AE ERE! OS ON OL OL ANDO P ESN RI rok ee ON THE ISSUE OF AMERICANISM THERE CAN BE NO COMPROMISE GEATILE KNOWS THE ISSUE between Maj. Hugh M. Caldwell and James A. Duncan in the mayoralty contest. Stripped of all camouflage, it is | the issue of orderly government against anarchistic aspirations. It is not necessary to prove that James A. Duncan personally refused to raise the; 1S American flag on the Labor Temple. At heart Seattle KNOWS that the red flag of revolution is deeper grounded in men of the Duncan type ANY national flag. Argue as much as Duncan and his political cabinet will, the fact remains that their war patriotism was limited to the minimum which would keep them out of prison. It is idle to argue about the effect of Duncan’s election with all that it would mean in the way of strife, turmoil, industrial upheaval, unemployment, and the like. If Seattle does not know these things; if she does not feel them at heart, then, indeed, is she to be pitied. It is common sense to vote tomorrow for Hugh M. Caldwell—and by the same token, vote for Philip Tindall for the three-year term for the council, for John E. Carroll for the one-year term, and for Al T. Drake for the two-year term. Vote also for the Spokane st. bridge bonds—VOTE FOR SAFETY FIRST.

Per Year, by Mall, #5 to § VOLUME 22. NO. 314. SEATTLE, WASH., MONDAY, MARCH 1, 1920. TWO CENTS IN SEATTLE Usually you know nothing about men you elect to office until it is too late. _ We have no testing school; no brain stretching machine to discover what sort of works are | within the heads of these eager candidates; we mostly take them on faith and are seldom agree ) ably disappointed. That’s what’s the matter with politics; no discrimination between the fit and the unfit; with the blatant self seeker too frequently getting the office by his good glad hand, ane glib gift of gab. Butput a man up against sudden death and see if he flinches; give him authority over 1,000 and see if he is just, efficient, considerate, human. A man can really be tested then. One man in a tho makes a good army officer; one officer in a thousand is efficient, and loved by his men as well. 4 _~ Lieutenant Phil Tindall qualifies. His men, hundreds of them, who served with him and under him in France; bear witness to his sense of justice; to his willingness to listen to the complaint of the most peevish buck priv _ to his courage, and his love of hard work, and-his many acts of quiet kindness... Lieut. Tindall stood the le test a man may undergo, and he assayed 100 per cent pure man; WHITE CLEAR THRU; his men are unanim _omthat score, and there are few returning officers who will secure the unanimous praise of their men. Justice, courage, efficiency, humane kindliness—these qualities Lieut. Tindall showed in France, showed every. day, as a matter of course, without thought of ever securing any benefit, JUST BECAUSE HE HAPPENED TO 'BE THAT SORT OF A MAN. : +» One of Tindall’s non coms, in a letter to The Star, said: “Lieut. Tindall is too white a man for the council.” —_. As city councils go, that’s probably right, but if this country could elect Tindalls, proven men of courage and honesty and efficiency and kindliness, pub= ' lic office would be a glory to the commonwealth, instead of the stricken thing it too often is. Seattle owes it to itself to elect Tindall. He stepped front and center when Seattle wanted men to shoulder a deadly burden. | Did Seattle mean what it said when it told the men who marched away to risk their lives that “nothing would be too good for them” when they finish 3 their jobs? Or is Seattle a city of ingrates, a city of insincere, wretched people? Lieut. Tindall presents an open and shut case, A COLD, FINAL TEST. He is his own man, and he is ALL ; a valiant soldier, a humane officer, a capable lawyer, an honest citizen. _ It should be a distinct pleasure to vote for Tindall. He merits it--and Seattle deserves to have him in the council. POLLS OPEN AT ‘CHINATOWN FEARS NEW (Pedestrians | VSAM.
