This is shown by the fact that one in every three cars manufactured for 1916 will be Goodyear equipped. Why Griffiths Is the Man He STAR does not believe municipal ownership should be made an issue in the present mayoralty campaign. However, granting that it is, just for the sake of argument, it would be far better for the principle involved to elect Griffiths mayor and retain Erickson in the council than to have it otherwise. In the former case, there would be a friend of public ownership in the mayor's chair, and an able leader in the council, On the other hand, if Erickson should be elected mayor, there would be a vacancy in the council. His leadership would be missed there. There is not much to be gained by moving Erickson from the presidency of the council info the mayor's office. These two offices are practically on a par so far as their value to the cause of public ownership is concerned. ‘ There is a distinct gain by putting a man of Griffiths’ proved friendship and advocacy of public Ownership and humanitarian thought in the mayor's chair, and at the same time also having the benefit of Erickson’s service.
