Mr. Day, Mr. There are two men in the race for port commissioner at this election greatly differing in their capabilities, their viewpoints and the probable value of their service to the district, who are yet alike in one particular, They are Julius G. Day and Clark Nettleton, Day is primarily a politician, He is running for this office because he wants a political job. In his candidacy he has the backing of Commissioner Lincoln, who used to be a majority member of the board but who now is the minority member. Lincoln's appointees in some cases have been displaced and he is anxious to reinstate them on the payroll. He relies on Day to help him do this, _ Seattle has no particular reason for tenderness toward Commissioner Lincoln's political plans and none for Day's. Day deserves to be beaten because he and Lin- | By mal, out of city, te month; 2 mentha £1.50; @ montha, $2. ; VES se Sinsetnn cr pote ser pean my carrier, eity, Stee mesth Pull Unitedly for C Lewi only one reason for maintaining an army in peace times.

It’s This bandit who robbed three landlords knew where to find the money. coln would make the port more of a political football than it ever has been and because he is not especially equipped to give the people of the district high-class service as a commissioner, Mr. Nettleton is a contractor, a man familiar with business transactions of magnitude, He is clean, high minded, fairly progressive. As publisher for a time of an important newspaper he did not show himself to be greatly the friend of the port nor notably in sympathy with the aspirations of the average Seattle citizen, The Star does believe, however, that, if elected, he would give the port good service. The Star is inclined to be a little more hopeful than is the Municipal league, which reported on him as follows: “While Mr. Nettleton is admittedly a business man of LETTERS ce EWU TOR s 9 Says Marconi Wasn't First FEAitor The Star: tronomy,” published in 1878 by In your issue of March 80 a@p-| Harper & Brothers, New York, you peared the following: “Tt t# Just 25 | will find an account of Prof. Loomis years since wireless telegraphy was| using wireless telegraphy by use of Giscovered by Mareont.” electrio current as ft is used now.

Mr. Nettleton is frankly, avowedly supported by the “ins” at the port properties. In other words, of one contending faction, Nettleton is just as much the candidate of the other. The Star cannot sanction any Semovige welch looks to aking the port election a ght. mit has been hel Dan Landon, candidate for Tom Murphine, the port's attorney. The Star does not know or care for whom Poll Tax I understood that the petition ask: ing for the repeal of the poll tax would be presented at our voting pre cinets and that we would all have a chance to sigh It there when we went to vote, but there was no petition at my precinct, neither was it men tioned by anyone.

Nettleton and the Port Commission Race Tom Murphine is working in this mayoralty campaign, because ‘The Star knows that, no matter for whom he is working he will not have, in case Landon is elected, any more voice at the city hall than any other citizen will have. But Murphine and other “ins” at the port are def- Nettleton, being a partisan desire to cling to their jobs, and Net- tleton is welcoming their help and thereby putting himself under obligations to them, and The Star does not regard that as a worthy attitude. Nettleton is The Star’s second, but not its first, choice for port commissioner. “ee initely fighting for Tomorrow: Cotterill. oe Petitions one can go and sign thease petitions, and who it is that is keeping these petitions hidden out, and why, I have never been able to catch even & glimpes of one of those petitions, and I certainly do want to sign. 0, B.

Editor The Star: The Public School Protective league of Washington, as an organt tation, stands oppored to @ medical doctor on the school board. This league feels that the present efforts of the health department in the pub- Me schools are more than sufficient for all practical purposes without placing a doctor on the school board. The Public Sehool Protective league was organized in Seattle tn 1919, for the purpose of protecting the public schools from medical, po- litieal, or retigioun exploitation, In this movement there ia no intention Or desire to interfere with the rights of thone who wish medical treatment outside the school, We stand on our constitutional rights when we de |clare that our public school must be | maintained inviolate, In case any of the schools of heal ing were to practice the same tactics now employed by the medical profes sion In exploiting their particular sys. tems of healing in the public schools, this league would take the same stand against any candidate of such a school of healing.
