To all Fair-Minded Voters in Seattie: In times of world-wide disturbance, tion from war to peace, the first need of patriotic Americans in polit feal action is to keep their heads cool, In the campaign for the election of Councilmen some business men of Seattle are drawing the line against all labor candidates, regardless of patriotism, character or special fit ness, on the sole ground that their candidacy has been endorsed by the Central Labor Council. Is that a wine course? Will it tend to help through the transition per- fod with a minimum of conflict? I believe it is unwise and that it tends to increase irritation and conflict, For example, Robert Proctor Js one of the three candidates en- dorsed by the Central Labor Coun- cil, of which he is president. Every voter in Seattle who knows anything about public affairs knows that Mr. Proctor is one of the most level headed, conscientious and altogether worthy men in Seattle. Nobody questions that, His war record is 100 per cent perfect. He was chos- en at different times to do import- ant war work by President Wilson, Hanson, all of which he performed most efficiently. He is a patriotic, red-blooded American in every fibre, of singularly pure character, The election of Mr. Proctor as Councilman would serve to increase the sense of responsibility of the la. bor elements in the duties of govern. ment. and would be a sobering in fluence, aside from the manifest fair. ness of giving to the labor elements their rightful share of representa tion. J have no hesitation in saying that I am going to vote for Mr. Proctor next Tuesday as one of the three candidates to be voted for, i JOHN FB, BALLAINE.
