V BODpEIIIESlFE TOpi IN WASHING 'It )as I Who Took Clothes Irr Declares Washington Candidate. "NATE DID FRILLS ONLY" Aspirant to Governorship Denounces Attacks on Private Ilfe to Largo Audience in Spokane John ti. Wilson Is Arraigned. BPOKANB, "Wash., Oct. 19. (Spe cial.) "Absolutely false," was the re ply that Robert T. Hodge, Progressive candidate for Governor, made here Friday night before 1500 people to the charge that his wife had been com pelled to take in washing to support him. "It was I that took the washing In, he said. "That waa down In Coeur d'AIene when the laundry burned down. I went around town and gathered up dirty clothes and brought them home and washed them. Of course, when there were some fancy things with frills my wife washed them, but I did the bulk of the work with these two hands," and he flung them out In front of him. "These charges will act like a boomerang," he declared, 'for those so cowardly and so low as to stoop to such an attack. Demoorats and every one else are coming to me now. "Look at those people who make the charges against me," he continued. "There Is M. A. Morgan Plerpont Mor gan, they call him. He took the hos pitality of my family for months, he borrowed money and never paid It back, and now, because his conscience Is troubling him, he is turning on me. That's the kind of people that are at tacking me. Bona Are Hart, He Sara. "I've been placed on the defensive wherever I go. I have to devote most of my speeches to talking about my self. When they made these charges they knew they were absolutely false. By doing this they are not only hurting my wife that was, but my boys." Hodge denounced in ringing words those who have brought charges against his private life. While he did not overlook Progressive principles and the Progressive platform, taking some of the more Important measures up singly for discussion, the main body of Hodge's address had to deal with the accusations published In the pa pers of the Coast. Wllaoa la Arraigned. Hodge plunged into the thing right at the outset, and when, after a few brief paragraphs, he leaned far over the footlights and, with flat clenched, shouted "I refuse to discuss from the publlo platform any of my private af fairs," the big crowd broke forth In a long cheer. The rally at the South Central High School waa the big state rally of the Progressives. F. AL Goodwin, candl dat efor Congress, from this district, and Govnor Teats, candidate trf Lieutenant-Governor, also delivered ad dresses, Hodge arraigned ex-Senator John L. 'Wilson, 8. A. Perkins, and to a lesser degree Governor Hay. "The Progressive party will oome through with a majority of 80,000 or 40.000," declared Mr. Hodge. "I have dared these men that make charges against he under the guise of a news paper to come up on the platform wIUi me and make them. I have offered to defend myself In public, but they have not responded. It costs money to make such aocusatlons and use the newspa pers as have these enemies more money than I have got. John L. Wil son has offered me inducements to quit this race. I will never quit until I am either elected or defeated." the cornerstone of the new City Hall at Front avenue and Wall street was lowered Into place this afternoon un der the direction of Frank N. Mc Candless. of Tacoma, grand master o the Masons or wasningion. Mayor Hindley. himself a past master of the Masons, delivered a short talk. The five city commissioners occupied seats on the platform. Mayor iinaiey hinted briefly at the problems the city rnvprnmmt had to overcome to have quarters, the old City Council having sold the present City Hall to the rail roads, and the people nave reiusea w approve in general the original plans for a fireproof building to cost $500. 000. The present building will cost only about 300,000, and was decided upon only after the commissioners found It would be cheaper than renting quar ters in some down-town building and allowing the new site, purchased by OCTOGENERIAN, RESIDENT OF HARRIS BURG, DIES AT CAMAS.

In opening hia talk, that he hoped to duplicate the t i i ...... nt lArttrla lines in Southern California in the Willamette Valley. He said there was 1000 miles of electrlo roads there and that the prospects which the Willamette Val ley has for development Indicate such a system here. He urged a spirit of co-operation rather than antagonism between the people and the railroads. President Strahorn said that not only the agricultural opportunities and natural resources were here to stimu late the construction of electrlo lines, but that the country has splendid coast and mountain resorts, mineral springs and opportunities for hunting and fishing to bring traffic to such lines. Tk. n...aUv nf tint MUtsdlvlslOn Of big farming lands to develop traffic and encourage tne conBirwiuuu electrlo lines was emphasized by the BnaoVAv li a iitnlc. of the needs of Intensive cultivation also and told how the electrlo lines nenerit a country by bringing in new people and bring ing Vi unit nn tn a. hle-hnr standard of development. Such lines also bring the city ana country oioser wsi and ' raise the standard of living in both. 'Willamette Valley Landed. "The Willamette Valley Is the finest territory of Its extent on the globe," said President Strahorn, "and is thor oughly " adapted to Intensive cultiva tion and development by the trolley. If we co-operate along this line we will have that thousand miles of eleo trlo line In the Willamette Valley al most before we know It." Speaking of plans for railroad de velopment In this part of the state. President Strahorn said It was the intention of the Portland. Eugene & Eastern to get Into Albany at the earliest possible date by th? best pos sible route. He said the road would develop new territory at the same time. Instead of paralleling other roads in reaching this city. He said a new line wuuld be built on the west side of the Willamette River from West Salem to Independence; that the present west side line would be eleo trlfled between. Independence and Wellsdale, and a new line would be built from Wellsdale to Albany. Mr. Strahorn said he realized the wealth of the South Santiam Valley and the country around Lebanon and hoped for a line In that section of the county soon. He said rapid servloe would be Inaugurated between Albany and Corvallls and that the work on the line between Corvallls and Eu gene would be completed so that steam trains could be operated by Jan uary t and that eleotrlo cars would be operated as soon thereafter as pos sible. Line t Coaat Foreseen. He said he looked forward to the time when the Corvallls & Eastern line would be electrified from Albany to the coast. He said that project was not being considered now, but that If 25-CENT HI AND DANDERENE 0 FALLING DANDRUF F- GROWS HAIR Don't Pay 50c for Worthless Hair Tonics Use Old, Re liable, Harmless "Danderine" Get Results.
