Candidate Seattle
Does Not Want
(EDITORIAL)
An excited citizen dashed into The Star office.
"Ah!" he said. "Ah! I have a story for you. It's
big 1 ! BIG! The biggest "
"Just a minute," we said. "Wait until we get our
pencil and paper at hand. Now then, proceed!"
"It's the biggest thing you could do for Seattle! Why,
this is by all means the BIGCKST STORY ■ V
"Well, what is it? l>et's have, it," we urged.
"Come into the private office." said the man. "I
want to see what you think about it."
The door was carefully closed, and the excited man,
who had now calmed down, tho his eyes still shone
with the light of miraculous discovery and vision, came
close to the editorial ear and whispered:
"I've found the right mail to be mayor of Seattle,"
he miyi. "Why, it'a wonderful "
We clutched him by the coat collar am^-4—nnded
that he impart to on that Ntartlinß bit of news. ''Who?"
we ga.*ped. "Who might that be?"
"Ah," he said. "Ah. that's what I'm coming to. But
first 1 want to let you in on the secret. He will win.
He cannot be beaten. Why, with The Star's support, he
will go over BIG—BIG—BIG. Wonderful thing lor
the city, too!"
We again demanded the marvel candidate's name.
But. the hot-shot politician who faced us continued his
harangue. Said he:
'This man has the support of and he named
a name some politicians conjure with.
"He'll come out on a platform for absolute prohibition.
He'll announce he is going to jail every single boot
legger in the city. He'll fight the telephone company
and make them reduce rates. He'll cut the carfares
to five cents and maybe lower than that. He'll fight
the gas company and all the rest. He'll make a big hit
everywhere. He'll get the votes of the women.
He'll "
After thr man had left, we remembered that he had
not told u* the mime of this phenom candidate. Hut,
no matter. We knew it anyway. This cure-all candi*
date's name is BUNK! Just plain, every-day IM'-N-K!
That's the name of every candidate who promises all
these things simply to get the votes.
Folks, we don't want BUNK for mayor of Seattle
—thin year.
We want a man who is HONEST, who is ABIJE, who
is FKAKLESS, who is PROGRESSIVE! And the man
won't promise to do a lot of things that nil of us who
stop to think for a minute know he cannot do and prol>-
ably doesn't intend to try. Honesty is the very first
requisite of all. The candidate who springs a milk and
honey platform filled with luscious pledges is a liar
and a faker at the very outset, and we want none of
him. A candidate who honestly pledge* himself to do
the things that are impossible doesn't know enough
to be mayor of Seattle.
I.et this he a gentle hint to all candidates who may
seek vour votes. Judge them carefully but VOTE
AGAINST MR. BUNK! lie won't do.

Portland Clergymen
Repeat Denunciation
of Juvenile Dances
PORTLAND. Jan. J5 —Portia nd
clergyraeo, opponent* of dundnj in
the public arhoAl* here, who were In
vtted to present to the achool board
n,nn< k, dfilfn and RffldaviU In sup
port of their contention that the
achool dance* are Immoral. Indecent,
and ahould be prohibited, reiterat.-d
these claims to the ecbool board In
writing today.
The charges were first made at a
Joint meeting of the achool board and
the clergymen. They were repeated
at several meeting* and at a sea
mon of the Civic league.
No affidavit*, namea or date* were
auhmltted with the letter of reitera
tion, because the clergymen mainly
of the Methodist ami Baptist
churches, "refuge to allow pernon* to
become humiliated by citing apeclflc
Instances' - and "do not care to nub
vert the main Issue for the purpose
of abetting a coraet controversy.'*
The matn issue. according to the
opponent A of school dancing, is that
while school buildings are refused to
Bible readers and discussions of a
controversial nature, they are
thrown open to dances, despite the
conscientious of many tax
payers to this form of recreation.
The letter emphasises four main
arguments against dancing in the
public schools:
1. I>aming Is contributory to im
morality, and is a sex stimulus when
induged In by the very young, jim in
the case of grammar achool dances
particularly.
2. The school dance projects the
child who would escape this dangei*
ous experiment into the midst of it
years before it would come normally.
3. The public school should not la*
so conducted a.s to brcuk down the
morale that Christian parents sees
to maintain in their home life.
4 Seven eighths of the hlg*i
schools and many of the grammar
schools are left without adequate
danoe supervision, except a volun
tary group of patronesses, many of
whom do not attend.
The "cornet controversy" shunned
by the clergymen grew out of charges
Hamer Indicted by •
Federal Grand Jury
AB. Hamer, federal narcotic
sleuth, was Indicted by the federal
[grand Jury Wednesday morning on
charges of having secured and dis
pensed dope. His ball was fixed at
$l,OOO. which was Immediately fur
nished.
llamer was arrested last week by
department of Justice operatives, af
tor Mae Butchart, 1R year old nar
cotic addict, had derlared that he
had given her nope in exchange for
her favors.

That is to say, are you registered? For you cannot sign
an initiative petition and you cannot vote until you are
registered.
Why not attend to this important duty today?
TWO CENTS IN SEATTLE
that at certain dance*, date* not giv
en. girl* checked their stays.
Member* of the school board this
morning declared that the clergymen
had failed to prove threlr claims, that
they "had started something they
colud not finish," gnd that their
charge* had been too sweeping to be
possible of proof.
The school l>oard, which woula
have taken definite action had tne
charge* l>een considered In any way
substantiated, will now consider the
dance incident closed, members de
clared.

000 deficit In the next two years.
In these circumstances. Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon warns, econ«
