WOULD OPEN OtD WOUNDS.
Terrible Effort Being Mado to Stir Up Fac
tionnlisn, But 1T Won't Succeed.

A terrible effort is being made this
week to stir up old political iouds and
reopen wounds that have healed.
This is not the work of men who love
their State hotter than their solGsh
ambitions. Factionalism is doad and
the man who tries to bring it to life
should ho buried, politically. One Of
the best results of Capt. Heyward's
election wilt be that he will represent
tho entire people. He is tho cnndi.
dato Of no faction or set of men 10
is being enthusiastically supported by
men who eight and ten years ago op-
posed each other bitterly. For the
first time in many years we will have
Il governor who cannot be claimed by
this class o" that class. He will Ee
for all.
Tho alliance grip is given and the
call to arms sounded, bnt the Ali
nnccmcn, AZ the returns from the
election show, arc standing by the
only man in the race for governor
who has always been a farmer, who
has never before run for public Office
and whose ability and character are
of the highest, The people will cl, ct
tho next governor despite the politi.

in mo rs candidate for Railroad
Commissioner in the primary, leading
my opponent for the second raco by
nearly two thousand votes, and beg
to submit my claims to the voters

sioner's Office and the welfare of the
people in every county, and separated
as friends.
My opponent is from the same ter
ritory as the two incumbents. Whcl
Mr.. Welborn retires, the great eas
tern, north. eastern and south -castorl
sections of the State, comprising tn
largest part Of tho State, with the lal
gost railroad mileage, will be absolute

 "The very many suggestions from dlf- ferent sections of Alaska that J. w. lveY be the delegate to Congress, when that official position becomes a realty, have created considerable talk here, but none of the government officials will discuss it for publication.

 Friday.

Friday was the last day of school and the pupils of an the grades held commence ment exercises ln Mss Goddlng's room. Ths leading feature of the entertainment was a very beautifully deeksd Christmas tree from which many pretty presents were distributed to the children.
 The program was filled out with school songs and declamatlons by the children, and addresses by tho corps of teachers. Few of tho children seem very glad that their long vacation Is Initiated but rather regret that school has closed. Marked progress has been made during the term and the children were generally Interested In thelr school work.
