When Monsieur Seymour was
scrambling for office, word was
passed broadcast by his admirers
that Senior Fawcett was the cause
of much "inharmonious activity.

In Tacoma of a council meeting.
"Hoenig says Roys was too Of
ficious,' was the head OF the ar
ticle which follows.
IA feature of the meeting OF
the city council last night was a
tilt between Councilman Hoenig,
of the eighth ward and City Clerk
Roys. 1t was occasioned by what
the councilman considered an
over officious act on the part OF
the city clerk, In changing a vot-
ing place from that named in the
election ordinance. Mr.. Hoenig
said: "I selected a place tn the
eighth ward for polling place,
and 1t was accepted by the coun-

And will the Swede vote be
"delivered?"
Arvid Rydstrom, Nick Lawson
and Roys and the Royal Arch
may make the deal but when 1t
comes to delivering the votes of
the self respecting Swedish peo-
pie in Tacoma it is mighty cer-
tain that they cannot be herded
for Roys, the corporation candi-
date.
Ritter Wilkeson, the former
councilman who worked for the
street car company and who ia
campaign manager for Roys says
they are going to put Roys in
hands down."
While the Royal Arch and the
corporation agents are juggling
to elect Roys a silent vote may be
gathering which will sweep Roys
under.

FOXY DEAL TO
HELPMR. ROYS?

Is the Royal Arch swapping
its support to Lawson for the
Lawson Swede vote for Roys?
That is the story that is going
the rounds today and Arvid Ryd-
strom Is said to be prominent in
the deal. One politician after an
other credits the story.
A saloonkeeper stated this
morning that the deal had been
made and that they were going to
forget Lawson's vote for the anti
treat ordinance, as it is dead
letter anyway.
For the last couple of days Pete
Dabroe and other Lawson workers
have been chuckling and intimat-
ing that something was going to
happen that would fix Lawson all
right.
Is this It?
