Wouldn't that jar you?

Wouldn't that Jar you!
 There's a reason for it, however. i Several fat government jobs have already been parceled out to good i Alaskan democrats. there are sever al more that are now on the slate to be filled and Haines democrats so far have received no share in this division of the spells of office.
 The amusing feature of the af- fair, to one in the know, is, that while every one of the men who have signed the roll as members of the Haines democratic club were res idents of the burg and voters at the election for a delegate to congress held in August, 1912, the official count shove Lo single ballot had been cast in favor of the dem ocratic candidate, R. W. Jennings, present judge of the district court for the first district of Alaska.
 Here are the official returns as published in the Daily Alaskan of August II, 1912:
 Wickersham, independent, .. .. 42 Gilmore, republican, .. -. .. .. g Krauczunas, socialist .. .. .. 6 Jennings, democrat. .. .. 0 Harris, labor, . .. 0
 The meat in the cocoauut of their suddenly aroused party fealty, how ever, is that one of the prime moy- CTS in the organization of the Haines club is out for a United States Deputy Marshalship and an other would be willing to serve his country in the capacity of District Attorney in he place of MT. Rust gard or for the good of the cause would even consent to accept an assistant district attorneyship.

The killing Of several japanese at Nankin
and the insult to the japanese flag when
the Chinese regular troops captured that
