PITTMAN TO VISIT
 ALASKA IN SPRING

Senator Key Pittman will be un- able to visit Alaska this fall as he had intended. A telegram received from him by Governor J. F. A. Strong says that his presence will be required in Washington and that it will prevent him coming to Alas ka until next Spring. '''>''.
 Senator Piittman's telegram to Gov. Strong was in response to a telegram of congratulations from the latter to Senator Pittman, upon the latter's election to the United States Senate. 'f. .. --'-,.
 Senator Pittman received more telegrams of congratuiation from AL aska.: perhaps than any other victor at the last election except the Presi- dent. Many of them have received replies among them Governor, J. F. A. Strong and Territorial Surveyor c. E. Davidson.

THE more an oldtimer thinks of the vote given to Sulzer against Wickersham the more he is amazed. Wickersham seemed to have a hold on the Territory that no one under heaven could have loosened. At this moment it looks as though Sulzer had big chance to win whatever may come later, and it is hard to grasp what political revolution in the Ter ritory this fact indicates. His attacks on the Road, Commission was one of the chief causes in the change in sen timent. People, will not stand for any filthy attacks on a mans private habits. We all remember what Lin eoln said when General Grant was accused of drinking too much. After Sulzer's vote we may all be excused if we inquire what brand is most popular with the Sulzerites and Dick ites. And at that -Sulzer's brother came very near being 8 candidate for tfig pfeside dehSy '16;nis 6ns tfe Pff6hibitiou ticket.-Seward GataHN.s. s.-ie

A CURIOUS PHASE.

Notwithstanding the fact that prac- tieally every newspaper in the coun- try, Republican and Democratic alike, have conceded the reelection of President Wilson, Chairman Will COX and Candidate Hughes are appar- ently the only ones holding out. Just why they refuse to admit defeat is a question which can only be explained by the fact that they are not good losers.
 And another mystery is that there should be such a wide difference in the territorial election figures. Sev- eral of the newspapers which have been giving Delegate Wickersham the lead, have been publishing figures that could not possibly have been ob- tained anywhere outside of a vivid imagination.
