LABOR CHIEFS To
YOTEFOR WILSON
Head of Engineers and Com
pers Urge Union Men to
Support Democrats.
To the Editor of The Georgian:

To the Editor of The Georgian:
AS the campaign nears it's close 1t
is evident that the labor vote is go
ing to be cast more largely for Wilson
and Marshall than ever before for a
Democratic candidate for president and
vice president.
James f. Geraghty, secretary of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire and
Engineers of New York, sent out a let
ter to all officers and members Of the
organization in which he commends
Wilson, Sulzer and Glynn.
OF Governor Wilson, he says:
Governor Wilson has shown his
heart and sympathy are with the rail-
road employees in his message to the
New Jersey legislature. He recon-
mends legislation which will compel the
railroads to be equipped with full
crews, and he has advocated legisla-
ton which would compensate an in
jured person. Therefore, it is our duty
to cast aside our political affiliations
and vote for the Democratic party, If
we ever expect to receive beneficial
| legislation"
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, an
nounces his support of Wilson, and
says:
Personally, l am in favor of Wilson
as president and will vote for him, and
believe the preponderance of senti-
ment on the part of the workers is for
Wilson and the Democratic party as
the party most favorable to measures In
the interest of labor. l believe Roose-
welt will poll large vote, but he has
no chance )of election.

FIRE ON NEGRO WHO
DID NOT PAY BILL

Because a Marietta road negro failed
to pay a furniture installment when
a collector for the Jones Furniture
Company called his office and demand

them, John BridWell a youth of sixteen.

proceeded to flourish. The negro ran,
and Bridwell shotja him.

dured in patience, but an artificial nui-
sance which can be abated.
Proper Sticking Needed
Inspector McMichael's estimates show
that about Is per cent of the city's con-
sumption of steam and domestic coal
can be saved by proper stocking and the
use of proper furnaces. The city con-
sumes about $1,575,000 worth of coal per
year, and the saving would be $50.
But ne showed also that the loss by
smoke damaged clothing, homes and
properties amounts to not less than
$4,000 a year, and this loss is shared
by every person in the shadow of the
smokestacks and chimneys of Atlanta.
IF you can prove to manufacturers
that their smoke costs them dollars and
cents, you have won the battle" said
one prominent consumer. They might
not all be aroused by appeal along SEN
timental lines. But if a consumer can
save coal bills by proper firing. he is
likely to try it, I'm going to do my
best to save that cash"
The law forbidding locomotives with
in the city limits TO emit black smoke
for more than about II minutes an
hour specifying a limited amount of
smoke every five minutes is already
in effect and arrests for violations are
probable within the next day or two.
Inspector McMichael has found that the
railroads have an average of 300 loco
motives inside the limits every day. The
roads have agreed to do what they can
to abate their share of the nuisance.
Watch For Violations.
The ordinance forbidding owners Of
stationary engines and furnaces to per-
nit the emission of black smoke for
more than twelve minutes in each hour
goes into effect on Friday November /.
The inspector will keep a close watch
for violations
\ number of agents for various pat
ented furnaces and smoke consumers
are in the city this week, attracted by
the published accounts of Atlanta's
fight for purer atmosphere. and some
of them report they are placing modern
equipment in a number of local plants.

SWIFT IN SOME THINGS

In far away Alaska an election was held on November , for the election of sixteen members of a Territorial Legislative Assembly. On the follow ing afternoon the Daily Alaskan pu o. lished the names of the sixteen men who are likely to constitute the mem- ship of the new Assembly. And there has since been no change in the per sonnel, as every man reported ela red on the sixth, with the possible ex. ception of one Senator, will serve at Juneau next March. In the matter of Senators from the third division it may require the official vote to positively determine whether two or only one of the men as reported elect ed has received sufficient votes to qualify. And yet we are supposed to be remote and sparsely settled territory, that would require weeks to hear from, while the populous Kansas only determined this morning who has been elected Governor of that state.
The Chitina leader., 1912-11-12
WICKERsHAM NOT AN ISSUE.

