GERS had no legal right 10 seize

that specified merely the possession
OF liquor. His efforts 10 have the
case dismissed and the books kept
from the evidence were unsucccss-
full. however. and they formed tho
basis of the governments case at
the trial
Miss Anna Glvens. sister OF defend
ant Charles A. Owens, was the gov
crnment's principal witness. She
testified that she had made the en-
tries in the books from sales slips
handed her by Piclow.
The books showed that the de-
PENDANTS were doing business Of
approximately $1,000 dag. The
items they recorded were "B."
IS" and &C." Miss Owens re-
fused TO admit that she knew the
letters to stand for bourbon.
Scotch and gin.
These books, which were examined
by the Jury in its deliberations. and
its belief that they recorded boot
logging business. places the former
activities Of the defendant in the
front ranks OF bootlegging activities.
The trial. which began Thursday,
was concluded az $50 Friday evening.
George f. Vanderveer, attorney for
the defense. sprang a surprise when
he rested his case without calling n
witness. He relied on his argument
TO the jury. In which he stressed the
circumstantial nature OF the account
books, and stated that the fact that
group of men had liquor In house
did not constitute conspiracy to
violate liquor laws.

For three-year terms:
RALPH d. NICHOLS.
WILLIAM HICKMAN MOORE.
JOHN E. CARROLL.
For two-year term:
WILLIAM r. CAMPBELL.

The fact that private power interests have assured
Ralph Nichols that he can never hold public office
again in this state, would be sufficient il there
no other reasons why he should be elected
William Hickman Moore stands in about the same
position as does Mr. Nichols with respect to the in
fluences opposing him.
John Carroll as member of the old council, has
been tried and not found wanting That's good bit
to say about city councilman.
William I. Campbell has been in Seattle 26 years.

Seattle for many years, but in spite of the trying
responsibilities Of those two Jobs his West Side neivh

able to get much excited about either of the two
candidates who are running for mayor.
1t doesn't believe that either up ideally

the game, it will be or the other.
Doc Brown, the incumbent, has been in office

had worse ones. Doc hasn't wrecked the city;
neither has he set the world afire with his good

Brown promises staunch advocacy of public owner

What The Star will do, now, in view of its inabil-

man. is to dig into the facts about both men as it
finds them and to lay them bare from day to day.
