Seattle’s Stockholders _ Seeking New Directors We All Have a Stake in the City, and Must Pick Our: Chiefs BY J. R. JUSTICE If you were one of tne stockhold- ers in one of the biggest corpora. tions in the state, what sort of di- retcors would you want for that con- cern? If the policies of that cor poration vitally affected your daily life, would you, or would you not, manifest any interest In tho seleo- " tion of those directors? Woll, that's who you are and that “Ys what you are up against, You are a shareholder in the corporation " of the ctly of Seattle, Beginning © with the 28th day of this month, it wilh be open season for candidates for the city ceuncil and for the other city offices, Tho mombers of the council are the directors of the corporation, while the mayor is the president. These officers will be selected within the next 30 days; not at elec tion day, as most of us think, For ‘out of the three or four who file for mayor and out of the five or six Who file for the council will come one mayor and four councilmen on election day. The matter of mayoralty candi. dates has been pretty well threshed out, And while there is nothing certain until it comes to pass, it is pretty well understood that the first _ candidate who will file for mayor will be Edwitt J. Brown, tho I saw a wise political man trying to bet a hat the other day that the mayor ‘Would not file at all, Then there will be Oliver T. Erick- “fon, who, like Br'er Rabbit, "keeps on sayin’ nothin'"| And when he ‘Wants to be silent he can be it in a Most noiseless manner.

Campbell and H.C, Pigott, To these may bo added Ralph D. Nichols, who today comes strongly recommended by a man greatly In terested in elty affairs, and Walter B, Beals, The latter has been pro- sented by a man from West Seattle, who says that Beals is the man for West Seattle to run, He is not only well known over that side, but also would carry a largo vote thruout the city, according to his sponsor, No doubt there will be others on their OWN Or some ono else's account, com. ing out, Now what you can do, If you know any of these men, who in your opin: fon would make good councilmen, is to go right after them and urge them torun, ‘This is your corporation and | it Is up to you to select the men who will be the president and direc tors, Beginning tomorrow I shall seo as many of these men as I can, and find out what they think of life in a great city, and also how they feel about running MEXICO STOPS | WAR FOR FETE Rebellion Ceases While | Crowds Enjoy Christmas BY FREDERICK G.

There ought to be two good, big men to take their places. And I find a good many who think some new material would fit nto the places of Carroll and Cohen, Who, it ‘s understood, will be can-| didates to succeed themselves, Be} that as it may, there will be four councilmen to elect.
