while Stoever talks brilliant
ly of the on-coming millions, | am
interested in knowing what we
are going to do for the people of
Tacoma right now" he said. II
have heard him speak several
times, yet never have | been able
to find out his views on any mat
ter pertaining to city government.
when the municipal dock
fight was on in this city did you
hear his voice for or against it?
When the agitation for the tide
flats carline or the fight for civil
service was on, did you hear his
voice for or against them?
Il am not attacking Mr.. Stoev-

titled to know the views OF every
man upon these various matters;
for only by his record in the past
can you Judge what kind of an
official he will be in the future. "
