SLUM RULE CANDIDATE : Every business man and taxpayer*of the city of tle is vitally interested in the defeat of George U. Piper for a seat im the state senate. In itself the office Piper covets is of no very great importance. The power of any member of the state legislature for good or evil is limited. But considered in the light of its effect upon the moral welfare of the city, Piper’s success would be little less than a public calamity. Tt would mean the final victory of the corrupt First ward political machine which now absolutely controls the Seattle police department and is striving for su- premacy in other important branches of the city gov- ernment. ! For years the slum politicians of'Seattle, irrespec- tive of party, have been reaching out for the reins of city government, and at the present time have all but attained their object. The election of George U. Piper would seat them firmly in the saddle and go far toward turning the cit yover to be plundered by a set of boodlers more grasping and more merciless than those who were recently overthrown by political upheavals in the cities of St. Louis and Minneapolis. Already conditions in Seattle are but little less de- moralizing than in Minneapolis, where a wholesale sys- tem of police “grafting” upon the confidence men and gamblers was uncovered by a grand jury investigation. Already there are hints of corrupt practices in Se- attle very similar to those which were the first intima- tion of the existence of an organized gang of brigands in the city council of St. Louis. It is for the people to say at the polls tomorrow whether the efforts of men of the Piper stamp to foist slum rule upon the respectable and law-abiding ele- ment in Seattle, shall be rebuked. @An effectual rebuke will be administered by the de- feat of Piper. There is every reason:to believe that it will be administered. en, It is an open secret that the political machine dom- inated by Mr. Piper, is maintained year'in and year out by the levy of blackmail upon gamblers and other law- breakers in an amount far exceeding the petty fines col- lected from those helpless individuals in police court. It is an open secret, in truth, that the entire fine sys- tem by which the voters were led to believe the present city administration would control certain forms of vice, has been perverted into a mere cloak for secret extor- tion by the Piper political machine. The fight now being conductedon behalf of George U. Piper in the First and Fourth wards is practically non-partisan. The forces of evil have concentrated up- on him as their candidate. It is for the forces of good to concentrate against him. : Day by day the citizens who have obliterated party lines and gone out to battle against slum despotism, “have found new evidence to prove how: rateis Pip- e's fight. Scores of lodging houses in the tenderloin district are filled with “floaters” who om election will be voted for the slum candidate. The registration books for the First Second and Fourth precincts of that ward have been found to be ® padded fully 30 per cent. in the Piper machine's inter- est. Uv. is in no true sense of the word a candidate. He is the ward-heelers’ candidate. them he was nominated by the Republican convention, against the earnest opposition of the most men who attended that gathering. The ition to Piper is not the opposition of a ‘B party faction, but one of all believers in govern- ment. _ It is in the interests of good government that i 2. + the Star is compelled to ask its readers to join in bring- | ing about his defeat. A" t's defeat means the restriction of his methods to the slums of Seattle. f His election means that the slime of the tenderloin will be trailed through the halls of the state capi It ® is for the voters tomorrow to say where he yom ganado For Detention of Pa- tients During Their Trial FOR INSANE can be decided whether or not they are really insane and fit subjects for en asylum.
