Washington, D. G., October-In statement today by it's Chairman, Representative Frank P. Woods, if Iowa, the National Republican Con- gressional Committee urged the re- election of Judge James Wicker sham as a egate-to-Congress from Alaska.
 "Alaskans could not select a bet ter man to represent the territory in Congress than Judge Wicker sham, said Chairman Woods.
 His long service in Congress Of more than seven years has equipped him, from experience in Congress sional affairs, to represent the peo- ple of Alaska in Washington better than anyone else in the. territory. Always vigilant for the interests. of Alaska and the nation, Judge Wickersham is one of the most valuable public servants in Con- gress.
 A study of his work as a Member of the Territories, Mines and Min ing, Public Lands, Military Affairs, and Indian Affairs Committees shows that he has done more in Congress for the development of Alaska than any other Member.
 The national Republican Con- .gressional Committee believes that the people of Alaska will recognize the eminent services and high char acter by Judge Wickersham by re- electing him as delegate to Con- gress by large majority"

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Never be- fore in the history of the country have people and politicians been so completely at sea as to the coming election. The press comedies that the race is so uncertain that its re- suit cannot be forecasted with any thing but wild conjecture.
 The both sides are winding up red-hot campaigns and the excite ment is immense.
 Important Democratic Issue. F . .,, a.
 The press comedies that the most effective democratic issues have been: That Wilson kept the country out of war;
 That the Adamson Bill maintained industrial peace and that thus pros perity was preserved to labor and the farmers.
 The democrats have successfully worked up opposition to the republi- cans ancient slogan about the full dinner pail as an ugly boomerang. They contend the dinner palis are now fuller than ever.
 The leading democrats further assert that the Wilson victory IS certain. They claim that with the farmers, labor and majority of the manufacturing interests with Will son the issue are safe.

lowers. Wilson straws indicate that Wilson will get 3O7 and Hughes PA electoral votes.
 The run of the Herald poll indi- cated a gaining strength for Will son. For the first week Wilson had forty-six and four tenths and the final week showed Wilson 492, Hughes final 486, although well in the lead in the first week of the poll. Late in September Hughes held eighty per cent of the pro- gressives, Wilson seventeen, the final shows Wilson with 25.1 and Hughes with 73.6 of the Mooser vote. Wilson will carry New York by a substantial majority, Hughes will carry the state by slender ma jority, says the Herald's prophet.
 Slender c. o. F. Hopes.
 The republicans admit slender hopes for Ohio where labor will de- liver the state to Wilson. The de- ciding states it is admitted are New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi- gan and Wisconsin. The republicans are unreservedly claiming Michigan, capturing the city of Detroit and Ge- orgia is also said to be theirs. Ford's support is counted in for Wilson, say these republicans. La Toilette, championing the Adamsor bill and Underwood laws in Wiscon sin, quite ignoring Hughes, has helped democracy in Wisconsin where the German vote earlier in the campaign was supposed to in jure Wilson's chances. Wilsonites now claim this German stronghold as theirs.
