Mr. Terrace with the following

Modest and unassumlng In HIS do
neauor. quiet and reticent in his
daily routine. Frank Terrace Is an
aroused lion when he believes that
the interests Of the masses are in
jeopardy or their rights are being
infringed upon.
lie has never held public office,
nor has he ever been n candidate
before. and he would not be one
now but for the fact that the COM
missIonership of the proposed Port
Of Seattle Is a position OF high honor
and deep responsibility. rather than
one of profit or emolument. so he
kindly yielded to the opportunities
OF his neIghbors and his friends all
over the county. who have happily
selected him as their choice and
nominated him by petition.
II Is this fact that members OF
the Port Commission shall serve
without pay. and the further fact
that they are to serve without CIV
Ina bonds that should make the
voters OF King county extraordIn-
arily cautious and extremely careful
In their selection.
The permanent success OF the
great commercial port that It is
proposed to create depends abso-
lutely upon an unimpeachable char
acter. a general ability and wide
experience. Without drawing any
comparisons, II Is an indisputable
fact that Mr. Frank Terrace possess
es these qualifications In a pre-
eminent degree. and enjoys tho con-
fldence aud respect of all who know
him, and their name is Legion.
