First, I believe that Point De-

ed in an artificial way. That park
is an ideal natural playground. 1t
is a natural park such as no other
city can hope for. l am not in
favor of continuing the great arti-
ficial improvements there, but
rather In favor of emphasizing the
natural beauties. We should
strive to make the park as natural
as possible.
Second, I am strongly in favor
of developing new park on the
shores of Wapato lake.
Such a park would be to the
South End what Point Defiance
is to the North End. The ground
can be acquired cheaply. 1t is a
beautiful spot, and one that would
be welcomed by every taxpayer
and resident of the southern sec
ton of Tacoma.

Mr.. Craig has been nominated
by a large group of neighbors
along the South Tacoma line. He
has been endorsed by labor or

entire South End in next weeks

A lifelong interest in parks
and Fairgrounds, coupled with a
keen desire to obtain better parks
and more improvements in the
south end of Tacoma, caused A.
M. Craig to enter the race for
park commissioner.
Mr.. Craig Is an electrical con-
tractor. residing at 1902 Cushman
av. He has been a resident of Ia
coma IT years and was a member
OF the first park board organized
here under the metropolitan park
commission law.
Although / do not think that
any deliberate attempt is being
made to discriminate against the
parks in the south end of the city,
1t Is a natural conclusion that
when all members of the park
board are representing the central
adm north sections of Tacoma,
they unconsciously favor those
parks which they are familiar
WITH" says the candidate.
Workers Need Parks
"The working men of Tacoma
live in the southern, eastern and
western parts of the city. l want
to develop the present parks in
these sections, and build up new
parks. for the benefit of the work
ing classes. These families need
parks and Fairgrounds a whole
lot more than the Weather classes
OF our citizens"

Craig was a professor of physics
and chemistry in the university at

Memories

For the second time, Memorial Day sees the
American republic engaged in war-to benefit
humanity.
For the second time, while the heroes who wore
the blue or the gray in 1861 are passing in ever

grandsons, are marching Off to rededlcate In
