THEY WERE CAUGHT SUCKMG EGGS
AND THEY FORGOT TO HIDE THE SHELLS
"They've been caught sticking eggs lull thev forgot lo
hide the shells."
In these wort!*. Olc Hitll'w last night, at the Coliseum
theatre, epitomised the University land grab deal a» it stands
today.
Hanson ibowtd by documentary evidence that Hay's
standpat board of regent* had pa**ed the rtMilulion, drawn
up the contract, and were ready to deliver $250.0 CX) worth of
university lands to the Northern Pacific for $1, when they
were caught.
Hanson showed that at first the standpat regent* denied
that there had been a deal or a steal, but that they at that
time contended that the Northern Pacific was entitled not
only to that tract of land, but to a bigger tract, and that the
regent* had "compromised" with them.
But this flimsy explanation was easily exploded, Hanson
showed, by the records at Olympia and in Seattle.
"So now they tell us. May's standpat crowd, that they
never intended to make that deal or steal," Hanson said.
Hanson, however, produced documents «howing that the
standpat board of regent*, dominated by Howard Cosgrove,
John C. Higgins and Charles Spooner, had actually taken
every step to tranxfer the lands to the N. P.
"And I charge right now," Hanson said, "that in the
office of Charles Winders, attorney for the Northern Pacific,
GREAT CROWD PAYS

the echo. About 4,000 people were
lammed Into the big hall, aeveral

On the atage were about 76 cltl

the con nail it- all drawn tip with every detail in accordance
with previous agreement and understanding with the board
of regents. and that it is now ready for only the formal sig
nature- "
Hanson described how he took the matter tip with Gov.
Hay after Howard Cosgrove. president of the standpat
regcß'*, admitted to him that the lands would be given
away to the N. P.
"Hay told me he knew nothing about it," said Hanson,
"and there are many things which he should know that Hay
doe* not know. He told me he would appoint John C.
Higgint, one of the regents «ho voted to make this grab
effective, to investigate the action of the regents. In other
word*, he has asked Higgins to investigate hi« own vote."
Hanson proved that the Northern Pacific did not have
any valid title to the lands, or any color of title, and that
in lif'H. the railroad admitted it had no claim to the lands
because it applied to the state for the right to purchase
the samf.
t»So that is why Hay and his regents are now trying
to cf»wl out of the responsibility of giving a quarter of a
million dollars of school lands to the Northern Pacific for $1,
by telling you that they really never intended to do it.
"Hut they have been caught sucking eggs and they
forgot to hide the shells."

WILL WOMEN FORGET
GANG'S FLOGGING OF
UNFORTUNATE GIRLS?
Will the gang's hypocrisy fool the voters this
time?
Will M. E. 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 falso
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
Chehalis 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 m
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
purposes M. L Hay shouts about his "humane treat
ment"?
Will the decent, humane people of this slate for
get that the gang, seeking dirty dollars, built a man
sion for the superintendent of the Monroe reforma
tory, 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?
Will the people forget the gang's "humane treat
ment" after these boys, some unfortunate by birth,
some driven to petty crime by hunger, were forced
to open revolt against the gang's policy?
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 Centraiia 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.
"1 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.
"I was one of the girls who saw Mr. Briffet
knock down one of the boys and kick him as he
said: Take that, and that, you dog.' The boy got
the punishment because he had smiled. After doing
this, Mr. Briffet turned around to some other offi
cers and laughed.
"The girls are put in a dungeon with bread and
water. The dungeon is very cold and it is so small
that a girl cannot lie down and is in misery all
the time. The girl gets one blanket and the floor
for a bed. The foregoing is my written statement
and is true "
