SEATTLE, WASH., VOLUME | | | | | | Under the new charter you, Mr. and Mrs. Voter, will be tilowed to cast your ballot for only one of the 30 Hinky Dinks and for adummy mayor. Now your vote counts in the govern- ment of the whole city. Under our present charter you vote for all councilmen and for a real mayor. If the interests can yt over the new charter you will lose nine-tenths of your say in municipal affairs. You won’t even get a chance to vote for the city manager, who will be the real boss. The Hinky Dinks will select him, just as our Hinky Dink legislators used to select U.S. senators. nd in those days did a man like Poindexter or Ole Hanson er stand a chance of being U. S.senator? Never. Senatorial! candidates then were invariably special privilege millionaires. _ The charter commissioners didn’t think it wise to allow the people to select their own municipal manager. They fol- pwed the grand old standpat theory that the people are unfit to telect their own public officials. In every possible way they limited the people of Seattle. They went as far as they dared in. Tobbing the people of the power which they have been fight- $ years to obtain. |__The new charter is full of jokers. It is a joker itself.
