(EDITORIAL) Dr. Brown failed! On Saturday The Star addressed to him some very serious questions relating to his connections, past and present, with the Seattle-San Francisco vice syndicate. The Star asked Dr. Brown to tell the public the full facts in regard to his ap- pearance during 1918 and 1919 at the city hall and at the capitol in Olympia as the paid lobbyist and advocate of “Too Ret,” negro tenderloin king. The Star inquired about the scores of cases in which Dr. Brown represented immoral women and their male parasites for pay. The Star asked about Dr. Brown's persistent war-time efforts to block the government program of vice prevention on behalf of its soldiers and sailors. The Star asked Dr. Brown if it is not a fact (which it is) that these same inter- ests—and all the professional gamblers —are today helping enthusiastically conduct his campaign. On Saturday night Dr. Brown’s pro- gram’ came to a climax in his Arena meeting. This gave him the best of op- portunities for answering these ques- tions, for stating to the people of Seat- tle exactly WHERE HE STANDS ON VICE MATTERS. And Dr. Brown failed! He talked about every municipal question on earth from dog pounds to car tokens—EX- CEPT THIS ONE. He studiously ig- nored and sidestepped this real issue. He neither explained his past record nor repudiated his present red-light sup- port. He made no reference as to his course, should he become mayor, in re- gard to women and gambling. Dr. Brown dared not talk about these subjects. He dared not turn against his present backing; he dared not tell the wholesome-minded folks of the great Se- attle residence districts the truth. Vote for Dan intelligent, Dr. Brown is unsafe. Landon—honest, clean, fearless Dan Landon. ‘These Pro positions Are to Be Voted On Seattle voters Tuesday will pass upon seven measures of far reaching importance to the city, While Proposition “A,” the so- called Erickson bill, is perhaps the most radical of the various measures, several other of the charter amendments and initla jot the city government which goes beyond {ts annual eatimate can only get money by a deficiency ordinance OPPOSED CHARTER NDMEN' | would set of all city ordinances at $100 fine tive petitions seriously affect the {ana 30 days in jail, even if this max the community, |imum penalty is not set forth in the ations of the various! ordinance itself.
