He won yestercay’s contest by a majority so small that the full vote had to be counted before the result could be definitely known. Hiram C. Gill polled but 500 less votes than his op- nt. The election was hotly contested. Feeling ran high. There was much oratory and some invective. The Seattle cit- izen, properly, takes his politics seriously, The struggle is ended, The Seattle citizen may now return with renewed in- terest to those activities of every day which occupied his ener- gies before the primaries. os Some may regret that the contest was not more decisive, The Star does not regret. The Star worked for Cotterill with might and main. It fought as it always fi if elected, he would give the people good, prompt attention. o'clock Kindly phone thie k for the Ciroulation Depart- honest and efficient The Star believes that Cotterill is big enough and broad enough never to forget that he is the servant of, not only the little more than half of the people who voted for him, but also} — of the little less than half who voted against him, And if he should ever be tempted to forget his duty to the whole people, the result of yesterday's contest will remind him. The Star believes that even those who were the most bit- terly opposed to Cotterill will some day rejoice that the will of the majority—even so small a majority—prevailed. It is a tenet in.the American's faith to fight hard to the end, and then shake hands, all animosities forgetting. So be it, Let us forget animosities, and get down to the serious iness of making Seattle the best city in the United to live in. Yes! Paraphrasing slightly Cotterill’s words uttered before the primaries, we do want harmony, a get-together and that harmony should be founded on recognition of justice, it get-together Spirit shall be for the good. 'e shall have prosperity, but the future of not be shadowed by the dollar mark, but bright- devotion to the ideals of human helpful- human happiness. We shall have a Greater Seattle, it shall be a safer, better, nobler Seattle—a true City of where humanity rules and commerce serves. E any Tt is announced that President Taft intends to defend the courts and their decisions. ‘That is to be the theme of his campaign for a second term.

All through his college-professor days Woodrow Wilson taught this classes that the executive—the president or governor or mayor— ought to make himself the actual leader of the people who elected bim—that he ought to walk into the legislative halls of his govern- Ment and take a hand in framing legislation. He reasoned thus: “The executive is elected by all the people, He will he held re- Sponsible for what is done by the legisiative branch of the government during his administration.
