garding Ohio Matters.
ANXIOUS AS TO HIS SEAT

of Republican Voters.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE rs NEUTRAL
Hears Railroad Bill Will Be Acted
on First-Urges Two New
Battleships.

Senator Dick of Ohio conferred with
President Taft today as to some Ohio
local matters. including post office ap-
pointments that are hanging fire. Sen
ator Dick is to submit his return to the
Senate to a primary of republican voters
in Ohio He has fought for this for some
time. believing that he will be successful
in receiving popular Endorsement. The
primary will not be legally binding upon
republican legislators, but morally il will
hold them to the carrying out of the YER
dict of the people, according to political
view The election is to be held May
o. and Senator Dick, confident or sue
cess, will not leave his work in Washing
ton to make speeches or attempt to per-
sonally influence the campaign What
ever he does will be from this end or
the line.
President Taft is clearly neutral In the
senatorial contest. He has so informed
his friends from Ohio. If his brother, I.
P Taft. were to enter the contest he nat
urally would like to see him win The un-
derstanding is general. however. that MI
Taft will not enter the senatorial hght'
but. on the other hand, will use his infiu-
ence to have the successful candidate
elected by the legislature, If that body is
republican.

A Victory for the People

The only semblance of home rule that has thus far been granted to the people of Alaska is the right to incor- porate towns and to elect councilmen to govern them. This privilege has been eagerly seized in almost every town in the entire territory. It has made possible the building of school houses, the improvement and, lighting of streets, and a much better police system than could be maintained under federal rule. Besides these things many of the towns along the coast, in casting about for those things that would help make conditions more bearable, have hit upon the plan of a wharf owned by the city and operated for the benefit of the people. To the Alaskan coast town the wharf is the only avenue of approach. Everything that comes to the town and everything that goes out of it crosses that wharf and is made to pay toll to the owners. In some cases the toll charged has been exorbitant in the extreme, and the people have had to pay it. Municipal ownership offered way of escape from this tax and, in spite of vigorous op- position in some quarters, many of the towns now own their wharves.
