PEOPLE WANT NO POLITICIANS AND NO CORPORATION MEN
in POWER UNDER NEW COMMISSION PLAN

Tacoma people are rightly taking deep
interest in the selection of candidates for the
new commission plan of government to be in
augurated next April.
There is well defined sentiment for a
new deal. The old crowd in the city hall is
strenuously laying wires to get back in, but
the people do not seem to be warming up
to the game at all. The people changed the
form of government, for one thing, to get rid
of the political wire-pullers and schemers
who have been running things.
OF the city hall force there promises to be
a lot of candidates, however. Commissioner
McGregor, Councilmen Lynn, Armstrong and
Bell are all flirting with the mayoralty.
Councilmen Kreger, Rankin and Gibett and
Treasurer Freeland and Controller Meads
are all planning quietly for commissioner
ships.
Outside the city hall the old politicians

THINK BIBb

WINNER
SPIRITED SCHOOL ELECTION
TOMORROW - OPPOSITION
TO BIBB DIVIDED AND HIS
REELECTION Is PROBABLE.

In what promises to be a spirit
ed election, citizens of Tacoma will
tomorrow choose one member for
the board of education from
among the three candidates John
T< Bibb, 7. F. Ray and G. G..
Williams.
From present indications Mr..
Bibb will be elected, as the opposi-
ton to him is divided between the
other two candidates. The at
tempt made by the opposition can
didates to embarrass Superintend-
ent Yoder during the campaign
has also proven a boomerang ap-
parently, and Bibb's election will
mean that the people who have
children in the schools mean to
stand by the superintendent in his
|efforts to improve the schools and
to secure the best teachers pos

The polls will open at 1 O'Clock

looking the good salaries now up for office

But the people are looking for honest, eff

take the jobs because they are good for them
selves
There are several important things to con-
slider in picking candidates to run the city at
this time. In addition to being honest and
capable it will be pretty dangerous thing if
men are put in there as commissioners who
are not in sympathy with the new municipal

The bridge across the Puyallup

The county commissioners to-

The delegation that waited n

the delegation and his arguments
were backed by short addresses

On account of the fact that the

action. They finally agreed, how
