Revelle For Council

The "all-out attack" on labor
engineered by an extremist Repub-
lican group in the current polit-
ical campaign is extremely dam
gerous, not only to efficient local
government but to popular unity,
good will and cooperation in the
best interests of complex war and
defense efforts.
So declared Council Paul Revelle
in speeches charging his oppon-
ent with "gross and fantastic mis-
representation of the facts"
my opponent has no war record
of any kind, either in this or the
previous war, whereas I served my
country as a soldier in World War
I, but am now a leader in Civilian
Defense activities" Revelle said.
my opponent, moreover, knows
but very little, if anything, about
government or city affairs, as fur
ther proved by his ridiculous state
ments. 1 have achieved an honor

Have You A Lost Or
|Lapsed Insurance
Policy?

THE NATIONAL INSURANCE
RESEARCH COUN GIL, 1927
SMITH TOWER, SEATTLE, has
performed many useful services
for persons who have lapsed or
lost life insurance in their families.
The service consists of investiga-
ton of policies, which have been
dropped, to determine values in
them. Whether or not the insured
person Is living or has passed on
makes no difference in their eff
fort. In case there are no values
found to exist in the policies all
papers are returned with no
charge. In case values are deter
mined to be in the policies a rea-
sonable charge is made for the
service.
Insurance has been obtained by
the interested persons on insured
individuals long disappeared and
in policies long lost.
Over a period of several years
several thousand lapsed policy
holders have been benefited by
reliable service by this concern.

Levine Leads
In Council Race;
Thanks Voters

'Heartfelt appreciation" was ex-
pressed by City Council president
David Levine after he polled the
highest vote of all candidates in
the primary election.
The big Levine vote of more
than $4,000 was an expression of
appreciation by all groups of cit
liens for Levine's long record of
honest, intelligent and faithful
service in the City Council, his
friends asserted.
Levine's outstanding strength at
the polls, it was pointed out, is
due simply to his consistent record
of courageous adherence to good
government principles of economy
and maximum efficiency, plus the
fact that Levine has always held
the good will and respect of la

Eternal Vigilance
Alone Will Win
Says Judge Devin

The great majority of voters in
Seattle = those who cannot be
bought or controlled-those who
voted against the present con-
trolled city administration in the
primary election" face a common
task at the polls next Tuesday,
March 10, Judge William F. Devin
declared this week.
Judge Devin, who was nomin-
ated for mayor with lead of ten
thousand votes over his opponent,
Earl Millikin, warned that "the
powers which control the mayor
will resort to every political trick
and strategy before the final cleo
ton"
do not relax now, feeling that
the battle is won because of the
vote cast in the primary election, I"
he said, You and I are fighting
forces which are powerful. They
have unlimited funds, and are able
to buy very influential support to
hire paid workers to cover the
city.
These self seeking forces will
never cease to work, and today
they are hoping for two things.
''They hope you will all be over
confident and believe it is not
necessary to work further. They
hope to divert your attention by
saying untruthful things about me
in an attempt to force you to over
look the mistakes in the record
of their candidate.
DO not forget that the issue in
this campaign is exactly the same
as it was before the primary cleo
ton. 1t boils down to one plain,
simple question: Do you want
government by all the people?
ask your vote on that principle.
Or do you want controlled gov
eminent, and mayor who does
the bidding of a small, selfish, and
powerful group? That is what you
have had for the eleven months
in which Earl Millikin has been
mayor.

Hugh DeLacy Backed By Labor, Civic,
Pension And Progressive Forces

The Japanese shells at Santa
Barbara, California, mean that Sc
attic must have strong, united
good and efficient city government
representing all the people, it is
declared by Hugh DeLacy, nom
inee for one of the three year city
council terms.
1.-THE one issue in the city cam
paign, the one issue confronting
every American is the winning of
the war;" DeLacy said. "Our city
government can make signific-
ant contribution towards victory
by stopping profiteering, setting
fair rents, providing housing and
insuring transportation.
| 1.-THE people of Seattle, by their
free ballots, can make our city a
real fortress of democracy. This
can be done by the election of pub
lie officials who stand for living
wages, health centers, nurseries
for children of working mothers,
unlimited war production and pat
riotic unity behind our country's
war effort"
DeLacy declared that as q public
official and as citizen he has
always fought every form of ap-
peasement, reaction and fascism."
"As a city councilman" he add
ed, 81 picketed shipments of scrap
iron and oil to Japan, both to help
stop these deadly cargoes, and to
arouse public opinion to the men,
ace of Japanese militarism and
Hitlerism.

Seattle is the most vulnerable city
in the U. S. today, owing to our
geographic position and access to

but his sponsor is now exposed.
Beck is correct when he says
that labor has not controlled the

THAT is the reason they have

all major factors in citizen morale
during the war emergency.

Seven white persons and seven

included five policemen and a

White pickets surrounded the

awaited arrival of trucks carrying
Negroes furniture. The first flare

quickly when 16 mounted patrol

Mayor Jeffries said he would go
to Washington Monday to discuss
the problem with federal housing
authorities who have held to their
decision that the 200-unit dwell
ing, known as the Sojourning
Truth project, is for Negro occu-
pancy. The federal government
originally designated the unit for
Negroes, then changed its mind
and specified white occupancy. FL
nally, the decision was switched
back to Negro occupancy.
