There may be others but the
above are full Pledged candidates for
legislative honors from the Third
judicial division. At present there is
a move on at Valdez to bring out a
senatorial candidate while efforts
are being made to have Senator Ray
of Seward, or some other western
candidate get into the running.
Other candidates for the house are
also discussed. Nearly all the can
didates are running without party
nominations, and it is generally ey-
pected that personality and acquaint-
ance will count for more than poll
les in the race that is now on. In
zach division there is one senator
and four representatives to be
elected.

There has been considerable dis
cussion in this section as to the in
tent of the law with reference to
casting one ticket with the name OF
candidate for Delegate to Congress
and for members of the legislature.
Heretofore the Delegate election has
been. held in November, but this
year and hereafter they will both be
held in November. A law distinctly
provides the size and character of
the ticket to be voted for Delegate.
Another law provides for the cleo
ton of legislators. and there is moth
ing to indicate that all candidates
should be voted for on the one
ticket. That may be done when an
Australian ballot law is given us,
bat at present two tickets are I'M
doubtedly necessary. In the First
division the matter has been under
discussion and the. officials there
have promulgated the general order
that two tickets and two ballot boxes
must be used on November 8, al
though the same election officers and
polling places will be used and the
same hours observed for both cleo
tons Clerk of the Court j. w. Bell
issued circular letter of instruc-
tions to election officers recently
setting forth the construction of the
statute. The letter says:
"The provisions of the Acts OF
Congress of May Z, 1906, and August
"a, 1912; provide for two elections,
one for Delegate to Congress and one
for Territorial Legislature.
ut will be necessary to provide
two ballot boxes, one to be marked
Delegate" and one to be marked
Legislature.
Separate tally sheets and certifi-
Gates of results should be returned
for the Delegate and Legislature.
1t is further held by Clerk of the
Court Bell that if a ballot contain
ing a vate for Delegate and Leg s.
lative candidates is put in the
Delegate" box; only the vote for
Delegate will be counted; and if a
ballot containing votes for the Dele
gate and Legislative candidates is
nut in the Legislature" box only the
Legislative ballot will be counted.

There was good attendance OF
members at the meeting last night
of the Wickersham Club. The par
ticular matter under discussion was
the endorsement of a candidate from
Cordova for the Territorial Senate.
Two men had been spoken of, Geo
Dooley and Dr. w. H. Chase When
the subject was preached Mr.. Dooley
took the floor and stated that he
had decided not to be a candidate for
any office at the approaching cleo
ton. Asked for an expression DR..
Chase. stated that he would enter
the fight if he received the unanim-
o.. endorsement of the club and
the pledge of the members for their
active support. His name was then
presented and by unanimous vote
he was placed in the running. 1t
was decided not to make any en-
dorsements, for the present at least,
of candidates for the House.

Of GENERAL INFORMATION
Cordova. September 16


Engineer H. B. Malcolm and his
party of seven men left on the
morning train for Mile 3S. They
will be Joined by three men who
have been working on the Chitina
bridge, who will come down on the
returning train. This force will be
employed for three or four weeks
in surveying a proposed railway line
from Mile 3S to connect about 10
miles distant with line that runs
from Mile 40 to the Boring River
coal fields via Lake Charlotte. The
new line is being run by the Alaska
Engineering Commission, who Sc
cured employees of the Copper River
& Northwestern Railway to do the
, work, as other competent men were
not available. In the party from
Gordova were: A. J. Henneke, Jim
Malcolm and Jake Logan.
VAT the Chamber - of Commerce
eting last night a large number
Sletters we're read from members
the House and Senate, in answer
Mthe communications sent out by
A Chamber urging legislation for
the opening of the coal fields. Many
expressions of friendship for Alaska
were made and the statement was
freely made that everything possible
would be done tending to the de-
velopment of the territory. Various
Senators expressed the belief that
coal legislation would soon be
passed Reference was made to the
Ferris bill which has since passed
the House, and the suggestion was
made that in all probability it would
be strengthened in the Senate.
The objection to the House bill is
that it is so loaded with penalty
provisions as to make it practically
unavoidable Then again it makes no
provision for the rights of existing
claimants, who have paid an aggre-
gate of 100000 to the government,
and who have expended many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars In
doing work on their claims.

 Mrs Gordon was assisted in the entertaining by Mrs. Fred A. Mar tin and by her mother, Mrs. A. j. Pauli.
 The party of young people first gathered at the Martin residence on First avenue where the com modious rooms had been cleared for dancing, adjourning to the Gordon home after pleasant hour had been
 passed. There, guessing games and
 music were in order, the guests enjoying the evening to the utmost. Those winning first prizes were:
 Mrs Hazel Cooper. Miss Florence Jacobson, Max M. Smith and Stan ley R. Hess, consolation prizes be- ing awarded to Misses Deiser and Marion Creamer and Messrs. liar ris and Hess.
 The decorations at the Martin home were with bower effect of long festoons of smilaX being strung from all parts of the room to the center At tEe Gordon residence orange was the color scheme. rib bons of that shade being intermingled with sweet pea vines, hung in fes toons throughout the rooms

MORE ABOUT THE BRIDGE.

