Lamping for port com- missioner. Fred L. Seixas, advertising manager for Frank Waterhouse & Co,, dock and ship operators, came -|/out in a public letter Monday in behalf of Lippy. e a e EIXAS attended the secret Ballinger meeting Thursday— at which time the private dock owners, on the advice of counsel and severa} political manipulators, decided to drop Lamping. Naturally, only a dozen or two enterprises on the waterfront, Seixas is “absolutely” disinterested in the port election. Absolutely. He since the Waterhouse company is interested.in So much so that in his public letter he does not mention the Waterhouse company at all. merely refers to himself as “a citizen and a former soldier.” eee ne ae ey Bas be tacewr, mentors of Roosevelt Post who saw the Seixas screed, also issued a public statement. It says: “While the statements in the Setune letter are a mase of ridiculous falsehoods that we de not wish to waste any time in answering, there fe one, however, that we deaire to call to the attention of the public, as we would be untrue to our duties an veterans and former service men, who have served on foreign soil, if we were to allow it to go un- National Guard regiment formed for home service in May, 1917, the then National Guard having been inducted into the federal servies, Mr, Sexias enlisted in Conmpany ‘B,’ Third Washington. “After he had served about two months, orders were received to held ND SO, the lip patriot is for Lippy, yelling “bolshevik” at the top of his voice. The real soldiers are for Lamping. ‘ The political jackals tried their “bolshevik” trick once |too often and against the wrong fellow. EMEMBER when the vets went to war how the big em- | ployers all said they’d be glad to give them their jobs back when they returned? Many of them did. There were some who did not. And there were hundreds of ex-soldiers, just recently discharged, who walked the streets of this city penniless! They had to be fed by the Red Cross, by the Salvation Army, and by others of charitable inclinations. They were hungry and without a roof over their heads— many of them. At that time Lamping was endeavoring, against the op- position of some of the very political jackals who are now calling him “bolshevik,” to pass the soldiers’ bonus bill. And Lippy? Lippy was either “hostile or indifferent” to the employ- ment of ex-service men, it is charged in plain and definite language by Roosevelt Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars. | Resolutions passed by the post Monday night further declare that the “statement made by Thomas S. Lippy that 30 per cent of the employes of the Port Commission are service men, is UNTRUIL.” The resolutions recite that a delegation of service men called upon Lippy when “on one occasion 16 service men wére employed, but were immediately dis- charged without cause,” and that his attention was called to the State Veterans’ Preference law but that “no action was taken by him to remedy the situation.” -_* * UT HEAR SEIXAS call Millionaire Lippy the “100 per J scent American.” Hear him yell “bolshevik” at Lamp- ing!
