 ELECTION

On the last mail, U. s. Commits sioner Rasmuson and Mayor Ashley each received notice from Governor Strong and Clerk of Court Bell, in- structing them to give the necessary notice and make the necessary preparation for a special election to be held on Tuesday, March 9th, for the purpose of electing one re- Ipresentative in the First Judicial division of the Terrtory, of Alaska to the legislature to fill the va cancy occasioned by the death of the late John G. Held.
 Notice has been received in Skagway relative to the holding of Republican or Democratic cuacusses for the purpose of choosing candi- dates to make the run, and no information is obtainable as to who will be put up by the two par ties.
 Owing to the limited time provid- ed Cor the election, it is out of the question of holding a divisional nominating convention, and it is highly probable that the question Of naming candidate will be Left up to the Republican and Demo cratic central committees.

If the violations Of the Australian ballot provision of the law and other irregularities surrounding the returus of Utica are disregarded, Philip CorTigan, DcmCcrat, will be included among the Representatives in the Second Division. If they are regarded and Utica is not counted Thomas M. Reed, Republican, and not Corrigan, wul be elected. From a political standpoint these conditions are ditions are reversed in the Third Di vision, If the violations of the Aus tralian ballot provision are disre- gardeF In that Division, Joseph Murray, Frameite and Republican, is elected.

Opening of Fall Season to Take
Place at Murray Next Saturday;
Theatre is Newly Decorated

The opening of the Murray theatre
will take place on Saturday. November
II, conducted on the same general
lines and offering the same big at
fractions as the Strand and Rialto
theatres in New York, and Circle thea
tres in Indianapolis.
The introduction of Triangle and
Aircraft photoplays to local theatre
goers, presented with all those import
ant artistic accessories and effects of
atmosphere which distinguish the
above mentioned theatres from all
other playhouses, will unquestionably
mark an epoch in the annals of motion
pictures locally.
The silent drama will reign SUI
preme at the Murray theatre, where
Triangle and Aircraft productions will
include stories selected solely for their
picture merit, and while great names
are in the list of authors, the p.eoduc-
ton will be the principal thing. A
glance at the names of the players
for the opening week will show casts
of uniform excellence have been Sc
lected for the various plays, and will
also disclose the entire absence of
antiquated stars" Of questionable
ability, whose days have long since
gone by. -5.-

OF FOOD SUPPLY
Nomination Submitted To
State Board-Telegram Is
Made Public.

Nomination Of a county food direc-
tor has been made by the members OF
the Wayne County Defense Council
and submitted to the State Council Of
Defense for ratification. No action
has been taken on this nomination by
the State Council, but a prompt con
firmation is anticipated. The name
of the food director is being withheld
until his nomination has been confirm
ed
This office is one of the most i'm
portant on the County Council of De
Tense. This officer will have super

ed
DR.. Harry E. Barnard, of Indianapo-
lis, Indiana, food administrator. has
made public a telegram recently re-
ceived by him from Miss NJ E B. Gull
bertson, secretary of the Wayne Coun-
ty Council of Defense, at the time the
food conservation campaign was being
conducted in the county. The tele-
gram reads:
Rumors Are Speedy.
"Rumors are travelling faster than
the food card agents and it is diff
cult indeed to persuade people that
they are not signing something over
to the government when they sign the
food enrolment cards"
This telegram is additional confirm
alton to reports published in The Pal
ladium during the progress of the food
conservation campaign that very &C
tive German propaganda was being
employed in Wayne county, especially
in Richmond, in an effort to defeat the
aims of the food conservation move
ment.
According to Dr. Barnard's report
Albion was another Indiana conlmun-
ity where German propaganda was eff
fective during food conservation week

ers had signed food pledge cards re
ported to their teachers that their
mothers had declined TO display their

whose name is now known to the De

display of these window cards spotted

DR.. Barnard said that Mayor McClel-
/ Ian of Auburn had reported that ru-
| NOR was persistent there that the gov
| eminent would fix maximum price
| for hogs of SO to s12 per hundred

| conservation campaign was seriously

An example of this trait was strik-
ingly shown on the occasion Of a re-
cent statement issued by the commit
tee on public information concerning
a brush between an American de-
stroyer and German U-boat The
statement indicated that the submar-
inc had certainly been sunk because
oil was discovered on the water after
the explosion of depth charge.
Some weeks prior to this Admiral
Benson he'd explained to the newspa-
per men that oil on the water meant
little, as the Germans simply set oil
free sometimes as a sort of camou-
flage to induce the destroyer to leave
the scene under the impression that
the submarine had been destroyed. On
the other hand the statement by the
committee emphasized the Importance
Of the oil
The admiral was asked about this
phase OF the committees report All
the correspondents expected him to
frame his reply in such manner that
it would as nearly as possible bear out
the deduction of the committee. But
his answer demonstrated how facts
are always of prime importance to
him in every matter pertaining to the
navy.
The oil on the water does not
mean that a submarine has been
SUNK he explained quietly. Our in
formation shows that this must not
be taken as indicative of the destruc-
ton of the submarine"
Admiral Benson is apt to disregard
civilian conceptions of censorship
rules on naval affairs For example
there was the greatest secrecy about
the most general phases of the cam
paign against submarines until Ad-
miral Benson happened one day to be
acting secretary. He answered all
proper questions and saw no reason
why the answers should not be print
ed.
! On the question of conveying ships
and taking them in groups it was like
wise Admiral Benson who explained
the matter in a general but interest
| ing way. He saw no reason why he
should not. But if he had stopped to
! inquire of persons charged with en-
| forcing censorship rules he would
| have found that he was violating the
regulations
Much of Admiral Benson's time at
home is spent in working on the con-
stantly increasing maze of problems
which come under his attention. His
home life is simple and ideal His two
sons have adopted the navy as a ca
raer and his daughter is married 10

Planned For War in Time of Peace

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-Admiral
William S. Benson. charged with the
operations Of the fleet and with the
preparations and readiness of plans
for its use in war" is the most import
ant man in the navy today and yet,
save within naval circles, little is
heard of the man himself or of the
work he has accomplished
Admiral Benson has served as chief
of naval operations since May of 1915
and long before Americas entry into
the war he had prepared and com
pleted many plans of naval policy and
action that would meet almost all war
time eventHalities. That so little is
known of him even among many men
high in Washington affairs is most
likely the result of his quiet meth
DDS.
Decides Naval Questions.
Deciding matters of naval strategy
in home and foreign waters, looking
after the details of every phase of
Americas naval war program ashore
or afloat, and supervising all matters
relating directly or indirectly to naval
war plans, these are the most import
ant Of the duties which Admiral. Ben
son has to perform. From a practical
viewpoint he is commander in chief
of the navy ashore and afloat He is
to the navy what the chief of staff is
to the army
Admiral Benson's decision is virtll-
ally final. He must coordinate all the
ramifications of the nations naval
policy into such shape that they do
not conflict and that they do not re-
tard the most important plans In the
vast complicated machinery of naval
endeavor there must be no short cir
cults, no wires crossed, no conflicting
plans. And Admiral Bensons duty is
to see that this rule is effectively car
ried out
Had War Plans Ready.
The war games in which the battle
ships Of the fleet as well as other
crafts participated before this nation s
entry into the war were initiated by
Admiral Benson, who Widened the
scope of previous plans so they includ-
ed possibilities or real war When
war between the United States and
Germany broke out Admiral Benson
was asked to draw up plan for the
protection of the Atlantic coast and
for the acquisition of ships that were
lacking. 1t was believed it might take
month to complete it. Admiral Ben
son went to his desk and brought il
out in complete form. He had thought
