0ccnaon has yet 20 arise when Seattle
citizens were false to the traditions Of the
past
There 10 now in this campaign m occa-
sion for an exhibition OF chat same spirit.
the ruling note Of which has always been
what Is for the best interests Of the
csty7" Now. h It for the best interests OF
Seattle that the state government should
pass inco the hands OF the Populssts. with
the milk ticket fnancier' OF Puyallup In
the gubernatoriai chair? Is It for the best
interests of Seattle that the word should
go forth that this state has elected q Pop
uhstic legislature. which proposes TO
"csnch' capital should II be unwiee enough
to seek this state for investment? Is 1t for
the best interests Of Seattle that the state
OF Washington. with Ats vast and varied
agricultural. manufacturing and CONNER
clad interests. should enter into an Of
fensive and defensive alliance with q hand
full OF mining states. and those OF the
blacklist belt In the South. against those
majority OF our citizens, which have fur
nssised US with ell the capital enlisted In
our enterprises and with which we have
intimate business relations?
There u no question as to how Seattle
viii answer these propositions. The votes
Of this city win be enrolled for the sound
money which our commercial interests
must have: for the protection which our
manufacturing industries require, and for
honesty and fair dealing with creditors,
which the credit of the city imperatively
demands and on which its hopes OF future
prosperity must be based.
But this is not enough. A small major
ty for the Republican state and national
ticket would not be sufficient to empha-
size the position which the city has as
summed. There should be an outpour.ng
of votes sufficient not alone to demon
strate that Seattle In itself is safe and
conservative place, but to give to the city
the credit of carrying the whole state
safely into the winning column. If the
city of Seattle can roll up a Republican
majority equal to or In excess of the ma
tority given In the entire state. 10 Seattle
Will be accorded the honor OF saving the
state. which has. by reason OF It's geo.
graphical position. been considered IN the
East as doubtful or inclined to ropulism.
No advertisement could be given the city
which would excite more attention, or be
followed by more beneacrai results; which
would mean as much TO the material pros
perssy OF the city and of every man who
has n dollars worth OF interests here, or
a desire TO make this his permanent home,
than an overwhelming majority to be cas-,
In this election on the side which stands
for stable currency and the preservation
OF national and private honor.
