That tells the story of the primary election ‘yesterday. They saw thru his George M. Cohan antics. They saw thru his schemes to advertise a sham patriotism in or- der to cover up a rotten councilmanic record. He tried to fool the people, but they fooled him. They calmly looked over the three candidates who were asking re-elec- tion. They knew Erickson and Hes- keth were loyal to the general public. They knew Dale was in the council to serve the Puget Sound Traction Co. And quietly, without fuss or frills, they gave twice as many votes to Erickson and Hesketh as to the trac- tion company’s bell boy. On top of that, they gave Dale an extra dig by reducing him to fourth place and ele- vating a new aspirant, W. D. Lane, to third position. The man Dale fooled most was C. Allen Dale. vA stag ROSIE.
