Painters at Dinner

There is no place in the CONNER

THE action of the great railroad

once were among the worst offenders
in the matter OF drunkenness, are i'm

Miss Solomon gave the police de-

they were about eighteen years old,
and were very black. Both wore caps,
she said. Policemen sent out from
headquarters just after the robbery
searched the neighborhood in vain.

Miss Solomon told the police she
left the Rich department store, where
she is employed, about o'clock and
started to the home of Mrs. G. M.
Sullivan. No. 4 West Peachcree street,
where she has rooms.

MRS. LEWIS PURPOSE IN ALASKA

It was contended months ago that Lena Morrow Lewis was political man ager for Brooks and that she was in AL aska for no other purpose than to build up a political machine so that she could control the Socialist party and deliver the nomination to Brooks.
 Her first trip into Alaskawas announc- ed through letters from the National off, ice of the Socialist party to the various locals throughout the territory. When she came here late in the summer of 19- 13 she sneaked into Fairbanks unan- nounced, apparently on private trip of her own, yet posing as National or ganizer, probably thinking that that would carry some weight with it. Many coHjectures and surmises were indu1ged i'll regarding the purpose of her visit. Her purpose has at last been disclosed, and is the same as that of any other car petbag politician---to establish a res1d- ence so that she could qualify and run for office and failing that to deliver the goods to Brooks.

 Owing to the difficulty in getting mail from one point of the country to an- other and the long time required to get the territory properly organized, we shall have to do the best we can under the circumstances and trust that the comrades will cooperate with the Territ- oriaI office now temporarily located at Fairbanks, to secure the best results in building up the party organization and in getting the campaign properly started

keep back the ballots from the Socialists in the Fairbanks district after sending them out to other places. Was there something on those ballots that Mrs. Lewis did not want any one i'll this vii clnity to see until a certain time had had elapsed? When the ballots were at last received by local Olness the spspic- ion that had arisen in the minds of the members proved to be well-founded. The ballots stated that Fairbanks, Jun eau and Valdez locals had nominated Brooks, and that Olness local had nom- mated McCabe. A committee was elected to wait on Mrs Lewis to ascer- tain if she had the documents to show that these locals had nominated Brooks and when asked to produce the proofs she failed to do so. This, then, was her reason for holding back the ballots. An other committee waited on Mrs. Lewis but without any better results. She ev- idently expected to influence and per suade the Socialists ot Alaska that Brooks was in great demand because he was supposed to be nominated by three locals. Such action on the part of Mrs, Lewis caused the Olness Local to asl, the National Office of the Socialist Party for her removal as temporary secretary because as they stated: We cannot get square deal at her hands"
 The following is list of the number of ballots counted OH the evening of Wednesday, June 17th, and shows that McCabe got two more votes than Brooks

Majority

How, then, do you ask, did Mrs Lewis arrive at the conclusion that Brooks was nominated? When politician, be it man or woman, Socialist Republican or Democrat, decides to deliver the nom ination to certain person the methods they use is of secondary consideration. All this talk by the Soclalist politicians of referendum and rule by the majority is all nonsense. Socialist politicians are much the same as any other brand of politicians, albeit we must roast the Re- publicans and Democrats. To resume our story, wh en Lena Morrow Lewis saw that her scheme was losiug out she fshed out letter which she had prev iousIy opened, not containing any bal lots, but just communication to herself fronSan alleged organizer of Finnish local ill Juneau, aud although they had met to count ballots, she counted this letter as IS votes for Brooks.
