I have stated repeatedly before several audiences in the presence of Mr. Tripple that Mr. Tripple and Senator Palmer worked hand-in-glove | with the Mart machine tn the last session, When the poll tax bill was before {the house for discussion, Mr. Tripple ed an amendment (see house jour | nal, page 637) to substitute the words | jand figures “60" for “60;" so that all | | persons in the state between 21 and 60 years would be obliged to pay a poll tax of $6 annually. His amend ment was lost, and he then voted against the bill. If he had had his way everybody between 21 and 60 would be paying the poll tax. Mr. Tripple admits that he changed his vote from “nay” to “yea” on the administrative code bill on the sen. ate amendments, If he had been loy- ally fighting the bill aa he contends he should never have agreed to the senate’s amendments which were equally as bad as the bill itself.

Ross in his open letter in last Saturday's issue of The Star clearly stated the issues and every voter who goes to the pri- maries next Tuesday before casting a ballot for members of the legisla ture should ascertain whether or not the candidate is for or against such a law as Superintendent Ross mands of the legislature for the velopment of the municipal utilities. King county cannot afford to send any man or woman to the legislature who ts antagonistic to the municipal utilities of Seattle and I hope that anyone as to his acts and actions in the legislature. In this, at least, he is to be commended, ‘The principp! issues Before the next legislature Will be: First, an attempt to get a law thru giving the City of Seattle, after it completes the Skagit power plant, the right to sell its sur- plus electrical power outside of the corporate linits of Seattle unham- pered by the state board of public works; and, second, to cut out less and wasteful appropriations de- manded by the Hart machine, In my opinion any member of the which seeks to turn over to the state board of public works the manage ment and control of the municipal railway and the elty light plant and other municipal utilities. This bill has since been referred to the people and in the November election wil! be unmereifully beaten, in my opin- jon. If this law te not defeated at the polls In November ft will be farewoll to a fivecent car fare in Seattle when the state board of public works assumes control. Mr. Tripple also neglected to tell the people while reviewing his rec: he voted for the outrageous and ex. travagant appropriations for the Hart political machine. He also neglects to tell the people that he voted for House Bill No. 174, the obnoxious and outrageous law from all the good men and women who have filed for tho legislature that the voters will take time to as- certain the records on this tssue of those who served in the last legisla. ture and give us @ delegation from last session of the legislature who voted for the “certificate of neces- sity” bill is unfit to be sent to the legislature to aswist the city In tts fight against the Interests who are opposing its led legislation, ord that his son is chief clerk of the state highway engincer’s office, one of the principal cogs of the Hart po- Hitleal machine. Senator Palmer has always been consistent. He doesn't try to deceive .| politicians are dead but they won't King County who will work for the interests of Seattle and King county rather than the glory of being a part of the Hart political machine. If Mr, Whipple or any other can- didate for legislative honors consid. ers this an unjust attack they should remember the old saying: “Some chosen president of the le down.” Sincerely yours, WILLIAM A| GILMORE.
