He added, however, that the public state of mind is not such now that American interference would be welcomed All Berlin newspapers publish- ed excerpts from Lloyd-George's speech, but were rather cautious in Mrawing conclusions in their ed. itorials. Most of the editorials j demed to indicate that Germany does not find much hope for peace discussions in the British premter’s statement. COUNCILMANIC FILINGS FRIDAY the political high.

We frankly want you to get mad—fighting mad. We were talking to a leading politician today. He said you were a “poor mutt.” He called you a “plain boob.” He said the nonpartisanship campaign wouldn’t be suc- cessful because it has to depend on mutts and boobs like YOU, average citizens, who don’t take any steady interest in politics. All the professional politicians were, of course, against it. and would We called up Nonpartisan headquarters you believe it? That politician had the “‘dope’’ on you, we fear. The nonpartisan bill needs 40,000 signatures. Thus far, there are only 20,000 filed at the headquarters, 3107 Arcade building. And the time limit is up Saturday night! up, and 20,000 signatures more needed! Great Heavens! Can't you hear the chortles of glee from every political burglar in this state when he learns that nonpartisanship has failed? Can’t you see the smirk of satisfaction on the face of every “handpicker,”’ ward heeler, boodler, and hanger-on to the public crib? Doesn’t that make you mad enough to take out a petition and get it signed up—and then take out another, and an- other, until when Saturday night comes, the required num- ber of signatures will be obtained? Come, now, let us “boobs” and “mutts” pull together! Seattle must furnish 10,000 of the 20,000 signatures needed, or nonpartisanship fails. Let us fool the professional politicians this time.
