SOME STRAIGHT-FROM-SHOUiDER
BLOWS FROM HODGE NEXT GOV.
Here are some center shots gleaned from recent
speeches made by Bob Hodge, the people's candidate
for governor:
I did everything but boss the job (in factory in
early days) for $1.00 a day. That is why I have
always been for the masses.
I have a good pair of lungs and sound limbs and
I have used them and will use them to fight the
grafters.
Even my enemies will admit that the sheriff's
office was better administered under me than ever
before. The time has passed when prisoners are
starved to fatten the sheriff's bank account.
The law has plenty of loopholes for those who
have means. The trouble is that laws are now con
, trolled by technicalities rather than by humane prin
ciples.
I am for the initiative, referendum and recall
for the simple reason that I am in favor of the funda
mental principle of giving the people the control of
their own government.
Judges, above all, should be subject to the recall.
Honest men need have no fear of the recall.
Just as sure as I told Lou Smith, who laughed
at me, that I would be his successor as sheriff, so I
am telling you that I will be the first governor in
the state to"go before the legislature and deliver my
message offhand, instead of mumbling it.
Eggs sold by the farmer for 22 cents cost the
consumer 60 cents. Turkeys are sent to soap fac
tories rather than allow prices to fall by unloading
them to the people. Is that condition a happy one
for free people!
When I get older and should be going down
the street with a grandchild some day, I hope I don't
want anyone to point to me and say: "There goes a
man who trimmed and hedged when he was gov
ernor."
I intend to prune expenses off that state tree,
especially the lemons that grow there.
My political enemies spent $25,000, when I re
fused to accept $5,000 to join them, to get me con
victed of a misdemeanor by grand jury indictment
that could have been punishable, if I had been found
guilty, by a maximum fine of only $250.
The King county political ring found me, as a
public servant, a peculiarly constructed animal.
I am not lambasting my opponents in the guber
natorial race, because I want to tell you what I
intend to do, and not what they ought to do and
didn't do.
I will use every power of the governor to enact
a bill limiting the power of the cold storage men to
main unnatural high prices on food products. ,
A box of powder costing $1.50 to manufacture
is sold for $7.50 to the farmer. I am in favor of
helping the farmer to clear his land, and will ad
vocate the state manufacture of powder and selling
it at cost.
Mark my words. I shall be the only one to finish
this race. The others will be found tied to the
quarter post.
Camp Fire Girls
They are organizing In Tacoma and other places over the
country lodges of loyalty, service, courage, health and "for premo-
Uon of the gang spirit."
The watchwords are "health, work, love." Probably two of these
are not really necessary, because work, real whole souied work in
wholesome surroundings, inevitably produces health and love sxd
th* love is no counterfeit, but the real thing.
To enter a girl must serve three months as a "wood gatherer,"
under certain restrictions such aa abstinence from chocolates.
The splendid thing, though, is the promotion of the principles
of real democracy and the dignifying of labor. Women need to
learn, more than any other one thing, that it is ignoble and sinful
not to do each her fair share of the world's work. The present
Ideal of a lovely, lazy lady is. impossible of attainment and though it
Isn't v specified duty, these girls will be working at beauty culture
•rvy minute, with wonderfully happy results that won't come off.
There's a heap of difference between work and toll, and to
distinguish will be one of the usful things they will learn. When
we are creating something, be it orderly rooms or schemes of gov
ernment, we are truly happy and free. But doing a treadmill weary
round from which we harvest nothing and see no release we are
la danger of losing sight of the likeness in which we are cast.
These campflre girls can light the way to the best there is for
all of us.

POLITICAL NEWS AND COMMENT BY
TIMES' WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT
BY GrLSOX OARDNEH.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 28.
—William A. Prendergast. control
ler of the city ot New York, has
been chosen by the managers of
Roosevelt's presidential cam
paign to make the speech placing
him In nomination. Among those
seconding the nomination will be
Governor Hiram Johnson of Cali
fornia, and Senator Moses E.
Ciapp of Minnesota.
Tuft to Practice I-aw.
Speculation as to what Presi
dent Taft proposes to do after
leaving the White House is set at
rest by his announcement to inti
mate friends that he proposes to
enter upon the practice of law In
New York. His training as a
judge and his experience In man
aging national affairs has been
such as to commend him to large
corporate enterprises and these is
no question but that/business will
come to any firm which has his
name on the door. The partnership
probably will be with his brother,
Henry W. Taft, and the present
attorney general, George W. Wick
erßham. The present firm name is
Strong and Cadawalder. This may
be retained.
Good Riddance to Crane.
In spite of his pleasing person
ality atfd general popularity
among with whom he is brought
into contact, Senator Wlnthrop
Murray Crane is one of.the worst
members of the senate. He is
the kind of senator who can best
be spared. He is in the senate to
represent big business. By his per
sonal business holdings he repre
sents the General Electric com
pany, the telephone and telegraph
companies, the government mono
poly for the manufacture of paper
for money and bonds, and the
New England railway and steam
ship mergor. Crane's • alliances
with big business are as close and
strong as those of any member
who ever sat in the United States
senate. His votes have been con
sistently on the side of big busi
ness.
Bourne in Cabinet Maybe.
Friends of Jonathan Bourne of
Oregon have begun a movement
to have him named as postmaster
general in the Roosevelt cabinet.
