WANT VALOENTE NAMED JUDGE
 AT NOME
Special to Daily Times.)

NOME, Jan. 27. - At a mass-meet- ing of the local Democrats held here last evening for the purpose of select. ing candidates for the various fed eral offices of the territory and this division, Governor Strong was en. dorsed for reappointment
 The selection of a candidate for the federal judgeship was the only one in which there was any serious contest. The parties nominated for the position were Attorney Cochran. of this division, and A. J. Dimond, of Valdez, both Of whom had many friends, and the vote was a close one. Cochran winning out by small ma jority, but it is still question whether or not he would be the best man for the position, as for a number of years he has been identified with the big mining interests of this section, and if appointed to the judgeship would probably be disqualified from hearing much of the litigation now in pro gress or which will arise during the next year or two. On this ground 1t is believed that Dimond would be bet. ter qualified for the position than Cochran
 Judge Corrigan, of this city. was the unanimous choice of the meeting for the position of United States mal shal and Hugh O'Neill was also the mani- nous choice of the meeting for the office of district attorney. The names of the persons selected will be sent to National committeeman Donohoe with [ instructions to use his best efforts to secure the nomination by the pre- sident.

HOLLAND FEARS LOSS 0F TRADE
 AFTER WAR
(By Associated Press.)

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Jan 29. Holland, with her important transit trade, will suffer considerably from an eventual economic struggle be- tween the present groups of belliger- ents, in the opinion of H. Colyn, for mer minister of war. He points out that an important part of Germany s commercial traffic passes through Holland, and that this traffic will not only be restricted If the two Euro pean groups exclude one another by high tariff walls. but that it must in any case suffer from the fact that a great part of the former German mar kets. especially in North and South America and in East Asia, has passed into other hands, out of which such lost markets will not be imm ediately recovered
 Incidentally MT. Colyn expressed the view that Japan will profit most from the war: she will not now be busted from the markets in the Far East that have been captured by her Of the European powers. Russia will probably make the most rapid recov cry, so the ex-war minister thinks.
