Every morning, when | came through Lincoln park, at 6 o'clock, on my way to work, last week, | found there a small boy. He had a miniature aeroplane, with propellers that were made to turn by an arrangement of rubber bands. To “wind up” his craft, he had to turn the two propellers until the rubber was stretched to ite Mmit. The process required a half hour’s work, but the boy kept at it patiently. His task completed, he set the propellers in motion, and the THERE IS ATTITUDE WHAT 8 gracefully as @ ewallow, It flew a hundred feet or so and boy was one of the competitors Saturday In the miniature aero- plane meet.

GERMAN RET PARIS, Sept. 7.—The Germans’ right flank has been turned by the. Franco-British allies, according to a telegram from the war office at | Bordeaux. Simultaneously, it was stated, the British broke through the Ger man lines, imperiling the ki "s entire right wing, and forcing him te withdraw his troops from Li! d its vicinity to strengthen the wing. It Is believed the German: eased thelr march directly on Paris, having learned that the allies contemplated a general engage- | ment west of the city. 4 The French are massed there, ready to entrap the enemy, but German cavairy scouts and aviators discovered the danger, and it is evident the kaiser’s commanders had changed their program. | As a result of the latest development, it is believed the German right wing will remain stationary, pending the outcome of the fighting on the river Meuse. The Germans have crossed the Meuse heavily at Stenay and op- posed a force of 500,000 French troops. The battle line extends through Retel and Verdun. is surrounded by the enemy.

Gallieni has received the following dispatch from the war office at Bordeaux: “The French and British are now engaged In a general action with the Germans northeast of Paris. Battle lines extend from Nantovil to Verdun, via Vitry le Francois, in the department of Marne, 19 miles it of Chalons, and at the commencement of the Rhine-Marne he French and British have compelled the Germans to retire from the region of Couloumaiers, In the department of the Seine-et- Marne, on the Grand Morin river, after two days’ fighting, which ended Sunday night. “The entire French and English lines are in action, and the combat Is extremely vigorous.” The statement apparently covered as a single engagement what has hitherto been treated as detached fighting at the center and either _Sing of the general battle line VOTE TO DEFEAT THESE HYPOCRITES! DW there is another black mark against Judges Crow, Chadwick and Gose, who are running for re-election on the supreme court. It is the black mark of hypocrisy. Hypocritically, they now claim to be what they are not. Hypocritically, they now claim to be progressives. Hypo- critically, they claim to have upheld the direct primary law, | the initiative, referendum and recall and other wholesome measures. Remember the Hay case and how they made a joke of the primary law? The court found Hay had violated the law) but refused to put him out of office because “the penalty | was too great for the crime,” they said. EVER HEAR THEM SAY THE PENALTY IS TOO GREAT FOR THE CRIME WHEN A YOUNG CHAP IS SENT TO PRISON FOR STEALING A FEW PENNIES TO SATISFY HUNGER, | PERHAPS? And, remember how the judges made a joke of the recall law in the Hamilton case, and remember the public speech made by Chadwick against the initiative and referendum? As hypocrites they came to Seattle Saturday—these three, \— —to campaign, AND PRETENDING NOT TO CAMPAIGN, | What other purpose was there for the Phi Delta Phi banquet? |Phi Delta Phi is an exclusive “silk-stocking” law fraternity. |It does not give banquets to everybody. But Saturday night jit invited everybody to be present—to meet JUDGES CROW, |CHADWICK AND GOSE. The supreme court touches the lives of the people of this state as no other public officers do.. They can undo what the legislature, the mayor, the council, the governor, or any one else may do, Tomorrow’s election is important. If any | of the eight candidates for judges get more than 50 per cent\ jof the votes, tomorrow's election will be final. So be sure to vote.
