 SURE OF
 THIRD

That Charles E. 5unnell Is abso Iutely sure of carrying the Third Ju dlcial Division by large majority Is the assurance that has been reeelV ed in Juneau from all the important towns of that Division since the com pletion of Delegate James Wicker sham's canvass of the Division.
 A cablesram to The Empire joined in by two leading citizens of Valdez says:
 Wiekersham's violent personal attacks on Richardson and others have alienated many former ad- herents, and soIidified the opPo- sitlon. Bunnell Is absolutely sure of carrying this Division by a large majority.
 Wickersham promised Seward ties railroad. In his speech here he promised to have the termln- us located at Valdez.
 These eablegram's were in response to requests for conservative estimates of actual conditions"

WCKERSHAM DID
 MAKE PROMISES

TeIearams from several sources In the Third Division, each acting in- dependently of the other, and repre- sentins both the towns of Valdez and Seward, say unhesitatlnsly and unre- servedly that Delegate Wickersham has specifically promised the people of each town to work for the location of the coast terminus of the Alaska railroad for eaeh-that he did actual Iy attempt to secure votes for him self in both towns through making directly conflicting promises.
 These telesrams are from men of standing In their communities, and they include men of both the Demo cratic and Republican parties who have both supported Wiekersham in the past and men who have opposed him.
 Further than that, we'll known eitl- zens of Southeastern Alaska, lnclud- ing at least one we'll known citizen of Juneau, say that when at Haines, he told the people there that Haines should be the terminus of THE" railroad. While none of them would attempt to give the exact words, they agreed that the impression that those who heard him gained was that he ia vored that place as the terminus of the S35,ooo,ooo railroad that the govern ment has authorized.
 It Is known further that John Ros enc, the organizer of the Northwest ern Commercial Company, the North western Steamship Company, and the Cooper River railroad, the properties which the Alaska Syndicate afterwarc secured, but who for the last seYera years has been organizing the flask; Midland railroad with Its proposed terminus at Haines, has written many letters to Southeastern Alaska people urging that they support Delegate Wiekersham for reelection.
 These dispatches from the West ward and this information from Halnei come from leading men In thel communities-minins men, .profes Ional men, and those engaged in com mereial pursuits.
 However, the Empire sauthority a to the statements which coneeri Haines says that the people of tha town did not take the promises ser lously for the reason that in his ral
 road speech in Congress the 0elesat did not Include that town as anon the possible locations of the eoas terminus of the railroad.

NAVY STOPS COASTAL
 MOVEMENT

LONDON, Oct. 19- By reaching their tena- cIes out to the seaboard the Allied forces have established close con- nection with the British navy, which is now in force on the coast, form ing the extreme left of the long line of British, French and Belgian troops which extends from the North sea to Switzerland.
 From the London viewpoint, it seems for the moment at least, that the Allies have eff fectually checked the German effort to turn the Allies left an d made the abandonment of the coastal move ment a necessity.

PRESIDENT ASKS FOR
 DEMOCRATS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-President Woodrow Wilson has made public a letter to Representative oscar w. Un. derwood, leader of the Democratic party in the National House of Rep. resentatlves, in which he reviewed the achievements of the administration and outlined the program of the next session of Congress.
 The President declared that "the Democratic party is now, in fact, the only instrument at hand that is ready to serve the country and by which anything can be accomplished"
 Predicts Democratic Success.
 The President predicated success for his party at the approaching elect ion because "every thoughtful man sees that to change parties just now would be to set the clock backward" ," and because "a practical Nation is not likely to reject such a team full of the spirit of public service as the Demo cratic Congress is and substitute for it in the midst of great tasks either Q party upon which deep demoraliza- ton has fallen or a party which has not grown to the stature that would warrant it's assuming the responsible burdens of state."
 Praises New Tariff.
 Praising the new tarin, the Presi- dent asserted taht private control of the Nation had shown it's sinister face on every hand in America, and had shown 1t for long time, sometimes very brazenly in trusts and in virtual domination of the credit of the coun- try by small groups of men,"
 He declared that the panic that the opponents of the new tarifr had pre-. dicted had not come and that despite the European war there had been sufi- cleut time to predict the success of the act
 New Currency Act.
 Speaking of the new currency act, President Wilson said:
 "We have created a democracy of credit such as never has existed in this country before. Credit is now at the disposal of every man who can show energy and assets"
 Continuing, the President said that the control of the credit system of the country>now rests with the govern ment; It is self.government as well as democracy"
 Next session's Work.
 Speaking of the program for the next session of Congress, the Presi. dent spoke of the need for legislation for building up the American mer- chant marine and "the completion of the program in connection with the great natural resources of the coun- try, including the water power poten' tiallties, and their development. Necessary to Have Harmonious Con
 gross.
 Without a Congress in close sym pathy with the administration" wrote the President, "a whole scheme of peace and honor and disinterested ness in service to the country and the world cannot be brought to its full realization"

ANOTHER VALDEZ DISPATCH.

Valdez, Oct. 1s. - When Delegate James WIekersham was forced to re- turn to Valdez and reply to the at taeks made upon him by the Daily Prospeetor, he lost himself many votes.
 His attacks on Col. w. p. Richard son undeniably lost him many votes.
 The Prospector showed Saturday that the eusgenheims have opposed Col. Richardson ever since the road commission refused to abandon the government wagon road from Valdez to Willow Creek, and thus kept the Valdez.Fairbanks road open for use by the people of this city. If he had not done that, travel to the interior over the overland route would have been at the mercy of the railroad.
