| PRIM J masters of the people. PHOTOGRAPH OF TREMENDOUS GERMAN ARMY MARCHING THROUGH BRUSSELS WAR AND RAIN CAUSE A LIGHT ‘With the war overshadowing the entire political campaign, indica tions are that a very light vote will be polled at the primaries today throughout the etate. In King county rainy weather wil! tend to decrease the vote even fur- ther. All parties will suffer by the light vote. But the gang politicians are joy- ous. The machine politicians get their full strength out always, rain or no rain, and on a day like this they figure upon a large independ ent vote not reaching the polls at all. The polis will be open until 8 o'clock tonight. Three jndges of the supreme court are to be elected. Judge Pember ton, Judge Holcomb and Former U. 8. Attorney E. G. Mills are indorsed by the progressive voters of all par ties, while the reactionaries are try- ing to re-elect Judges Crow, Gose and Chadwick. This election {s non-partisan. Progressives have a keener inter- est in the primaries than#ther par ties, because they will also vote to- day for delegates to the county con ventions. The delegates will be those elected as precinct committee men. inka ARY VOTE Voters have the right to write tn names not printed on the ballot. If you want to vote for Hanson for senator, however, ft will do him no good if you write his name in on » democratic ticket. In that event the count would show a vote for Hanson as a democratic candidate It would not be added to his voter on the progressive ticket.

The Beigians are in 6t Armand’s vicinity in consider able force, but thelr machine guns ere masked, eo It could not be seen from the front how formidable is thelr position. The Germans, seeking to dislodge them, opened on them with a heavy artillery fire, then attempted a gen- eral assault. As they rushed forward the Bel- sian machine guns belched a mur- derous volley, mowing down whole lines of the kaiser’s troops, and finally routing them. According to the Courter, the Germans at Liege have forbidden the Belgians there to leave their houses for three days, It is believed this fs on account of an intended movement of German troops east- ward, which it is desired to prevent the Belgians from observing. Belgian agents reported that Ger. man officers expressed much anxiety at the Austrians’ failure to check the Russians. German marines and sailors of the naval reserve are guard- Ing Belgian roads today. From this it Is conjectured that the kaiser has thrown hie last avall- able man into the field, and |e now stripping his warships for land service. Troops of the Iandsturm are also beginning to appear in Belgium. DIES IN ACTION BERLIN, via Rome, Sept. 8— Or.

You cannot vote for the same man for both first and second choice. Ole Hanson is entitled to the progressive nomination. He is a man of force and character and ability. His sincerity is unquestioned. HE HAS NEVER WOBBLED, OR TRIMMED, OR SUPPORTED WRONG MEASURES. He is against the mileage graft. He is against using the govern- ment mails at government expense for election purposes. The political bosses in the old parties and the would-be political bosses of the progressive party are against Hanson because he is independent. The mortgage sharks of the state are against Ole Han- son on account of his fight for 4 per cent money to farmers. Every special interest, small or large, is working against Hanson in the primery election today.. Why? \.. ; Because they all know Ole Hanson will be dlected if nominated. Because they know Hanson cannot be bought or con- trolled. Because they know Ole Hanson will fight them off their feet, as he did on the Hanson anti-race track bill, and as he did when the eight-hour law for women came up the first time in the legislature. Because Ole Hanson is the only progressive of whom the standpatters are afraid. Because Ole Hanson's record is an open book. GO TO THE POLLS.

" The allies are on the offensive against the Germans’ right wing. The force under Gen. Von Kiuk, the wing’s commander, is bered and reported retiring slowly. It is pointed out, however, that tl > allies must turn the German flank before Von Buelow’ Von Kiuk; otherwise, the Germans will outnumber the ailles. charge of the operation against Von Kiuk. With his is almost the e:- tire British force on the continent. Co-operating with it was the Sev- enth French army, under Gen. D’Amade.
