ARE SIMPLY HELPING FATHER. ,

Since November often warned our readers that they will not know who elected delegate Alaska until the canvassing board at Juneau renders it's decisions even after that there will probably be contest In the waiting time all that the interior newspapers do is publish the suits of the work of the canassing board is submitted from day to day. and the story of their work be taken from the newspapeen of Juneau that work appears them There are two newspapers at Juneau. There's the Elm pre the paper started by Governor Strong and continued der his ownership after he took the govenorsp he will return when he steps ont of office and is the Demo cratic paper. As Democratic paper take Juneau stories from the Empire Then there's the Dispatch Ed Rus sells Wickerslam Independent paper, the Citizen stories from that Both those papers been in the campaign for nearly year past and although the voting they both still working hard to elect their candidates The results of the days work of the canvassng board differently to each paper each night and they report differ enty they hepng father to win whereas they really have influence the result that the been cast Their intentions perfectly honorable but their point view differs.
 The Empire sent word that Vault precinct had been thrown out by the canvasng board and printed the story as sent It did not sound reasonable but stated repeated 1t transpres that 1t out simply set aside until the returns had been received from Vault but the Suzer reporters considered another vcorv for Suzer and reported Like other reports which been sent to Fairbanks papers regarding actions canvassng board the ultimate truth did out the story
 As we have often stated you will know who has ed when all the returns from the canvassng board then not know who will serve until after the contests decided This paper Sulzer but we want nothing but the verdict of the people decide the matterwe do not look for or desire action upon the part canvas sing board which will change any declaration the people m the polls We hope that precinct will be thrown ter how that precinct went for think right that the ignorance of cheap returning officer should in validate the votes of free Aaskans anywhere We do not he tate to state that for time has looked us that Wicker sham has shade the best returns if the voters Tn Alaska voted for him of the Sulzer want to Wckersham declared elected Whatever the re su it appears to that Wickersham has taught les son. and we believe that he pays attention the from home he can for the next two be all that expected from delegate from Alaska and probably than even Su Fer could be in his first term Therefore are not worried over the possible findings of the canvassng board nor would we intentionally print misleading story of work
 When the canvassing board quits work we will know who will represent Alaska Washington two years to come and we will not know until then What any newspaper or any re porter correspondent may say regarding the result will not affect it change it in the least and Governor Strong right in saying that you can't believe everything that into the newspapeswe issue of Strong news paper that would warrant everybody believing every word therein-Fairbanks News Miner
