ELECT sowERBY

The voters ot Southeastern Alaska must not per init the activities incident approaching spring them to ic-geJ that there will be election March 9th for Representative in the Territorial Legisa- tave There are two candidates for the office both of them good men. yet the people should consider the circumstances fully and every one should yo,e.
 While The Empire is glad Jo be able to say that the Republican candidate is a who is worthy of tEe complete confidence Of the community which he undoubtedly possesses, 1t is firmly convinced that the best interests of all concerned would be served by the election of Nr Sowerby, the Democratic nominee. Mir Sowerby also has the confidence Of the community in the highest degree. lie is a Of wide experience. Eo has been thoughtful student of Alaskan matters He is thoroughly grounded in the fundamental priuci ples Of our government. He is of superlatye integrity and fine ability.
 For the good Of the Territory, The Empire is hope ru that personal factioual and partisan politics may not play an important part in the next Legislative session. However. if party politics should become important. it would be we'll for the First Division to We already have two Republican members of House og which at least onehalt are Democratic Of the First Division representation in thc House or Represea tatives only w w. Casey is a Democrat At least half of the members of each of the other Divisions are Democrats-aud in oUe or two instances there are three Democrats to one Republican or Wicker shamjte
 The Empire does no, permit anyone to have greater respect for or confidence in Mir RecS than it has yet it is thoroughly convinced that tho best interests of all concerned would be served in the cleo ton of Mr. Sowerby.

 Mr. Godsteln aas given his personal guarantee that he will give absolute satisfaction to every per son shipping turs him. and the guarantee is one that has decades square dealing and business af iiciency behind E The shippers of rurs will do well to give him lair trial. and thus aid in creating fur market at the door of the producers There is no reason in the world why Americas greatest fur mar ket should not be here in the greatest fur producing section of America. The development of transporta- ton facilities has placed Juneau nearer the consum CTS of furs that St. Louis when she became the great American fur market and far nearer than San Francisco was when the Pacific coast fur business was centered in that city.
 Not the least of the advantages in shipping rurs 10 Juneau is that of time saved Here the shipper can get quick returns. He does business with a man whom he can meet personally. He places the busi- ness on such basis that the retail trade of the country has to pay for transportation and loss of .ime instead Of the man who secures and ships tine raw furs, and he trades on a basis that is under 5tGndable and satisfying.
