70 d man up a tree II commences A' l look as if one k afraid and the other won't do anything until some Of the would be mayors tip of their mitt." But just as sure as once certain fcl lows makes move it will be a case of lay on Macduff. or Wont you come and play in my back yard2"
 What many would like to know. is. what on earth is certain fellow gath cring up so many tn cans for. Can il be he is getting scared If his strength and wants to make a lot of tin horns out of the cans so as to make a loud noise
 No. NJ D. Samuels isn't candidate for the council or mayor either. Some think that he handles dry goods too we'll to round 'em up but last Sat urday he told a likely young fellow that should he start out it would re- ouire high stopper" to follow in his l footsteps"
 ! The Miners Union are keeping rather quiet this election and specula- tion Is rife as to whether or no" they will place a labor ticket in the field as they have been known to do in the past. | Tn the early days of Nome the union was strong factor in local politics. but that was when there was work in plenty for hundreds of miners
 The big dinner didn't prove to he such a political affair as we were led to believe. for only two of the prospec- tive mayors were present. These two tic but were there with the goods on | all other subjects But as soon as the conversation took political turn both could discount the oyster in a contest | for being dumb.
 1 By your sins shall ye be known | in politics. a little advance informa e tion given out by Bow Peep Saturday. proved a most excellent cut and fit for 1 several who have bees buzzing in tneT bOnnetS. TWO or three leSSeu uI' that they have in d mild way let their foot slip once or twice. but thought it was written especially for their benefit.
 In order that the political pot won't get to boiling too rapidly the price of screened coal has been advanced four dollars ton. No doubt this will make coal dust cheaper and considerable dust is needed to blind some fellows eyes as to certain candidates.
 1 One of the candidates writes the Nugget to know If we believe a must ard plaster is strong enough to draw a up. for there are several brands of mustard. and 1t may be possible that II takes another plaster to get certain mustard to working just the same as it takes yeast to make yeast.
 The bubbles in the political pot in form us that there are several candi- dates for every salaried position in the city, that is given out by members of the city council. One fellow who is Itching to wield the power granted to presidents of the common council is reported as having every position pledged should he be elected. of course he don't care who elected as the other six members for he'll be "it'' and 'I the great I am will serve the cake when 1t comes to the helping"
 If We are correctly informed he has promised William Eddy. Geore Lomen's job as city clerk, and ex-officio several times repeated under the same job George B. Grigsby city attorney. Dr. J. NJ. Sloan health officer. Mcveitty chief of police. Haughey fire chief. and Gus Boltz poundmaster. Then for the other positions such as members of the fire department. extra policemen. helpers on the streets. etc, he has just as good men picked out to whom he has prom . ised the job. So what's the use in go- ing to the expense Of holding an cleo tion? Why not allow Waterloo Anna apura Geraint to be the whole thing and done with it?
 Ancient history makes fine political ldope to test the respective candidates with. So get busy with the family skeletons
