This leaves three main contenders: Day, Nettleton and Cotterill. politician out after a job.’ In this race he is supported by Commissioner Lincoln, the present minority member of the port board. As minority member, Lincoln has little or no voice in patronage questions, and he is eager to get into the seat of power; with Day elected he could rule. Nettleton, a man of excellent business attainments, is the candidate of the present majority regime at the port. He is the candidate that Tom Murphine, attorney for the port, is backing. The talk about “Murphine for Landon” is simply camouflage to If Landon is elected, Murphine will have noth- Kean, real Day is a typical ing more to say about city hall affairs than any other citizen. It is the port offices that he is counting upon. tool in this regard. Nettleton, an otherwise good candidate, is being made his Cotterill is excellently equipped, thru his civil engineering experience, his experience as assistant city engineer, as mayor and as a state senator and thru an intensive study he has made in this country and abroad of the world’s great ports, to handle the Port of Seattle business efficiently. He is a deep believer in the public port idea, 100 per cent honest, and entirely independent and untrammeled. The Star recommends a vote for him for commissioner. Where Will the “Meier Vote” Go? More than 15,900 Seattle citizens cast their ballots for Walter F. Meier for mayor in the primary. Politicians have been greatly concerned during the last 10 days as to just where those votes shall go in the final election. No sooner was it apparent on the night of the primary count that Brown was to in the Meier camp made a course, went a few big business % men who had son special, selfish £ Interest to serve at the city hall. ‘They were “tipped off” Brown was “their man” and that Landon tn power their plight be sad so far as putting went over with ‘aturally, other business pPreaae them; business other humans, are that ningham and Landy support. And there were others who re- fused to join the grand rush. ‘The Star believes that some of the business men who did sfam pede will, on sober second thought, make up their minds to cast their votes in the final for Landon. In fact, something of a counter-stampede is already In progress. Moreover, there were some oth- er thousands of good Seatth folks, not business men, who did vote for Meier in the primary who have been neither stamped fng nor talking loudly since the primary. They are senttered about the city, and in their hones they are thinking things out calmly for themselves. Not many of them will pull down a Brown lever on the May 2 voting ma- chines.
