HE candidacy of Mrs. Henry Landes affords Seattle citi- zens an opportunity to accomplish at one stroke two de- sirable ends. First—To place in the city council a woman who would represent admirably the spirit and viewpoint of Seattle women. + Second—To place in the city council one of the brain- iest, dest informed and most capable citizens in Seattle. Mrs, Landes is of vastly higher caliber than the average material from which Seattle picks its councilmen. And of *far higher caliber than the average of those elected. In fact, The Star’ regards her as one of the best equipped sce of either sex whose services ever in our memory ave been offered the city in this capacity. : _ The Star believes she will bring, in its best form, a needed feminine element to city council deliberations, and at the same time will greatly raise the average level of intelligence and judgment in that body.

Even disregarding the sinister, big-money interests and the organized city hall politics behind his cam- paign, there is nothing in Meier’s character or person- ality to lead one to believe that he would make a fair, farsighted, capable chief executive.
