There should be a law compelling men like you to run for Mayor of their city the second time, so that the nation could be ad vised about their political standing in their home city, where they are known. Sir, [ met you at Theatre one evening in 19 - our army being recruited . service ‘on the Mexican border - were supporting Mr. Hughes, the Fe = a publican candidate for President, and .

In a few days you went East, and it was announced that you be- come a member of the Bull Moose ad visory committee to the Democratic national committee. You did splendid work for the Democratic national ticket in 1916. Sir, it was because of this service | that I, as a Democrat, offered you| my services and support as 4 non. partisan Mayor in the spring of 1918. | You will remember that Mr. D Burgess called on you and | an appointment for you to call at my ottice, You did not know what | wanted to consult you about until) you did call. When you called, we went over the question of a Mayor who would clean Seattle the terrible national stigma that had been placed upon it At first you said you could not run - and asked me to file, and offered me your support, stating that you be lieved I could be elected—that it was acinch. I told you I would not, and explained that I could not leave my practice, ag I had to have my incom to meet my obligations, and after taking the matter under advisement for a week, you decided to be didate, and that I your candidacy in my articles pub jished in The Union Record and The Star.

Sir, allow me to remind you of the day I introduced you to Mr. D. Bur gess in my office, I said to Mr. Burgess that I believed that you would make good, because you were were. You then said “I never be. trayed a friend in my life; I never made a pledge that I did not fulfill; I never passed a man who was stuck | in the road that I did not stop and help him out. All my life I have| tried to benefit others.” Again, about three days before your election, you came into my pri vate office and in the presence of both of my secretaries, Miss Shosky ang Mr. Burgess, you said>“Well, Dr. | Brown, you have made the Mayor. you are the only man who is sup- porting me with votes.” I said “I don’t think I have made the Mayor, Ole, but I have worked hard and am tired, and whether you are elected or not, let's go away for a couple of{ days’ rest after election. Let's go up| to Scenic Hot Springs; I want to talk over some appointments with you.” You were standing at my right. You put your index finger on my desk and said; “Let's go to Spokane—but Dr. Brown, we don't need to leave town to talk about appointments.

You'll fully realize it then. Leather is scarcer and higher than ever before, and still advancing. Labor is higher than ever before. Manufac- turers are unable to'get anywhere near enough materi- als to fill present orders, and will accept none for future. They are unable to deliver Shoes for Fall at the prices contracted and have notified dealers that they are oblig- ed to add a dollar or more to those prices. The reason? Europe is destitute of leather and the skins from ? which to make it. They are buying every foot of leather in this country they can get their hands on at prices never heard of be- fore. There'll be no relief for another year or two, for skins are not woven—they grow—and that takes time. NOW THEN— If you’ll look this situation squarely in the face and take full advantage of the opportunity to SAVE on GOOD SHOES while I’m SELLING OFF the greater part of the big stock, you'll be many a dollar ahead. i Make Your Exchanges Before 11 A.
