The grand jury issue forms the principal plank of her platform, but, in addition, she makes the unique promise of serving her con- stituents for a full two years, if elected, instead of the mere two months that tho legislature lasts. “As soon as I arrived at the legis- lature,” she said today, “I found that I could be of comparatively little service there to my district. Other districts—particularly the rural ones —want an appropriation for this and that and send a representative to the legislature with that object in view. He can swap votes and do anything he pleases, pretty much, so long as he wins enough votes for his own pet measure, “My district, however, doesn't want anything from the legislature but good government—and a lone representative can't do very much in that direction all by herself. I did my best, of course; I helped every veteran bill that was pre- sented, and I voted on all other | measures with the needs of my dis- trict—and my conscience—in mind. But I must confess that I didn’t bring jebout any miracles for my constit- uents. \Mr. and Mrs. Seattle BE PREPARED FoR ANOTHER SCANDAL wal COMING TO NIGHT? ilGonis Bisncss G shined Galle WILSON" BLdG, Maude Sweetman Runs for Legislature Again Maude Sweetman “Realizing this, I've been trying to make up ever since, by giving my district personal service right here in Seattle.
