WORLE YS You Are to Decide Mr. Worley told some of his friends a’ year ago that he might run for the office of Mayor this spring, because through almost twenty years’ association with the work conducted in the city hall, both as city employe and a contractor, he saw how the peo- ple’s business was mismanaged or wastefully ad- ministered. He said he had planned for some years to run for Mayor when he had accumulated money enough that he could afford to spend a few thousand dollars for an independent campaign. Most campaigns are not independent. That is why you have been fooled so often. Mr. Worley has personally paid every cent of his campaign expense. One friend replied, “Forget it, you haven’t had the publicity. While you are probably known per- sonally to at least as many citizens of the city as any of theother Gandidates, your name has never been advertised. People vote for a widely heralded name, not for the man behind it. Generally, they rarely know him.” Mr. Worley answered, “I believe there are enough intelligent people in Seattle to pick out their own man if they are given a chance to pick a good one.” Firm in this faith, when he finally decided to enter the race, he ignored politicians and their in- struments and methods, and went directly to the people. He told them about the workings of their own government and that of other cities, pointed out how its operation could be strengthened, improved and cheapened under the present system. His plans, which he has outlined for the people, for changing the city charter, are in many ways better than any others offered, but he has not cam- paigned on a change in the city charter. He has told how the city ought to be run under the present charter. For under this charter, it must be run by whoever is elected Mayor. It is a poor workman who knows nothing but to complain of his tools. To do this is all that two candidates for Mayor have learned from their em- ployment by the city. Honestly, though, a political candidate is afraid to attack existing evils. By changing the charter, he hopes to wipe the slate clean and begin at cre- tion’s dawn.

Worley he is would fail if he were given a chance The First Day as well as The Last. Mr. Worley is no orator, but in a humorous, intimate conversational manner, he has told the peo- ple that he would let out two hundred city hall em- ployes, because there were that much too many, and the city hall crowd knew it; that he would raise the pay of some of those left in order to get better work, and reorganize the departments so as to save at least $300,000.00 in salaries alone, and a great deal more in operating expenses. This sounds queer from a candidate. It looks as if he expected the people to elect him because they agree with him, and that he isn’t worried about the political activities of the two hundred super- fluities on the city payroll. He says: “Stop this waste. It will pay interest at 5 per cent on $6,000,000.00, so without increasing , your taxes, you can have $6,000,000.00 more to develop send a card ington gravely announces the !m-| summit ay, N.

If you want to spend it for salaries, you can get a great many more workmen to do something useful for the city.” He has told the people that the moral question is no“bugaboo to him. He doesn’t need anybody’s endorsement. Nobody can find any flaws in his personal life. Other speakers are making the cafes a bogie man. Mr. Worley says: “I will close certain notorious cafes the day I take office. They can be closed because they are now open in viola- tion of law, not in accord with it. I don’t need any new ordinances. I will be able to do it because I will be at the head of the police department, as the charter says the Mayor should be. I can succeed with the police and fire depart- ments, as | have with the thousands of men who have worked on contracts with me, by knowing them, by making them welcome when they come to me and by giving them heads whom they feel are the best men in their own ranks. Finally, by tolerating noth- ing but satisfactory work.” Mr. Worley has built railroads with the North- ern Pacific, the Milwaukee, the Alaska Central; has done harbor improvement work in Duluth, Minne- sota, for the government; framed practically all the first ordinances of the Building Code in St. Paul; was City Engineer of Great Falls, Montana; has been associated with engineer- ing work for the City of Seattle for the past eighteen years, and contracted and built the Interbay section of the North Trunk Sewer. He has the training and experience to be at the head of any department under the Mayor except the Health Department, so that he can make a success of them. Mr. Worley is fifty-one years of age and was married to Miss Julia L. Knight thirty years ago. They have no children. He is a native of St. Paul. His family have been in the country for several hundred years, and he is a descendant of Cecil Cal- vert, founder of Maryland. He is a most democratic and approachable man and plans to have the door open to everyboly in gen- eral and NOBODY IN PARTICULAR if elected. The success of his campaign, he measures by the number of people discussing him and his plans, and not by paid or political publicity. ——— j | i
