A WORD no PROHIsIrIoNrsrs.


If any one should suggest to the prohibi-
ton voters OF this city that they relin.
auish their right Of suffrage at the coming
municipal election, he would doubtless be
met with an indignant protest. And yet
for all practical purposes every man who
votes for Mr.. D. B. Ward for Mayor and
for the remainder of the prohibition ticket
DISTINGUISHES himself. Against Mr.. Ward
not one word can be said. He is man of
integrity and honesty of purpose. But he
stands not the remotest chance of being
elected. He will at best get only few
hundred votes out of total OF several
thousand. Every vote cast for him Is
vote thrown away. We ask every prohi-
bitionist in all candor whether he believes
that In eyading his plain duty to decide
between the Republican and the Demo-
cratic nominees for Mayor, who alone
stand any chance of election, he is not do
ing an injury to himself, toahe city Of Sc
attic and to the Republican party. TO
himself, because he throws his vote away
upon man who he knows has NO chance
for election. To the city of Seattle.
because he evades the responsibility of
choosing from the candidates who are
really in the race the man whom he be-
lieves to be best fitted for the position. To
the Republican party. because as almost
every prohibitionist vote would, If not cast
in that way. be Republican vote, the
party is weakened and its power for good
lessened by taking from it an element that
would otherwise assist it in an enlightened
and progressive policy. We ask every Re-
publican voter of prohibition tendencies to
consider these Things well. The Republi-
can party needs your help. If the city
election goes Democratic the county will
undoubtedly 60 the same way in Novem-
Der, and Tacoma will have the honor Of
naming the next United States Senator. A
vote for Ward is q vote for Collins, because
every vote that Ward gets will be one
taken from the Republican party. And
what prohibitionist is there who can con-
sistently vote for John Collins or indirectly
assist him to become Mayor of this city?
Himself the owner of saloon, his sympa-
thies are all with that element. Mayor
White, on the other hand, while not
prohibitionIst in the broad sense of the
term is. nevertheless, man who is per-
sonally and by force of his individual
example, the last man in the world who
could be accused of being in sympathy
with the saloon element The election
must be choice between Mr.. Collins and
Mr.. White. No citizens of Seattle can az
ford to evade that ISSUE

man. unaccustomed to Jury duty and con-
fused by appearing before 90 large an as
semblage and such an array of judicial
dignity. committed the error of announcing
a verdict the other way. for the plaintiff,
which passed unn0ticed and was so entered.
But after the discharge of the Jury the
error was discovered and the court was
asked to have the error corrected or to re-
open the case. But this he peremptorily
refused to do, holding that lit would be
against public policy to allow q jury to dis
credit its own verdict" He also held that
il was incompetent for Jurors to reveal their
proceedings IN the jury room. No matter
how conclusive the evidence that the de-
PENDANT had paid the debt. and that the
jury had so found, the error due to the
confusion and bungling of the foreman
had been recorded and must stand.
Such rulings are fast dispelling the pop
uIar impression that laws are enacted and
courts main aimed for the promotion of
justice rather than the enforcement OF
technical;ties. Obviously the enforcement
OF this ru IN a murder trial would be quite
serious. The erroneous insertion or omis-
sion of the little wcrd mot" before the
word guilty" by a fuddled foreman is
quite conceivable. and it is within the
range OF possibility that at the instant the
jury whose verdict it purported to be might
overlook the error. But all the same. If 1t
should happen to be mistaken omission,
and should be so recorded. the defendant
though pro,en innocent, and though the
jury intended to acquit him, would have to
hang. And the trouble is that the country
is becoming considerably overstocked with
these Oberlanders on the bench.

WHY THIS CHANGE?

When John Collins was proposed as
member of the Charter Commission the
representatives of organized labor de-
nounced him as an enemy of the working
classes and refused to permit his name to
be placed upon their ticket. As a member
of that com mission. as if to revenge him.
self for this rebuff, John Collins opposed
every measure 'hst the workingmen were
interested in. And yet, in spite of this,
one or two of the supposed leaders of the
labor organizations, who before denounced
him. are now supporting him. What has
produced this change? Is it possible that
the promise of IA street commissionership.
or OF few sewer contracts. could induce
these men to be false to the trust repo.ed
in them By their Acknowledgement 1t Ger.
tainly LOOKS that way.

MR.. COLLINS AND ORGANIZED
LABOR.

Il II difficult to see how laboring men
can consistently vote for John Collins as
Mayor OF Seattle. Not only has he never
in any way shown himself to be friendly
to their interests. but he has repeatedly, as
is notorious, arraved himself in opposition
to their wishes. He claims that he stands
on the Democratic platform. And yet he
has repeatedly violated the strongest
planks that it contains. Not until he be-
came candidate did he even profess to
believe in having the eight-hour law incor-
porated in the charter. Now his CONVEX
sion is due to q shallow attempt to gain
votes. as every working man knows.
Here is what the chairman of the Demo-
cratic County Central Committee said of
John Collins before his nomination. We
quote from the report OF meeting of the
Seventh Ward Democratic Club, held Sat-
urday evening. September 9Th:
The greater portion of the address OF Judge
Rochester was devoted to the work of the
speaker on the charter commission, and his eff
forts to SECURE the adoption OF articles in the
document that would permit the election of all
ofhcers by the people, instead OF having them
appointed BY the mayor He said that his eff
forts were seconded by .the Democratic contin-
gent in the commission, with the exception of
one member. whose Democracy is doubted.
That mem Der, he said now aspired to the DEM
ocratic nomination for mayor, but the speaker
had said plainly that he would not support him.
The member referred to was John Collins.
The following extracts from the record of
the proceedings OF the charter commission
show that John Collins is not sincere when
he says he stands on the Democratic plat
form:
Monday, July MIR. Donworth moved tina.
only citizens or those having declared intention
for At least three months. should be employed
on public works. John Collins opposed il.
Monday. July Mr.. Douglas Young moved
to add section that eight hours shall constitute
days work-ayes 8. nays7. Collins voted no;
and his vote killed it.
July 9.-Judge Greene moved TO make the
office OF Comptroller appoinuve. All the other
Republicans.
July 17.-Jndge Rochester moved TO make the
Office OF Commissioner of Public Works elective.
John Collins voted no.
Ii the laboring men of Seattle want to
vote for q man whose hypocritical preten-
sions are labored and transparent, let them
vote for John Collins. II they want to vote
for a man whose friendship for their inter.
ests has been attested by deeds, not words,
let them vote for Harry White.
