BIG RALLY, GOOD SPEAKERS, FREE MOVIES, AMERICAN THEATRE, SECOND AND SENECA, TUESDAY AT 12:30 P. M. N INETY per cent of the tourist travel from Chicago to the Pacific coast is lost to Seattle! Are you, as a business man, interested in bringing this travel here? THEN ATTEND THE BIG MASS MEETING AT THE AMERICAN THEATRE, SECOND AVE. AND SENECA ST., TUESDAY AT 12:30 P. M. Manager John Ham- rick says everybody may remain and see his show at the close of the meeting. Speakers will explain why the Southern Pacific railroad and allied lines control the travel West, and how. And they will tell how Seattle can help win the fight for equal rates and make millions of dollars for the Northwest. Chairman Reynolds, of the pub- lic service commission, and Mayor Gill will be among the speakers.
