It is seriously threatened by the same interests and the same political | jackals who tried to sell it out to a gang of fly-by-night manipulators a few hex -s ago in the Ayres terminal scheme. The issue in the coming election is whether private dock owners, combining | with Jap interests, shall run the port of Seattle to their advantage or whether |it shall ie operated for the benefit of >. people as a whole. s LAST THURSDAY a meeting was held in the Arcade assembly ‘room at the | call of Richard A.

Ballinger announced the issue the port commission fight as that of the open shop against the closed shop! hasized the same point! politicians’ turn came next. “It won't do,” they declared. “If We made an open fight for the closed te we would ‘give our hand away.” rt Northrop, Fred Seixas, Charles Allen, Al Lundin, carried the point for the. politicians.

ES Hamilton Higday was port manager from 1913 to 1919. Higday’s refrain is that Lippy eliminated the tax levies from the port during the past three years. Of course that means that since Higday left the commission, things began to get better—but is Higday sincere? Only three weeks ago or so, Higday himself was about to make the race for the port com- mission—and AGAINST Lippy? What subtle force is behind Higday’s the political jackals? flop?

If there is any credit for bringing) the port to success, the years of toil and hardships and vilifications suffered by the orig-| |inal members of the commission, the late Gen. H. M.
