The plain duty of plain people is to vote for Bob Hodge in the primaries,September 7th. Then his election against Standpatter Hay in November willbe a certainty.

Laden with more than 1,000photographs of Alaska sceneryanil aiiinu.ls, with as many thrill-ing stories of his adventures, anilwith a new altitude record forAmerican mountain scaling. Bed-well Browne, Tacoma'g author-artist, has just returned from his.imtiii of Mount McKinley.

Mr. Browne and Professor Her-schel Parker of Brooklyn, N. V.,with two expert dog drivers, MerleLaVoi and Arthur Aten, made theascent of Mount McKlnley afterundergoing privations and terri-ble exposure to cold to within300 feet of the highest point, or2 0,100 feet above sea level.

For 17 days while crosHing thesnow blown peaks of the Alaskanrange the party was lost. Not vspear of vegetation was seen bythem during that time.

On July 6, which will long beremembered as a day of terror InAlaska, the little party were wellup on the glaciers of the moun-tain. This was the day of theeruption on Kodiak island. Al-though thcv were 1,000 milesfrom the disturbance, they dis-tinctly heard the explosions,which sounded to be about 5 milesdistant.

"It was impossible to stand onone's limimln and knees. We layflat on the ground, while about uswhole mountains crumbled down,great cracks opened in the eartti,and the entire country was anavalanche," said Mr. Browne.. "We saw an avalanche andheard It roar down the side ofMount McKlnley. It was 10miles distant, yet the whirlwindof snow and dust passed over ourheads like a giant tornado. Hugeboulders as large as a house roll-ed about like marbles from thequake.

"Our last permanent camp wasmade between the two largestl»-«ks of M< Kini.j. From herewe made two attacks upon themountain. In the first attemptwe were driven back by the ex-treme cold and snow.

"Taking a fair dny for oursecond trip, we reached a pointwhere it was impossible to decidewhich of three small knobs aboveus was the true summit of Mc-Klnley. Here a storm brokeupon us and we had to turn backWe were within 300 feet of theiiighest point.

"Standing in the doorway ofour camp we could at any timesee (treat herds of caribou. Mooseand elk were common and hun-dreds of mountain sheep rould beseen with a field glass on thesides of the mountain.^

TRY TO BEAT HODGEBY A COMBINATION

OF CANDIDATESWould-Be Progressives Trying to Combine the

Forces of the Other Candidates for Governor inan Effort to Beat the People's Candidate forGovernor.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)SEATTLE, Aug. 29. -Would be progressive

bosses who want to dictate the nomination of gover-nor on the Roosevelt ticket are trying desperately tocombine the forces of Lawrence, Case and Paulha-mus in an effort to defeat "Bob" Hodge, the people'scandidate who at the present time is away ahead ofthe field. The Case forces have given up the hope ofwinning entirely. Case publicly stated yesterdaythat he was defeated, but said that he would gothrough anyhow.

The Lawrence forces, while trying to maintaina confident air, feel about as despondent as doesCase. Lawrence has made a dismal failure in hiscampaign. He has caused no enthusiasm andmost of the leaders who took him up at first havenow dropped him.

Paulhamus had no sooner entered the race thanhe received a broadside from the labor federation,the state grange, and the farmers' union, in theshape of an expose of his past political record fromthe time he was the lobbyist for the railroad inter-ests in Olympia. While some of the near progres-sives are backirig Paulhamus, it is generally admit-ted that he will draw but few votes.

Lawrence and Case managers were in con-ference yesterday trying to induce one or the otherto withdraw in order to center their forces againstHodge. Case was offered a sure nomination asstate auditor ifhe would quit in favor of Lawrence.The Case people on the other hand were just asgenerous and offered Lawrence a fat berth if hewould withdraw in favor of Case. Neither aspirant,however, wanted to yield to the other. No agree-ment was reached, and the indications today arethat the three near progressives, Lawrence, Caseand Paulhamus, have reconciled themselves todefeat.

"Bob" Hodge in the meantime is ignoring thebackroom conferences of his opponents and is mak-ing a campaign which is a terror both to the would-be progressive bosses and the standpatters. Hissupporters in Tacoma have financed and arrangedfor a gigantic wind-up raliy in Tacoma's biggest hallnext Tuesday night, and following this Hodge willstartle his home city with the greatest politicalmeeting in years.
