right THE POINT

four years before or since AND WITHAL HE
STOOD LIKE ROCK FOR REDUCING CITY
EXPENSES.
In other words he showed himself master of the
situation He had grasp of the business of running
city. And running city is a big business that
needs grasp and experience.
NO MERE THEOLOGICAL STUDENT WITH
OUT EXPERIENCE CAN HANDLE A JOB LIKE
THAT.
ESPECIALLY WOULD HE BE UNTITLED IF
BACKED BY THE SPECIAL INTERESTS WITH
AXES TO GRIND WHEN HE GOES IN
STOEvER HAS SHOWN HIMSELF TO BE A
GREAT BIG JOVIAL BOY IN THE HANDS OF
THE GANG
He announced at the beginning of his campaign
that he would make statement other than he made
in his first speech That speech was his "safe and
sane, progressive, conservative, square deal to all"
effort. He rang the changes on it for three weeks
The politicians back of him suddenly found he was
getting nowhere with it, They told him he must
change it and presto-out he comes with volumin-
GUS platform.
IF THE POLITICAL POT HUNTERS CAN
FORCE STOEVER TO ISSUE PLATFORM
WHEN HE HAS SAID HE WOULD NOT DO so,
THEY CAN FORCE HIM TO DO AS THEY
WANT WHEN HE rs MAYOR.
And they will see to 1t that if he is elected they will
control him against the people and for their benefit
That is all they are in the game for.
There will be no advance for four years in Tacoma
if Stoever is elected :
1T WILL MEAN A CONTINUATION OF THE
PRESENT "LAY IT OVER" POLICY OF SEY.
MOUR WHO, IN THREE YEARS, HAS NOT A
SINGLE THING TO LEAVE TO THE PEOPLE
AS THE RESULT OF HIS ADMINISTRATION
EXCEPT A BURDEN OF TAXES THAT ARE
ALMOST BEYOND THE POWER OF THE PEG
PILE TO PAY
Stoever announced the morning after the prmar
les that he would make no more speeches. Within
week, when his political boosters found he was not
getting anywhere, he changed his mind and has been
out harranguing the people day and night.
He wobbles from one position to another, from one
statement to another, and he would be webbing

The ballots will fall tomorrow to fix the destiny of
Tacoma for four years.
It will be four years of progress with Fawcett; or
four years of nocuous vacuty emptiness and corpor
Taxes jumped Is per cent this year. The people
got nothing for the increase.
Taxes must come down. At the same time an ad-
mnistration must be put in power that will start a
movement for progress in Tacoma
We have had three years of vascillating, talking,
do nothing administration.
It suits Perkins. It pleases the rest of the big
boosters for reactionary policy They have been
able to use the government when they wanted and the
people got nothing
Stoever He is suitable to Perkins and the combina-
tion but where will the people get off with another
Perkins mayor for four years more?
We need change or Tacoma will be distanced in
the race for municipal supremacy.
THE BUSINESS OF RUNNING TACOMA IS
THAT OF RUNNING A SEVERAL MILLION
DOLLAR PROPOSITION. IF YOU HAD A PRI-
VATE BUSINESS INVOLVING MILLIONS A
YEAR WOULD YOU PICK UP AN UNFRAMED,
UNSOPHISTICATED THEOLOGICAL STU
DENT WHO NEVER HAD AN HOUR OF BUSI-
NESS EXPERIENCE IN HIS LIFE, OR WOULD
YOU PICK A BUSINESS MAN WHO HAD
BEEN THROUGH THE GAME, HAD MADE
GOOD FOR HIMSELF AND FOR THE PEOPLE
AS WELL IN FORMER TRIALS?
To answer that question is to vote for and elect A.
V. Fawcett mayor.
He is a businessman. He made good for himself.
He made good for the people as an official Not a
single attack has been made in this whole campaign
against his record mayor of this city for year
three years ago.
WHY?
BECAUSE HE MADE GOOD.
HE HAS BEEN ASSAILED. THE DIRTY AND
SUBSIDIZED PRESS HAS
SOUGHT TO PREJUDICE VOTERS AGAINST
HIM BY PRINTING INNUENDOES AND AFFI-
DAVITS OF $15-A-DAY ARVID RYDSTROM
AND OTHER POLITICAL HACKS ABOUT
OLD STOLEN BALLOT BOXES 18 YEARS AGO
WITH WHICH FAWCETT HAD NOTHING TO
DO, BUT NOT WORD AGAINST WHAT HE
DID FOR THE PEOPLE THREE YEARS AGO IN
ESTABLISHING A MUNICIPAL DOCK, FORC-
ING THE STREET CAR COMPANY TO EXTEND
TO BISMARCK, GIVE FIVE CENT FARE AND
UNIVERSAL TRANSFERS.
Life sized facsimiles of checks given by Fawcett to
a man to work for him years ago and who happened
later to be called as an election judge have been
printed to try to make the people infer that Fawcett
had tried to buy election officials.
Such disreputable tactics deserve nothing but con-
tempt, and Fawcett has shown proper attitude by
ignoring them entirely
HIS RECORD IS BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

TIME HE WAS MAYOR RECENTLY. In one
year he did more than any mayor has done in any
