FOR VACANCY

A determined effort to Sc
cure the election of Mrs. z.

city council caused by the
death Of Thos. A. Parish will
be made by women Of Seattle.
Today a plan Of organiza-

than 100 women, and probably
many more, TO lay before the
members Of that body their
claim that the women OF Sc
attic are entitled TO direct rep
rescntation on the city's gov
erning body.
During the past few days there
has grown up, not only among the
women. but also among the men, a
sentiment that woman sitting
with Seattle's city council would be
of benefit. II IL not unlikely that
the plea to be made to the council
by the women on Monday will be
indorsed by the presence OF many
men.
In any event, the women are de-
termined TO make a fight for recog-
milton. They will 20 to the council
