SEATTLE, WASH., TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 1914. gate geet OLIVER T. ERICKSON, the best councilman Seattle ever had, is threatened by the Hinky Dink charter. An attempt was made to knife him in the last election. You remember the typewritten secret advisory ballots sent out by the Seattle Electric Co., the inner circle of the Chamber of Commerce, the Employers’ association, and other Special Privilege abbers. Hi The attempt failed because no pussy-foot campaign can succeed where the entire body of city voters has a voice in the election. Enemies of labor and municipal ownership would have more chance to defeat Erickson under the Hinky-Dink plan, by which the city would be divided into 30 wards. Franchise-grabbing corporations would concentrate money and influence in the Erickson ward. It would be a stealthy, vilifying, lying campaign. It would again invite breeding of ward bosses and ward heelers, who would be furnished the incen- tive to colonize voters for the express purpose of defeating such men as Erickson. And you in Ballard, and in Fremont; and in the Univer-' sity district; you in Green Lake, and on Beacon Hill, who have voted for Erickson before, would not get a chance to vote for him again. And there is another very important consideration. Councilman Erickson at present devotes his entire time to city duties. He can afford to do so on the salary of $3,000 a year. He gave up his own business when he entered the council three years ago. He resigned as president of the Erickson Manufacturing Co. Under the Hinky Dink charter, councilmen will get only $300 a year.
