Remember that you must
place a cross in the square in
front of the mans name you
desire to vote for. On a reg
ular election ballot, a cross at
the top of a ticket votes the
ticket straight. On a primary
ballot, you vote for no one un-
less you place cross in front of
his name.

Senator Chas. E. Townsend
has certainly earned the re-
nomination he seeks at the
hands of his party next Tues
day. Like Mr.. Hamilton, the
Senator has been unable to see
many of his constituents during
this campaign. He has stuck
faithfully to his duties in the
Senate, and this, together with
the long and critical illness of
Mrs. Townsend, has made it i'm
possible for the Senator to do
anything in his behalf. He is a
man of great ability. Splendid
training, a clear mind, strength
of character and strong of body,
Senator Townsend is man of
whom Michigan may well feel
proud. The True Northerner
has no doubt but that he will be
nominated with a heavy major
ity at the polls next Tuesday.
The President will need him, his
party needs him, and his
country needs men of caliber in
the national halls of legislation.
There can be no doubt in the
minds of electors as to whom
they should support for United

The Prosecutor and Sheriff,
together with some Of their
active supporters are denounc-
ing the Progressives of four
years ago most bitterly in their
mad campaign for the Probate
Judgeship. After the Pri-
maries, if Mr.. Burhans should
be nominated, what will be their
attitude? Will they continue
to denOunce them, or will they
expect those whom they now as
sail SO bitterly to consider it all
a joke and support them on the
republican ticket in the election
this fall? The republicans can
hardly expect to win this year
without the Progressive vote.
If the Progressives are deserv-
ing OF such reputation and bit
ter denunciation prior to the
Primaries, it could hardly be
expected that they could con-
scientiously and pleasantly
boost and assist their assailants
in the election after the Pri-
maries. Think it over.

If ever a man deserved your
vote next Tuesday, it is Judge
Killefer. Four years as Pro
bate Judge have demonstrated
the fact that he is a real Pro
bate Judge in every capacity.
He deserves a second term.
Make no mistake on this when
you go to the polls next Tues
day.

There are several excellent
candidates on the Republican
ticket for Lieutenant Governor.
The fact, however, that Luren
d! Dickinson has served in that
capacity to the satisfaction of
his state, and the further fact
that without doubt the state
will go in the DRY" column
next fall, will undoubtedly re,
turn him. The Lieutenant
Governor as presiding officer of
the Senate, has a great power.
He names the committees that
frame the legislation of that
body. Mr.. Dickinson is a safe
man for the place.

A vote for Judge Killefer is a
vote for a deserving and
efficient man, and a vote for
principle,--a square deal with
justice to all.

JUDGE BROWN AFTER
 JENNINGS TO HOLD COURT

JUNEAU.-Judge Fred Nj. Brown of the Third Judical Division while in the city yesterday on his way home on the Alameda, accompanied by his family, paid a visit to Judge Robert Jennings and asked the latter to come to the westward and try some cases.
 It is understood that Judge Jen- nings was willing to comply if Judge Brown would return the courtesy by coming here at the same time and trying some cases.
 Among the cases to come up at the next term of court to the westward is the one in which District Attorney Spence has charged the Tillicum club and it's members, including some of the most prominent business men, with selling liquor without a license Since Judge Brown had been a mem- Der of the club in question he prefer red to have some other judge try the case.-Dispatch.

A BIG YEAR FOR ALASKA

The increase in the output of the Alaska-Gastineau mine from approd- mately 12,oOO tons of gold ore is merely an illustration of the tremend- Ous expansion that is certain to occur in Alaska during 1916,
 The Treadwell was the first of the great lOw-grade ore properties to be developed in this "Witwatersrand of America" It has produced more than $5O,OOO,OOO in gOld-abOut seven times the cost of the entire territory. Alaska -Gastineau is the second. AL asEa-Juneau, which began laying the foundation for another big plant last Monday, will be the third.
 While these three projects are of primary importance because of the extent of their operations, they are in number insignificant as compared with the total development projects now on foot in the northern territory. Of these smaller propositions, sever al will commence producing during 1916 and millions will be spent on the others with a view to taking out ore in the near future.
 The development of the Juneau mineral deposits is of particular in- terest to the territory and to Seattle because sixty per cent of the aggre- gate yield is expended on labor alone. The ore bodies, while of low grade, are of enormous extent and engineers estimate that they will be in operation several decades hence.
 The year 1916 opens, for Alaska under peculiarly suspicious circum- stances and there is no reason to doubt the prediction that it will usher in the great period of development of which residents of the territory long have dreamed.- Seattle Times.

