Lou Cohen; neither does it know | exactly why Cohen is trying to rush thru the traffic ordinance before election. The ordinance, as now drafted, would make Fuqua permanent head of a newly created traffic division. If Fuqua is an able man and entitled to the job Mr. Cohen is trying to obtain for him, why should the matter not rest untit after election? Cohen has enough trouble now without looking for more, it would seem to The Star. He is not popu- larizing himself with anybody but Fuqua in his effort to jam this thru before election. .

The ordinance has never been brought before the committeo for final consideration, but, according to council rules, can be brought out | without committee approval by a majority vote of the council.

I do not think the council should legisiate anyone into such an impor-| tant position as permanent head of} fic department of police, which} the present ordinance does,” Mrs.| Landes sold. “1 think the entire} matter should be withheld for addi-| tional study.” Mrs. Landes said she had tried to mend the present bill, providing for ® competitive examination to fill the position, but that it must be entirely re-written to accomplish this pur-| pose | ‘The ordinance was revived a week | ago, after it had been in committee jfor the past six weeks, due to pro dl r tests from the Automobile club a nizations, ‘Thos in the ‘measure's immediate consented to a delay r various or} 4 in passage este Aw }ago, on condition that the measure be brought out today Big Appeal Made Thru Magazines | App-aling to between 40,000,000 | and $0,000,000. readers, a ne | cific Northwest publi advertise | ment, entitled “Treasure,” will ap Pear in 10 national magazines soon, | as the joint enterprise of the Great | Northern, Burlington and Northern | Pacific railw It is the 16th of | fa Series devoted to exploiting this | section o country, according to eat Bandits in New York Sen- |.

Why EDITOR'S NOTE—Saturday The Star expressed its choice of council. manic candidates at the city election as follows; For three-year term— Ralph D. Nicholx, William Hickman Moore and John E. Carroll. For two-year term—Willlam 'T, Campbell, It did so after a thoro investi- gation of these men, particularly as to their stand en public owner- ship, because The Star is familiar with the fight private power inter- ests are making in this election to defeat public ownership candidates, especially Ralph Nichols. Today J. K. Justice, who, as an independent writer, has contributed to The Star for the past several months, in the interests of good government, Indorses whole-heartedly The Star's choice and in the accompanying article tells why. BY J. R. JUSTICE ‘T careful consideration, I am confident that The Star has picked the best four candidates for city councilmen. Of course, you will be able to find something about each one of them that you do not like. But it is safe to say they are the best in sight. And most of them are better than a fair average. Take Ralph D. Nichols. You will find men and in- terests that see red at the mention of his name. But in most. cases there is a personal or private interest back of it. There is no question about his ability or his honesty. And he is a good fighter when there is anything being put over that he thinks ought not to get by. He is a graduate of our university. He was captain of the football team back in 1892 to 1896. Any of the old boys who played with his team will tell you that he was a winner, After he was graduated he took up the practice of law in Seattle. Later he served as state senator from the Rainier Valley district for 11 years. His record at Olympia was a good one. Always on the progressive side of things, he never failed te give a good account of himself in the many fierce battles fought out over there. And today certain large private interests that he helped to defeat in the legislature are out to get his scalp in this fight. He stands for a clean city government. And his interest in our municipally-owned utilities is unques- tioned. At present he is secretary of the Washington Superpower league, which is fighting to give the people control of the water power of the state. William Hickman Moore Established Clean Record as Public Official William Hickman Moore should need no introduction to the people of Seattle. Back in the days when the city was more than a wide open town, Billy Moore was elected mayor, and he soon had things on a sane and safe basis. And he kept the town clean and fairly free from grafters while he was mayor. Before he was mayor he was a superior court judge for one term. He has also served two terms as city councilman, and his record on the council is a good one. It is true he voted for the street car purchase; but so did I, and no doubt you did the same, to discover your mistake later on. But there are far more good things than bad to his credit. And more than all, he knows all about running our city affairs. He will make a good councilman. He has always stood back of our public utili John E. Carroll should be re-elected to the council be- cause of his good work as chairman of the street com- mittee. And he has much work in that department laid out that he ought to be allowed to finish. He has lived in Seattle since 1886. He was educated in our public schools, and afterward took a law course at the University of California. When we went into the world war he volunteered and went overseas with the 161st infantry. He came out a major. He was first elected to the city council in 1919, and has been returned twice since. He says he is a firm believer in the Skagit project {Torn to Page 7, Column 0) | William T.

L. BRADFORD | (Copyright, 1924, by United Press) ASHINGTON, March 3.—The oil scandal has made it necessary that the United States have a new government based on the principles of “com- mon honesty,” Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the navy, said today in an interview with the United \| Press. Daniels, mentioned as a candidate for the deme- cratic presidential nomination, is here writing a book on his former chief, Woodrow Wilson. The former navy secretary declined to discuss the ibility of his being a candidate for the presidency. The present is no time for candidates,” Daniels said. “The people have lost confidence in their gov- ernment. That is the pitiable and deplorable truth. “The conscientious republicans and honest demo- crats must right this wrong. And the government will not be cleansed from the inside. It must be changed from the outside. There are many honest men in government, but the miasma of corruption has changed the whole system. “There has been no voluntary active step by the present administration to right the wrong of the oil leases, What has been done by the administration has been forced by the minority by Senator Walsh in opposition to his colleagues who sought to white- wash the whole business. “The government itself has been shamefully in- volved thru the use of confidential government codes, the secret service, the very men that should be used to run down crooks. Why, the secret service should ve been scrapped before having daar os involved in I predict that there will be a new spirit guiding the making of the platform at the democratic conven- tion. There will be no place for the old-time, worn-out planks of ‘we favor this’ and that, concerning harm- less subjects that heretofore have been made para- ;] mount.” | nr geen See Tas cot Sars ae
