CELEBRATION ON FOURTH WILL BE
 UP TO COUNCIL

Mayor B. D. Stewart stated today that the City Council on Friday night will discuss the adyisabIllty of holding a celebration in Juneau on the Fourth of July. The busi ness men of the city are beginning to take some interest," said the Mayor, now that the liquor question has been decided, and they seem to think 1t would be a bad mistake for the city of Juneau not to remember the day in some manner.
 "The census of opinion of those who have talked to me seems to be in favor of holding few children's sports, @ band concert, and probably a baseball game. and the council Friday will talk the matter over. If they think it-udvisable I will appoint a committee of business men and start them out to see what the bus mess men wish to do. and how much they wish to spend
 There is a chance that the city council will appropriate a small amount of money to help tho thing along. although this is not sure. It is certain that we should have a celebration of some kind, and we will have. if 1t Is possible"

MURANE PROBABLY
 PREFERRED GILMORE

SEATTLE. June 8. Republican politicians were surprised today to find that William A. Gilmore. in- stead of Judge C. D. Murane. had been made national committeeman for Alaska, succeeding Lewis P. Shackleford of Juneau. who has been committeeman for the last eight years. says the Seattle Times lt was generally understood Shackle- ford was to retire. but as Judge Murane had-been indorsed for com mitteeman by the Alaska Republican convention he was expected to re- ceive the iob (Gilmore has sue ceeded W. s. Bayless.)
 As the situatio his interpreted here. it is believed that Judge Mn rane. now resident of Juneau, will seek a re-appointment as feder al court judge in the event of Re. publican national victory lt is be lieved Murane decided that his chan ces for appointment are brighter if he holds no political position and that he consented to the change in the program. He Is in Chicago and before the Alaska delegation left for there it was in perfect accord. so whatever has occurred has happened with Muranes knowledge and prob ably with his consent
 Gilmore For Hughes
 Gilmore. the new national com mitteeman. is strongly in favor of the nomination of Justice C. E. Hughes, for President although he is one of those Republican dele gates who are willing to yield if giving up his preference will work out for harmony and advancement
 The two Alaska delegates to the national convention are former resi-. dents of this state, and Gilmore has offices here now. Shackleford is a former resident of Tacoma. and his brother. former Superior Court Judge John A Shackleford. is at the head of the traction interests in that city.
 Mir Gilmore was assistant secre- stary of the Republican state com mittee in this state during the 1898 campaign and was an active Wilson supported during the legislative fight of 1899. He was mayor of Nome and Republican nominee for Congress during his political activities in the North He now maintains Seattle and Nome law offices. his Seattle headquarters being in the Central Building.

BONE IS NOW
 MORE HOPEFUL

CHICAGO, June 13.--Scott C. Bone who has fingered at Chicago, is somewhat more hopeful of the Presi- dental situation than he was when the convention closed. though he be- lieyes now that Col, Roosevelt will finally come to the support of Jus tice Hughes and that there win be more optimistic spirit in Republi- can circles later
 For the present there Is intense bitterness in radical Moose circles" says Bone. wiring to the Seattle Post-lntelligencer. Continuing, he says:
 Roosevelt. in due season. by per sonal appeal and through his busy pen will support Hughes strongly. and do bis utmost to rally Progress. sives to the Republican ticket in the country's interest. Knowledge that has lead to this conviction. acquired In a day has removed the apathy in. cident Co the nomination. and has inspired partymen from all sections with faith and confidence"
 Lack of Enthusiasm
 Speaking of the lack of enthusiasm at Chicago. Bone says
 "There was but two outbursts of genuine enthusiasm at the Republi- can convention One was on the part of the spectators for Roosevelt and the other on the part of the delegates at the mention of the name of Taft An the other dem onstrations were artificiaily stImu. lated and staged There was abso. lutelly no warmth save in the Yer mont and Oregon delegations in the cheering which followed the decls. i've third ballot
 "The nomination of Hughes was accepted as the best possible solu- ton of the situation but 10 the dele gates as a body as well as to the gal leries it was an unlnspirlng compro mise with facts. The easy winner of the contest was m enigma, and inspired no enthusiasm. They did not know him then Today they know him and approve of him cor. dlally."
