Thanks, Mr.. Justice

j. X. JUSTICE,
Seattle Wash.
Dear Mr.. Justice:
Your canvass of mayoralty possibilities of Seattle
has been huge success. This was your own idea
and mighty glad that you came to The Star
and asked for the space in which to tell your story
You have been fair and honest and impartial. We
think our readers feel that and behalf of them we
thank you for the public service you have rendered.
We have told YOU and will now frankly tell
of the possible candidates for mayor thus far sug-
gested. We admit, however, that you have named
Of the best ones available
1t would be greatly refreshing to The Star if for
once this city could select one other than
politician as mayor-some who had never be-
fore held any political position. There are capable
men Of this type, but Seattle doesn't seem to inspire
or induce them to enter this branch of public service
Your series of articles by giving the people facts,
and by giving them opinions of men of all ranks may
do much to focus the attention of the voters on their
full responsibility
After all is said and done, any city will have just
the kind of mayor that it is entitled to- If they want
the voters of this city place in the mayors char
the most capable man in the city III they don
want such man, they won't get him to be their
mayor In the long run, the caliber of our mayors is
determined entirely by the caliber OF our voters
That being the case, it is necessary to enighten
the voters before you can expect them to improve on
their standard of mayors.
Your service has been doing just that Therefore,
we hope YOU will not hesitate in the future at any
time from now until the next election day to give
the voters, thru The Star all the facts ana all the
information that you can gather.
The Stars columns open to you Just as they
are open to every other citizen who can render pubic
service.
Yours respectfully,
