E. Allen .--NIiSfit
c. Allen Dale, councilman, has the extraor-
dinary distinction of being in general disagree
ment with every character of councilman that
served this city in the past three years.

And there have been many kinds. He does
not harmonic with Erickson. lie does not agree
with Thomson. He is at variance with Moore.
He differs with all the rest of them
Every one is always wrong-except
Dale. He has the phenomenal faculty of
disagreeing with everybody on anything
any time. 1t is frequent occurrence to
find Dale voting alone as against the other
eight councilmen.
He came to the council on the petenSe OF
being an ardent advocate OF municipal ownership.
No greater error existed in the public mind-for
Dale has been for three years the spokesman OF
special utility interests. He has brought up one
scheme after another so absolutely tallaciouS
that even reactionarieS in the council couldn't
vote with him.
In short. Dale doesn't seem 10 GRASP the
idea that he is PUBLIC Seypant.
He is wholly out of tune, and now that he is
up for reelection, voters of Seattle would
do themselves an appreciable service by retiring
him to private life.
