ests remember the Poindexter election last fall They
realize that their cause is desperate and they are
adopting desperate means.
They becloud the issues, they resort to decep-
tion, they choose saint their tool, pleasant
man, but they play SAFE They know that their man
has their viewpoint. They know their man wouldn't
betray their interests because their man is one Of
them.
Seymour is in their class.
He knows nothing of the problems that confront
ninety-tive per cent of the people Of this city.
Seymour sees life, he the problems of life
through the eyes of the wealthy few.
And he can't help it. He is trained that way.
1t is not the petty little crook that the people
must guard against these days. 1t is the men in
public office, who honestly, otherwise, represent
the interests that the people must watch. It is men
OF the Ballinger type, men absolutely incapable Of
honestly representing the people BECAUSE THEY
DON'T KNOW THE PEOPLE.
There men and women Of Tacoma, is your
problem.
1t is for you to choose Fawcett the man of the
people, or Seymour, the untried but the corporation
trained.

Women May Not Be
Easy for Herders

The special interests pin their
whole hope on the women vote.
In the gravity water, the power
plant, the municipal dock, the
squelching of every corporation
candidate that had bobbed up in
the last two years the men of Ia
coma showed they had learned by
dear experience not to trust the
corporation gang and the subsid-
lied press, that boosts for 1t.
Now the interests, including the
Royal Arch are trying to hoodwink
the good women, thinking they will
be new at politics and easily gull
led.
But will they?
Don't the women know that II
was Commissioner Roys who turn
ed the town over to Pete Sand
berg and took off the lid and who
said, by the help of God" he
would maintain a restricted dis
trict? Don't they know that the
man who brought back gambling
and who refused to enforce the
law was Roys? Don't they know
that the only talk of recall I'm

Mayor Fawcett introduced and
passed his anti-treat ordinance?

Isn't This a
Cute Trick?

Mayor Fawcett is seriously
thinking of having several wit
nesses remain in his office
throughout the day as a result Of
the political trickery and decep-
tion being practised by the subsi-
died press of Tacoma.
In a desperate endeavor to
clean their skirts of saloon poll
tics, stamped upon them in the
anti-treating campaign, certain In
terests are endeavoring to connect
Mayor Fawcett with the Royal
Arch. Forewarning has been Civ
en- that political play may be
made which will involve the visit
of some saloon men to the mayor,
closely followed by detectives and
newspaper men. Then would
come the news that Mayor Faw-
cett was receiving delegations
Of saloon men. There Is every
reason to believe that the scheme
Is being Matched.

The smoke of the skrmish line is clearing and
the battle array in the mayoralty campaign begins
to stand out plainly.
The lines drawn, the issues are plain
And above the mud-slinging, above the dema-
gogic cries of wire puers, above the din of false
hoods, half truths and political canards this fact
stands out:
THE INTERESTS ARE TRYING TO RE
GAIN POLITICAL CONTROL OF TACOMA.
In this campaign as in all others the Times has
no object other than to do it's part in protecting in
terests of the people and upholding the common
cause
This paper stands for the great masses, for the
men and women who work, for that great army of
people so busy in graphing with the cold hard prob
lem OF making living that they have all too often
been tricked and cheated by the shrewd and wealthy
few who wax rich from the work of the toilers.
There are few men who offer themselves for pub
lie office big enough, honest enough, and BOLD
ENOUGH to demand for the people their just dues.
Whenever any public official does break away from
the old order of things and does for the people
even small measure of justice the Times as the organ
OF the people is for that and will stay with him
until some other man will go farther along the pro-
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1911-03-27

gressive line of serving the people in fact not in
theory.
The Times is with such a man because he imme-
diately arouses the powerful opposition of the
wealthy few who through their control of papers
and through their control of countless industrial
avenues make their opposition felt In a case
like this the Times chooses to fight with the people.
This paper not rap for the good will or the
friendship of the selfish but powerful interests.
One public official in Tacoma in recent years
has seemed to see the problem from the viewpoint
of the people. He has not gone far. He has not
gone half far the Times would like to see him
go, not half as far as the people want him to go.
But he has been brave enough to make start.
THAT MAN is A. V. FAWCETT
Of course he has aroused opposition.
But analyze his opposition You will find the
selfish few. You see first the Royal Arch, which
has more business medding with the people S
government than has the Stone Webster interests.
Fighting shoulder to shoulder with the saloons
stands the t. r. p. the Electric monopoly and it's
allies.
AND WITH THEM AS EVER BEFORE
STANDS THE SUBSIDIZED PRESS.
There you have Fawcett's enemies. There you
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1911-03-27

have the backbone of his opposition.
There you have the factors which seek to per-
vert the RECALL, THE PEOPLES WEAPON,
INTO A TRAP AND A SNARE TO FOOL AND
BETRAY THE PEOPLE.
Often must be respected for the enemies
he makes.
Old Fighting Fawcett is such man.
You remember when he was triumphantly elect
ed year ago how certain interests and papers
fawned upon him, how they coddled him and sought
to make him theirs.
Fawcett could have had their friendship and
their support, but to get it Fawcett would have had
to bow down and worship them, and Fawcett
doesn't bow down.
Fawcett didn't choose to be their servant He
started right in doing things for the people.
He launched the municipal dock You remem-
Der what interests and papers fought that. They
were the same interests and the same papers that
fought the municipal power pant-the same inter
ests and papers that have fought every project in
tended to benefit the people of Tacoma
Always these interests are powerful. Always
they are shrewd. They know they have desperate
fight in Tacoma, for the people Of Tacoma of late
years have been doing some thinking. These inter-

toons. and circulars against Faw.
|cett and the anti-treat ordinance
And the women know that May
or Fawcett is enforcing the anti.
treat ordinance.
They should know that the same
disreputable tricks of old time
campaigns are being resorted tc
by the Royal Arch and the spe.
cial interests to defeat Fawcett by
lining up both the saloon and
church votes together against him
And why this awful game to gel
rid of Fawcett?
Because the corporations and
the saloons cannot use him.
There are evidences that the
women of Tacoma are getting onto
the game, however, and the pro.
cess of stampeding them into the
special interest-Royal Arch cam
paign against Fawcett is getting to
be rather a difficult one for the
corporation crowd.

