Cayton's weekly. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1916-1921, 1920-11-27

Is candidate to succeed himself as port
commissioner of the Port of Seattle, and
Cayton's Weekly is unequivocally for his
reelection because, first of all, he has al
ready made good in that position, and sec
Ondly, because it is always best to let well
enough alone. Had the editor hereof never
known more of Mr.. Lippy than his work
on the commission even then we would be
unqualifedly for his reelection, but we
have known Tom Lippy since 1892 and have
met him in various walks of life and in
every instance we have found him to be
absolutely on the square. Ere he had found
fortune in the far North his time and
talent were given and given freely for the
uplift of his fellowman and that too with
out regard to race, color, creed or class and
since his return from the far North he has

Thomas ppy Candidate for Reelection Port Commissioner

velop the port to a high state of efficiency
and to accomplish that he has eliminated
politics from it's workings. He has sought
to bring to the port every convenience that
would lessen it's operating expenses, and, be
it said to the everlasting credit Of himself
and his co-workers, the city Of Seattle has a
Fort that is not excelled by the port of any
other city in the United States. How near
self-supporting the port is the writer hereof
doth not know, but we venture the assertion
that to the city of Seattle and the county
of King it is a remunerative asset and it
is 50 because it has not been run as
political machine in the interest of either
capital or labor.
No political prostitutes are backing Mr..
Lippy's reelection because it will be an
other way for them or some one they are

given of his money for the betterment Of his
fellowman just as literally as he did Of his
time and talent before he got the money,
and in doing that he has been no respector
of creed, color or condition. Summing it
all up it can be said without fear Of success
full contradiction that Thomas S. Lippy is
Christian gentleman in the fullest and
the most liberal Interpretation of the phrase.
In addition to all this he is a hundred per
cent American and absolutely stands for
America for Americans.
So much for his ''man' requisites, now
let's look briefly into his work as member
of the commission For three years past
he has devoted the greater part of his time
to the commission, the most Of which was

The English department of the High

starting an interest in the study of
local history. The pupils have been
assigned various topics to be written
up as class exercises and when these
are assembled they ought to make a
fairly complete synopsis of the his
tory of Brookings. Many of the facts
in connection with the founding and
growth of our city, ought to be re-
corded now while they are fresh in
the minds of those who have been
active participants in the various ac-
tivities which have combined to build
up the community to its present proud
position. These written exercises
ought to be typewriter in duplicate
or triplicate on paper of uniform size
and copies of each collated and one
set placed in the school library and
another in the public library. A third
set might be submitted to a local
chronicler to be revised, where they
need revision. and to supply omissions
