Pupitened Delty by The Mar Publishing Oe, George F. Cotterill It is the opinion of The Star that George F. Cotterill is, all things considered, the candidate for port commissioner most entitled to elec- tion next Tuesday. In the first place, Mr. Cotterill is an unquestioned believer in the public port idea. He has been one from the time the question first be- gan interesting people of this community. With him as a member of the board the public would feel confident that no plan to lease the resent terminals to a private concern, as was done with the county erries, or to jeopardize the people’s interests when the harbor area leases expire, could be slipped over. Mr. Cotterill is honest—100 per cent honest. ere He is ably equipped to give valuable service to the port. He has lived here for 37 years. As a member of the state senate for two years he gained an insight into the legal background of the harbor area situ- ation, the port commission legislation and affiliated questions. As assistant city engineer for an eight-year period and later as state highway engineer, he acquired an understanding probably ‘surpassing that of any other man, into Seattle's topography, its public works, its streets, its transportation problems and its shipping needs. As mayor of Seattle he broadened this knowledge. He has made 10 trips abroad in the last 25 years and studied the ports of European countries and our own Atlantic seaboard. ‘ Mr. Cotterill is one of only two candidates who received commenda- tory mention in the Municipal League report. It said: “Your committee believes that, altho there are certain limitations to Mr. Cotterill’s ability as an executive, he is well qualified by training and experience to manage the physical equipment of the port.” The Star submits that whatever limitations there may be on Mr. Cotterill’s executive ability, as might have been disclosed, for instance, when he was mayor, it would not operate to any great disadvantage when he serves as a member of a commission of three men. There his constructive ability would have full scope and the collective force of the whole board would keep the executive influence unimpaired. . om A political organization of ex-service men has raised an objection to Mr. Cotterill over some incidents that occurred ten years ago when he Was mayor. One of these was a red flag parade on Second avenue and the other the staging of a radical play which he, as mayor, permitted, ‘tho, of course, did not join in or personally approve. The truth about ‘these affairs is that they were engineered by an editorial enemy of _ Mr. Cotterill, now dead, who wished to put him “in a hole” because of _ political animosity growing out of a bitter open-closed town campaign which Mr. Cotterill, as the closed town advocate, had just emerged triumphant. Nobody who knows him can seriously question Mr. Cot- terill’s genuine Americanism or patriotism. The Star recommends a vote for Mr. Cotterill for port commissioner; or, as a second choice, one for Clark Nettleton. There are six nominees for the city council, three of whom are to be elected Tues- day. Here is the list: Mrs. Henry Landes, T. Harry Bolton, Mrs. Katherine Miracle, __£. F. Blaine, E. B. Cox and W. H. Moore. First and foremost, Mrs. Landes. The Star in the beginning endorsed her can- _ didacy, feeling that it represented an element in Seattle life that no other candidate _ did or could represent. Her record vote in the Primary was proof of the high estimate in which she is held by the city generally. But a race is won at the finish line, election at the polls. Do not fail to vote next Tuesday for Mrs. Landes. Of the other five candidates, two, Blaine and Cox, are handicapped by the confes- sion that they are the hand = ————————— Picked ticket of the Advisory Committee and for that reason, “despite their good standing as business men, will be disregarded by the great mass of independent ‘voters. William Hickman Moore Is the only incumbent up for re-election and, contrary to the usual rule, is finding the fact a detriment.

There remains for consideration Bolton and Mrs. Miracle. Both of these candidates are receiving the enthusiastic support of a large group of labor leaders. Organized Tabor has not endorsed them or anybody else, as Tire Star under. stands it, on the theory that class ference would be one of “a po Libert litieal character.” “ with all its drawbacks, ts everywhere vastly more attract« tue to a noble soul than good aoclah without it.
