Mai. Douglas said:
Some Of you may wonder why one
whom you have honorcd by electing
10 public office should depart from
the usual custom OF county officials
20 stay out Of politics. and take the
stump in behalf Of one OF the mayor
atty candidates. The answer is sim.
Pile At several recent meetings. DR..
Brown. following hts habit % throw.
ing poison gas IN every direction. has
gone out OF his way TO cast insinua-
tons at me and my office. have
never yet teen accused Of running
away from a fight. and don't intend
60 run away from this ono. I do not
care whether It II good politics for
me to DO here or not. I am here. not
as a matter % expediency. but az a
matter OF principle.
"a man who spends his life svad.
ing IN. law and showing dlsre=psct
for II L. not a man 10 b. trusted when
he promises a regime OF law enforce
uient. Reform should begin at home.
Dr. Brown should initiate his law en-
sorcement program by obeying the
law himself.
NO, only has Brown himself hen
convicted Of prncticiug dentistry
withou, a license. but In his office a
careful scheme OF cam0ufinKe was
adopted 10 prevent the officers OF the
law AAbai tFNNtAfN "NftNhNF tl|h
which 20 prosecute HIS employees who
were violating the law.
"pr Brown now says that. II
elected mayor. he will clean up the
town. Yet the records show that in
1918 when. AZ a war measure. ], be
came necessary 20 take stringent
steps to accomplish that end. and the
good people Of this city united 20
wipe out the stigma tina: had been
placed on the fair name OF Seattle.
DR. Brown did more TO thwart that
movement than any other single In
diyidual In the city. n he II sincere
in his statements about cleaning up
the town. why did he fail TO help
clean up the town at that time
Shall ne be judged by his words or
his deeds7
ION the other hand. Dan r.andou
has served a. a state senator for the
past / 2 years. on every bill where a
moral issue has been presented. he
has voted right Every single piece
OF clean. progressive. forward look.
ing legislation has found a champion
in Senator I.andon.
Two years ago the peopl. OF this
county did me the great honor Of
eiecting me prosecuting attorney over
Dr. Brown by a vote OF $1,000 10
$4,000. Since then my deputies and
have been toilinR morning. noon
and night in our efforts TO make this
community n better. cleaner. safer
place In which 20 live. In that effort
would expect more cooperation
and assistance from the hands OF
Dan Landon. the law maker. than
from the hands OF Dr. Brown. the
law -breaker.
''Dr. Brown promises you a five
cent street car fare. Now, IN a can
didnte for the council should prom.
Use you that. he might vote for
the proposition: but the mayor does
not even have one vote. SO when
Dr. Brown promises you fiye-cent
fare he il promising you something
which he knows he cannot deliver.
"Hs promises TO cut your taxes
in half during his first term in Of
flee. Now that Is sheer nonsense
and he knows II is nonsense. In
the first place. he has no power 20
abolish an office. but II he did
have that power. and should abolish
every office which the mayor fills
by appointment. " would not re-
duce your taxes one small part OF
what he promises.
''Ife says that he will not only
reduce the city taxes. but the
county taxes. and the school taxes.
and the port taxes. and the state
taxes. In order TO get votes In
this campaign. he has promised
everything from building the Colum.
bia Basin irrigation project TO reduc.
ing the price OF gooseberries In
Madagascar.
'Extravagant promises OF that
nature are nothing more or less
than dishonest talk-molaaaes to
catch flies. II is for you TO decide
whether you prefer honest achieve
ment or dishonest talk as basis
upon which TO choose a mayor.
Or. Brown says that he will
throw out the political ircurables
Wen. he ought to know one when he
