After Prima

F2rEND MUNsoN: Inasmuch as you
have already made brief mention of the
Seattle election in the CENSOR, per-
haps a word concerning the final out
come might be of interest to your read
ers.
Few city elections have attracted so
wide an interest and the successful can
didate has been congratulated from
every section of this country as well as
other lands. The municipal elections in
Seattle are non-partisan, an amend
ment to that effect having been passed
two years ago. Each candidate gets
his name on the ballot by petition and
the two highest are nominees at the
election following In this campaign
MIR. Gill, the recall mayor of one year
ago, was cadidate; Mr.. Parish, a bust
ness man, who represented the conser-
vative element, and Mr.. CotteriIl, a
temperance advocate of international
renOwn. Mr.. Parish candidacy aroused
no enthusiasm. as he was third in the
race, with Gill leading his rival by ten
thousand. People in Seattle are fight
ers, but the city was never so aroused
as after the result of the primaries be-
came known. Most of the Parish speak
ers, including myself, Immediately lined
Wy WIN OONkCAAAt oltO q bACNlitCb UEkdll-
zation was perfected and practically re-
suited in house to house canvass. The
result was that Cotterill won by S04.
Mr.. Cotterill is Grand Chief Templar
of the world, and has travelled extern
sively. He is an orator of some note
and has been sought in prohibition fights
conducted by the several states in the
past. The Seattle Times, which has
always been Gill supporter, has this
to say of him: George Cotterill is one
of the most exemplary citizens Seattle
ever raised. He is one of the pro-
foundest students of modern times and
is more widely informed on economic
subjects than any other citizen residing
in Seattle today" Cotterill will give
Seattle sane, liberal and able admin
istration ard there never was better
feeling manifested in the city than that
since hin election.
My reason for supporting Mr. Parish
in the primaries was not that had any
distrust Of Cotterill, but | thought
Parish would be the stronger candidate
and more likely to insure the defeat of
Gill. We all got together after the
primaries, however, INCLUDING THE
FAMILY
Seattle voted So, 0eO. 900 for port de-
velopment purposes. New York capital
lists are here ready to enter into an
agreement for the expenditure of few
million more and the citizens of this
feel that we are on the eve of

We we're greatly pleased today to
receive call from our old neighbors
and friends. E. S. Goodel and his
daughter Kate. We would like to keep
them, but fear they are already looking
longingly in the direction OF the old
badger state. Respectfully yours,

IH the Southeastern railroad yards,
Saturday evening last, John A. Will
helm, Junior, met death without warn
ing, and his life was crushed out IN an
instant. While attempting to couple
two passenger cars the unfortun ate
man was caught between the platforms,
pinning him there for minute or two
before trainmen really realized what
had happened His life went out like
the shutting of candle. Remains were
taken to the undertaking establishment
of c. E. Morley, where an inquest was
held before Justice Pollard; jurors A.
j. Beat, j. H. Sherrick, John Glenn,
Boyd Hall, Percy Eckhardt, A. C. Nor
rison, Jr. Trainmen were sworn and
testified. The jury gave as its verdict
that deceased ''came to his death by
accident, and that no blame attaches
to any member of the train crew or
company"
The father of Wilhelm and General
Manager Waller came from La Crosse
and removed the remains there, Sun
day night, funeral being under auspices
of Spanish war veterans. Wilhelm was
about 35 years old, has a divorced wife
and two children. He has long been a
railroad man, connected with the South
eastern for more than year as brake
man. His father and mother reside in
La Crosse.

TO rHE voTERs OF vIRooUA

In these days you hear much about
Majority Rule" Majority rule Is not
the property of one man or class of
men; and least Of all, no one but them
selves has ever accused license interests
of being sole possessors of virtue ex-
cept where it suited their purpose.
Come back with us about Ia years and
find the record of the man who now
poses as Majority Rule" August J.
Smith was mayor of Viroqua in 1897
and 1898. Our city records were de-
stroyed some years ago, and hence we
must use the memory of men promi-
nent at that time instead Of figures on
record However, these reliable men
tell their recollections so as to make
the following questions necessar and
proper: Is il not a fact that during
August j. Smiths administration an
election on the question of license was
held and that a majority of two in fav-
or of no. license was returnedg Is 1t
not a fact that the council in canvass
ing the vote threw out two votes and
made it tie vote? Did not the coun-
Gil then illegally vote upon the matter
of granting saloons and return tie
vote? Did not Mayor A. J. Smith
break the tie by casting his vote in fav-
or of saloons? Was this Majority
Rule? What happened to license at
the next election.
We contend that August j. Smith is
the wettest kind of a candidate, that
every active advocate of license is sup
porting him, and that the license forces
make no mistake in their candidates.
Vote as you believe and may the major
ity rule. We prefer the men with con-
victions, and therefo ore recommend Prin.
AUGUST +. SMITH for the office of
mayor. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