 was City Attorney for the Town of Seward during the year ending in April, 1915. While City Attorney I gave written opinions on all import ant legal questions involving the rights of the city. l gave a written opinion in regard to every important feature of all proposed franchises stating the legal effect of every point involved in such proposed franchise, These written opinions were filed with the Municiual Clerk and became pub lie documents open to the inspection of the public, thereby enabling both the Council and the Public to know where they were.
 During my term the question of electric lights for our Public Schools became an acute issue, and the lights were furnished, and a flood of light streamed forth from our Public Schools and across the placid waters of Resurrection Bay, proclaiming to the world that Seward possessed an institution of learning These lights were furnished at a reasonable rate
 This year our public schools are shrouded in darkness through the short dark days of winter. l say, Let there be light"

BIGGER THINGS ATTRACT US

In the overwhelming catast strophe
OF Europe, and in the nearer home
embroglio across the Rio Grande we
Americans have completely lost sight
of the revolts and International wars
of minor peoples, except when they
bear directly upon the eastern strug-
gle, as did the Irish uprising. The
news, tucked away in an obscure cor
ner, the telegraph report, sandwiched
between a New York murder and a
California divorce, that Guatemala is
in state of revolt therefore smote
upon us as surprise. somewhat
lighted into humor by the informa-
tion that the "Chice Baron" had
been taken prisoner and had decided
to stick to his captors and espouse
their cause.
1t needs a Richard Harding Davis
to do justice to this latest Central
American opera bouffe war, with It's
troops measured in scores where Eu-
rope measures them in millions, and
yet, no doubt, it is just as serious
and just as grave business for the
citizens of Guatemala as the over
running of Belgium or the battling at
Verdun. Progreso and La Libertad
to them have assumed the Importance
of Rheims and Louvain. Jose Prado
Romano, commanding his revolution

ant figure as Won Hidenburg or the

alton of peace IN Europe and of plans
to prevent war in the future was Civ
en- an added impetus here yesterday
by an announcement at the white
house that President Wilson has ac-
cepted an invitation to speak either

fore a meeting of the League to En-
force Peace, of which former Presi-
dent Taft is president.
While no details Of what the presi.
dent will say in his address were dis
closed, it is understood he will make

calculated to attract deep interest in

PRESIDENT AND PLATFORM

And now it is suggested that the
President may write the st. Louis
Platform! Well, why not? AS he is
the issue, who knows the issue quite
so well2 And what better phrase
maker is there in the party? A plat
form written by him would at least
be readable. and widely read.
But if not actually the pen, he is
certain to use the blue pencil on what
the pen in other hands may have pre-
pared. Already, it is stated, plat
form material, or material thought
tit for the platform. is being sub
mltted to him for inspection; and, of
course. his decision about 1T will be
final.
There is nothing surprising or ir-
regular in this. Indeed, it is regular,
and follows precedent in his case.
Questions of legislation have been
referred to and settled by him. DEM
ocratic senators and representatives
nave, after interviews at the White
House sought by them, accepted his
views, or modified their own at his
suggestion. Why should not dele
gates to the St. Louis convention
avail themselves of the same privi-
lege and bow to the same authority?
This puts Mr.. Wilson a cut above
both Jackson and Cleveland. Gen.
Jackson was not a writer OF either
grace of force. He expressed him
self on paper rather clumsily. Mr..
Cleveland wrote we'll, but did not
write any of the three platforms upon
which he stood. In fact, he was not
permitted to dictate the most import
ant plank of two of those platforms.
He wanted to straddle the tariff in
1888, but the st. Louis convention
would not have it. The platform
committee rejected the tariff plank
he had sent out by the hands of A. p.
German and w. l.. Scott, and held
him in his message to congress of the
PASflp 1OSClipCl. LILO lllCluS,
with his knowledge, tried to straddle
the tariff in 1892, but the Chicago
convention would not permit it.
Again there was straight out tariff
for-reyenue only deliverance. In the
one case the democracy lost, in the
other it wen, at the polls
If, therefore, after debating the
legislation of three years, and the
distribution of patronage for the
same length of time, Mr.. Wilson die
tates, or prepares himself, the plat
form for his reelection, he will make
a record. There will be nothing in
the democracy's history to compare
with it. Win or lose at the polls, he
will stand apart as the most power
full man in his party since Jefferson.

