LABOR UNIONS Did NOT
. ENDORSE MR.. SEYMOUR
Labor Council Refused to Endorse Seymour, Despite
Impression That Seymour People Would Give.

Becoming frantic over deser-
tions from the Seymour ranks in
the last few days since the decent
people who were misled into sup
porting the special interest candid
ate have discovered that Seymour
Is backed solidly by the saloons
and Pete Sandberg element, the
campaign of Misrepresentation is
getting more crude and foolish all
the time.
The latest canard sprung was
issued last night by DR.. .Luema
Johnson, who declared at Odd
Fellows hall on the East Side
that the recall. of Mayor Fawcett
and the candidacy of Seymour
were both started in the Central
Labor Council.
1t is a little late to be trying
to get off any such nonsense and
the only thing this statement OF
the Seymour partisans will do will
be to convince the public still
more that there is a lacking OF
truth, honor or decency in the
Seymour campaign. DR.. johnson
surely was badly misled as such
statements could not be expected
otherwise in view of the real
facts.
1t has been admitted that the
recall of Mayor Fawcett was
started by the Royal Arch. The
recall petitions were assembled
and disbursed from the Office OF
John Leo, attorney for the Roya,
Arch. The Royal Arch men paid
the bills for that campaign, and
for DR.. Johnson or anybody else
to state that the recall was start
ed by the Tacoma Labor Coun-
Gil Is not only foolish but abso-
lutely false.
The recall of Mayor Fawcett
was started and prosecuted by
the saloon men on account of the
anti-treating ordinance and be-

RUNS AMUCK AND
STAbS 8 MEN

Mic Grublich, who was dubbed
in a Pacific avenue saloon by Pa
trolman Ca1kins, while resisting
arrest, and is possibly deranged
as the result either of the club
bing or alcoholism, ran amuck In
the city jail today, and with a
knife stabbed three fellow pris-
oners. Ed Maloney and Harry
Hunter and John Miller were the
three men cut. AS Grublich
lslashed him, Miller swung on
Grublich's jaw, dazing him and
knocking him backwards into a
bathing tub.
The howls of terror coming
from the throat of every prisoner
in the corridor brought score of
police officials on the scene at this
juncture and the unruly prisoner
was overpowered by Detective
Jimmy Malone.
How Grublich got the knife is
q mystery, but the police believe
it was slipped through one of the
holes in the light in the Commerce
street pavement. The police say
Grublich was simply ugly and un-
ruly. They do not accept the
theory that the slashing was part
of plan for Grublich to break
jail. Assistant City Physician
Laning who dressed the wounds
on Grublich's head, after he was
ciubbed by Calkins, says the man
was deranged at that time, and
believes the slashing this morning
to be a result of the arrangement.
Grublich was kept in a separate
cell for time. but was in the
sentence corridor this morning.

Despicable Method
Of Seymour Press

The saloons and corporations
are seeking to win their battle for
Seymour by insinuations and in
nuendoes against the private life
OF Mayor Fawcett 10 years ago.
"A divorce from his former wife
followed domestic trouble, the d.
|vorce proceedings being started
by Fawcett against his wife.
But now. for the purpose OF
getting q new grip on this city to
wiring more bloody dollars from
the flesh and blood OF the people,
the saloons and crooked corpora-
|tions have rolled up a mountain Or
Iinsinuations against FaHcett's 3
private character based on this
old domestic trouble. They are

once more.
"A. v. Fawcett has been true to
the people in his term OF Office.
He has been happily married
for dozen years now to his es-
Unable wife and they ara sur-s
rounded by a fine little family OF
-four children. The attempt to
drag out old skeletons from the
closets of the past for the sake Of

For Both Types.

Now, those engineers are TO
make plans for both vertical lift
and bascule bridges. When the
plans are made they will be ad-
vertised to the world and all the
bridge companies in the country
will be asked to bid on the con-
struction.
After the bids are in the council
will decide which to accept. If
the bascule bids are cheaper and
apparently better than the verti-
cal lift then the bascule will be
selected. If not then the vertical
lift will be selected.
Now is there anything peculiar,
unusual, crooked or unbusiness-
like about that?
This whole controversy was
gotten up because two other firms
of bridge engineers wanted the
job of making plans. The Strauss
and Shirzer companies both want
ed to do the drawing and they
made great fight for the busi-
ness.
Waddell & Harrington make all
kinds of bridge plans, the kind
they control through patents and
also all other kinds, excepting the
Strauss and Shirzer, which are
patented.
The bridge business is some
thing the average citizen knows
mighty little about. This rail-
way mems political club is not
any wiser than the rest of hui
manity and H. Alvin Moore in his
Seymour TRADE shows he has not
even got the first glimmer of light
on the real situation concerning
the bridge deal.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1911-04-14

