Japism, evidently, doesn’t count any more with him. Thom and his journalistic mouthpieces apparently feel they solved the Jap question when Bridges was defeated. It is all right now to elect Lippy, they say, even if he is a Jap lover. The governor's job was one thing; it wouldn't be right to have a Japophile in that office. But the port commissioner's h, that’s different! It’s all right, say these hypocrites, to} have a Jap lover in the port commissioner's job. You see it all depends whose ox is gored. Lippy has been faithful to reactionary interests. He has played the game ith special interests. sociated Industries naturally want him on the job. They are opposed to George B. Lamping, Lippy’s oppo- nent, altho Lamping does not share Lippy’s idealization of the Japs; they are opposed to Lamping because he is inde- pendent, fearless, a champion of the right. Against the powers that be, he pushed the veterans’ bonus bill thru; he fought for progressive measures—for liberal ideas and gov- ernment, And that’s why George B.