OUR BORDER GUARD

America has talked of guarding
the Mexican frontier" as though the
problem was as simple as a live stock
quarantine across a state line and has
Illuminated against the "slackness"
of our military which permitted, first
of all the raid on Columbus, New
Mexico, and later, the raids on Bo
quillas and Glenn Springs, Texas,
not to mention numerous minor de-
predations all along the line from
San Diego to Brownsville. But
America, IN the mass, has talked this
way because it is totally ignorant of
the problem facing our military.
The Mexican frontier, which Gen
eral Funston has been set to guard
with paltry 10000 men, is / 1888
miles long and, from end to end, ex-
tends through some of the widest
country on the continent. Beginning
at San Diego it forms the southern
boundary Of California and cuts off
from the United States the long pen
insula of Lower California. From
the Colorado river it stretches along
the southern edges of Arizona and
New Mexico to the Rio Grande, fol,
lowing the river to Browns vile near
the mouth.
From San Diego to Brownsville is
farther along the border line, than it
is from st. Petersburg to Madrid.
From Boston to Havana is forty
miles less than the length Of this
frontier, while an air line from New
York to Phoenix, Arizona, would be
but a few miles longer. Compared
to our Mexican frontier the line of
the western battle front in Europe is
but paltry days journey, mere
400 miles, and yet there are hundred
soldiers engaged there to every one
we have guarding the Mexican bor-
DER
Funston's 40, 900 men, if stretched
out in single line along our south
ern frontier, would provide but twen-
ty. one men to every mile. Each man
would be 250 feet from his neighbor.
nearly a city block, and it would be
a paltry crew of raiders that could
not break through at any point and
accomplish destruction similar to
that at Columbus before sufficient
forces could be gathered to drive
them out. Even with our whole regu
lar army and all our national guard
along the Mexican border we would
have but 120 men to the mile and each
man would be forty-four feet from
his neighbor.
General Funston is doing as much
as any man can do with the troops
available, as consideration of the
above facts must convince.

OBEY LAWS OF THE u. S.

Germany, through Count von.Bern-
storff, has instructed all German
consuls in the United States to ad-
monish German citizens In their dis
tricts to scrupulously observe Ameri-
can laws. This is done in an effort
to end various alleged vlolators Of
American neutrality.
The ambassador acted on instruc-
tions from Berlin foreign office. The
action was announced in this official
statement from the German ambassy:
In consequence of cases which
have occurred of late the German am-
bassador has sent instructions to all
German consuls in the United States
to strongly Impress upon German
citizens living in their districts that
it is their duty scrupulously to obey
the laws of the state in which thsy
reside.
1t was said at the German embassy
that the instructions are designed to
prevent plots or lawlessness on the
part of German citizens who might
be disposed to engage in such. The
German government, it said. looks
with great disfavor upon any such
conduct and desires that they shall
not engage in any undertaking in any
way outside of the law. It isnot dis
closed whether specific cases have
been brought 10 the attention Of the
German government, but it is made
clear that Berlin officials want the
United States and its people to under
stand that they have not countenanc-
ed any illegal affairs with which Ger
man citizens or sympathizers In this
country have been connected,
Bernstorff's instructions were re-
ceived last night and were forwarded
to German consuls immediately-
