" . . VV. .. and the
now Being oikw. -
others cannot be chosen without It. al
though they will hse the adantae
of appearing on the ticket In the order
of their Tote at the primaries; while
Weaver and the rest of tha second
.roup realise that if they can secure
fhe support that was negligible In the
primary eontsst they will ba elected.
To that extent only Is there any dis
tinction amon tha candidates. Othsr
wi.e. they are on exactly an even foot
In, with as good a chance for one
man to win as any other.
It la on this chance that the friends
of William H. Murphy, president of the
outfolne; Council, and of Frank P. Mul
len, chairman of the street committee,
mre basln their hopes of success. If
there Is an -old fttird" or remnant of
former political methods In Seattle. It
le probably embodied In Murphy and
Mullen to a greater extent than In any
others of the candidates. In the prl
.nary Murphy ran lth. with a vote of
7S01 while Mullen dropped to the
foot" of the list, with J. E0.0'
them has served several years In the
Council, and they are both familiar
with many uncompleted undertsklngs
Involving regrades and assessments.
Blit Project Hurt Prospect.
In fact. It Is precisely their knowl
edge and experience, and their cloee
connection with stupendous projects,
that caused them to receive a relative
ly small vote at tha primary. There le
the Westlake Boulevard, for example,
which with Its change of grades where
Kremont avenue reaches the canal
rlht-of-way at Lake Cnlon. has been
an exp-netve proposition. Tha main
street of Fremont Is literally on stilts.
The boulevard crosses the Northern
Pacific trucks at that point at a belM
39 ft above the old level, and build
ings all along tha line are being raised
to grade, it Is a vast Improvement pro
ject with an eye to the future but
Its effect was to hurt Murphy and Mul
len at the primaries;
Against an argument of that Kina is
the undoubted experience of the two
men. They have been highly com
mended by the eltlxens- committee, and
In their behalf the statement Is made
that their thorough knowledge of mu
nicipal affaire will ba valuable to the
nw Council and Mayor. Murphy has a
personal motive for wishing to win. For
a long time he has been at sword's
points with A. J. Ood.lard. also from bis
district, and also Councilman at large.
At one time the controversy between
the two became extremely violent In
the Council, and open hostility still ex
its. Murphy. It Is said, la willing to

