THE POST NTELLCENCER
SCARED Stiff
BY EDWIN J. BROWN

cutting Attorney.
In 1914 the Post-InteIgenccr cartooned Fred c. Brown
dividing blndpg after Brown had testified that it
his practice TO divide contraband booze three The
Postnteigcncer stated then that Fred c. Brown crook
ed incompetent and unfit to hold public office of any kind
especially the office Of Prosecuting Attorney.
The Pr. said: 'The only policy Brown Erred c. has
disclosed that of cutting conraband booze that fell
into his judicial hands three ways. among officials and
cronie training with Johnny Dore accepting the backing Of
John Ccora and dckerng with promised jobs for question
able support thus establishing his unness Now he further
emphasizes ii by willfu lying
\ The P.I said: mo Republican win sacrifice his Re
pubicansm in the least in scratching Brown Erred CO..
King County needs strong Prosecuting Attoneyone
only equipped 10 do his full duty and keep his oath of office
but with the disposition well. Brown Erred CO. is not
such man. and has invited overwhelming defeat by his
ord and behavior
If the Postnteigencer in its contentious IN
1914 that Fred Brown crooked and unfit to hold pub
lie office should take the charges back and admit
Fred c. Brown should not hold public office and it is
one of my duties as awabidng citizen of this county to
challenge the peoples attention TO these facts In fact
the Poslnegencer charges and proof submitted against
Mr. Fred C. Brown in 1914 that caused to file for the
office Of Prosecuting Attorney at this election and
formed Mr. Fred c. Brown when he to for support
before the primary election.
4 When Charity Commissioner James II. Caaghan was
trial for allowing the King County fund to be looted
by human ghous Mr. Gondofo testified that Jim Wood the
present editor of the Observation-Disclosures got some three hun
bred dollars worth of groceries which charged King
Coun fund and paid for out of the funds that
created to take care of the poor.
Jim Wood evidently does not who gets the contra
band booze just he gets the groceries Jim Wood knows
that if the evidence prove defrauded
King County out of three hundred dollars will put him on
trial in the criminal court and prosecute him for his crime
This Jim Wood who is now editor of the Post-Intel-
Eencer has narng around in his editorials for
time and paid little attention He complains that Offend
orias on Fred G. Brown published in 1914 He does not
that the Postntegener had lied about Fred c. Brown
the PostIntegencer but simply makes an effort to SANDER
and Willy for using their editorials and cartoon
The PostIntellgencer also published an editorial Satur
day morning which repeats that Edwin j. Brown is
worthy of public confidence and should be kept out of public
office say that Jim Wood and the are
nv Of
cots poor funds and groceries and bet last dol
lar that Edwin J. Brown will keep them out.
The Post-Intellgencer; man by the name of Conger
brought out of cold storage by Jim Wood every booegge
every blind pigger every CRATER law vioator Al un
din and John Clancy all working to defeat me. There
is a reason.
There is whisky brought into Seattle today since
we have superintendent of the AnSaoon League, than
at any time the voted dry and bottle Of whisky
today will sell for twice much it did year and
this is the reason"
If elected there will be saloons no blind pigs
and bootleggers in Seattle King County and we will
need by the of Conger superntend them
he get work in the shpyards and make an living
and Fred c. Brown will have to hunt different place than
the Antlers Hotel to hang out in on rainy days.
