LAST OF CITY
BOSSES DEAD

CINCINNATI, May 20.-George
B. Cox, capitalist. theatrical mag
nate and former republican politi-
cal leader of Cincinnati, died at
his home here.
Death was due primarily to a
stroke of paralysis, which Cox
suffered after returning from a
theater with his wife.
Cox was the last of the munici-
pal bosses. He himself acknowl-
edged the title.
From bootblaek and butchers
boy, he rose until he became the
most powerful man in the govern
ment OF Ohio, naming mayors.
judges, congressman, governors.
and having much to do with the
fortunes OF presidents.
He took pride in his achieve
ments. In a rare moment of talk
atlyeness he once said.
Il evolved into a boss because
of my peculiar fitness. ! have
never made a dollar out of poll
ties. ! have seen to it that the
city had the right kind of men to
serve it. | have eliminated the
use OF big sums for election pur-
poses.
Il take great pride in my
achievements of taking the
schools and the fire and police de-
partments out of politics, This
was my first work after | became
boss OF Cincinnati.
1T was through my efforts
that Cincinnati obtained its water
works. but my chief work as boss
had been in preventing graft and
seeing that the city has the right
men to serve it. A boss is not
necessarily a public enemy"

Should Mayor A. V. Fawcett
be candidate for congress?
Wide differences OF opinion are
expressed in the great piles of
mail that come each day to The
Times in response to the prize
contest announced this week for
answers to the question.
Many people believe that the
mayor would be an ideal repre-
sentative of Southwestern WASH
ington. at the government capt.
toll.
Others say that the mayor is
too excitable, too. radical to fairly
represent his constituents. One
man today wrote that he didn't
think Faweett would make a good
representative, but that he would
be glad to vote for him merely
to get rid of him at the city hall.
What do you think about the
mayors possible candidacy? Faw-
cett has been urged by many per-
sons to run for the office of con-
gresham. He is undecided on
the question. He wants to know
the sentiment of Tacoma and of
the fifth congressional district.
The Times has offered 13
prizes for the best letters. Two
prizes of 81 each will be given
for the letters in which are adj
vanced the most logical argu-
ments on each side of the ques-
ton. There are eight prizes of
81 each for the eight next best
letters on each side of the argu-
ment.
Here are some of the letters
received in today's MALL

Is This One a Knock
or a Boost?

Editor Tacoma Times:
do not know why Mayor Faw-
cett wants to run for congress,
unless 1t is his craving for politi-
cal power.
He has done many good, pro-
gressive things while mayor of
Tacoma, and has made lots of
friends, but he has also made
many enemies. These enemies
are powerful enough to kill his
ambition for further honors.
1t We could rid the city hall of
Mayor Fawcett by electing him
to congress, would vote for
him. Because | think we need a
broader gauge man in the mayor 8
office, and | do not think that
Tacoma would be any worse off
with Fawcett representing this
district than with Johnson.
Fawcett's idea of politics is to
provide jobs for his friends, and
do harm to his enemies. That old
idea will not work at Washing
ton. The mayor would get mad
and sulk after he found that he
could not boss the house of rep
resentatives the way he wanted
| to.
The mayor is getting old and
childish. II It will crafty his
wish, and Will help us to put a
REGULAR MAN in the city hall,
let's elect him congressman.
Yours truly,
JOHN POEBE,
Glenavon, Wash.
Formerly of Taeoma.)
Editor The Times:
BY all means, II not, why not,
Mayor Fawcett for congress? Has
he not proved himself tit to he
one of our lawmakers? He is a
builder and a man of the masses.
What we need in congress is
more representative of the peo-
pie. Some more Lincolns, etc.
Not office-sekers and those of the
interests. Mayor Fawcett has
proven to be level-headed, pro-
gressive and NOT too radical.
Who was 1t first introduced the
no-treating law, which people all
over the T. S. know about?
Who was II came back after he
was recalled?
Who is it who is not seeking
the office?
Who is it who could win in a
walk?
Why, it's Fawcett.
Why, he would get the republic
cans, because he is republican
politically, the democrats by be-
ing a democrat personally, the So
cialists' vote by being social
ist practically, and the prohibit
tlonists morally.
