Serbs and Austrians Occupy the Same
Car and Railroad Operatives Breathe
Easy When They Co.

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 8. Two
carloads of savage" looking Serbs
from the mining camps of Arizona
were passengers on the Drummers'
Special of the Ell Paso and South
western road Friday for the east.
The men, who had gathered In this
city from the surrounding camps,
were bound for their native land to
help stem the invasion of the Aus
TRANS.
In the front end of the forward
coach party of Austrians, also
bound for the seat of war, sat scowl-
ing at their foes to be. A few Greeks
and a couple of Italians accompanied
the party The Italians evidently
unaware of the terms of the triple
alliance which binds their. country
to support Austria, seemed to be IN
sympathy with the Serbs.
It was truly a motley collection
the men dressed in soiled garments,
with dilapidated hats and the whole
smelling to heaven. A drunken boast
or an angry word, it seemed, would
easily have been sufficient to start
a free fight in the. car occupied by
!. the sAnetrians q
At all events the officers on duty
at the station breathed easier when
the pa1-ey finally pulled out Of town
WiLEOuL stCESf-ttltSo' =,
A con siderable percentage Of the
miners employed in the Arizona
camps are natives of eastern Europe
and subjects of the various mon
J arches involved or threatened to
: become involved in the war. One
hundred were in the party and an
other hundred is expected soon.

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA. JANUARY 1e, 1s14

The elections in Mexico pulled of some time ago by one Huerta were - ---.-" iaIrc. r.iectIuns III Mexico always have been a farce an.I always will bc d farce until the peo ple are educated and take an interes, in their government and regard theil light to vote as sacred and worthy of being used with intelligence and honor.
 The great trouble with the elections in Mexico is that the people who have been given the vote do not know how to use it.
 Voting in most of the Latin .Ameri- : can republics has always been done for the dollar and not for q principal Nobody takes any interest in the government and nobody knows any thing about the qualifications of the candidates or the platforms of tho parties. They vote like lot of sheep.
 Tn the United States things are .' little better. Of course. there are many. many votes cast right here in our own land which are influenced by bribery of one kind or another. Ther, are a great many ignorant and worthless men exercising the right of franchise for no nobler purpose or n' higher aim than the winning of a five dollar bill or pint of whiskey. Ther- arc a great many more who know absolutely nothing of the policies ad- vocated by the party or the candidate for which they cast their ballot. They vote for personal reasons or from environment and because some other man of higher mentality dominates them.
 The average male voter in tho United States Is not anything like as poor a specimen to exercise the cleo tive franchise as is the Mexican peon, but also the average voter of the United States is none too much em- bued with the seriousness of his duty to the state and to society when he casts his ballot for person or party.
 It is devoutiy to be desired that the new element in the selection of of flcers and the settlement of other matters vital to the city. the county or the state: and up here. matters vital to the territory will consider well the meaning of popular govern n,cnt. the power of the people which cat be used for good or for evil and that the women will not follow in the footsteps of the men when it comes to casting a ballot.
 Women are instinctively cleaner end higher morally than men. The low political tricks. used by all part les, should neither fool them nor ap- real to them. The covering up Of matters vital to the community un- de, the wings of other measures so
The Nome daily nugget., 1914-01-10

that they will not appear on the sur face should not deceive the women voters. Women have intuition They are as a rule illogical. and yet more often than otherwise when they pu, their mind on a subject they hit the right conclusion without any logic at all This Is purely a feminine char acteristic, but it is ons' that should be cultivated and used when 1t comes 10 casting the vote.
 Woman at present does not under .tand politics any too well. Most "tmen do not understand the game .r all and are going to be easy for the political bunco steerer and the po- litical crook unless they come 10 a full realization of the seriousness of this new right that has been given them.
 The American women will not be driven to the polls like a lot of sheep AS are the Mexican peons. They will rot vote for a dollar or c drink as q rocd many male voters do. There is nc fear of that among the women. Put there are many other ways of in nuencing the feminine vote than by lollars and drinks and the shrewd politician will sift every one before n, will let one woman's vote get away from him.
 There Is only one way in which Voman may be sure that she is no; N"ting wrong. that she has not been lnduly influenced. that she is carry lnc out her part of the contract with Ter country when she casts her bal ivt She must study the questions of pt tlitical moment. local and national. md she must know when she goes {" the polls that she is thoroughly quail red to cast an intelligent ballot. If ", men will do that they MAY lift pc litics little way out of the mud.
