OF the fire department, and il delights me

The German merIean Club unani-
mousiy adopted the following resolutions
at its meeting last night.
''Sinee the German-American Independ-
ent Club of Seattle endeayored to assist in
taking the local elections out of party pol
lilies. and since a Citizens Munieipal
League recommends an independent ticket
10 the citizens for support, IL is proper that
%. ID "a
said ticket.
I'VE ind that the organization of said
league did not originate from the people,
bat from q number of bankers, wealthy
real estate owners and lawyers, who do
not represent the people bat only Inn
tied class Of the same.
I'VE lind that said league was organized
behind closed doors excluding with the
assistance of police officers, the mass OF
the citizens whose votes the league now
solicits for the support of their ticket
I'VE ind that the nominations of the
candidates upon the league ticket were
made by committee of seven wise men,
an un-AmeFican innovation, which
aiienates the masses of the citizens from
their right AID duty to nominate their
own officials, while the common veal de-
mands that all the citizens should be
called tn Ia exercise their political rights.
We ind on these grounds that the or
IantzaiIon and political work Of the league
does not recommend itself 10 the mass O.
the citizens for Endorsement but stamps
Itself as un- American wherefore, it Is
''hosalrei. That the members OF thi7
club, conscious of their duties as Ameri-
can citizens. can not support the Munich
pal League ticket"

Seventh Ward Republican Club was held
