Mayor of Seattle, who will be a candidate to succeed himself. He has been twice elected a member e)f the city council and
was elected by his fellow members to fill out Mayor Hanson's unexpired term. In the city council he made an admirable record in the
defense of the common people, that is the people without wealth, and since he has been mayor he has kept the good work up. His
recent visit to AVashington City was in the interest of the masses rather than the classes.
Mayor Fitzgerald issued the following statement, declaring himself independent of any class alliance and seeking re-election
free of any entangling affiliations: .
"In filing my candidacy for mayor of the city of Seattle I subscribed to an oath:
" 'That I was not a candidate of or on account of any promised support of any political party, or committee representing
any such political party.' "
I not only believe in the letter of
this oath, but in the spirit of the
declaration.
"I further declare that I am not
a candidate of a group, or faction,
or class of individuals of our city,
nor have I been promised support
from any such group, faction or
a lass
"I shall welcome support from
soldiers and returned service men,
but am not a candidate for such
a cless.
"I shall welcome support from
laboring mem and women, but am
not a candidate for the labor un
ions, the Triple Alliance or any
such political class or group.
"I shall welcome support from
the business men of the city, but I
am not a candidate of any associ
ation or organization of business in
terests.
"I shall welcome and solicit the
support of all citizens of the city,
in "the true spirit of Americanism;
which is to uphold the instittuions
of American government, with lib
erty and justice guaranteed by the
will and vote of the majority.
"While I hold honorary mem
bership in the Veterans of Foreign
AVars and am proud of that mem
bership, I do not believe that my
membership in that organization,
or my membership in any of the
other* many charitable, fraternal or
civic bodies, entitles me to ele
tion as mayor.
no hesitancy in saying to you that the
colored citizens of the Northwest in par
ticular and the country in general have
an able champion in Cayton's Weekly. Oc
casionally I feel that you are a bit rad

blame you. I am from the state of Vir

and tribulations of the colored man,
hence I can sympathize with yon in your
