Mccartney declared.
Advocating revision Of building
codes to encourage lower priced
homes and home modernization,
McCaffrey said home construction
is tagging and concentrated cam
paign must be gotten under way
to fill Seattle's immediate needs.
He also advocates better coordina-
ton of traffic control, and for
more adequate police protection.
"Seattle's police force is drasti-
cally undermined and must be
entirely rejuvenated to give the
city the protection it is entitled to.
The police department must be
taken out of politics and operated
on an impartial basis" McCaffrey
said.
Development of more public re-
irrational facilities, parks, play
grounds and swimming pools in the
suburban districts, as well as a
municipal mooring basin for small
craft, outside the Ballard locks is
part of McCaffrey's promotional
platform in building future
greater Seattle.
There is a lot to be done to
put Seattle ON the map" McCaf-
frey said, "but I believe my ex-
perience as a city councilman and
a business man in this city for
the past twenty-five years makes
me well fitted for the job ahead"
Frank McCaffrey is proprietor
of printing and publishing bust
ness, 81 years old, married, has
one daughter and resides at 5917

mary election February 26, on
Wednesday issued this statement
on his candidacy:
In more than 26 years as a
member of the Tacoma police de-
partment. as chief of police and as
commissioner of public safety, my
aim always has been to- serve the
public in a friendly. courteous and
efficient manner
my desire to be or service to
the citizens of Tacoma has not
been changed between my first
duties as a patrolman in 1917, be-
fore a leave of absence to serve
in with the United States Army in
the First World War. and direc-
ton of the public safety depart
aren't during almost all of the
American participation in World
War II.
And in seeking reelection to the
post as the head of the police and
fire departments, I look forward
to continued service to the citizens
of Tacoma on the same high
standards of courtesy efficiency
and fair play that have existed
during the last four years.
The record of the public safety
department during the last four
years has been outstanding despite
the critical problems caused by
war conditions.
Intelligent Direction
This record was achieved
largely through intelligent direc-
ton of the activities of the de-
partment, the complete coopera-
ton of the law-abiding citizens o.
Tacoma and the unstinting loyalty
of policemen and firemen. many
of whom gave countless hours of
their time without hope of reward
or compensation.
During my administration. CO.
operation between the public safe
ty and public works departments
and the state highway department
brought about solution of the
pressing traffic problems which
faced the city during the last four
years, in so far as it was possible
under war conditions.
During a period that crime was
rampant in many cities of the
United States. Tacoma was rela-
lively free from serious criminal
activities, despite a war swollen
population. The crime record of
Tacoma during war years will be
found TO have been much lower
than other cities of similar size
or located in a center of war in
dustry and troop activity.
Says Morale High
The morale of the public safe
ty department. both police and fire
divisions, is higher today than
at any time in the last 25 years
because fair administration has
eliminated politics and clques.
Never before in the history of
Tacoma has there been so COM
pleterharmony between the depart
ments and law enforcement agen-
eies outside of Tacoma, whether
municipal. state Of federal.
Experience l have gained dur
+ ing the last four years in the
commissioners office will, l be-
lieve, prove TO be invaluable in
the years TO come"

THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
Frank Mccartney:
Yet Us Put Seattle On The Maj"

Seattle is beginning a new
era and it is the duty of the next
mayor to build for future great
ness by promoting our city as an
ideal place to live and work and
play. Frank Mccartney, former
city councilman, prominent bust
ness man and candidate for mayor
in the Forthcoming City elections,
said today.
Seattle with her natural geo.
graphic set-up. has failed to take
advantage of her capital assets.
We have the resources to promote
our city as an industrial center, a
World air and seaport and as a
natural playground for tourist pro-
motion.
THE next mayor should have a
plan for overall progress. He
should have an understanding of
the problems of city operation,
preparation of a budget and SER
vice operations.
Seattle needs an aggressive
program in city administration if
she is to forge ahead in this post
war era. Labor and management
must cooperate, and take-home pay
must be sufficient to purchase an
adequate living. For industry to
argue that it can't pay on the
basis of better standard of liv-
ing is merely killing off the ability
of workers-customers to buy more
goods so more goods can be made
coma. He is married and has
