election and of the port election
lis forgotten, or deliberately
ignored, by factional rule lead
ers. So once more Seattle must meet this issue.
be final, Seattle people by their votes must de-
clare against class dictatorship.
That is the only issue of the city election. It
is not question of personalities 1t is not
question of one man as against another. The
question is fundamental. 1t is whether this city
shall be governed by factional mayor and
factional council or whether it shall be gov
erned by a mayor and council responsible to
ALL the people.
On the one hand we have the factional can
didate for mayor, tho he represents not even
all of his socalled class. Plainly the right think
ing part of labor is not being led again into this
needless class warfare. The Same faction, too,
is persisting in putting its brand upon certain
council candidates.
On the other hand, Mayor c. B. Fitzgerald has
been for six years representative of all the
people of Seattle, both as a councilman and as
a mayor. His candidacy in previous years and
now represents opposition to the class rule idea
of government. He represents no special
group, but all groups. Elected from Ballard to
the council, his votes have come as largely from
labor as from any other source. He seeks re-
election on the same basis support from ALL
the people, and offering when elected RESPONSE
bility to ALL the people. He is ALL the peo-
Piles candidate. He accepts the challenge of
the class rule faction, yet his candidacy offers
that faction the same protection the same rep
resentation, that it offers every other class. So
must the city as whole accept the challenge
of the class rule faction.
There are no other issues, and on this big issue
Mayor Fitzgerald is the logical candidate on
whom Seattle voters must unite.

Alaskans are too busy right at this time of the year trying to make a .lvmg under the many restrictions placed upon the Territory, to spare the time to go to Seattle to talk to men who don't show enough interest in the subject under discus sion to make am examination
 If they would come up into the Territory we cam show them lot of things and, mci- dcutally, the trip will do them good The sea voyage will brush the cobwebs out of their brains.

ALASKA WOOD PULP

First steps have been taken toward the utilization of Alaska timber for pap0- making. according to Portland officials in inc district forcster's service, through he askmg of bids on lO0OOOO0O feet of timber in the territory.
 The timber embraces spruce, red cedar Alaska cedar Western hcmIock and other species that are suitable for the mauutac- mc of pulp material Minimum prices of Sl for spruce and cedar and 90 cents for hcmlocl and other species are to be charged.
 The confident statement is made that 'witb fair equipment this timber would run a pulp mill for about sixteen years. following which period adjacent timber "m mcomtcd millions of feet" would still be available.
 However. the call for bids provides that. rates for the timber are to be readiustcd every five years. It is upon this rock thaI other plans for utilizing the Alaska woods in the manufacture of paper pulp have come to grief

 Were it possible for concern to go into Alaska and by charging exorbitaut prices make a big "clcan up, capital might be induced to take a gamblers chance; but fortunately, for the press of the Pacific Coast and elsewhere. available supplies elsewhere of timber suitable for pulp pur- poses render such a course impossible.
