THE ELECTION
and The LESSON

The triumph of George H. Walker and Walter j. SAINT
yer the Triple Alliance candidates for the Seattle school
board be expected 1t be expected because these
offered themselves candidates representing the gen.
era public while their opponents candidates of class
making their campaign largely on class prejudice.
The so-caed Triple Alliance poses a class institution
1t challenges the general public And the general public being
boss knowing it is boss, gets mad and fights.
Seattle voters opposed to the election of
grangers railroad than they opposed
to the election of physicians lawyers Es college
professors Time and again they have helped elect union
in this city bit dcdys those union offered themselves
candidates before the hole public and pledged themselves
represent to the best Of their ability the Uhole public
Time and again The Star has successfully supported union
for public office But they had have qualifications for
the office they sought and the chief qualification that
they to the general public not just class
And that should be- The fitness of for office
must not be whether he Elk Mason a union
granger shoemaker automobile manufacturer
BUT WHETHER HE CAN SERVE THE PUBLIC BETTER
THAN HIS OPPONENT class candidate advertses his
prejudice He his unftnes to the general
public and such candidate could not be elected with the sup
port of all the newspapers in the country.
The Star hopes that this election will discredt
those mad leaders whose sinister purpose to be class
warfare The hopes that arganzd labor Seattle will be
able clearly that its welfare is synonymous with
the welfare of the public.
There and for organized labor
array itself against all other classes njures only itself by
doing 1t undemnes the confidence of the general public
by so doing Itakes of itself inefficient minority instead
of serving its real purposethao of being worthwhile part of
the progressive majority.
