Federict told police that he was entering his home and had consider: | able cash on his person when two! men who wore white handkerchief | masks in which eye holes had been | cut stepped from some bushes and| leveled revolvers at his head. In response to & command to hold up his hands, Federici struck at one of the pistols. He was instantly felled by a blow from the other ban- dit’s revolver.

LORD IS OUT FOR LANDON Editor The Star; I want to say a few words In be. half of Dan Landon for mayor of our city. I am supporting Landon be cause he is an honest, upright man, | one who is not afraid to stand on his| own ground, a man who has always stood for that which ts just and right. | While I was working In behalf of the eight-hour day for women, Sena-| tor Dan Landon was always on the! job, working and voting for that hu mane measure. It was always a} pleasure to 0 to him for assistance, | and every working girl in the city of | Seattle should reward Dan Landon | by gotng to the polls and voting for! him Tuesday. How the Lobbyists Figure Dr. Brown Every extreme labor-hater in Seattle is openly backing Dr. E. J. Brown for mayor. Such clever legislative lobbyists as Jay Thomas, George Stev- enson and George Russell are working tooth and toenail for Brown, This does not mean, necessarily, that Dr. Brown is a labor-hater. It does not mean, neces- sarily, that he can be relied upon to do all the special interest favors that these forces backing him might wish. It DOES mean, however, that these lobbyists and manipulators KNOW, from experience of 12 years in the legislature, that Dan Landon cannot bought, cannot be swayed from acting inde- pendently, fearlessly and intelligently in the in- terests of the whole people. They KNOW that. They are willing to take a chance on Dr, Brown. The voters of Seattle ought to be as smart as these lobbyists. They ought to know where their trust can safely be placed. They cannot afford to chance a Brown regime. SHORT FOR LANDON fended, should rally to his support.
