SOCIALIST IS SHERIFF
HOLDS LEAD AND IS
 NEW DELEGATE

- thi5 writing Senator Charles A. sulzer has a lead Of 36 in the pre- eircts that have been reported, and it is eonfdentially believed that this siurality will be increased with the unropo-ted pree,nets in all of the Divisions. The Empire has no req con to qualify i,s earlier estimatea that Senator Suizer has been elect ed by from 300 to 300 plurality though there has seen a shrin<age Of a2 in his lead since Saturday morning.
 Wiekersham's plurality in the Third Division has been increased 5y later returns from t55 to 2to.
 Returns from Kasaan. where Wick ersham received 26 to sulzer's 2. and Seow Bay. where Wiekersham re- eeved g Co sulzer's 1. decreased sul- gers lead in the First Division from s4s to 521. Craig, Shakan and Yaku- tat. of the four unreported precincts are expected to give suizer plurali- tics. while Rake will probably show a small plurality for Wicker5ham. suizer's plurality in the First DiVis. ion should be between 800 and 500 probably nearer tho former figure than the latter.
 The Second Division has reported nothing further. Netherlands lead there without Marshall City, Unala kleet. Kobuk, Kiana, TayIoH Dime and another small precinct or two is t72. It is confidently believed that Marshall City and unalakleet will offset the major portion o' this anc that the other precincts will take care of the balance of it. Former Rerreeentative Martin Moran says Suizer will carry the Kobuk country and Philip Ernst and M. O. Solbefg of Nome, telegraph that there will be no Wickersham majority in sh' Second Division.
 The Fourth Division may be count ed as a stand-off. Wiekersham hai lead Of 9, and none expect it t' be increased. ln fact his FairoanN' lead has been constantly dwindlini as outlying precincts have reported This leaves the Third with sh' . only Wiekersham possibilities. lf th 1 Iunreported precincts vote as the. did when Wickersham ran agains eunnelI they would increase hi Third Division plurality by 93. Thi ] would leave Sulzer with cafe lea b of 500 or so in the Territory. 6u ! i. is expected that Wiekersham' { plurality will be materially reduce !. in the Third, if indeed, it is no wiped out entirely.

National Honor.
In desperation for a slogan our OPP

national honor.
Now national honor is not the whim
of an individual mind.
National honor is the composite sen

whole people feeling the emotions Of
nature and following the dictates OF
God
And 1t is for this reason that the
power" to declare war is conferred
by the Constitution OF the United

son, the representative decision Of
