WOMEN WILL VOTE
 HERE TOMORROW

the women of Nome are requested to take advantage of the opportunity to have their opinions on the question expressed in this concrete fashion so that the representatives in Juneau might be directed how to act.
 The polls open at two o'clock and close at five. During these three hours 1t Is certain that the votes of every woman in Nome can be boiled without difficulty and very particu- lar request is issued that each woman who can at all do so will vote and let Alaska see how Nome women feel in this respect. It is also wished to i'm press all voters that the ballot is a secret one.
The Nome daily nugget., 1913-03-14

The women of Nome will vote to- morrow afternoon to decide whether or not they are in favor of the pas sage of the woman's suffrage act which is now before the Juneau leg islature.
 To enable them to express their views the only woman's club in Nome. the Kegoayah Kozga. has taken the matter in hand and has arranged to convert their club rooms on Steadman avenue, Saturday afternoon from to o'clock into a polling booth.
 The votes will be received as at a regular election and the ballot will be a strictly secret one. Three judges will preside. They are Mrs. Bacheld- CT. Mrs. Zehner and Miss Mabel Searl.

POLITICS ARE
 WARMING UP
ANOTHER TICKET PLACED IN
 THE FIELD LAST EVENING.

Last evening brought forth an- other ticket in the municipal field of politics. It is composed of Vim. Lowerpable, Dan J. Crowley. Gus Bor- gen. W. J. Rowe, N. A. Altimus, E. c. Roberts and Joe Badger.
 One of the questions which are now certain to be used in the muni- cipal campaign is the question of a territorial eight hour law. The mayor, by his official business telegram stat ing that all Nome favored the law, has raised the issue whether he meant 10 do so or not. IL is general. ly believed that this telegram was really used with the municipal cleo tion in view. but. to be fair Co him, this is only d surmise on the part of those who suspect that it was a bid for votes in the city election.
 It is not quite certain. however, that even labor union men of the most cX- treme type will blindly support such u bill as it might mean cut in wages. They would probably make certain first that such a law would include the establishment of q mini mum wage At 90 cents per hour the eight hour law would reduce the wages tu $i per day unless some clause were inserted to make mini mum wage scale, and it is doubtful if this would be within the power of the territorial legislature.
 This issue. as said before, may be established as the result of Mir. Gil more's telegram. It may he that he did not intend it is fair tn assume that Il candidate performs in public only acts which are calculated tn aid his cause. Either that or one would be a careless politician.
 IL is generally thought around town that a vote by the miners and opera tors would be a much more reliable method of judging the opipion of the people than by taking the hastv wor( of one man.