HE'LL HELP TEDDY GET AROUND
DOW PLANS no MAKE ROOSE-
WELT VISIT A HOLIDAY FOR
THE PUBLIC.

When Theodore Roosevelt en-
ters Tacoma April he will not
come as the guest Of any one fac
ton or clique.
The plans of Lorenzo Dow, ap-
pointed by Senator Poindexter to
take charge of the reception, CEN
ter about a meeting purely demo-
cratic.
Mr.. Roosevelt will be breakfast
ed at the Tacoma hotel. The plan
of a committee to take him in
charge has been revoked, in order
that no charges of favoritism may
ensue.
Permission has been granted
for the school children to assem-
BILE at the stadium, where, wealth
er permitting, the address by Mr..
Roosevelt will take place. Mayor
Fawcett will doubtless declare a
half holiday and it may be that
the mills will make some provision
in order that the working men
may have chance to hear the ex-
president.
Senator Poindexter, opposed by
the special interests and elected
by terrific vote over his oppon-
ents, is anxious that the ordinary,
everyday men and women who
put him in the senate shall be the
hosts for Roosevelt. Mr.. Dow
also is imbued with this spirit and
is making preparations which wHl
cause Roosevelt day one to be re-
membered.

ISM IT..

Jimmy Davis for commissioner
Of light and water, Seymour for
mayor and Roys to be sent back
for commissioner of public safety
that is the program of the spe-
cial interests.
That means three votes In the
commission, then city printing can
be boosted back to 40 cents an
inch instead Of cents as it is
now. Then the paying business
can be gradually turned away
from the municipal dock to the
private docks owned by the in
terests, while the Improbable bus
mess can be left for the city. Then
the street railway can do as it
pleases, the corporations can have
a picnic and the poor little voter
can hold the bag and pay the bills.
1t developed at the Railway
Mems club meeting Saturday night
that the men for Seymour are for
Jimmy Davis generally. 1t is
developing every day that the in
terests are determined to get a
commission they can control.

Stiles Gives
His Opinion

Mayor Fawcett secured the
opinion Of Judge Stiles, the city
attorney, on the proposition of
treating in cafes this morning.
The anti-treat ordinance shuts
the cafe off as well as the licensed
barroom, according to the attor-
ney.
There has been a serious dis
pute as to whether the new ordi-
nance would hit the cafe and the
mayor was not sure himself. He
referred 1t to Stiles and in a writ
ten opinion this morning the city
attorney says the cafe comes un-
der the law the same as the bar
room.
"That stops them ALL" said the
mayor as he brought in the opin-
ion of the attorney.

Pantaloon Skirt Is AWfuIIy
Comfy Says One Who Wore 1t

The opinions of the people who
saw the pantaloon skirt in the
Stone-Fisher windows Saturday
differed very widely. They rang
ed from isn't 1t sweet" to ex-
pressions of disgust and some
times almost wrath.
But the woman who wore it in
the window and attracted such a
crowd that traffic was almost
blocked and men climbed the teIe-

garment, says 1t is "great-simpIy

The Literary Club met Jan. 3Oth
ct the home of Mrs. Putnam, with
Mrs. A. A. Stone as leader. Quota
tions from Shakespeare were given in
response to roll call.
The lesson was divided into
three parts-Warwick, Kerilworth
and Stratford- n-Aron. After the
cropping through musty cathedrals of
the past few lessons it was quite a
relief to get into the castle and scenes
made famous by Scott and Shakes
peare and the members attested their
appreciation of the chnage Of scenes
by the rendition of a number of excel
lent papers and discussion on the les
son.
The paper prepared by Miss Grace
Hall on Warwick's connection with
English History" was read by Mrs.
Burpee. The medirsal houses,
Leisester's hospital and ancient gates
of Warwick were described by Mrs.
Light and Mrs. Walker. Mrs. Walt
er Borrill gave word picture of St.
Mary's church after which Mrs. Bur-
pee took the club on a tour of inspec-
tion through Warwick castle.
Kenilworth castle was graphically
described by Mrs. Stewart: and Mrs.
Horton read Scott description of this
castle. Queen Elizabeth's visit to
Kenilworth and her pompous recep-
tion by the Earl of Leicester were
told by Mrs. Beise.
Next was visited the beautiful
Shakespeare land. Mrs. Putnam de-
scribed the beauties of the river Avon.
Papers on "Shakespeare's house,
and "Anne Hathaway's COTTAGE pre-
pared by Mrs. Mahoney and Mrs.
Jacobson were read. Mrs. Cooley
read we'll prepared paper on "The
Church of the Holy Trinity" giving
an excellent description of Shakes
Deare's tomb. Mrs. Cooley also
read paper prepared by Mrs. Torpey
IN the "Shakespeare Memorial Build
ng." A letter from the Pres. Mrs.

How to Clean Vanished Wall Paper

How to Clean Vanished Wall Paper.
Vanished wall paper should never
be cleaned by rubbing with flannel
or cloth. Procure good soft white
wash brush. which can be bought at
any oil store; then have a bucket Of
clean soft warm water in which yell
low soap has been lathered. Dip your
brush into the water, slightly squeeze
it and commence rubbing gently from
the bottom Of the paper, working up
ward. You will thus have your paper
free from smears aud the varnish un-
injured.
