TURNER TO WIN

The Seattle correspondent of the Alaskan Press Association predicts the election of former Senator Turner as governor of the state of Washington by a majority of l2,OOO. This will be good nays 10 Alaskans. There is feeling in Alaska of personal interest in Sena- tor Turner. He is one of three men who saved Skagway and great deal or contiguous Alaskan territory to the United States after it had been placed in jeopardy by Secretary Hay when ne agreed to the infamous mOduS vivend compact, whereby several hundred square miles of American territory were put in the hands of Canaoa to hold as hostage until the entire Alas kan boundary controversy should be settled by arbitration. Before the ad- vent of Hay, it was contended that the United United States had nothing to arbitrate. The modus viyendi made arbitration necessary, That was the Hay surrender, Most of the ground lost by that criminally stupid acton was regaiusd by the Alaskan boundary commission, one member of which was Senator Turner. appointed as demo- crat by republican president upon the recommendation ot the republican members ot the senate of which he had been a member for six years. Every body will remember the feeling of Sc curity that was created in Alaska when Senator Turner was selected for mem bership on the Alaskan boundary com mission. Everybody in the district remembers how well he justified the feeling of confidence that his sppont ment inspired.
 That was the crOwuiug service Sena- tor Turner rendered Alaska at the end of a senatorial term of six years, during all of which he had been a willing and efficient servant of our people, The recognition of these conditions will DO doubt cause thousands of voters in the state of Washington, irrespective Of party, who have interests in Alaska to contribute to the majority that will be received by the first citizen of the Ever green state iu tomOrrOw's ballOting
 Aside from the personal Interest ln the success of Senator Turner that Is felt by Alaskans, there is the prevail ing feeling that he represents the best elements in his state in the present campaign. He stards in opposition to ring dictatiou and for good faith on the part of officials toward the people. He stands for the fuIfllmeut of platform pledges and against one oi the most col rupt gangs of political pirates thavever rayaged a commonwealth That Is why he will receive the support oi b. 900 or 2O,OOO seli-respectiug republican citizens of the state Of Washington as we'll as the suppart of those iu ,h" state with interests in Alaska.