The recent Legislative election in Alaska has clearly demonstrated one thing. And that is that the people will not stand for one man domin- ation. After the Legislative Assem- bly bill had passed there was an in clination in different parts of the Territory for candidates to announce themselves as "Wickersham men. :" In all probability this was done with out the sanction of the real, success full politician of Alaska, the h.,n
 James Wickersham. At all even $ there was soon a revolt against the idea by some of the former strongest Wickersham supporters and follow CTS. This was particularly true. in the first division where the Progress sives" put up a ticket headed by the famous or infamous, Emery Valen- tine They sought to bring to it the former Wickersham support, but the voters wouldn't stand for it, and elected the full non-partisan ticket. In the fourth division the original idea of putting up straight Wick ersham ticket was substituted by an action that resulted in the nomina- ton and electon of a non-partisan ticket. In the second division a
 combination of all elements easily triumphed, while in this, the third division, the intention of naming a | full Wickersham ticket was displaced by a movement that resulted in the
 naming of the Home Rule ticket
 which contained the names of two Democrats and one other opposed
 to MT. Wickersham. But of this ticket only two were elected, the
 other four having been placed on a non-partisan ticket. So It is ap.
 parent that the Wickersham influ.
 ence was not predominant at the
 polls on Tuesday last. In fact il
 was scarcely an issue, other than ir the first district, which the delegate
 has himself always carried. There
 are undoubtedly many friends and
 former supporters of MT. Wicker. sham in the Legislature, but they are men who will not be dominated by him, although we don't know
 that he shall wish to influence them
 in their actions.

- PLEASING ASSURANCE

And again Col Richardson assures us that there is soon to be built that much needed bridge across the treacherous Nazina river. And if construction is completed this winter the miners and operators of the Cop per river country will forgive and forget all past promises that failed to materialize, with reference to this required means for people to safe- ly cross into rich gold placer and copper section of Alaska. The pros pector and the operator have certain 2 ly blazed. the trail, and after the ex- penditure by them of many hundreds of thousands of dollars it does not seem unreasonable to expect the Road Commission to make their first expenditure in a vast and rich min- ing section that will soon be out pouring millions of dollars in geld and copper.

ALASKA'S ENORMOUS TRADE

What the trade of Alaska means to this country, is clearly and em- phaticallye indicated by the govern ment statement, just issued, showing that in 1912, exclusive of gold ship ments, it amounted to the enormous total of s45, 100000 an increase from S2O,000,000 in 1903, or about 125 per cent in less than ten years. 2 For a, sparsely populated country which has labored under many difti- culties on account of the attitude of the federal government toward it. the trade showing made by Alaska is remarkable, and merely serves again 70 emphasize, the value of the north arn country to the United States.
 The bulk of the value of Alaska $ trade at this time is represented by copper and canned salmon shipments Gold shipments, the value of which must be added to the $45,000,000 for the year, amounted to SS,000, ,00O for the eight months ending in Aug ust, as against $5,00O,O00 for the same period in the proceeding year The value of gold shipments brings the total up to about $53,00O,0 ,0O0.
 By slow degrees the people of this country are coming to realize the richness of Alaska; and yet, on the face of the present. showing, it is a question whether even the most iop. timistic of Alaskans fully realize what the northern country is capable of producing under favorable circum. stances. Given the right kind o1 government, given adequate trans portation facilities, and "a thrifty population unhampered by foolish and indefensible federal rules and regulations which tend to prevent the use the, rational development of the natural resources of the country, and in short while Alaska would be. come one of the greatest wealth. producing .centers of the. world And that is precisely what Alaska will be in a few years.-Seattle Post Intelligencer.

ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON

Cordova and the Copper river country will not have representation in the first Territorial Assembly of Alaska, and there are many contribu- ting reasons for that fact. When the voters of Cordova at a non-partisan primary expressed a decided prefer ence in favor of Cordova man for Senator and another from Copper Mountain for Representative. there was strong belief that both these men would be elected. Neither was in town at the time and afterwards both declined to stand as candidates In Cordova the Wickersham follow ing had already nominated MT. Tan sey for Senator, but in such way as estranged many of the men who mioht have been expected to support him. He was afterwards put on the Home rule ticekt, and then Cordo- va public meeting endorsed him, with view to harmonizing any differences, and if possible secure his election. The Copper river country named two men, and they were both put on the Home rule ticket, when it was generally conced- ed that the interior was only entitled to one Representative.
 The reasons for defeat of all three candidates may be briefly summarize i'd. Neither one had a general or eX- tensive acquaintance throughout the division, neither one left his own precinct to do any work, neither one is a politician, neither one inspired any large number of friends,to exert their personal efforts in his behalf. And although all three men may be deserving, they all entered the race under handicaps that they were not able to. overcome. Had the original
 
 idea been carried out of having Cor dova and the Copper river country unite on two strong men, and then work in unity and endeavor to have practically every elector of the 500 voters who cast their ballots on Tues day vote for a man from Cordova for Senator and a man from the interior for Representative, the election of both would have been a certainty. The interests of Cordova and the Copper river country are identical and it is only by cooperation that either can hope to accomplish any thing in political way. And then only strong men, who are willing to get out and make a canvass, should be nominated.

Bob Hodges planes the newspa- pers of Washington for defeating him for. Governor. but Bob overlooks the fact that it was his own crooked political and private record that was the main cause of his defeat The newspapers didn't make the record, they only exposed tito public scruti- ny. The voters did the rest, and the state will profit thereby.
The Chitina leader., 1912-11-12

The new Democratic administra- tion is pledged to assist in the devel- opment of Alaska, and here's hoping that they don't forget about it. And while they are unlocking the coal serves, building railroads and trails, establishing naval coaling stations, and doing many other needed things, perhaps they will build that S10O,000 federal building for Cordova.
The Chitina leader., 1912-11-12
TO THEIR COMPACT.

There has been some mild critic ism upon the part of some Cordovans because of the light vote the candi- dates from this town received at the coal metropolis, when it is con sider- ed that MT. Gray received the highest vote of any candidate in Cordova. But there is, another side to it. 2, MT. Gray was put on the tnen-partisan ticket with the implied understand ing that in return for the support to be given him by that element throughout the division that the vo- ters of Katalla should stand by the other candidates on the .non-partisan ticket. This they faithfully did, with the exception that Dr. Chase was cut some by friends of John Frame and Frank Youngs to vote for their fayorites.4 There was an in clination at. Katalla to cut Willard because. of the Pinchot conservation views he held year ago, but his as- surance the day before election that his views were now sound and that he would favor the immediate opening of the coal, fields, induced, the people at ,Katalla. to give him most of the vote, as he was considered largely responsible for inducing MT. Gray to run on the non-partisan ticket. MT. Tansey was not particularly well known at Katalla, did not visit the town and no particular effort was made to secure him the vote there
 AS one, party from Katalla expressed it over the telephone. "Mr. Gray spent week or two in Cordova meet. ing the voters and impressing upon them the claims of Katalla. MT
 Tansey did not come here and nc particular effort was made by his friends to secure votes, so that the in precision prevailed that the people of Cordova were not particularly con. cerned about his election, and the vote in your town seems to verify that conclusion"

And now it is mooted question as to who shall be the next Governor of Alaska. There is some talk that the plum may fall to Major Strong but there looms from the shadow of the Panama commanding figure in the person of Falcon Joslin. And he wants the job, for which he possibly is as we'll qualified as any man in the territory, it will at least be known that he is in the running.

Harmony and good-fellowship ex- ists in Cordova, to an alarming ex- tent. And even the women folks are beginning to think that possibly their neighbors are not very much worse then they are.

AS additional returns and correc- tions come in from. the recent Legis- lative election the uncertainty contin- ues as to, whether Willard, Baldwin or Ray is to be defeated candidate. Two of the three are sure of election.
