At the meeting of the council this very Monday night, a franchise privilege worth millions of dollars will certainly be tossed over to the Seattle Electric company, unless the people wake up and present themselves at the council chamber with a protest that cannot be misunderstood. It is proposed to deliberately give away to the Seattle Electric company, whose owners live in Boston, and have not a vestige of interest in Seattle, except the mon It is proposed to hand over to this company, which calmly ignores the petitions and pleadings of the people of this city for more car lines and bet- ter service, the only possible outlet over which a competing or even a city car line can in the future be built from the business section to the north end of the city. GAGE YOUR There are ey which they can extract from the people and carry away with them— This privilege is worth millions. It effectually and forever gives the death blow to the possibidty of a municipal car service. Can you trust your city council to protect the interests of the people against the dark lantern methods of this foreign corporation? Could the people of Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis or Philadelphia trust their councils? There is but one way to save the city from the treacherous game of give-away that is and that is to appear in person at the council chamber and enter a protest against this business of selling out you and your posterity which these juggling aldermen can comprehend.

Is the sole means of access to this great and growing district to be handed over to Mr, Furth and his foreign backers in response to some silent and hypnotic influence which he seems able to exert?
