Political Parties in City Affairs Political parties, in the national sense, have absolutely no place in municipal elections, The term “republican” and “demo crat" imply an agreement with certain policies affecting the government of the nation, As applied to city affairs they are misnomers, and are merely of doubtful convenience in desig nating contending candidates and their supporters In the fulfillment of the duties of a mayor there is nothing calling for the exercise of political judgment there is nothing for a democrat or a republican to do, There is mo tariff ques tion, no question of expansion, no military or naval problems no relations with foreign powers, It is merely an office dealing with city ordinances, police, fire, street, water and light ing departments, in all of which there is ao room for polit Honesty, judgment and initiative are the qualifications most prized in a mayor, and a mayor's belief in or oppost tion to a high tariff has not the least bearing on the sub- ject. The mayor is an employe of the people, selected to perform certain duties, He is chosen, presumably, because of certain inherent qualities, and because he believes in do- ing certain things for the betterment of local conditions. To vote for or against him because he subscribes to the plat form adopted at the last republican national convention is absurd on the face of it. It would be just as reasonable to support or oppose him because of his religious affiliations, the cut of his wearing apparel or the color of his hair. It is much more to the point to agree or disagree with him in his attitude toward public service corporations or the regula tion of the Hquor business. His faith in the efficacy of postal savings banks is not nearly so important as his theo- ries of municipal expenses and consequent taxation. And as to these matters of public service corporations, taxation, saloons, restricted districts and the like, there is no mention in either the republican or democratic credo. A moment's calm and dispassionate thought will serve to show how nonsensical is the rallying call to the party standard that will be heard for the next three weeks. The republicans of Seattle will be urged and implored to come to the support of the fepublican candidate for mayor, because he is a republican; the most immaterial, irrelevant reason that could possibly be given It just so happens that this farce will now be played under re- publican auspices in Seattle; it is done by democrats in other cities, and it is equally foolish and harmful under all circuny stances. It is trickery, playing on the political patriotism of voters who are fanatical enough to disregard their own imme- diate interests to pay tribute to the national doctrine of one or the other political parties frage on the plea that he was German, Irish or Scandinavian, he would be laughed to scorn, yet his nationality has every bit as If a candidate were to ask for suf much to do with his ability as mayor as his political affiliations This is one of the inconsistencies that still lingers, and it will soon be 1 Voters of ordinary common sense will be divided among all candidates, but no bis ballot because he is a republican or a democrat le use of. voter can claim this distinction who marks With the idea of making the; The congressional comm!
