t| Bob Bridges is not an issue in the port election next Tuesday. Don’t let the organs of the Port Pirates muddy the water. There is only ne issue and that issue is the attempt of the Pirates to increase the commission-so they can grab control. A morning paper says there is no danger in the Pirates’ attempt to increase the membership of the commission. Only two members are to be elected next fall, it gays, and it lies. Three members are to be elected if the Pirates’ scheme succeeds. AND THREE MEMBERS’ WOULD BE A MAJORITY. 5.00ig & A majority is what the Pirates hope to get. & _The Pirates threaten to delay Seattle another two years by court injunctions “~~ fanless their terms are accepted. {3 Why not kill the Pirates’ scheme now? Why not end their criminal efforts to tie up Seat- led e's harbor? There’s just one way todo it. Slaughter the Pirates’ proposition, No. 4.

These citizens see the bunco game the Port Pirates as The Star pointed it out in its issue of Friday. They urge voters to block the Pirates’ steal by defeating their Proposi- most ap- nt stitch. mony to the effect that he was offered a bribe of 250,000 shares In the Ayers company to “see things In the right light.” M. B. Harbin, a Commercial Club member, chanced into the ante- room of the grand jury room by mistake, and saw Brace before the jury. Harbin says Brace was near collapse.
