The Seattle Election

Some Of the results of the Sc
attic election are Of general in
terest, and are given below:
The most remarkable fact is
that out of a total Of $4,000 a
difference Of only 500 was re-
corded, that being Cotterill's ma
jority over Gill.
The socialists elected no can
didates, but note the fact that
they polled 24,341 votes, nearly
10000 more than last year.
The newspapers so scared the
people that they buried the sim
gle tax amendment.
The proposition authorizing a
municipal phone system was
adopted, but it means a fight
every step Of the way before it
can be installed.
The harbor terminal bonds
carried, which means the expen-
diture of millions, and incident
ally is thought to include an
opportunity for graft.
The voters refused to take
away the mayors veto power,
but increased his salary from
$4,000 to $500; also fixed 1915
as minimum days wage for
employees of contracting firms
doing business with the city.

Mr.. McKenna will also be asked by Mr.

to go home because gangs of men lie in

them and kick them because they are

One of these almost excels in brutality
the story of Sullivan. 1t is the story of
lad Of eighteen, who. like Sullivan. was

poor in the East End, was the witness
of cruel attack on this lad by a num-

by number of bullies. who were hurl-

HE was small and appeared almost
a child. He wore a look Of abject
terror.
1.-The men soon became tired of mere
jeering, and made efforts to bring him
out of his refuge. When one dragged
him forward, others kicked him.
Deplorable Sight.
1.-The lad was a deplorable sight
when they had finished with him. He
was covered with blood. and one of his
ears was half torn off,. l think the
worst part Of the business was the
way these men strolled off when they
had finished torturing him
There were police at the end of the
road. but this did not seem to worry
them in the slightest. 1t appears that
the police hesitate to take any action
for fear that it should lead to riot
ing.
