THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
Howard J. Thompson!
ls Candidate For }
Corporation Counsel 3
“During; the past several years
under its present administration.
the Corporation Counsel‘s office
has become mired in a rut of in
differemze and job holding for the
sake of job holding alone. The
present Corporation Counsel has
neither the will nor the energy t0
pull the mfice up by its bootstraps
and make .it the
1pu b lic service
center that it
I should be. Only,
1 a new blood
5 transfusion C a n
I accomplish th 0
required change"
Those were the
words of Howard
J. Thompson as

courteous and helpful response to1
public inquiry, thorough investi
gation of traffic fatalities and ade—

not be used as an instrument to
oppress city employees or deprive
them of their rights and privi-’
leges. but instead it should be ai
guardian of justice and equityl
Thompsm believes that it is time!
someone, and who better than the;

the new mysterious law of thmi
City ci Seattle. which its citizens‘!
are charged with knowing.

deliveries to Russia have been
worth only twenty million kronor.
The reason why trade has not
been greater is that buyers and
sellers have not been able to agree
on prices. Some‘tenders have. in

to make the exports to Russia
