Gill for the office of mayor, by hie Executive Committee. Present Campaign A WORD TO THE WQMEN OF SEATTLE. In the bitter campafkn now being waged in this city for the honor of election as Mayor of Scattie, two great issues figure? One the financial management of a great municipal institution, the city gov ernment; the other, the moral and civic welfare problems, I will pass over the former problems briefly: Lam more deeply concerned with the personal or moral lsrues. One of Mr. Cotterill's supporters urges the women to vote for this candidate because he is one of he fathers of the franchise to women Yet when approached by women welfare workers regarding cer- tain important mora) issues, Mr. Cotierilt calmly turned them down. Mr, Parish also sidestepped and would not commit bimself. | ask who should be supported, the man who i# instrumental in granting a franchise privilege to women for personal political benefit and then throttles any attempt to take advantage of such privilege for the common good, or the man, like Mr. Gill, who has backbone and humanity enough to “dare” pledge himself to such vital reforms and permit the women to use their franchise jn the service of humanity? That's another reason why | am for H. C. Gill, in addition to my knowledge of the valuable assistance he has rendered this city on behalf of child and anima! pro- tection PARISH NOT WITH PEOPLE One of Mr. Parish’s inspired apell-bindéers says: “You cannot afford to elect Gill to office be- the people in the Bast will not come here and make Seattle their hbme.” We have now had our political Moses, Georke W. Dilling, in office for the past twelve months and I ask you have you ever had as many “For Rent” signs on your bouses and business blocks as at the present tim Not only the poople are not coming to Seattle. under a reform administration, but evidently leaving jt by the handreds, It's all going out and nothing coming in. So much for that argument. Our political opponents have even resorted to a comparison in physical measurements of the condidates In an endeavor to disqualify Mr. Gill, It's the first time I ever heard of a man’s brains be- ing ganged by the size of the suit of clothes he wears. J admit Mr. Gill may not be constructed on the architectural plans. of Mt. Rainier, Mt. Sinal, or a Northern Pacific roundhouse; we admit he may not be quite as handsome as the “ladies’ choice” of the opposite factions, But if a man ts honest, just, homane and conscientious; if he stands by bis friends and keeps his word, I don't care how he wears ir. eggs KNOWS WHERE GILL STANDS. Mr. Gill says If he is elected mayor he will appoint Mr. Cudihee chief of police. As yet there has been no charge brought against the record of Mr. Cudihee as a public official. In the election of Mr. Parish or Mr. Cotterill there is scarcely any question but that we shall have to endure Claude G Bannick for another term as the head of the loca! police department. If for no other reason I will vote for Mr. Gili and the appointment of Mr. Cudihee as his thoroughly able and efficient chief of police, a man who knows his business and has the moral principle and backbone to Kive us a just and conscientious police administration, instead of a wooden cigar sign, decorated with brass but tons, who allows a bunch of ex-tenderloin policemen to act as the “brains of the administration.” We have had distributed at our church services the past few weeks a little pamphiet containing a mass of lurid and highly colored statements, bearing the title “WHOSE DAUGHTER? I believe these two words represent all the misery, the shame, the suffering and degradation of women since the time of Eve, But what promise or remedy does this pamphiet cortain or offer as a solution to thia great problem of the social evil? What does it really mean? Simply this That in the election of one of the church candidates he will abolish the restricted district and run ite unfortunate inhabitants out of the city and then we shall stand cleansed and purified before God and man? But I want to tell you what it really means. It means that these consecrated fol- lowers of the lowly Nazarene shall say to the erring woman: “We'll hunt you and persecute you #o that you dare not show your face to the light of day; we'll chase you out of town and hound you from pillar to post; we don't care whether you go to Portland or Bellingham or Tacoma or Bverett; we don’t care if you sink to the very depths of hell and degradation so jong as you leave our city.” And, women, when this time comes to pass under the election of a so-called “reform” mayor of the ministerial choice, I ask that the ministers and the women in back of them who are insisting upon this fesue, go to the King st. station and the Colman dock, where thetraing and boats go out, and seo this pitiful horde of unfortunate creatures scurrying lke a lot of hunted rats, sick, half starved, some of them with white, scared faces, probably not a dollar in thelr ‘pockets and a few earthly be- longings packed in the suit case carried in their hands, and then I ask that you ministers of the gos- pel and your women supporters look upon the miserable faces of these God-forsaken, hopeless crea- tures and then stop and ask: “WHOSE DAUGHTER?” Is that Justice?: Ie that Christianity? Would Jesus of Nazareth look upon such a apectacie and say: “Well done, my brethren”? * MORAL ISSUES. A few weeks ago our prosecuting attorney publicly advocated a state reformatory for women, I thought all the ministers and church workers of this city would get together and shout “Hosannah! Here is « practical solution of this difficult problem of the fallen woman, Now we can give her a But was there a single utterance or indorsement made by aby clergyman or church in Seattl No, not a single ." And yet here was offered the opportiinity to get together and back up this great humanitarian project, so that when we found it necessary tb deal with our erring sisters or remove them from one place to another, we might say: “Here ts ek eat state institution waiting “to receive and protect you; here is the wide open door of hope, and, in the words of the Master, ‘GO AND SIN NO MORE. ‘That's justice; thats true Christianity, PORTLAND, Or,, Feb. 16—-A. ©, Carpenter, an Idabo mining man, loaned two strangers $125 in bills ina One of the men die) appeared and the other gave Car. eheck for $980 and like wine disappeared.

