Under the startling headline of

One of the most quiet and Sc

All candidates we're optimistic

A. V. Fawcett insisted that he

campaigning would at least assure
him a place in the final race.
Burdick said he was put in the

We endorse the Port District plan:
Because Tacoma's need is vital and urgent.
Because the port commissioners will serve without
pay.
Because the most successful ports Of the world
governed by port commissions.
Because the candidates for port commissioner
ships stand pledged to levy not than one tenth
of one mill until a development plan has been ap-
proved by the people
Because the port commission will have no power to
make levy incur Indebtedness, without vote of
the people, in excess of two mills.
Because, under the law, no money can be spent for
improvements of any kind until the people have au-
thorized such expenditure, by majority vote at a
second election.
Because our most experienced progressive and
successful citizens favor a port district.
Because the improvements will be revenue produc-
ing and will belong to the people, for all time.

It would give this board authority over the whole
