Riddell Talks Before
Workmen Audiences

Employees of the Washington
Manufacturing Co. heard c. NJ.
Riddell, candidate for mayor on
the primary ballot, tell Friday
noon why his experience on the
county council of defense and his
knowledge of conditions in Taco
ma gained from his Investigations
as member of the board, led him
into the mayoralty contest.
The candidate also found OPP
portunity to reply to reports
which he said he found are in cid
eulation, that he is corporation
lawyer and attorney for employ
ers' associations, which he said
had more humor in them than
their originators probably under
stood.
Mr.. Riddell spoke Thursday ev-
ening in the South Tacoma Boost
ers' club hall, with other candi-
dates, including Fred Shoemaker.
John Meads and James Bachelor,
candidates for commissionerships.
81 am not in this contest as a
politician" Mr.. Riddell told his
audience today. 1T is not time
now that we can be politicians. We
must all be just loyal citizens. 1t
is a time for work and a time
for eternal vigilance. The man
who becomes mayor for the next
two years should expect to be on
the job early and late.
81 say this because of the ex-
perience I have gained during the
year / have now served on the
county council of defense. have
been devoting a large share OF my
time to the work of the council,
without one cent of recompense.
Even the expenses connected with
the work I have borne out Of my
own pocket. I never expect to get
1t back and I don't want 1t back
In doing the work I have gained
an insight into some of the
things we have got to do here in
Tacoma, and ! want to be in the
position to help do those things.
This city is my home. I have
lived here since 1888. | think
have about as much interest in Ia
coma as anyone here. love Ia
coma. I was married here. My
children have been born here.
My sons have been schooled here
and one of them is now preparing
for training to help win the war.
1t is my desire to do what l can
here to keep Tacoma clean, to
keep 1t fit for our soldiers and
build up a greater CITY,"

POLITICS
Candidates Discuss
Health Conditions

4OSkAVx4
Edwin w. Beedle, candidate for
mayor. started something when he
told women of the Presidents
Council, at the Women's club
house, Thursday afternoon, that
he DID not believe there was any
political issue confronting the can
didates at the coming election.
George w. Thompson and c. NJ.
Riddell, the other candidates on
the program, both landed hard on
Beedle's statement, uniting in
their declaration that the health
condition of Tacoma is one of the
biggest issues that ever faced the
people.
Riddell told the women that Ia
coma had recently faced condi-
ton where 1t had to clean up or
be quarantined by the governs
ment. He declared that no pub
lie official should ever allow a
city to face such a risk, and prom
Used that II he were elected he
would put the most capable man
he could obtain in the health Of
flee. and give him complete au-
thority to "go the limit" towards
keeping the city healthy.
Thompson made the same prom
Use. He also said that his ex-
perience as deputy prosecutor
had given him deep insight into
municipal affairs and that, altho
he was the youngest of all can
didates in the race, he believed
himself qualified to face any is
sue.
Thompson told the women that
he had handled all liquor prose-
cution during the last tw oeyars,
and that he felt proud of his rec
ord of fighting the bootlegger and
blind pigger.
Beedle won applause when he
told the women that he would do
his best, if elected, to establish
a farmers market here, where
producer and consumer could deal
directly.

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT
 CONFERS WITH WOMEN.

The Government conference held re- gently at Ottawa marks an epoch for Canadian women, in the opinion of "The Woman's Century" the official organ of the National Council of Women in Canada.
 The invitation to conf"r and a'i- wise with the Committee Of the War Cabinet and to reconsider plans for wider participation of women in nec- essary war work" means more than merely the first conference between women and the Government; it fore shadows greater things to come. when women shall be an integral and indis- pensable part of Government itself,' says an editorial in the magazine named. "The keynote of the confer ence was cooperation. Each Minister in turn laid emphasis upon cooperation between all clements of society, and the women have come away with at least one lesson we'll learned: To sink differences and get together
 Without being too prophetic one msy hcpe-since woman has bee,l appointed to the Board of Registra- ten and principle thus established that ill the near future women may have even closer touch with depart ments through other appointments, thus creating further valuable links between the Government and those organized bodies of women who are so truly carrying out the Govern ment's desires and suggestions foI war purposes-aild not for war pur poses alone. for there is no depart gent in which women are not in tcrested.
