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 Sjtate office."—SENATOR MILES POINDEXTER.

Miss O'Plara was found this morning lying on the sidewalk in front of her hotel. From all ap pearances she came to her death calmly and without pain. She probably escaped the miserable discomforts which usually at tend such a fate.

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.
