JAMES SCAXOTTO

James Scavotto is a candidate for
reelection to the City Council and
is expected to be one of the high
men on the board when the ballots
are counted in the primary election,
Tuesday, February % ond the gen
eral election, March IA.
Beware of hand-picked candi-
dates, put up for election to the City
Council by special interest groups,
regardless of the connection" is the
warning given by Councilman Sea
votto.
Candidates en- such states must
necessarily be under obligation TO
these groups who help finance their
campaigns and issue special advisory
states. The people of Seattle have a
large field Of good men to pick from
and they shouldn't be picked from
states proposed by special interest
groups. The minute we get into
class government, we'll get into
deeper water. Let's keep free from
this kind of government.
81 have fought for the last three
years as member of the City Coun-
ell for reduction in cur taxes
and got it. Your City budget shows
a cut of more than $4,000,000,
which is plainly shown in the tax
statement you have just received. If
all the other departments of govern
ment-county and state and national
would give US the same kind of sane
economy as practiced in your city
government, you would still have a
greater cut in taxes.

M. J. FEELEY

NJ. J. .FEELEY, real estate man,
is candidate for the City Council
three year term. His business is at
ITO 3rd Avenue. He owns his own
home and has been taxpayer fer
II years. He is a world war vet
eran, was employed by the City of
Seattle for 6 years and for the
past A years has conducted his real
estate insurance and loan business.
Mr.. Feeley says, 81 propose as
solution of the unemployment prob
lem, that the City Of Seattle should
stop letting contracts on any city
improvement and let all such work
be done by the city itself using day
labor. On our city payrolls we have
experienced and we'll qualified en-
gineers, architects and any number
of laborers. Instead of having city
inspectors inspecting the bosses for
the contractors making three or
more bosses for every job, let these
inspectors directly inspect the job
for the City of Seattle using resi-
dents, homeowners and taxpayers to
do the work.
''In regard to the Municipal Rail-
way employees, let them be paid
first from earnings. Why send our
money back to Boston when our
men are under a constant threat of
non-payment of their justly earned
wages. 1t requires experienced OPP
orators and mechanics to operate
street cars. Pay the men and pay
them in cash; otherwise the small
merchant will soon be bankrupt.
81 believe in letting our school
children ride on 21ac fare seven
days week. Mothers could then
enjoy outings at parks and play
fields with their children.

H. K. SOLBERG

H. K. Solberg, candidate for city
councilman was born at Rushford,
Minnesota. He has lived in Seattle
over fifteen years, he has wife and
three children, two of the children
have attended the University and
one is now in grade school.
He is a we'll known Seattle in
surance man. Throughout his life he
has been active in civic affairs.
Although having had many oppor-
tunities to enter politics both in Sc
attic and back in North Dakota he
has never yielded to the many re-
quests until now.
Mr., Solberg feels that at no time
has such an opportunity presented
itself where man can be of such
great service to the people as now,
and it is for that reason he has con-
.cluded to become a candidate for the
City Council.
He advocates fair and impartial
city administration, believing in
fewer promises and more perform
ances. Economy in government
should be uppermost in the minds of
everyone holding public office, Mr..
Solberg stated.
He is capable, fearless and trust
worthy, he is not the type that will
"sell out" but stands ready and
willing to cooperate with others
who are willing to serve the people
honestly.

EARL MlLLIkIN

Mr.. Milliken offers the following
commendable platform to the voters
as reason for gaining there vote.
He stands for. Protection of city
owned utilities, open bidding on city
contracts, preference for Washing
ton products, free sites for new
industries, human unemployment re-
lief, solicitous care for children of
city.
He is against: Domination by
banking interests, excessive tele-
phone rates, secret sessions of city
council, crushing taxation on homes.
Mr.. Milliken wishes to see the
same fair play in our city govern
ment as he is use to demanding in
his officiating of high school sports.

TALK All CLUB FOR SMYRNA
Meeting to be Held in Smyrna High
School Next Monday Evening

Some of the young people around
Smyrna are going to meet together
in the Smyrna High School on
Monday evening, May Is, at 7.30,
to talk about organizing All
club. To be a All member, each
boy and girl selects some line of
work that he or she enjoys most
for project. For the girls who
are "home minded" there is can
ming, clothing or room refurnishing
work; for the boys and farm
minded" girls there is an acre of
corn, quarter of acre of potatoes
or tomatoes or the raising Of pig
or calf or the caring for chickens;
in fact anything that is paying
enterprise on the farm. The club
would probably meet once a month
and at these meetings parents
would be welcome visitors. A All
club could be one of the most wide
awake and worthwhile organiza-
tions in Smyrna for in addition to
a large group of interested young
people, club would have the back
ing of the Smyrna Grange and the
Smyrna Rotary Club. Helen L.
Comstock, county All leader, is
to have some film strips
showing activities of All club
members.

WHY HE FAVORS REPEAL
DIR. Charles NJ. Wharton, Formerly
of Smyrna, Now u. of ID. Instructor

DIR. Charles NJ. Wharton, Formerly
of Smyrna, Now q. of ID. Instructor
DR.. Charles M Wharton, of Do
yer, formerly of Smyrna, gives be
low his reasons for supporting re-
peal Of the 18th Amendment. Doc
tor Wharton is a candidate for
delegate from Kent county to the
Repeal Convention on June oath.
He is professor of physical educa-
tion at the University of Delaware
and is one of Delaware's best
known educators at home and in
other states for his system of
mental and physical training to fit
young people. to attain their high
est capacity for useful and right
living and development Of native
ability. The statement follows:
"Out of 80 years of experience in
the direction of youth, with respon-
sibility for both their mental and
moral training, L had naturally
come to definite conclusions about
the bad effects of alcohol and its
abuses. For this reason / was an
ardent prohibitionist, hoping much
from the universal ban on bever-
age liquor. Not only were my
hopes unrealized but 1 know from
daily contact with the modern en-
vironment under prohibition that
its effects have been completely de-
to youth, both to boys
and girls. When one follows the
individual young person through
his struggles to adjust himself to
the life he is TO lead, and to live
up to the ideals of citizenship and
personal morality that are taught |
him, it would be deserting him in
his time of greatest need not to
stand out against the evils under |
prohibition and to urge upon the
young people temperance and self
control and new respect for those I
ocal laws which they themselves
are soon to have a share in making I
or un-making. That they should \
nave a chance to do this without
he interference Of federal prohibi-
ion, which constitutional history
them is a wrong principle
md which experience teaches them
s definitely a hazard for them and
heir associates, their true friends
must vote for repeal of the 18th
Amendment"
