TWO CENTS IN SEATTLE _ FITZGERALD Candidate for ALL the People GAIN Seattle finds itself fi to face with the question of class rule.

See ede ail oehene a again, emphaiti we hope it be final, Seattle people by their votes must de- Once clare against class dictatorship. / That is the only issue of the city election. It is not a question of personalities. It is not a question of one man as t another. The agains question is fundamental. It is whether this city shall be governed by a factional mayor and a pre council pal papal it shall be gov- erned by a mayor a council responsible to ALL the people. On the one hand we have the factional can- didate for mayor, tho he represen! all of his so-called class. Plainly, the right think- ing part of labor is not being led again into this needless ts not even class warfare. The Same faction, too, is persisting in putting its brand upon certain’ council candidates. On the other hand, Mayor C. B. Fitzgerald has been for six years a tative of all the people of Seattle, both as a councilman and as candidacy in previous years and now represents opposition to the class rule idea a mayor. of government. He represents no special group, but all groups. Elected from Ballard to the council, his votes have come as largely from labor as from any other source. He re- election on the same basis—support from ALL the people, and offering when elected responsi- bility ple’s can to ALL the people. He is ALL the peo- didate. He accepts the challenge of the class rule faction, yet his candidacy offers that faction the same protection, the same resentation, that it offers every other class. So must the city as a whole accept the challenge of the class rule faction. There are no other issues, and on this big issue Mayor Fitzgerald is the logical candidate on whom Seattle voters must unite.
