THE CITY COUNCIL FIGHT

The liberal element among the male voters of the
city is planning for the spring election which, unless
headed off by those opposing such policy for Seattle,
will result in that element electng majority of the
members of the next council all of whom will be elect
ed next spring. The program has been mapped out
by one who ought to know and is follows: James
Conway of the First ward man yet to be named
from the Second ward; Joe Schlumpf from the Third
ward; Fred Sawyer from the Fourth ward Henry A.
Beck from the Fifth ward; Arnold ZbndeA from the
Sixth ward and Frank P Mullen from the Seventh
ward. These have already agreed to form alliance
and make fight for the election of themselves Each
ward will line up unit is possible for those
seven and vote and trade far possible with
other wards for outside support of them. There
nine councmen to be elected and of the selected seven
if the combination lands right side up with five of
them elected it will be in absolute control of the city
council and will be able to block any reform legislation
that might be introduced in the body. If the above
combination is carried out it will be next to imposs
BILE to beat it. W. H. Murphy of the Ninth ward is
also in this combination, but he wants to be

THE RENToN SOUTHERN OUTRAGE

If ever the patrons of railroad had just cause
for complaint and just to become indignant the
patrons of the Renton Southern, seml-lnterurban
road have The manager of this road has resorted to
every cunning devise known to the art OF tricky
lawyer to hold up and rob the patrons of the road IN
the shape of ercharges and though the lower courts
have decided against him. he takes advantage of an
appeal to higher court and further declares that he
will take the into the various federal courts going
to the United States supreme court and thereby delay
and prevent the people from getting their rights for
the next five years more. In the mean time ne Is
charging the increased fare and the patrons OF the
road will not only pay all the costs of the appeals but
the extra fare will likewise add very materially to the
profits of the road majority of the members OF the
city council favor the aborogatng of the franchise of
the company Immediately if not sooner out it is very
questionable if the attempt to do that might not bring
on law suit that could be nveghled into the federal
courts and be kept dly dalying along for the next
five Or ten years However, the city council and the
board of public works should hinder and hamper the
actions of the company at every point and not grant it
single concession that it has not already granted and
if possible rescind the franchise While Seattle is in
need of men that will do things to bring money
to Seatte yet the city is not in need of such men as
W. R. Crawford, and the efforts of such to get
favors from the city should be rebuked. The chief
sockhoder of this road and his attorney have been in
a row with the city since the company was given
franchise to enter the city limits and if it requires
that much contention to get along with public
vice corporation is better that it be denied the prv
lege of doing business in the city, 1t is very evident
that Mr.. Crawford is greedy little human hog that
is willing to take advanta ge of everybody and every
thing in order to gouge dollar out of some helpless
human being We truly hope that the council will not
lose single minute in making life sucn burden
for the Ranton Southern that it will glad to leave
the city.