to nave hurt Murphy la the late cam

Weaver, who beads tha second group.
Is now Councilman from the Eleventh
ward: Joe Schlumpf. who Is 14th. Is
Councilman from the Third; and H. C
Rohlke. from the Thirteenth ward. Is
nth on tha list. This makea five mem
bers of tha preeent Council In the sec
ond group. In the first group, ta ad
dition ta Goddard. are E- L. Blaine, who
Is eecoad; Max WardaU. who ta fourth,
and J. T. C Kellogg, wh la seventh.
Plains and Kellogg are new to the
Council, not yet having served a year;
WardaU la la his second term, and God
dard baa been Councilman for several
years. Thus thsre are nine membera of
tha present Council, and nine entirely
new and untried men. among tha nomi
nees, la order the new men are: O. T.
Frlckson. Austin F Griffiths. T. 8.
Stelner. Robert Hesketh. A. F. Haas. T.
I. Uulctev. Frank R- Van Tuyl. George
R Littlefteld and Joe Smith. With naif
of the candldatea membera of the pres
ent Council and four of the nine well
up toward the top of the ticket, there
la an even chance that tha new Coun
cil of nine will have several experi
enced legislators In Its membership.
Whether tba lead secured at the
primaries will mean election next Tues
day can only be determined after tha
vote Is counted. Interest In tha re
sult Is not so keen as Is usually tha
rase: and perhaps It la not wide of
the mark to say that the voters, bav.
Ing aroused themselves extraordinar
ily for the recall, are experiencing re
flex action. At any rate, they do not
seem to nave any further concern than
at the primary. The recall election
drew out fl.eea votes, or more than
T per cent of the registration of
7 l.eos: but tha vote at tha primary
fell to less than pr cent. Tba
councllroaolo election will scarcely go
above that figure the male voters be
ing clearly sated with the multiplicity
of contests that have worried Hoattla,
and the women voters no longer re
garding the ballot as a curloua novelty.
City Ownership at Iue.
During tha past week a somewhat
lively dleeusalon baa taken place on
account of the proposed bond Issue of
ties.te for tha purchase or condemna
tion of the Rainier Valley lines, and
tha extension of the system from
(Stewart street and Third avenua ta
A. W. FAWCETT.
point on Salmon Bay. thereby giving
FestUe a munlclpally-owned and oper
ated streetcar Una from northern to
southern boundary, a distance of about
14 miles.
Many voters are realising- only now
that such an Issue Is at stake next
Tuesday, for thousands of tbem bav
been watching tha recall and the coun
cllmanlo contest to tha exclusion of
tba vital matter of a bond Issue of
more than three-quarters of a million.
Htavy taxpayer are aroused to tha
danger both of Adding to the burden
of deb and the danger of municipal
ownership. The Chamber of Commerce,
la particular, has gone on record unani
mously against th proposed bond Is
sue. Us committee on taxation, headed
by Jamea H. Goldsmith, having roads
an exhaustive report on tha subject.
Tha report convey a warning that
Seattle's bonded debt 1 now close to
tha legal limit. Tha proposed bond Is
sue, It says, "would not only add ma
terially to our bonded Indebtedness but
also would be likely to Increase tha
amount of tba annual deficit, amount
ing In 110 o $;:7.121. and Increase
tba burden of taxation, already much
too hlgh.ithe city rata being- la excess
of 17 mills."
Bond Issne Opposed.
In addition to the action of tha
Chamber of Commerce, a S2-paga pam
phlet baa been mailed to each regis
tered voter. Tha postage per copy Is
X cents, so that tha bill for stamps
alona has approximated I1S00. There
Is nothing on tha circular to Indicate
Its source, but It calla upon tha eltl
xens to save Seattle's credit, and It
presents 14 reasons for voting against
th bonds. They deal with the debt
and debt limit. Interest, taxes, rivalry
of rortland. unbusinesslike wsy of sub
mitting tha question, damage, bad
service, mortgaging of every horn to
serve a few eltlxens. Increase in num
ber Of city employes, example of Cleve
land. England and Australia, certain
failure of project, need of confidence
of Eastern Investors, and tha fact that
tha Seattle Electric Company has a
franchise to build a Una on Rainier
avenue. It Is possible that sudden In
terest In tha bond Issue, both by It
supporters and opponents, may stimu
late tha vote at tha eleclon.
Another proposed bond Issue to ba
voted on Tuesday, provides tor :av,uvw
for tha rebuilding of a part of tha
city light and power system. It will
b submitted unaer tne iniuauv prv
rlston of the charter, and will appear
aa proposition No. X. There will also
b proposition No. J. dealing with tha
same subject, but about which offi
cials are divided In opinion as to
whether a bond Issue will ba required.

6 Suitable Commissioner From

SPOKANE, March 4. (Special). To
tret five good men out of th 1 who
are running for the $6000 a year city
commlsslonershlps which are to be
voted on next Tuesday, about 40 or
ganizations, some in th Interest of a
slDgl candidate, soma Indorsing five,
and other recommending- at least 15,
bava been formed. There are the Good
Cltlsenshlp Organisation, tha Charter
Commission Organisation and many
other club, where almost nightly can
didate appear to tell of their fitness
for office.
Then there are four cewspspers, all
of which hava Ideas as to who are th
men good enough to hold office and
yet bav a chance of winning. ' Tha
leading morning paper and the leading
evening paper have thrown open their
columns to decent candidates and are
struggling with the problem of edu
cating the eltlxens how to vote with
out throwing sway tha ballot by mark
ing It Incorrectly. At the same time
these papers, to maintain absolut
fairness, are unwilling as yet to cham
pion tha cause of any set of five men,
but content themselves with printing
tha lists presented by th various clvlo
organizations.
Three Choices Given.
The voters, of whom there are about
13.000. registered, probably one-third
of them women, may vote for five first
cnplce. five aecond choice, and aa many
third choice as It pleases them, pro
viding they do not mark their ballots
mora than once for th same candi
date. If 20.000 votes are cast, It is
possible to have mora than 1,800.000
marks on tha ballot to be counted
next Tuesday night, probably far Into
Wednesday night, and. In one precinct
where there are more than 600 voters,
probably Into Thursday morning. Tha
word Is given out that the safest plan
Is to vote for the best five for first
choice, the second best live for second
choice, and tha third best five for third
choice, and stop there.
It Is -decreed that a candidate re
ceiving a majority of first choice votes
shall ba elected without counting the
second cholc votes. Or, if a candi
date shall have a majority of the com
bined first and second choloe votes,
then ba shall ba elected, providing first
choice votes bav failed to elect. The
combination of first and second choice
votes falling to furnish a winning
quintet, then tha selection of tba re
mainder goee to third choice votes,
which are to b added to the candi
date s total af first and second choice
votes. The possibilities are bewilder
ing, yet tba scheme 1 Intended, and
probably will effect the election of the
men whom the majority of the voters
wish to ba elected.

