"The objection they make to Hodge is that he is a new man. Every new movement brings up new men of power. But they say he is like what they said of Lincoln when he was elected president, that he is
uncouth. Well, Lincoln did fairly well and when Bob Hodge is elected I think we can stand it if we have to dispense with some of the society functions to inject a little new vigor into the dry dead bones of

any skill in character reading,
. here are features worth studying.

of John Schrank, the man who
shot Roosevelt, after trailing him
all over the country. The pic

REASON FOR SHOOTING T.R.
AND REVOLVER USED
The reproduction above is from the last page of a rambling
letter found in John Schrank's pocket after he shot Roosevelt. The
line In German near the end is translated, "A mighty fortress is
ourCiotl." This is from Martin Luther's famous hymn, which,
strangely enough, is a favorite of Roosevelt's.

Miss O'Plara was found this
morning lying on the sidewalk in

calmly and without pain. She
probably escaped the miserable
discomforts which usually at

The biggest political meeting ever held in Taenmtt
outside of the presence of a presidential candidate
was that accorded to Bob Hodge, Senator Potidex
ter and W. H. Paulhamui at the armory last night.
The galleries were crowded and the big drill flooE
was filled except for a few feet in the rear of the
hall. And entlmsinin was spontaneous and vigorous.
In spite of the bad weather
hundreds of women were there,
but a majority of the crowd were
men.
"I am going to win; the pro
gressive party Is going: to win and
I know It," said Bob Hodge. J'The
kept press and the standpat poli
ticians, unable to meet our argu
nii'nts' and afraid to discuss tne
Issues lv this campaign, have
turned loose to defame me witli
the most vicious lies and slanders
in the desperation for they have
seen the handwriting on the wall
so visible I presume that it haunts
them in their sleep.
The In-i Party.
"The progressive party is the
first party, outside of the social
ists, to place the cause of hu
manity above the dollar. They
say I have been a coal miner.
Yes, and I am proud of it and I
want to tell you I have seen deed*
of heroism in the coal mines by
the poor miners that would make
heroes of them throughout the
nation. And why shouldn't ray
sympathies be with the men who
toll and produce the wealth of the
nation?
"I have been sheriff of King
county two terms, but no business
man ever failed to pet a square
deal, but I want to say if I never
got the vote of a single business
or professional man—and I am
going to get lots of them—that
when I am elected governor I am
not going to forget the men who
work, and my first concern is go
ing to be for them, for 1 know the
working man has not had a
square deal."
Rob Hodge simply had the
crowd of 2,000 persons right up
on the edge of their chairs cheer
ing moat of the time.
Senator Paulhamus added to
the enthusiasm with every state
ment he made. If anybody
thought Paul was not in the
game they had the Idea dissipated
last night.
Following Hodge Lorenzo Dow,
candidate for prosecuting attor
ney, made a plea for a collection
to pay the bills and a hatfull of
dollars rolled In.
I "If Senator Polndexter never
did anything else as a senator at
Washington, he paid me for my
vote for him when he protested
against the confirmation of Clint
Howard as a federal Judge on the
bench in Western Washington,"
said Paulhamus, introducing the
senator. "For I was at Olympiu
when the railway commission bill
and other progressive measures
were passed and there never was
a time when any progressive bill
was up that Clint Howard was
not there protesting against it as
a 'freak' law."
Senator Poindexter delivered a
powerful speech on the necessity
of a new party to handle new
Issues. He said hlntory showed
old parties must die to let new
Issues be furthered. "We might
as well try to haul a modern train
over the Cascades with an engine
