ISLANDS TO UNITE OH
PORT COMMISSIONER
North and South, East and
West Give Support
to Shinn.

Vashon-Maury islanders are ac-
tually more loyal to the island
than some people with a grouch
are willing to admit. A few
sore-heads are always harping on
THE Mason and Dixon" line, y the
north and the south end and the
relative goodness of Tacoma and
Seattle. But when it comes to a
showdown, the people of the two
islands are up at the bat for what
seems best for the common good.
All over the mainland there has
been more or less dissatisfaction
with the way the Port Of Seattle
is being conducted. This spring
the commissioner must be elected
from this district. A few citizens
met at Kent a few days ago and
drafted into line William J. Shiun
as a peoples candidate for this
job. Mr.. Shim has lived at Kent
for forty years. Those who know
him best admire him most. He
isn't a political Office seeker. He
lis a man of hard common sense.
He is fearless. He is in favor of
retrenchment along all lines. He
will never be swept of, his feet by
either soft soap or baby twaddle,
He has consented to become a can
didate for port commissioner. Be
fore the election in May, the lines
will be clearly drawn, Ii viii not
.be question of personality, but a
question as to policy, 1t will be
made plain that the interests of
Vashon-Maury island are far the
best vouchsafed in William J.
Shim. Ii would be a big thing if
Mr.. Shinn could poll 900 of the
vote
Here are some of the petitioners
who are backing him. They
range from Stuckey of Dockton
TO Stewart of Vashon Heights.
Shinn is the News-Record's S
candidate. It's only interest is to
get man from this district on
the board who will do more than
answer roll call and draw his
monthly salary.