It Is of very recent record that 8. O.

Stanton Warburton In the recent Con
gressional campaign. Langhorne ran well
In Tacoma. is a man of ability and promi
nence and his friends think be would
make a capable Mayor or Commissioner.
Ernest Lister, contractor evnd Democrat,
who was defeated by W. W. McCredle
when th latter was elected to Con
gress. Is also talked of by hi friends.
Nelson Bennett, another well-known con
tractor, who was president of the Park
Board a few years ego when It waa In
volved in turmnoll, is also being men
tioned. Mr. Bennett le a man of un
questioned business ability and leas diplo
macy. He could be relied on for a strict

elected. E. A. Lynn, photographer.
Councilman under the old form of gov
ernment and candidate at the Commis
sion election a year ago, would like a
place If he could get It- So would Clar
ence Parker, printer, who waa defested
for Commissioner at tba April election;
was a member of the recent workmen's
compensation commission which framed
tha eo-called Teat bill. Parker has
hopes of a place as member of the Com
mission to administer the liability law
he helped frame. Falling that, be would
take a city office and has been carefully
grooming ever since his defeat a year
ago.
Duties Are Shown.
Attorney Frank A. Maglll, chairman of
the recall committee of 15, ie going about
the city lecturing on the duties of the
Mayor and Comml-slonens under the
present charter. He has had a chart pre
pared which he uses to lUuBtrate his
lecture. MagUI would not shy at all
should a candidacy come hie way, but Is
rather bashful about asking It. Another
member of the committee of 15 who
would like to be Mayor la Charles Drury,
tailor, ex-member of the Board of Edu
cation, and defeated for the Democratic
mayoralty nomination three years ago
by George P. Wright, of ssphalt paving
fame. Mayor Faweett Is confident he
would have a particular 'cinch" against
either Maglll or Drury and Is very
anxious to have his recall election held
separate from that of the four Commis
sioners. W. E. Clayton, who tried In vain
to land the appointment a building In
spector, la said by his friends to be de
termined to any bis castor into the ring
for the Public Works Commissi onshl p. no
matter how large the field.
E. J. McXeeley. prominent lumber and
shingle manufacturer, whose plant was
destroyed by fire some months ago and
wbo has not since been engaged In busi
ness, being well-to-do financially, was
also being spoken of this week.
The bee Is buzzing in tha bonnets of
moat of the men who were defeated at
th election last April, but It Is doubtful
If any of them would stand a show
against th men It Is now sought to re
call. All four Commissioners and the
Mayor have the support of city employes
whose appointment dependa on them and
these employes are working hard for
them and will continue to do so. and
thla machine counts to a considerable
extent.
Klectlon Is -April ,4.
As ths situation artands at present the
Faweett recall election Is scheduled for
April 4. The Commission haa passed a
motion to that effect, but has yet to
pass the formal ordinance and the com
mittee of IS Is seeking to have the date
put ahead so that ths Mayoralty nd Com
missioner election can somehow be the
ssme day. The amended petition for
Fawcett's recall was certified to the Com
mission Wednesday by the City Clerk
with HS1 names, 3073 being the number
required. About 4000 names are signed
to each of the petition for the recall
of the four Commissioner.
Msyor Faweett Is well pleased with
the past week' developments. Tuesday

municipal dock on the city waterway
and the Mayor thinks himself the real
father of this dock project. There was a

Fawoett I a better and abler man than
they had thought.
There are now about 15,700 voters regis
tered and the first test of Fawcett's
strength, he thinks, will come with the
antl-treatlng ordinance referendum elec
tion this month. The Mayor is carrying
on an energetic gum-shoe campaign In
behalf of this ordinance, much of tho
same caliber that won the Mayoralty for
him last April when he was a "dark
horse" in the race.
That the recall campaign has had some
effect on the Commissioners 'Is shown
by the February city payroll filed last
week which was nearly $6000 under the
January roll. Lst month's payroll waa
P35.6SS.29 as against $70,217.76. Commis
sioner Lavion was the chief economizer,
reducing his payroll in. the Hsht and

payroll has been higher under the Com
mission plan than ever before.

wearing of cheap and
poorly-fitted glasses.

fit of the latter. Spare the dollar, and
spoil the eyes. Is Indeed poor economy.
Get the best, if it does cost more. Tou
are dollars ahead in the end. No extra
charge for our scientific examination,
and you cannot obtain better eervlce
anywhere, at any price.
