But they both know Hi Gill; friend, and each has his understanding with him. Gill mayor, the one will get his contract and rob the public like a gentleman; the other will get his privilege and rob the public like a thug. No more does the franchise seeker know the woman of the streets; perhaps he prays for her soul on Sunday, but they will both exist and prosper through their interest in Hi Gill.

The Gang numbers among its members some of the best-known and some of the most notorious men in Seattle. The influence of the one is utilized among the respectable who are unsophisticated, while the other exercises its various powers and pulls its various strings among the riffraff of the underworld, to the one end that Hi Gill may be mayor and distribute the “graft.” That is the Gang as it is working today and will work until the last vote is counted. ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE GANG? If you are, are you going to get your share of the loot? IF YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THE GANG WITH AS- SURANCE OF YOUR PORTION, YOU ARE FOOLISH TO VOTE FOR Hi GILL.
