SEATTLE SINGLE TAX.
Women Votes Put Cotterill In Office
Over 'tOpen Town. Man.

Seattle, Wash, March 6.-In the
election yesterday of George F. Cot
terill as mayor Of Seattle. Socialist
strcngholds rolled up majorities fo:
| Cotterill, who was elected by 665
votes over Hiram C. Gill, the "open
town" candidate.
The Socialist mayorality candidate
!! having been eliminated in the pri-
mary, the party's vote went largely
to Cotterill, who is single tax ad-
vocate.
A proposition authorizing the mu-
nicipal telephone system carried, but
| q municipal newspaper project was
defeated, as were all the Socialist
candidates.
Cotterill, the mayor-elect. is wide
I ly known as the national head of
the Independent Order Of Good Temp
lars. He also has national prOmi-
nence as a prohibition speaker.
When the campaign following the
primaries of Feb. 10 was begun. no
practical politician here thought that
Cotterill had chance to win, owing
to his views in favor Of single tax,
municipal ownership and prohibition.
In the last week, however, the fight
became q repetition OF that of last
iyear, when Gill was recalled from
the Office OF mayor by the vctcs of
the newly enfranchised women.
The women and the churches took
an active part yesterday, asserting
Gill's election would mean the restor-
alton of the gambling and vice dis
tricts.

cations for registration, aggregatine
$4,000 and comprising the most i'm
portant part of the records of the

There was CONSERVATION in the
office when the fact became known
and a diligent search was made to
be sure that they had not been mis-
placed. When it became known
that the records actually had been
removed from the Office, Mr. Leche
laid the matter before the District
Attorney, with the request that that
official take the proper steps, name
ly, to lay it before the grand jury for
a thorough investigation. This Mr..
Adams promptly agreed to do, and
went further by beginning a probe
70 learn what he could Of the mys-
terious abstraction of the records.

ber) have been removed from the Of
ice. I, therefore request that you
will Immediately lay this matter be-
fore the grand jury in order that it
may be thoroughly investigated and
responsibility determined"

you began examination fo the records
lof voters this morning. and that you
found that all of the original appli-
cations of voters for registry, num-
bering approximately $4,000, have
disappeared from said Office, and re-
IQuesting that I, as District Attorney

lily lay this matter before the grand
Jury and have the responsibility de-
Itermined.

having been to all of them early
Tuesday morning and found them all

to our satisfaction we will make no
objection to dismissing the injunc-
