Despite partisan criticism and antagonism by ‘members of the minority party, the diplomacy of President Wilson is rapidly bringing the enemies of humanity to terms and any minute now may bring | the welcome news that the last one has uncondition- ally surrendered. Allied nations have been content to leave all diplomatic questions involved to Presi- dent Wilson, and no criticism has been directed by them toward him in consequence of his acts or enun- ciations. It has remained for Roosevelt, Lodge and Poindexter to do that! Even going so far as to de- mand his impeachment and calling his masterly logic a “mischievious note.” It is a sad commentary on the Americanism of these men, but the partisan we will always have with us, and he will sing his little song, regardless of its consequences. But it is a certainty that the American people will pay no attention to this partisan wail of despair, but will sustain the president by electing men known to be in sympathy with him, even going on down the line on the whole Democratic ticket. It is particu- larly important that progressive congressional and legislative tickets be successful this election, for there will be much for them to accomplish in the re- construction period that may be successfully done only along progressive lines. Every man and woman in full sympathy with President Wilson and his poli- cies should not overlook this opportunity to make known their position and to vote their convictions, |, eee . Statements of Mullane and Nelsen We pledge ourselves to the following program and promise to about the following reforms: First: We pledge ourselves to give the fullest support to President Wil- son in the conduct of the war, and to aid in carrying out his reconstruction policies. We favor public ownership of all public utilities, and the exten- sion of every possible public service now enjoyed by the people of Seattle to the rural districts. Second: Partisan politics will be eliminated from county affairs and employment by the county will be predicated upon fitness and ability to do the work required. Third: We pledge ourselves to pay equal wages for. equal work, re- gardless of the question of sex. Fourth: The Port of Seattle will have our fullest support in main- aining and developing its projects. bring Fifth: To improve the Ferry system and transportation facilities of the county in order to lessen the cost of farm products to the consumer, and to encourage the development of all available lands in the county. Sixth: To provide an open forum and rest room for Woman's Civic Organizations of the city of Seattle and the county of King and utilize the buildings on the county property north of Ballard for a woman’s detention home. Seventh: To move the county poor farm from the insanitary almshouse at Georgetown to the Willows, for which purpose this farm was purchased. To make the county farm the headquarters of the County Agriculturist and conduct experiment work there for the benefit of our farmers, thus mak- ing the farm an asset instead of a liability to the county, Eighth: Every department of county government will be made respon- sive to the county commissioners and no opportunity will be allowed for the recurrence of scandals such as have occurred in the charity commis- sioner’s and the game warden’s office and in road building contracts. Ninth: We will work (as members of the Equalization Board) for a just and equal valuation of all property in King County. This service‘alone should appeal to every taxpayer who has felt the oppression of the unequal system, which has placed the burden on the little fellow in the past. Tenth: The employment of an efficiency expert by the county commis- sioners for the past six months at a salary of $500 per month, at the demand of a citizens’ committee headed by Mr. John H. Powell, is a confession of mismanagement by the present board of county commissioners. JOHN E, MULLANE, Democratic Candidae for Commissioner, Third District.

WHY ALL VOTERS SHOULD VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET An attempt, partially successful, has been made by the minority party to inject the rankest kind of partisanship into the present campaign. This has been done regardicss of the urgent request of President Wilson that polities be adjourned and all issues be left.to the unprejudiced minds of the people, No sooner had he made that request, however, than in the United States senate minority party leaders began the most bitter partisan attack that has been made in recent years, with former President Roosevelt leading the vanguard and closely followed by Henry Cabot Lodge, Miles Poindexter and others, This tirade they have kept up unceasingly until finally the president was forced to make a direct appeal to the people in order that thelr minds might not be confused, and the real issues completely obscured, by a conjuring of words worthy only of political jugglers of the most partisan type and who are doing so without regard to the conse quences to the nation and the world, The delicate situation involved in our diplomacy did not concern them. That the president might be forced, through their » from his position of world leader caused them no worry. They MUST CONTROL CONGR AKDLESS, Why?

THE SPIRIT OF THE WILSON ADMINISTRATION TOWARD LABOR By SAMUEL GOMPERS, President of the American Federation of Labor. the United States congresses during two score .years I have not seen anything like the fine spirit toward labor, toward the rights and welfare of all the people, pervading all the branches of the Wilson administration. been recognized neither in the spirit of deference on the one hand, nor of patronage “But the spirit of recognition has been the right one: that labor should be made part of the National Councils; that its patriotism \should be conceded, knowledge of its own needs should give it paramount voice in legislation directly and “This fundamental right spirit has guided the Wilson administration to wise and Because of that spirit and its results in definite laws and policies, how can liberty-loving Americans loyal to the Republic and its ideals, fail to sus- tain an executive who has done so much for their realization?” Labor has and that its DEMOCRATIC COUNTY AND LEGISLATIVE TICKET rehip of all Public Uti!
