an, Is Charge.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Oct. 20. (Special.)
In answer to the campaign statements
of Robert T. Hodsre, candidate for Gov.
ernor on the Roosevelt Progressive
ticket, in which he is tolling his audi
ences that he is a self-made man, and
in which he dwells with emotional ef
fect on his hard struggle upward from
early poverty to his present promin
ence, the Post-Intelligencer tomorrow
morning will publish an affidavit from
Jennie Hodge, whom he recently di
vorced. This statement sets forth that
during the greater part of their mar
ried life the wife was the breadwinner
for the family. In part the affidavit,
made October 8 in San Francisco, says:
"I was married to Robert T. Hodge.
June 22, 1895, in Comox, B.. C where
he was at that time working In the
coal mines. After three months here
we moved to Kangley, a Bmall town
above Black Diamond, and from there
to Black Diamond. During this time
Bob worked but intermittently. When
we got back to Black Diamond, my
first baby, Willie, was about to be
born, and we were penniless. Bob's
folks sent him J50 for my benefit,
and I myself was compelled to
go to Superintendent Morgan and
beg for a house for my child to be
born in. Mr. Morgan, who knew me
from the time I was a little girl, gave
me the house, and, after a heart-to-heart
talk with Bob, made him go to
work. I borrowed enough furniture to
make a sort of home. -
Family Left Penniless, Wife Saya.
"We moved to the Clay Mines, where
we stayed three months, then to Fire
Clay. At this time Bob took it into his
head to go to sea, and left me without
any money and with my nursing baby.
My parents supported me for a month,
until he had enough seafaring, when
he came back penniless."
After relating several moves and
hardships, she proceeds:
"Bob could not get any work in
Wardner, and I had to take in wash
ing. My second baby was born there,
and almost as sooif as I was out of bed
I was back at the tub supporting Bob.
We were absolutely penniless and des
titute In Wardner, without food very
often, and almost continually without
fuel. -1 well remember that on one oc
casion the baby's feet froze in the
house. The day before Christmas Jack
Mclvor, of Black Diamond, came to
our house and found us with nothing
to eat and no fuel. He gave us some
money to tide us over Christmas."
On a later occasion, she relates. Bob
tried to choke her and was restrained
by a neighbor, Mrs. Hodge alleges.
Immorality la Charged. '
"While Bob was Deputy Sheriff,
aside from failing to support me, he
was generally kind to both me and the
children, but once he became Sheriff
his whole attitude changed. Other
women attracted his attention until he
had no time to be home. When he was
running around town with other
women he would telephone me that he
had business that would compel him to
sleep in the office.
"While the Gill recall campaign was
on he took me to Los Angeles with the
children. While I was there he and
lis friends held high revel with
women In my house. I can name the
men and the women who wtere there,
?nd some of the men are now holding
office In King County.
"When Bob finally became so Infatu
ated with a certain woman, for whom
he secured a divorce, that he told me
that he cared for me no longer, and
that I could get out and go to the
devil if I wanted to, I proposed that
we go different ways; that we have
our lawyers settle the matter. He
would not do this, but talked me into
leaving him on the promise that he
would always support me. When he
got me in San Francisco he did not
support me, and I have-been working
for a dollar a day most of the time
since. When he served divorce papers
on me I was sick and helpless, and
glad for any relief.
"In conclusion, I am willing to state
on my oath that all the time we were
married, except at rare Intervals, Bob
Hodge failed to support me; that I
supported hina, jrcjjseU and the children.
Further, I was a good, true and lawful
wife to him for 16 long years, when he
turned me adrift because he did not
think I was good enough for him after
he had become Sheriff."

GENERAL MATJS OOMMEXDS
WASHINGTON" TROOPS.
Lieutenant Crusan, Inspector-Instructor,
Informed of Fine
Showing at Maneuvers.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct. 20. (Spe
cial.) High praise of the standing,
spirit and personnel of the Washing
ton National Guard is accorded by
Army officers who attended the Sum
mer maneuvers. In a letter dated
August 5, 1912, written by direction of
General Maus to Lieutenant Crusan,
inspector-Instructor, Adjutant-General
Fleming says:
"The regiment appeared in better
strength than any other of the states
engaged. It was well equipped, in a
very satisfactory state of training and
took such a part In the maneuvers that
it was clearly evident that In case of
war, the regiment would be effective
in actual campaign.
"From the colonel down, the officers
appeared to be interested and to have
taken advantage of all the Instruc
tions offered, which, in this campaign,
was as near that of actual war as it
was possible to have it. Especial com
mendation Is due to tha colopel ofc the
regiment, who, at all times, showed
not only the deepest Interest in his
command, but a cheerful fulfillment of
all duty required.
"The cavalry troop of the state was
well equipped, performed excellent
service and is worthy of commenda
tion. "The signal corps company was ex
cellent, and the department command
er doubts very much if a regular com
pany would have performed better
service than It, under the circum
stances. The energy shown and hard
work performed by the company, from
the captain down, was such as to de
serve the highest commendation.
While the 'company lacked somewhat
in the number of experienced op
erators, It made up in every way by
faithful devotion to duty and untiring
energy in the performance thereof,
and It is especially desired to com
mend this organization.
"It is the opinion of the command
ing general that the present condition
of the organized militia of Washing
ton Is very satisfactory and that in
every respect it Justifies its existence
and Its liberal support by the state
and general government."
Letters of similar tenor were re
ceived from Colonel George S. Young
and Colonel C. J. Bailey.

the cost All city prisoners are now
required to break rock at the city
