HUGHES ADVERTISES
 TO SAVE ALASKA

The biggest piece of gall in all this world is an advertisement in the Seat 1 tie Post-InteIHgencer of October 27. It is an advertisement that tells how Hughes would save Alaska if he was elected. There is no explanation how Hughes would save Alaska from Woodrow Wilson and our own Frank lin K. Lane, but the advertisement says so. Here it is with the heading Save Alaska" in big type: Election of Charles E. Hughes is a | vital necessity if Americans are to save for Americans the rich com merce of Alaska.
 The flag Of the United States might as we'll be lowered everywhere to the north unless protection, such as Hughes represents, is substituted for the present policy of making Uncle sam an international Santa Claus.
 Why give away our most valuable possessions.
 The first thing We know Alaska will be classed by the Democrats with the Philippines, and weu be hauling down the Stars and Stripes that have meant so much to every red-blooded American who ever entered the Northern land of entertainment and of gold.
 The fish industry of Southeastern Alaska, now threatening to pass into alien hands, is decidedly interest ng case in point. Yet it is but an in, tident in the larger plan of Canada ,o dominate everything north of the international line.
 The state of Washington has more to fear from Canada than from all | the other competitors for the Alaska trade combined.
 
 At a cost of hundreds of millions and subsidized by the Imperial British Government, Canada built her North en trans-continental railway, termi- hating at Prince Rupert, the back door of Alaska. That road was not built for glory-I but to make Prince Rupert the Cana dian gateway for Alaska to American markets. A royal trade commission long ago studied the North Pacific trade situation and laid plans to take AIaska's trade away from Amer | ican ports.
 The Ketchikan fishing trade, running into millions every year has been reaching the Eastern market through the ports of Puget sound. Washing ton has been the home of the fishing fleet.
 Al one blow the Canadians sought 10 center all this fishing industry in Prince Rupert, forcing American

WHAT THEY SAY OF
 ELECTION IN FIRST

Up to today the vote for Delegate to Congress was so close that a few more on either side would have de- cidcd it. Early today, however, de layed returns began coming in and it now looks as though Sulzcr will win out by from 800 to 800. At first it wus thought that Sulzcr would be re- qui,ed to carry the First Division by fully 1000 to be elected but as the ether districts did not go as strong for Wick" as it was believed they would Su,zer's majority of slightly less than 800 in the First will elect him.
 The election of SuIzer is the mos, gigantic surprise of the weel-not to his friends who were confident of his victory, but Co those who have voted prcsjsJently for Wickersbam for the past eight years and who imagined he was immune from defeat and who looked with sympathy on any one having the temerity to enter the race  against him. Considering the fact that Wjckcrsham four years ago and two years ago poucd more votes than all his opponents, Democrats, Social ist and Labor. combined, the victory ot Su.zer is one of the greatest SCOT ed on the American continent in Tuesdays elcction.-Douglas News.

boats to renounce the American flag for that of Great Britain.
 A moderate duty on fish will pre- vent Canadians with cheap Oriental labor from making all Alaska's fish Canadian fish A Democratic substi- ute for PROTECTION of this kind was so illogical, so poorly conceived and framed, that even a Democratic congress could not pass it.
 And today the consumer is paying a higher price for halibut in the mar ket than ever before.
 Hughes and the Republican party will save the fisheries for America and will save all thheo e
 and will save all the other Alaska commerce from falling into foreign hands. Is it any wonder that British Columbia papers are urging America to re-elect Wilson.
 There's too much at stake to let Mir. Wilson give away everything witness the shingle industry presented to British Columbia; witness coal.

New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1916-09-15
SENATOR B. F. PANKEY.

The election Of Hon. p. r. Pankey by the
republicans of Santa Fe county for their can
didatc for state senator, was the best possible
selection that could have been made.
Mr.. Pankey has served as state senator in
the last three sessions of the legislature and
was very successful in securing the legislation
in which Santa Fe was interested.
Aside from the purely local interest in Mr..
Pankey he is one of the largest cattlemen of
New Mexico. both a stock raiser and a stock
purchaser, and the Cattlernep Of the entire
state feel a personal interest in him, and feel
that he is the representative of that industry
in every part of the state.
Mr.. Pankev brings TO the position a wide
range of experience aside from the cattle in
dustry, having been engaged in mercantile
and other pursuits. and at one time when the
Bell Telephone company was monoDOlizing
telephone service Of Kansas, he was the chief
factor in organizing an independent company
which built up a half-nillion dollar system and
brought the old company to reasonable terms.
Senator Pankcy is able, practical and call
tious and gives the peoples business the same
careful attention that has made his own a
success. A better man for the county and
state could not have been named.
