QUINN WILL FIGHT
FOR SENATE BERTH
Says the People and Not the
Democratic County Commit
tee Shall Decide Problem.

Contrary to announcements of the
heads of Democracy in Middlesex
county, Assemblymaa Arthur A.
Quinn is candidate for the Demo
cratic senatorial nomination and will
stick to the finish. He announced
at noon today that he had not left it
to the discretion of the Democratic
County Committee as to whether he
or w. Edwin Florance should be
endorsed for the nomination. The
assemblyman maintains that the
county committee has no right to de-
eide the question, as such an act
would spoil the intent of the direct
primary law. Expressing his deter
mination. to remain In the race to
the last ditch, Mr.. Quinn said he was
entirely out of the assembly race but
was In the senatorial race full force
this year.
The announcement that Mr. Quinn
had left 1t with the Democratic
County Committee as to whether he
or Mr.. Florance should be the regu-
lar nominee for state senator, came
from most reliable source yester-
day, following the Democratic ex-
cursion on Tuesday, at which all
differences, IL there were any, were
supposed to have been patched up.
The announcement was spread
broadcast throughout the county and
1t was stated that the question would
be decided at special meeting of
the county committee at New Bruins
wick tomorrow night.
True, according to Mr.. Quinn,
there will be meeting of the COM
mittee tomorrow night to discuss the
nomination, but he denies emphatic
ally that he has LETT 1t to the discre-
tion of the committee as to whether
he or Mr.. Florance shall run. Mr..
Quinn Is determined to stick and let
the question be solved at the pri-
maries, as it properly should be, he
states.
Mr.. Quinn will be present at the
meeting Of the county committee.
1t is predicted that some warm argu-
ments will result

Serbia After Balkan Aid.

Special bp United Press Wire.
London, August 26-Serbia has
taken an important step towards Sc
curing the aid of other Balkan coun-
tries in the attack on Constantinople,
it was persistently reported in dip
lomatic circles today. The note
from the Serbian government hand
ed to the Italian foreign Office by
the Serbian minister yesterday does
not contain an unqualified agree
ment that Serbia we'll cede Mascedo-
MIA to Bulgaria according to informa
ton from sources usually well in
formed.
The fact that the Serbian note was
presented to the italian foreign Office
and not to the representatives of
the Entente at Nish, gave these re-
ports some credenee here. 1t was
pointed out that had Serbia made de-
finite answer to the request of the
Allies a reply probably would have
been handed simultaneously to the
of each of the pow
ers at her capital.

On the 24th day Of May 1915 the citizens of the town Of Juneau will have the opportunity to express their desire. by ballot if they are in favor of allowing liquor to be sold within the corporate limits Appre- ciating that the decision of the ques. tion means great deal to Che peo- pie Of the town of Juneau and to the welfare of the community we respect fully offer the following suggestions and information:
 It should be understood that the question of PROHIBITION is not in- yoIved in this election of consent, or non-consent, to the sale of liquors in Juneau Under the laws of Alaska you may still continue to buy and drink Intoxicating liquors whenever you please. even though the sale of it is stopped locally. By forbidding sale of liquor in Juneau, we will eli- minate the established and regulated legitimate liquor dealers and have numerous ablind pigs" over which there can be no regulation or control. In other words. we will have an in- efficient form of Local Option" which has never proved It's success where over tried
 A large proportion of the business done by the legitimate dealers in Ju- neau is with the people who live out side Of the city, and who are employ ed in the country tributary to Juneau in different occupations. These men make Juneau their headquarters and purchase their supplies here. If Ju- neau votes dry much of this busi- ness will be diverted to other conven- lent points where liquor is stlll sold In this event 1t will not only be the legitimate liquor dealers who still suner, but boat owners, restaurants. hotel keepers. merchants, bankers. and everybody who is dependent upon the towns property will be losers.
 The federal law, by which the pow CTS of the towns council are created, contemplates that all the money de- rived from licenses including that de- rived from the licenses for tho sale of liquor, shall be used for municipal and school purposes, intending that this revenue. supplemented by the revenue from taxation. shall be suR- cient to carry on the city government and maintain the schools. The law expressly prohibits the town council from levying q greater tax than two per cent or cresting a bonded indebt- edness. It is impossible for the town Of Juneau to raise more money by tax ation for the reasons, that, today Ju- neau property is appraised higher than the property in any other Alas kan town; and the appraised value of our property cannot be raised with any Justification to the property own. CT; and for the past six years the maximum tax of two per cent. has been levied.
 The Alaska Legislature has passed bil whereby the question of PRO- H1BITIoN will be put to the entire Territory at the next general cleo. ton. and if Alaska decides for pro- hibition, we will have an opportunity to amend and change the laws in or der to conform to the new conditions and to devise means of raising Q rev enue for the maintenance Of schools and the city government. To deprive the city of the money derived from the liQuor business in Juneau, until some other law is passed substituting other means of furnishing the neces- sary money, win spell bankruptcy for the city government

 Comparing these figures It will be seen that under the present condi- tions. the revenue of the city is 1885, s46.69 and the expenses of the city are sS4,447.4S. Without this revenue from the personal tax and licenses the total revenue of the city would-b s59,9ss.69. leaving Q further iudebt- edness of $24.45s.74 which. taken with the present indebtedness of the city, would give total indebtedness of $54.- 1O97l
 We consider 1t the duty of every man and every woman who is a citi- zen of the United States and over the age of twenty-one years to so to the polls and express themselves on this question, in order that the results will represent what the majority de- sire.
 We believe that if you give this mat ter your full and earnest considera- tion you will make the following con clusions:
 That 1t is necessary that licenses for the sale of liquor to be issued within the corporate limits of Juneau, because:
 That we should do justice to the liquor dealer and not close him up with only few days notice. l3usi- ness suffers by radical change but not by constructive legislation. 2.--That the liquor dealers pay 29es or about one third of taxes, and 1t is necessary that the city have this money for the support of our schools and for municipal purposes.
 Remember that the election will be held at the City Hall, on the 24th day of May. is15 That we should not subject ourselves, our neighbors, our town nor our schools 10 any financial difficulty or hardship. which will result if we deprive theh of the revenue from the licensed li- luor houses and from the tax upon he personal property which these iouses contain.

The meeting was one of much tur-
moil and debate, compared to which
the Baltimore and Macon conventions
both resembled very tame affairs. At
ter the battle, when we had wiped the
dust out of our eyes, the girls came out
victorious, filling most of the offices
with girls, as their sex were in the ma
jority among class members. The old
trick of splitting the opposing party
was tried by the boys, but failed to get
the desired results.
