ALASKA ELECTS HER
TWO DELEGATES TO-DAY
VIII Probably BE Instructed for Sec
retary Taft.

rotary Taft.
Washington. May 1.-Two delegates
to represent the republicans of Alas.
ka in the Chicago convention will be
elected at a territorial convention tC
be held at Ketchikan today. Advices
from the land of snow and gold state
that the delegation will probably be
pledged to Secretary Taft.
Six delegates had already been
elected when the republican national
committee met in Washington last
December, but by the terms of the
call they were declared to have been
prematurely chosen, and Alaska was
told that no delegate from that ter
ritory would be seated at the conven-
tion until others were named The
call further stipulated that only two
would be seated instead of six
AS the six delegates had been in
instructed to vote for Secretary Taft
their rejection was received with jub-
ilation by the exponents of the secre-
tary, who saw loss of four votes to
him and the possibility that Alaska
could not elect her allotted two dele
gates in time to be represented at the
convention. They realized that an
election in Alaska is a much differ
ent and more difficult matter than a
short walk to the polls in the United
States, and some hope was expressed
that having once gone on record, the
Alaskans would be content to forgo
another election, But in this hope
they did not reckon with the deter
mination of the Alaskans to exercise
their rights of ballot and the callber
of Thomas Gale, the territorial dele
gate In congress, who holds strong
views as to the interest his people
should take in national politics.
Mr.. Gale believes that the Alaskans
prize the right of ballot more highly
than any other Americans and that
the two new delegates will be instruct
ed for Secretary Taft unless light
vote somewhat changes the situation.
Mr.. Gale Is Vermonter by birth, but
has lived in Alaska 10 years and Is
serving his first term in congress. He
was elected on a non-partisan ticket
although he is more closely allied
with the republicans than the demo-
Gratis, and is listed in the former COZ
umn.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

The City Council met in Owl hall Mon
day evening. Mayor Smith and Coun-
cilmen Some, Snyder, Gallagher and
Ross, Clerk Powers and Attorney Willis
were present.
The Mayor announced that routine
business would not be considered as
there were outside propositions of inn
portance to come before the council.
Attorney E. R. Dodge, on behalf of
H. w. Esden. presented resolution
providing for an ordinance granting a
50-year franchise for waterworks. After
the reading of the resolution the Mayor
announced that discussion was open to
all and invited the citizens present to ex-
press their views.
After considerable discussion as to GER
tain portions of the resolution, the result
of its acceptance, the pressure to be fur
nished, ETC., Councilman Ross asked that
the taxpayers present take vote on the
question. The meeting finally adjourned,
the council taking recess until Tuesday
evening.
Tuesday evening full board convened
at Owl hall and discussion was resumed.
The proposition was modified in many
ways and finally passed the council by
the following vote:
Aye-Messrs. Ross, Snyder and Some.
Nay-Mr. Gallagher.

action, then we say to modify the
Esden proposition in one or two
particulars and accept it. Water
works, sewers and fire protection
are absolutely necessary If we are
going to progress.

The confession was excluded as

Also the many safe guards that

He showed the men very
plainly that if they desired to re-

they must get into the organization
and take an active interest in its
affairs, otherwise they would in.
the very near future be compelled
to return to the days of the long
ton and other conditions that pre-

organization.
He counseled the men in very
emphatic manner to give their en-
ployers an honest days work and
live strictly up to the letter of the
existing Joint Agreement and to
perfect their organization to such
an extent that they could secure a
square deal from their EMPLOYER
in return.
President Davis in discussing
the needed legislation stated that
with thorough organization the
leaders Of the movement would
not be merely promised remedial
legislation when they appeared be-
fore the legislative committees and
politicians, but would be in a
