The presence oi few democrats in Ketchikan was never felt so much as today. While there were as many yes terday as today and while their pres ence was evidenced by their activity, none ever dreamed that a shock await ed them today. The shock came with the landslide that carried the Demo- cratic nominee to victory over his Re- publican opponent The Republicans today look at one another with a smile born of pain Not that they hold any thing against the victor, but because they were caught mapping. There was only one side active during the entire day that of the democratic side, the other side was in deep slumb- er-apparently.
 The returns for the Ketchikan pre- cinct showed that 189 voted for the democratic candidate while S3 voted for the republican candidate. Follow ng the example of the Ketchikan vot- CTS, the Charcoal precinct gave Sow erby 36 votes but spared five votes for John Reck.
 Radley gave Sowerby to Reck ,.
