WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S.-Charles
E. Hughes failed to carry the State OF
Washington because he evaded a clear
declaration OF his stand on the Alaska
situation according to the story John
+. RH'ialne, a prominent Seattle bust.
ness man is telling to politicians and
statesmen at the national capital. Mr..
Ballains points out that the people of
seattle have been much Interested In
he saving of Alaskan natural re.
sources from the trusts. They had
heard reports that Wall Street inter.
ests back east were planning to over.
throw the government program for the
development OF Alaska. Prominent
republican politicians asked Mr.
hughes to make clear his position on
tRls Issue. says Mr.. Ballaine. but he.
evaded the question and would give
the Washington people no satisfaction.
This resulted in mIstrust as TO Mr.
Hughes Intentions toward Alaska and
induced the people of Seattle and
many others throughout the state TO
vote TO re-elect President Wilson. ne

CENSUS TAKER
Gov. Major Names Well

May also Count Noses for Cape
SchOOl-tO Prepare City
Directory.

Charles I. Lewis, one Of Cape Girar-
dcau's best known election Judges, has
been named by Governor Major as the
official census taker for the Cape.
The appointment of census taker
is in response to a request that was
made by city ordinance.
Official announcement of Mr.. Lewis
appointment will be sent to the city
officers within a few days, it is ex-
pected.
At the same time that Mr.. Lewis
makes the census record for the city,
he will be instructed, under the city
ordinance, to acquire considerable
other information concerning the in
habitants Of the city, which will be
used in making city directory, to be
bound for the archives of the city.
The bill for Il census was passed by
the city council several weeks ago,
after the project had been urged by
Mayor Rage in a message to the
council.
Under the terms Of the ordinance,
the remuneration for the census taker
is to be fixed by the city council and
an effort Will be made to have the
school census taken simultaneously, in
order to reduce the expense of the
count.
At the last official census that was
taken in the Cape, there were between
5000 and 5000 inhabitants. The postal
estimate now made is more than
10000.
Mr.. Lewis will make a list of the
names of all the persons in the city,
together with their addresses, occupa-
ton, ages and other vital statistics TO
be included N the directory that Will
be prepared
