Saturday Oct. 10. Whom Shall 1t Be?

w nom oI1S!i IL DC!
 Out of a list of 16 candidates, five members of the legislature will be chosen at the coming cleo tion, Who out of that list should be selected, having due regard for the best interests of the peo- ple of Alaska and those in the Fourth division in particular?
 For some reason both daily pa pers and the Citizen are support ting the Democratic ticket from top to bottom, something that ne yer occurred before. That ticket is headed by Tom McGowan fol senator, and includes E. W. Crif- fin for representative. It also ln- cludes w. T. Burns and two other men from the lower country, but the two first named are the only ones We see mentioned, so 1t Is ey ident the others are figured as not amounting to much; and that is about the facts of the case. All the others are to be dominated by McGowan and Griffin, the cor poration men, Burns, we know from bis record in the last do-no- thing and incompetent legislature will not cut much of a figure, and that is one reason of his having been put up, and another reason Is that it was hoped that he would cut into the Socialist vote. The other two were nominated be- cause they live in other sections of the division, and through them it was thought to strengthen the ticket in those sections.
 Now that is the situation with regard to the Democratic ticket. There is no doubt but it is Mo Gowan-Griffin-N. CIV hite Pass and maybe Guggenheim affair all the way through. This conclu- sion is borne out by the singular unanimity of the newspaper SUD- port here, indicating a pork bar rel of such size as would be fur nished only by co ~porations.
 Ye good people of the Fourth division, working men and wom- en in particular, how do you like the prospect? Are you going to send those men to Juneau and give them chance to tnwart any legislation that may be proposed for your bennft, and t rivet the chains of transportation and oth- CT monopoly even more securely upon you than they are now.

The impression is gaining ground day by day that Dan Cal Iahan is in the field for the sole purpose of electing McGowan senator.
 The logic of the situation leads .nescapably to that conclusion. In the first place Callahan cannot oe elected. Except in Fairbanks where a few have learned to ;aks him seriously, his candida y is looked upon as a joke. He bases his claims to fame and po- 'ltlcal preferment solely upon the fact that he has had an almost steady job on the cily council, and the fame he has gained thro' that has arisen. not because of any ability he has ever displayed or anything he has done; but be- cause he has usually been at outs with the majority, and formed a faction consisting of himself a. lone. The humor of the situation has been more responsible for hls long membership on the council than anything else. It looks hardly reasonable that a De mocrat such as he is, with politi- tical ambition, would divorce him self from his party and go into the race in opposition to the reg ular. r.nominee, not at least with. out first having made some etfor, Obscure tbe party nomination.
 And then his having voted prox. ies for MeGowan and being { member of the Democratic cam pa gn committee is proof that he IS not on the square. It is too thin; Callahan posing as a work ing mans friend is in tEe field te capture those ~orkingclass votes that would under 10 clrcumstan ces go to Mcuowan and would O. tnerwise go to Ringdahl, the So cia'ist candidate.

Philadelphia. Pa. May s.-The es-
tate OF the late George F. Baer. for
merly head of the Reading Railway
corporation. is left, with the exoep-
ton of a few minor bequests, to his
widow, his five daughters and his grand
children. The will was filed in Read

Mrs. Baer receives 100000 and the
personal property OF her husband. each
grandchild receives $4,000 and the
five daughters receive the remainder
OF the estate in equal portions.
Absence OF public bequests is ac-
counted for by friends by the fact
that Baer was generous in his life. He
gave $4,000 TO Franklin and Marshall
college. Lancaster. his alma mater, a
few years ago. and 100000 10 the

Philippine Commander on
Way to Texas to As
sumo Command.
MAY BE SEMITIC MEXICO
New Situation May Necessitate
Recasting of Plans for Pos
sibIe Campaign.

Washington, d. c., May S.-The un
expected arrival at San Francisco OF
Major General ]. Franklin Bell, who
recently relinquished command of the
Philippine division, and his hasty de-
parture for Texas City to assume COM
mand of the remaining troops of the
Second army division, has created a
situation which may require a recast-
ing of plans recently perfected for the
utilization of the Second division in
a possible Mexican campaign.
General Bell is acting under orders
issued last winter in repairing to
Texas City to take this command.
When Major General Leonard Wood
was relieved from duty as chief of
STAFF about a fortnight ago il was
given out at the war department that
he was to take command of the Sec
ond division in the event that force
was called upon for Mexican service.
General Wood has been proceeding
under that understanding to perfect
the plans of the general staff for
Mexican campaign, IL one should be
required, and it is understood that if
the TeHldluucT VI the ulNlSlOn was OI-
dered to follow General Funston's Fifth
brigade to Vera Cruz General Wood
would accompany the expedition
be in supreme command of all the
American troops gathered in that part
of Mexico.
All this was predicated upon the
belief that General Bell was returning
from the Philippines in a leisurely
manner and would take a long vaca-
tion before returning to active serv-
ice. But at present. as the orders
stand at the war department, General
Wood is commander of the eastern
department of the army, with head
quarters at Governors Island, n. Y,
and General Bell, upon his arrival at
Texas City Saturday, becomes COM
mander of the Second army division.
The latest distinction that has come
to General Bell is of particular inter
est here, inasmuch as he married a
Rock Island girl, the latter a daughter
of the late Captain and Mrs. T. J.

BRIEF HONEYMOON
FOR The M'AD00S
Secretary, Welded Yesterday,
is to Be Back at His Desk
in Two Weeks.

Washington, ID. c., May S.-Miss
Eleanor Randolph Wilson, youngest
daughter of the President and Mrs.
Wilson, was married shortly after
o'clock yesterday afternoon in the blue
room of the White house to William
Gibbs McAdoo, secretary of the treas
ury.
While the least brilliant of any of
the White house marriages in recent
years, the occasion stands out as one
of unusual conditions and interesting
contrasts.
The Marine band occupied it's usual
position in the main corridor. The
program OF music had been prepared
by Miss Margaret Wilson. The infor-
mality of the days program resulted
in short delay, and it was ten min
utes after o'clock when the music
of the ''Lohengrin Wedding March"
announced the arrival of the bridal
party from the upper floor.
In the lead came Miss Sallie Nc
Adoo, the small daughter of the BRIDE
groom, followed by Mrs. Sayre and
Miss Margaret Wilson. Immediately
preceding the bride, who was escorted
Lane, the 10-year-old daughter of the
secretary of the interior, and Mrs.
Franklin X. Lane.
The bridegroom, with his best man,
Past Assistant Surgeon Cary T. Gray
son, u. S. N, entered the blue room
with the first strains of the wedding
march, accompanied by Rev. Sylvester

Mrs. Wilson, Miss Helen Woodrow

little company of close friends of the
bride who had been stopping at the
White house for a few days, entered
TIE blue room shortly before the ap-
pea rance of the bridegroom and best
man and took their position in the
space at the right of the prie dieu. The
general company, less than 20 in num-
er stood opposite.
The guests, relatives and close
friends of the two families, were

AS the president gave the bride |
away there was an affectionate smile |
IN his face. He stepped back from the |
lItar beside Mrs. Wilson. and as the |

happily as they led the procession from
