Fair grounds in 1909. | went to sea
at an early age and saw consider
able service in transporting troops
across the Atlantic in the First
World War. Later spent many
years in the teaming trade. About
this time unfortunately, | met with
a severe spine injury which neces-
satated many long months of hos
pitalization. Subsequently was APP
pointed to a position as Assistant
Director, with the Joint Council
OF Transfers, which | held for ap-
proximately 1 years. In that capac-
ity my efforts were directed toward
betterment of Employee Employer
relations and toward the develop

my appointment as Jail Captain for
the King County Sheriffs Office,

man have been honest and fair.
My past record speaks for itself.

the expenditure of millions of your

the installation of more adequate
