Stop, look and reason, citizens of Seattle. There’s something more than an imaginary red flag ahead. There’s a real danger---a menace to all Seattle if the sinister influence now at work suc- ceeds in its despicable purpose of involving this city in a recall turmoil. Regardless of your opinion of George Cotterill and no matter with what amount of disgust you look upon his assailant, stop and think matters over. Don’t get excited over an artificially created “‘crisis.””, Don’t be stampeded into a trap. Don’t swallow the flaunting falsehoods being wed out by columns, designed to arouse hatred and to incite the unthinking. Think things over. Then, after a few days, the vapid frothings of the baiters and the mock pa- triots will excite only your ridicule. Whichever side you’re on, think a little today. ae ibe thage lt Ob nee IE co chow bow ta’ fasle shane he he’s written a novel based on their im- en eee ey eae THE ONLY PAPER IN SEATTLE THAT DARES TO PRINT THE NEWS SEATTLE, WASH.
