The Star hopes, when the votes of the people are counted toni; sults will show Seattle is done with “slush fund” candidates ond trol, and is determined to have a cleanup in the city hall. Believing this is the case, The Star has urged, and still urges, voters to go to the polls today and cast their ballots for: Dan Landon, he-man, fearless and honest, for mayor. Mrs. Henry Landes, the candidate of womanh id. for city council. F. D. Hayden, trained transportation engineer, for the council. All The Star wants is good government, on the square—for everybody. With Dan Landon mayor and Mrs. Landes and F. D. Hayden in the coun- cil for two years, The Star feels that Seattle may sit comfortably assured of clean, careful, competent administration. But you can’t vote at the final election for candidates who are not nomi- nated. So let the count show tonight that you have nominated these three: Landon, Landes, Hayden. ht, the re- gang con- | soldier bonus bill at this ses- ‘sion of congress.
