RIGGS ENDORSED
 FOR GOVERNOR
JENNINGS, PREFERS
 REMAIN ON BENCH
Organization of the First, Third and Fourth Divisions Favor AppOint- ment of Member of Alaska Engin. eeriny Commission for Office.

Thomas Riggs, jr., member of the Alaska Engineering Commission, has received the unanimous endorsement of the Democratic divisional commit tees of the First, Third and Fourth divisions of Alaska. the majority of the Democratic Central Committed and of the National Committeeman, for the office of Governor of Alaska. Judge Robert w. Jennings. of Juneau who has to this time been promin- ently mentioned for this position. has signified his preference to remain on the bench of the First Division, and, in fact, has been nominated by the president to succeed himself to that position, and as he has made'in that position a most enviable record for himself, it is only reasonable that his preference must naturally lie in con- tinuing in the judicial branch of the territorial government.
 MT. Riggs, who thus becomes the leading candidate for the executive office, is a man admirably fitted for the position, and in fact could have undoubtedly have had the appoint ment four years ago had his friends insisted, but his name was withdrawn out of consideration for the friends of Governor Strong. who were urging his appointment.
 With the endorsement of the Dem- ocratic organization in the Territory and consequently the support of Dele gate Sulzer, the appointment of MT. Riggs is practically assured.

ENLISTED MEN MAY BE
 CALLED OUT THIS MONTH

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 1S.- Enlisted men of the national guard who are to attend officers training camp will not be ordered to camp be- fore May 20. Delay in designating men has caused the postponement which allows regimental commanders to make better selections in picking out twenty-five enlisted guardsmeD who will be sent from each regiment and the camps will not be opened to officers of the National Guard. as the secretary of war has ruled they are needed with their regiments. This does not apply. however, to such na- tional guard officers as may be as- signed to instructors.
 The war department urges that the most capable non-commissioned of- ficers of the guard be among those selected to attend camps.

It is further pointed out that should the President send the bill back to Congress 1t would greatly de- lay the passage of this and other leg islation which is needed at once.

EMPIRE STATES
 ITS POSITION
URGES UNITED SUPPORT
 OF DELEGATE SCLZER
Takes Position Delegate Been Chosen to Leadership and Democratic Par ty must Follow Lead-(iOvernOr Must Work in Harmony.

JUNEAU, May 1S.-The Empire today takes the position that the Dem ocratic rank and file of Alaska has chosen Delegate Charles A. Sulzer as the party leader until the next pri- mary and the choice of that primary has been approved by the voters. Ii the party is to be useful: if the party is to be anything but mob quarrel ing over offices. it must follow Sul- gers leadership. Any attempt that is made now to go over his head but gives aid to the enemies of the Dem ocratic party and constitutes party treachery. Sulzer's leadership is em- phasized by the circumstances that is is approved by the decision of an overwhelmingly elected Attorney Gen. eral, the National Committeeman. the Territorial Central Committe and a majority of the Divisional Committees and the Democratic press of the Ter ritory. It Is further emphasized by the circumstance that it offeres the only way for concerted action in Alaska and in Washington that is so essent- ian to good government and progress in Alaska.
 The Empire, therfore, believes that none not in harmony with this idea. or who will not work in accordance with this program should be consid cred as a candidate for governor of the territory. The Empire favors Judge Jennings if he will accept the position. otherwise it favors some one who will work aggressively for and in concert with the Delegate and oth- CTS for Alaskan progress.
