But first I want to let you in on the secret. He will win. He cannot be beaten. Why, with The Star’s support, he will go over BIG—BIG—BIG. Wonderful thing tor the city, too!” We again demanded the marvel candidate’s name. But, the hot-shot politician who faced us continued his harangue. Said he: “This man has the support of — a name some politicians conjure with. “He'll come out on a platform for absolute prohibition. He'll announce he is going to jail every single boot- legger in the city. He'll fight the telephone company and make them reduce rates. He'll cut the carfares to five cents and maybe lower than that. He'll fight the gas company and all the rest. He'll make a big hit everywhere. He'll get the votes of the women. He'll" After the man had left, we remembered that he had not told us the name of this phenom candidate. But, no matter. We knew it anyway. This cure-all candi- date’s name is BUNK! Just plain, every-day B-U-N-K! That's the name of every candidate who promises all these things simply to get the votes. Folks, we don’t want BUNK for mayor of Seattle —this year. We want a man who is HONEST, who is ABLE, who is FEARL who is PROGRESSIVE! And the man won't promise to do a lot of things that all of us who stop to think for a minute know he cannot do and prob- ably doesn’t intend to try. Honesty is the very first requisite of all. The candidate who springs a milk and honey platform filled with luscious pledges is a liar and a faker at the very outset, and we want none of him. A candidate who honestly pledges himself to do the things that are impossible doesn’t know enough to be mayor of Seattle. Let this be a gentle hint to all candidates who may seek your votes. Judge them carefully but VOTE AG AINST MR. BU NK! He won't do.
