ROOSEVELT BOASTS

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-At Cooper Union mass meeting last night Roose- welt denounced the administration policies again. He charged that in the shadow of the greatest danger Wilson is fooling the voters and he urged the election of Hughes who, he said, is fearless and straightforward and showed it in his whole public record. Hughes, said Roosevelt, is absolutely uncontrolled. He hit the hyphenates hard and says no American could go ffty-Afty in loyalty. The times de- mand said the speaker, another Lin coln or Washington. The country pust swap horses to pass the national crisis which now confronts the nation. The speaker also scored Wilson for r. uniting bargaining in the question of the Armenian and Mexican atroci- ties and only promising future action.

Bets have been made here that Sulzer will carry Juneau by five hundred ma jority.

CAN'T BE DID

Still up in the air; still a trusting come-on, the Prohibition Billboard ,his morning sets another impossible and ridiculous stunt for us, as follows:
 Count up the men in our com
 munity who have been advised to
 stop drinking in order to save
 their lives"
 It can't be done. You may know one or two of them, if they told you of the incident, themselves, but a census would be impossible. The family physician would in each case be the only man who could competent ly give them such advice and if the family physician immediately adyer- tised the fact that he had so order ed, he would immediately cease to be the family physician and if he was not barred from the medical profes- sion for disclosing professional sec rets, he would De 50 well advertised as a "tattler" that his business would suffer.
 Try something logical, if you have it, and we will try to accommodate you, but We are not ready to estab- fish new rules between physician and patient, for the healing art was prac- ticed and its rules established some days before the News-Miner opened for business in Our Town.-Fairbanks , News-iMner.

Sulzer paid glowing tribute to GrigSby and also to the en- ure Democratic divisional ticket. He Is making a whirlwind campaign and the sentiment in Anchorage and vicin- ity is all for him. There is no Ques- tion now that he will carry Anchor age and it's neighborhood and the whole Third division.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 3. - The tre. mcndous efforts made by the Kepubh ,aAs for the eleventh hour rally ii.

There are reports that the Wilson drift is growing but the betting to. night, Friday, is ten to six in fayo. of the Republican. Inside Democra. dgures give Wilson an eighty thou. sand plurality in the city. If Iughe. carries New York his plurality will bI unquestionably small, twenty to fifty thousand. The Democrats say Hughes cannot, however, overcome the great lead of the Democrats iE the city. They admit, though, that things slipped a little on Thursday but they are still confident. The Her ald, which is supporting Hughes, says that Wilson money is scarce and the Republicans have cen forced to raise their odds.