If the people of Fairbanks would awaken to the necessity of getting government aid for the construction of bridge across the slough. as has been advocated by The Citizen at various times, they would use their influence with the delegate to con- gress to get the necessary appro- priation.
 It is just as much the duty of the government to build a bridge across the slough between Fair banks and Garden Island as to build a bridge across any other stream in the Territory. The Turner-street bridge is not within the city limits, but the people of the city must see that it is constructed, or the muni- cipality will be isolated.
 One of the most unjust things about the bridge situation now is the fact that the people of the creeks and those who either live on Garden Island or have their interests there must pay the whole expense. Unless some thing is done toward getting a per manent bridge across the slough it will almost certainly mean the build ing of a new town on Garden Is- land, which, anyhow, promises to be the terminus of the new govern ment railroad

be expected that if the war keeps up for any great length of time. Al aska will reap harvest as result of it.
 At first glance 1t may not be quite clear how this Territory will be aid ed by the war. but little thoughtful review of the situation will make it evident that the annual stream of tourist travel that goes each sum mer from the United States to Eur. ope must find a new outlet, and that Alaska will prove 10 be one of the most promising places to be offered the tourist.
 It is to be regretted that the new railroad is not completed now, so that tourists could come here overland from the coast, but those who have the funds may prefer the river trip.
 The very fact that the United States will build railroad in Alaska has brought the attention of the world in this direction, and today more is known throughout the United States about this Territory than would have been known in a half century had not congress spent much time in discussing the merits of Alaska
 What is needed now Is systematic advertising of the scenic wonders of Interior Alaska, to aid the good work that has already been started IL was recently announced in a press dispatch received by The Citi zen from Seattle, that the companies that send steamships to the Alaska coast. are planning to draw tourist travel this way as result of the war. But the steamship companies care little about the travel to the Interior of the Territory. and this advertising must be done largely by the river transportation compan ies and by the people of this and other interior districts.

ALASKA AND THE WAR.

It would not seem possible on first thought that the great war in Europe would affect the Territory of Alaska, which is about the most distant land from the scene of hos tilities. But 1t is affecting Alaska in various ways. and promises to have a future effect of importance on this Territory.
 In the first place, the war tenn porarily killed the demand for Alas ka furs. so that now the fur busi- ness here is a very uncertain thing. In the second place, 1t has caused nearly all the copper mines to close down, as with the closing of the European demand for copper. there will be but little sale for it until after the war stops.
 The foregoing are the two objec. tionable effects of the war as far as Alaska is concerned. but 1t may

"WHO PAYS FOR WARw

"Who pays for war;" is the title of a highly interesting editorial in the Portland Oregonian of recent date There is a sermon in every sentence. and everybody interested in the great conflict in Europe would be benefited by reading it. It is as follows:
 War was once a state of nature; now it is the great crime of civiliza- tion. It is wholly useless; it is hor- rible waste; it is awful cruelty; it is organized murder It would seem that the costly and terrible expert ences of many thousand years would have taught all mankind that noth- ing is to be gained by war, and everything is to be lost But each generation must learn for itself what war is and war does.

CREDIT DUE MERCHANTS

It is doubtful that there is any other city in the land of the size oi Fairbanks where the merchants are so generous in the matter of fin ancially aiding public enterprises as in this city. The enterprise of a city and it's future can almost ai- ways be measured by the public spiIitedness of it's merchants, and in that sort of a test, Fairbanks certainly makes good showing.
 At various times this year, the merchants of Fairbanks have been called upon to support big cele- brations. tie first one of importance being the railroad celebration, which was considered the most successful affair ever held in Interior Alaska. Each of these celebrations has been generously financed. and thus it might be expected that the coming agricultural and mining fair would be promoted with much difficulty, owing to the big demands made for funds in the past.
 It seems, however, from the re- port made by City Clerk Pauli, who has been collecting the contribu- tions. that the merchants have been doing everything within their power to make the fair a success and the fund for the celebration and the exhibitions is now almost complet-

growing even in Europe is indicated by the way some prominent people of the big powers there have ex- pressed opposition 10 if. A news paper that has just reached The Citizen office quotes 'one of the most prominent statesmen of Eng land" whose name is not given. however, with the following state ment, made before Great Britain entered into the war in Europe:
 This war, like most wars, is not Ia war of peoples but of governments and reigning houses. The Socialists are right in saying that the masses have no reason for fighting one another, that they have nothing to gain and everything to lose; that they are fighting in furtherance of the personal ambitions of the flaps burgs. the Hohenzollerns. the Rom anoffs, little group of financiers and another little group of purvey- ors of military supplies.
 Diplomats tell us that this issue is between the Teuton and Slav. But why should the Teuton and the Slav fight? What has the Russian peasant against the German working man? Nothing at all The fight is not between the Teuton and the Slav, but between the rulers of the Teutons and the Slavs
 The rank and file think they want war today That is. they think so in Germany and Russia and Austria and France. We do not want it in England, nor does Italy want it. But the Teuton and the Slav and the Frenchman think to- day that they want to fight.
 They will not think this for long. The world is too enlightened for it in this age. When they see the ruin this war will bring, they will real ize that their rulers led them into it for their rulers own interests and against those of the common peo- nlo p
