 Arthur G. Shoup was elected on the "Non-Partison' ticket, run ming lowest on the ticket, espcc- tally where he was not known, and when a light had been made on him and highest where he was best known--in Sitka, his home town. .he got every vote cast, a tribute not paid io another can didate in the field.
 Nevertheless, he was lowest on the ticket when the totals of all the precincts were added together.

 Mr. Beck said last night: ''I hope am too good a loser to contest an election after am beaten. have absolutely nothing to do with this matter. l have pointed out to Mr. Valentine the ahsurdiIy of his posii ion and ask ch him mol to do it. but he is chairman of the organizat ion and will have his own way. would mot take a place in the legiSla- lure even if the board decided in my favor.

 There will be no authority to pass on contests until after Inc legislature meets and organizes for business. .--Alaska Empire.
