Recalled Seattle Mayor Is Once More Elected HIRAM C. GILL Seattle, Wash., March 12.—Citizens here can find all the elements of wo man suffrage, "the more issue," the direct primary and the recall, in the recent election of Hiram C. Gill as Mayor of Seattle. Gill was once elect ed Mayor, then recalled, then defeat ed and was finally elected four times a candidate In as many years. Gili is poor and a lawyer with a large fam ily. He smokes a corncob pipe, and | a friendly cartoon of him that includ ied the now famous pipe was repro duced as a campaign emblem. Gill admits this cartoon "made him." In j March, 1910, Gill men alone voting, ; Gill was elected on a platform favor j ing a Red Light District of segregated vice. Six months later the churches began a campaign against the so called vice syndicate. Eight months Bfter Gi'l's election the women ob tained the right to vote and started a recall movement. In February, 1911, less than a year after he had . been elected.. Gill was ousted In favor of G. W. Dillingham, men and women I voting. The recall had worked. The women had voted. The vice Syndicate j was destroyed, their buildings torn | down and gambling suppressed. A j year later.

His Irreproach able funnily life won hint the support of a great number of women, despite .the church opposition to hie candi dacy. / ' &ARRISBURG TELEGRAPIf i 1 NOWONTHEOCEAN 1 f ' t l! | !
