By remaining in the race, |they are only tending to divide and thus weaken ithe voters who want decency and a square deal, land nothing more. | The tragedy of most every Seattle election is ithe vast number of wasted votes—votes thrown away, so far as the welfare of Seattle is concerned, because they are cast for forlorn-hope candidates. Don’t waste your vote tomorrow. Cast it for Ole Hanson, who will be Mayor for ALL Seat- tle; for a united and a greater Seattle. Don’t be |misled by any of the false tales you hear. The Star is not afraid of Ole Hanson because certain other | papers are supporting him. The Star knows him, and for 15 years has know n him to be right. When he is in the May- lor’s chair he will be his own boss. He will be un- der no obligations, except to be Mayor of and for ALL Seattle.
