Two of them?Judge Richard Winsor and E. Shorrock?- have been on the l>oard for a number of years. Winsor is a liberal, Shorrock is conservative. The other two candidates are Carl E. Croson and Dr. E. J. Brown. The Star confesses a bit of embarrassment in indorsing the candidacy of Mr. Croson, because he has lieen retained on several occasions by The Star as it| attorney. The Star, however, had nothing to do with Mr. Croson's becoming a candidate. It did not know he was in the race, or intended to get into the race, until after he had filed at the request lof several civic organizations in Seattle* Croson is not con- nected with this newspaper in any editorial or business way; he has no control over Tne Star, and Thf Star has no strings on him. The Star believes Croson will make good school board member for the same reasons that he would make a good attorney for The Star. He is capable, ener- getic, interested in public affairs, life las had the experi- ence of teaching, and he had also bMB * school principal > before studying law at Harvard. A gifted public speaker, he was the first man to make a Liberty loan speech in Seattle; he assistpd in other patriotic campaigns, and tho exempt from the he enlisted as a private in the recent war. He is indorsed by the Boto dub, composed of veterans of the late war And also of the Span- ish-American war. Judge Richard Wham's record on !the school !>oard has been eminently satisfactory. The onlyobjection being raised against him by opponents is that he fe too old now. Judge Winsor is an old man, but he was an old man when he was elected three years ago, and he dcdaw.buna«iLsttt fit mu! capable to attend to school <iffairi, fir. jit is luMMaSt lore with him. Judge Winsor hasneeh lonnected with educa- tional direction for 26 years as school director and as a member of the board of regents of the University of Wash- ington. None of these positions ever carried any salary, lie is a man of progressive ideas, anditho he has been for years a socialist, he has held the respect of the rity at large. The Star recommends him for re-electian. E. Shorrock's record on the school board has been sub- jected to criticism on account of his wtll known conserva- tism, often bordering on reaction. He tyas held out against much needed raises for school teachers, and his views gen- erally have l>een non-progressive. Shorrock is president of the Northwest Trust & Savings bank and has been on the school board for 18 years. He knows more about the finan- cial department of Seattle schools than fjossibly any other person in Seattle. As to his sincerity there is no question. The Star feels that he is often wrong, bitt The Star believes that he always thinks he is right Froro the viewpoint of those who see things conservatively, Shorrock is a satis- factory candidate. The Star, however, 'believes he is too immersed in tradition and that he has his vision too much on the past Dr. Edwin J. Brown is a dentist and a lawyer, ne has been a candidate, both as a socialist and as a democrat, for many important offices in this city and county. By rad- icals he is considered too conservative. By conservatives he is considered too radical. Strangely, tho, in the present election, his petition for candidacy is headed by Judge Thomas Burke, former president of the Chamber of Com- merce. This indorsement, it is explained, came to Brown because the judge believes a change is needed in school af- fairs, and that Brown is committed to such changes.

    TWO MEMBERS of the school board are to l>e electedTuesday. There are four candidates. All of them arejwell known in Seattle.

    Two of them?Judge Richard Winsor and E. Shorrock?-have been on the l>oard for a number of years. Winsor is aliberal, Shorrock is conservative. The other two candidatesare Carl E. Croson and Dr. E. J. Brown.

    The Star confesses a bit of embarrassment in indorsingthe candidacy of Mr. Croson, because he has lieen retainedon several occasions by The Star as it| attorney. The Star,however, had nothing to do with Mr. Croson's becoming acandidate. It did not know he was in the race, or intendedto get into the race, until after he had filed at the requestlof several civic organizations in Seattle* Croson is not con-nected with this newspaper in any editorial or business way;he has no control over Tne Star, and Thf Star has no stringson him.

    The Star believes Croson will make good school boardmember for the same reasons that he wouldmake a good attorney for The Star. He is capable, ener-getic, interested in public affairs, life las had the experi-ence of teaching, and he had also bMB * school principal
