Hiram Gill
Hiram C. Gill (August 23, 1866 – January 7, 1919) was an American lawyer and two-time Mayor of Seattle, Washington, identified with the "open city" politics that advocated toleration of prostitution, alcohol, and gambling.〔David Wilma, (Gill, Hiram C. (1866-1919) ), HistoryLink.org Essay 2755, 27 October 2000. Accessed 22 January 2007.〕
==Rise==
Gill was born in 1866 in Watertown, Wisconsin. His father, Charles R. Gill, a lawyer and Civil War commander, later served as Wisconsin's attorney general. In 1889 Gill graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School and moved to Seattle, where he worked first as a waiter at a waterfront restaurant. That June, the Great Seattle Fire reconfigured Seattle. Gill soon became (as he had been during law school) a stenographer in a law firm, entering practice himself in 1892 and soon entering politics as a Republican.〔 As a lawyer, he defended saloonkeepers and brothel owners.〔Sharon Boswell, (Chasing the Wolves of Sin ), ''Seattle Times'', 3 March 1996. Accessed 22 January 2007.〕
He was elected to the city council in 1898, reelected in 1900, defeated in 1902, but elected again in 1904, after which he held onto his seat, serving three years as council president before running for mayor in 1910 on an "open town" platform.〔
