Seattle will be with you even d stronger, two years from now IF YOU PROVE YOURSELF WORTHY No man| ~ “ever had a greater opportunity. No man ever had more at stake The Star knows you realize these facts. We can understand in a small way what y this chance to redeem yourself means to you. We don't know as you do one who d Shas not felt the bitter sting of disgrace, the shock of defeat, can fully appreciate the s joy of a just victory. ji Now, Hiram C. Gill, you are on your way back up the ladder. .You haven't come back, but you are coming. Your come-back journey is two years long. The Star be- lieves sincerely that you will finish the journey. This paper believes these past few bit- ter years have made you a man, bigger, broader, more just, more competent, and above all, more human. The Star doesn’t doubt you. A. majority ‘of the pec perhaps. don't doubt you, but a lot of them do. KEEP THIS FACT IN MIND, BUT DON’T LET IT FOOL YOU OR MAKE YOU TIMID. BE SQUARE! HIT HARD WHEN YOU HIT!

Be that as it may, I owe you a debt of gratitude which IT hope) oo sinen to repay by an administration of the affairs of this city which will be above your criticism.