Icause they wanted to get In a
mayor who would not enforce 1t.
The other statement of DR..
Johnson is just as ridiculous. That
the Central Labor Council had
some Seymour supporters and
that they had a committee ap-
pointed to negotiate with Seymour
Is correct but that the council
launched him and fought for him
is positively false. The Central
Labor Council did in fact endorse
Barth. the socialist. as the candid
ate of orgkanized labor and SO
went on record. i
1t Is too late for DR.. Johnson
to try to spring any such nom
sense ON the voters who know
what the real situation Is and
was.
There was a labor faction that
tried to make a deal to get Sey-
mour endorsed but they. failed.
Union labor knows that, In Sey-
mour's gas plant at Aberdeen and
Hoquiam the labor is absolutely
non-union and IL Is about the only
nen-union labor=in those cities.
III the Seymour speakers and
Subsidized organs would tell the
truth once in a while they might
make an impression. but the
wholesale attempt to deceive the
voters is proving a boomerang. Z
When the saloons and the cor
porate interests want to put one
over on the people they always
have to trick the people into 1t IL
they win. For the Seymour
hackers to come out openly and
say they wanted him In SO that
corporation control would once
more be established In Tacoma
and the saloons given a new grip
would be the truth but 1t would
not get the votes.
And the motto of the Seymour
managers is anything to win.

GREAT EAWCETT CROWD
RAL[YS At PALL|ES HALL
Prospects Of Corporation Mayor Not Relished in
South Tacoma.

"I tell you we don't want 9
Imam for mayor who is tied up wit
public service corporations and
who has made his fortune that
way. What kind of a represen-
tative would he make for us?"
1t was a little woman speaking
as she walked home last night
from the great Fawcett meeting
at Pallies' hall. This hall was
jammed. Half the audience was
made up of women and the state
men of the one above shows that
they Were grasping the political
situation.
A. r. Titlow, Mrs. H. H. John
ston, Mrs. Stevens and w. D.
Askren were the speakers. The
crowd was enthusiastic and seem
ed to be intent on. making the
Fifth ward unanimous for Faw-
|cett. ..+.
1t was plain to be seen. that they
did not relish the idea of having
la public service corporation may
|or. They were. satisfied with
Fawcett and what he had done.
There were some Seymour peo-
pie In the meeting at the start but
after Titlow had shown what Faw-
cett had done they began to swing
over. iFa II
He reviewed the action OF Faw-
|cett as mayor. He had fought the
Fern Hill fight and got five cent
fare. even before the courts grant
ed 1t. He got Traction transfers,
in spite of the court; he had with
the commission constructed two
magnificent bridges in the North
End and one on Puyallup avenue,
He with the commission had push
ed the gravity water system and
lit was soon to be completed. He
had pushed the power plant and
secured a municipal dock. He had
helped to get bonds for a new
bridge at Eleventh street and an
other over the PuyAllup.
Mayor .Fawcett has done more
In ten months than any mayor
lever did In the whole administers
|tion,p said Titlow.
The speaker discussed Seymour
as a public service corporation
candidate. He showed how he
owns gas and water and electric
Hight plants IN may cities how
he has built q fortune IN this WAY
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1911-04-14

and he asked IL a man who is in
that business and who is making
his fortune that way Is safe to
guide city now coming into mu-
nicipal ownership.
1t was apparent the people did
not think so.
w. D. Askren closed the meet
ing. He said the Seymour peo-
pie, unable to find fault with Faw-
Icetts. acts are trying the disreput-
able practice of Ampugning his
motives and declaring him not
sincere
but whether sincere or not he
does things for the people and
those things are Just as beneficial
to- the people when done in one
case as another" said Askren
7The supreme Court said the
city was not entitled to transfers
on the Traction line but Fawcett
got them anyway and now we do
not have TO dig down for that ex-
ira nickel when we ride. Yet
they say Fawcett is not sincere.
Well we are saving those nickeIs.
'They say he is not sincere on
thu anti-treating ordinance but
we have the law apd It is going to
save the boys and save the dollars
for the laboring man and we are
going to get the good of 1t because
he got 1t. What the people of
Tacoma want is a mayor who will
do something. and get something
for them and. they are not going
to question the sincerity OF the
man who is working constantly
for them

REAL FACTS AS REGARDS
THE BRIDGE QUESTION
Real Situation as Regards Bridge Not Told by the
Seymour Speakers.

Intelligent citizens are giving
the laugh to the Railway Mems
Political club and their secretary,
H. Alvin Moore, who tried to make
a Seymour speech at Old Town
Wednesday night and succeeded
In making himself supremely
ridiculous.
Moore declared the mayor had
let a contract for the Eleventh
street bridge and he proceeded to
show how full of holes that con-
tract was. How the interests of
the people had not been safe
guarded at all, that the contract
did not even state what kind Of
metal must be used in the bridge
and all that.
1t would all be awful If 1t were
true. The only trouble is that
Moore simply had erected straw
man and then tore 1t to pieces
with much frantic gesMculation
and oratory.
The crux of the whole situation
lies in the fact that no contract
has been let for any bridge what
ever.
Moore ranted and walled that
there was no competition. - He
said the bascule bridge had been
shut out entirely and lot more
things Just as untrue.
The facts in this whole bridge
muddle are simple these:
The city council has hired
bridge engineers to make plans
for bridges just as a man would
hire an architect to make plans
for a house. They picked Wad-
dell & Harrington.
