C. In the fourth installment of his story of John Riplinger and King county politics, Mr Smith tells of the personal career of Mr. Riplinger from the time he first secured a public office in Min nesota until he was given a place in the office of the comp troller of the city of Seattle under Will H. Parry. Today's installment in a slight diver- sion from the story outlined and is given so that the reader may better understand the character of Riplinger. Tomorrow's installment of Smith's narrative will tell of John Riplinge introduc tion into the city comptroller’s office under Will H. Parry, who had been legislated into the office to the exclusion of Robert Stewart, who had been elected. Mr. Smith will review the history of city politics un der the Burleigh-Heilbron Hunt-Furth regime, touching upon the midnight resignation of Mayor Harry White, under threat. Saturday's installment will review the “Talk with Parry” regime at the city hall and the bold attempt to cheat the city out of the Cedar River water system. BY JOE SMITH.