KEEPS HIS PLEDGES. Hi Git’ word always has been good, avd in bis present mayoralty campaign Yoters know he will fulfill bis campaign pledges has been his greatest asset. He has been explicit on every public issue and bas gone further than any other candidate in explaining just what he proposes doing if elected mayor. He has made the same promises in every speech and bas not rearranged those ee to suit different localities or different people. If Gill is elecved the entire city acceptS him on orm written for the whole city and not for any particular locality, WORKS FOR THE PEOPLE. Every vote Gill cast in the council during the ten years he remained in that body was cast in the people's interest. He supported the movement in install a municipally owned water system by voting and working for it in the cOuncil, where voting and working counted. He was a pioneer in the move- ment to build the Hght plant and stands today where he has always stood, in favor ‘of extending that and every other municipally owned utility to every home owner in the city, demanding that the city keep faith with the districts {t annexed when it promised them light, water and sanitary advantages. PIONEERED PLAYGROUNDS. Gill was defeated. once for election to the city council because he purchased Woodland park and installed there the first children’s playground in Seattle. In his one year as mayor he built more children’s playgrounds than all other mayors combined. Gill was the pioneer of the movement to give the children of Seattle's common people the advantages of outdoor recreation and training that they might become better citizens. the fact that the FAVORED MUNICIPAL DOCKS. ‘The first movement toward public ownership of docks was started by Gill and he fought almost single-handed the waterfront monopoly in an effort to make a beginning in public dock ownership two years ago--bdefore public dock ownership became popular enough to attract political trinimers. He lost but public ownersbip of docks is winning GILL’S EARLY LIFE. Probably no other man eyer served in the elty council who was so thoroughly a man of the peo- ple as H.C. Gill, He was left fatherless at 16, worked his way through the University of Wisconsin, learned shorthand and afterward read law in Seattle, His first job was in picking tobacco worms on a farm and his first job in Seattle was that ofa waiter in a waterfront restaurant. Gill knows what it is to work and his sympathies are with those who have to labor. TO RED TAPE. During the time he was in the council elected from the Third ward Gill never turned down a citizen from any other ward, who, failing to get recognition from his own councilman, needed help at the city hal to untangle the red tape of city departments. And when Gill became mayor his first step was to cut out as much as possible of the red tape to make it easier for people to do business with city, departments. As mayor he spent more time aiding callers at the city ball to have their wants at tended to by various departments than any other public official ever gave. And the fact that Gill was a willing public servant has drawn to him support that never swerved in his political battles. HIS RECORD FLAWLESS. With all the bitterness that his enemies have opposed him io one has found a flaw in his record as a councilman for ten years, when the city was making its largest strides and when the foundation was being laid for a great metropolis, If Gill was not able, courageous and honest some enemy would have picked hig record to pieces long ago. Other councilmen came and went shortly thereafter, but after his first defeat for making the people's fight, Gill went back to the council and stayed as long as he wanted to NO LOAFING ALLOWED. When Gill told a public official to stay on his job and to at though a wealthy friend might have wanted to take him on a a personal letter asking that Seattle's business be neglected whil Gill believed that public servants were chosen to do public busin is the only mayor Seattle ever had who had the courage to aex do that work for which they were paid, There were no “nee number of months in looking after the city’s business when CUDIHEE FOR CHIEF. , Every person in Seattle is interested in the police department, for the protection of the home, and the life and Iberty of every citizen is involved. Gil! is the only mayoralty candidate who has frankly announced in adyance whom he will appoint chiet of police and what that chief will do, He has picked Ed C whose record of efficiency as a peace officer was so good that, though this county was over whelmingly republican, he was twice elected sheriff as a democratic candidate, STANDS FOR JAIL REFORM. Gill believes that the best time to make good citizens is during youth. the boy and girl against*temptation that they may begin life right. Afterward the danger of fall is slight. And he also believes that the man or woman so unfortunate as to make the first misstep ought to be helped to get a fresh start and to become a useful citizen. His promise to’ correct jail abuses will do more practical reformation than months of mere oratory ALASKA FOR GILL. ‘Thirty-three Alaska districts are represented by the former Alaskans who live and vote in Seattle and who are supporting H, ©, Gill, They say and they know that if Gill is elected Alaskans who have been oppressed by the present administration will return to do business with Seattle. And Seattle wants them to do business here, for the backbone of Seattle's trade is the business the city does with Alaska Gill tells the people what he will do.
