Were it possible to break through the rottenness of the system employed in keeping record of the affairs of the board of county commissioners, The Star believes that there would be found there innumerable cases of criminal conduct on the part of the commissioners. When a man without any visible mcans of support thereto fore, takes office at a salary of $2,000 a year and lives there- after at a rate of three or four times that amount each year, he stamps himself at once as dishonest and unworthy the confi- dence of a respectable community. For years the commissioners of King county have been GRAFTERS, It was GRAFT that led them to seek the office, THE SEATTLE STAR. HAY SIDEWALK 13 A MENACE AND & DISGRACE TEE COM.

You have allowed as corrupt a gang as ever fattened at the public trough to handle your money and your business. You have voted for these men because they were on your party ticket. The office of county commissioner has never seemed of importance to you. You have allowed the politicians to blind your eyes, and you have gone on year after year thinking only of what seemed to you the bigger offices. And all the while these GRAFTERS have been slipping in at each succeeding election and have been spending your money to enrich them selves and their friends. Two million dollars a year—eighty per cent of it coming from the people of the city of Seattle—is the sum entrusted to these men. They have made no accounting to you and they have fixed it so that it is almost impossible to secure an ac- counting. Some of it has been honestly spent. A great deal of it has been disposed of dishonesty. You can stop this GRAFT if you will. Already several honest men have filed their declarations of candidacy for the coming vacancies on the board of county commissioners, and before the final date of filing other honest men will have de- clared their candidacies. INVESTIGATE—go out among the people and learn who and what these men are. Never mind the party. Look to the men alone. Determine for yourself their fitness. The Star will help you all it can between now and primary day. And just a final word: Don't make inquiry among the politicians. They will lie to you. Ask some one who knows @d who will tell you the truth. A SIGN OF BETTER TIMES The present gubernatorial fight in the state of Washing- ‘Bn is remarkable in that it has as one of its most prominent Ggures a candidate who is not a politician and who does not gumber among his supporters the politicians of the state. It's a good’ sign—a sign of better times, when a man, claiming only honesty and intelligence, is able to go out among the people and secure their support for political office. Under the old system of convention nominations men of this sort were Rot wanted, and were therefore not permitted to become can- didates for important offices. Under the direct primary system, however, it is possible for a man not versed in the ways of the politicians to seek and to gain the nomination of his party for any office. For many years S. G. Cosgrove, of Pomeroy, Wash., has aspired to the office of governor of this state. He wasn't wanted by the poli- ticians, however, and for that reason his efforts failed. This year Mr. Cosgrove is again a candidate. For the past 12 months he has been visiting the electors in all parts of the state, and now he is in Seattle to spend the remaining days of the campaign. Until a few months ago his candidacy was not seriously considered in Seattle or the western part of the state. Today, however, the politicians are awakening to the fact that they do not seem to be necessary to the welfare of a candidate. They are becoming alarmed at the growing strength of this lawyer from Pomeroy, who, with honesty and intelligence as his only claim, is breaking into a stronghold that the politicians thought they had secure. ‘The direct primary law seems to be working well. To have their boat sent to the bottom by the president's yacht and to then be presented to the president in the cabin of his yacht, is a distinction that comes to few seamen of the schooner Manawa are to be envied.
