'LET FER BUCK"
BUNNELL HAS ABILITY,
 INDUSTRY AND INTEGRITY

Probably one of the weakest argu- ments that has been raised against the Democratic candidate for Delegate to Congress is that he is a new and untried man. The same might have been said against the present dele gate. when first elected, Were this sufficient ground to prevent mans ad- vancement 1t would close forever ey- cry avenue of human endeayor. No man might hope to hew his way to the front were not the new and un- tried given opportunities to display the ability they possess, and from the new and untried men have come the greatest leaders of the Nation. Presi- dent Wilson was new and untried when he was elected Governor of New Jersey and his political record in one term raised him to the presidency of this great Nation. No one asserts MT. Bunnelrs lack of ability, nor can truth fully do so. He has ability, his ad- vancement from position of school teacher to that of lawyer of excel lent standing, by his own endeavor marks him as such. Those who know him well will testify that he is work CT, and as he has worked for his own advancement in life, so will he work for the advancement of the country wherein his home and all his inter ests. He is pledged to secure for Al aska a full measure of home rule, the abolition of the forest reserves, the development of the coal and oil re- sources, the regulation of the fisher les, those things which mean so much to the people of the Territory and he will carry out his pledges.-Cordoya Times.

JOE SNOW, JR., LEADING
 POPULARITY BABY CONTEST

The baby contest at the great Elks' carnival brought forth some sensation al results last night. One of the startling things was the entry of lit. tie Miss Naimi Theolin Franzen, of Juneau, and she demurely trips along next to Joe Snow, Jr., of Douglas, who has jumped into first place with SS5 votes. Miss Franzen has S25. The next highest is Milton Christman, of Treadwell with S15. Little Miss Lu- cine Ericson, of Juneau, comes next with 76O. Tonight promises very interesting time around the voting booth. Partisans on both sides of the channel are preparing to name the winner. Gail Jackson's name has been withdrawn but some new star may ap- pear instead. The vote at the close last night was as follows:

suNNELL GAINING
 IN PANAMA VALLEY

Reports from Fairbanks and Valdez regarding the progress of the Demo cratic campaign are more than en- couraging. In Fairbanks MT. Bunnell has gained many adherents and the chances of carrying the division are considered excellent, and this in the strongest wickersham section of the territory. Representing the admins. tration party, which has already ac' complished so much for Alaska and promises greater things, MT BunnelI will receive from the thinking voters of the territory their ballot as a token of their appreciation and as a recog hilton of his ability to carry out tho legislative program to which he i' pledged by his platiorm.-Cordoy' Times.

TONIGHT MASKERS
 WILL HOLD SWAY


 Tonight will be the last night of the great Elks' carnival-the big event will go out in blaze of glory-tonight is mardl gras night. It will be one grand crush of merry maskers-no one will attempt to say at this time when the lights will be turned out but the management have declared that the lights will burn, and the nut slcians will play, and that the shows will show, and the entertainers will entertain, until the people are tired and want to go home-and they do say that this will be going some.
 There has been grand scurrying about town for costumes during the past several days-and anything and everything will be pressed into ser vice for the occasion.
 Last Nights Turnout
 Last night-the fifth of the great joy tourney-attracted C. great throng and everybody was happy. The main floor was damned with merry prone naders and the balconies were filled by interested spectators while the floor of the dance hall was taxed to it's capacity by lovers Of rag time.
 War Dance Declared of.
 The War Dance by Native Indians which was one of the great drawing cards for the evening failed to mater. ialize because the dancers were not present. The report was current that the Georgia had been held up by the Idzuma and the dance artists were ta- ken into custody as spies, but this report could not be verified, because the Georgia was not in port. Be that ast it may. the disappointment of not witnessing the great savage war dance was soon swallowed up in the excite ment of the hour and everybody was satisfied.
 Bowman and Purcelle'
 Bowman and Purcell excelled all previous efforts in last nights work and received generous recognition They pulled off Harry Lauder imi- tation that was certainly a scream These lads continue to grow more pop uIar every evening and Juneau is sor- ry that tomorrow will be the last op- portunity to gee them in action.
 Baby Contest Fierce.
 The baby contest is growing fierce. Everyone is getting interested in 1t and votes are now coming in by pla- toons. No one would dare venture a wager on the final outcome. Never in the history of Alaska has there been so many candidates and such warm partisans as are being developed in this campaign of popularity. The last vote will be cast precisely at eleven o'clock tonight and as soon as possible thereafter the name of the winning babe will be announced.
 Side Shows Busy.
 The side shows continue to do a thriving business All of the booths are receiving attention.
 H. R. Shepard was back on the can dy job again and had his store smile working.
 sammy Bernstein took a turn at managing the dance hall, assisting Dolly Gray and they kept Prof sumprs orchestra busy.
 Algernon Smith had a substitute running the shooting gallery for him says he was tired of counting the money.
 Manager Jackson was around every where explaining how sorry he was that the Indians did not come. Oak Olson was making himself sol id last night by handing out "Golden Gate" thimbles to all the ladies that passed the schwabacher booth.
