The denomination of Gov. Burn
quist, of Minnesota, together with the
republican ticket, is source of graft
fication to the people of the country,
not only in Minnesota but all over the
union, where this contest was being
watched with much interest. The
battle was fought along patriotic lines
.Iownley and his chief organizers
being classed as disloyal from the
utterances they made on the public
platforms of the country at the open
ing of our entry into the war. Lind
bergh was the candidate of these men
and Minnesota felt that they didn't
want a man elected to the office of
governor who had a collar around his
neck to which was attached a string
being held by red card socialist. It
was not Burnquist's popularity that
spoke Monday in Minnesota was
the vote of the loyal people of the
state: Mr.. Townley says in the Cour-
ler-News that if they had an honest
count Lindbergh would have been
nominated. We want to say that if
the disloyal votes had been counted
and the loyal ones thrown out that
would undoubtedly have been the
case.

to see if there are any more coming
before we do so.
The Portal International has de-
cided that there are no pro- Germans
in that community, and gives the fol-
lowing reason:
Two weeks ago in these columns we
printed an editorial requesting any
subscriber who was a pro- German to
step into our Office and stop his paper,
as we did not want a prot German on
our list. To date not one of the SUBJ
scribers has stopped his paper, there
fore we can honestly and gladly say
that each and every subscriber to the
international is true-blue American,
or is intellectually in favor Of the
Allies cause in the world conflict.

--RuY w. s. 5.

The league papers in their despera-
ton, are attempting the dirtiest kind
Of tactics to discredit John Steen, re-
publican candidate for governor, in
addition to that they are ridiculing
any meeting held in the state not Of
nonpartisan origin. The attempts of
these socialistic organs to besmirch
the character of men running in oppo-
sition to their ticket will not get very
far and it is not always the largest
parade and the loudest band music
that counts. For confirmation of this
we want to call their attention to Min
nesota which has just given that
bunch good drubbing at the polls.
Townley got his organizers by the
hundreds to form parades and strike
fox the towns, intending to put up a
great big bluff and stampede the peo-
pie into supporting his ticket, but the
people seem to have had better sense
they listened to the band and then
went and voted for the loyal ticket.

ADVERTISING MAT
TER DISTRIBUTED

Advertising matter for the county
fair has been distributed over the
county during the past week and we
hope the people will heed the call.
This is one of our county institutions
which has not had the support in the
past which it deserves and which it
must have if it is to be the instrument
for good which it can and should be.
Not only must the people of the ,coun-
ty come to the fair, but they must
bring their products and exhibit them
there. Meet your neighbor in friendly
competition there. Be on hand when
the premiums are awarded. If he
beats you this year, learn why his
exhibit was better and then go home
determined to turn the tables on him
at next years fair. Bring your boys
to the fair and 60 with them through
the exhibition buildings. Compare the
different exhibits, thy to show them
why this exhibit was awarded the blue
ribbon denoting first prize, while that
one was third. Take the lessons
learned home with you and with the
boys, try to improve your own stock,
grain, or whatever it may be. This is
what fair is for, and if you fail to
learn something at the fair it is be-
cause you do not take advantage of
the opportunity offered you. Don't
60 to the fair just to see the races,
watch the animals perform in front
of the grand stand, or ride on the
merry-go-round. That part is all
proper and is there for your amuse-
ment, but if that is all you see, you
are not getting the full measure of
good from your day or days at the
fair. Be on hand in the forenoon and
go through the entire exhibits with
your eyes open, prepared to absorb
any lessons that are to be learned and
if you do this in the right spirit you
will find that it the best days work
you have done this summer. Let's all
get together on this fair proposition
and make this the banner county fair
Of banner state.

law has been issued by Territorial Att torney General George B. Grtgsby, in which he advises clerks of the court that they may not refuse to file dec. larations not accompanied by the fee as provided by the Session Laws. The opinion of MT. Grigsby is as follows;
 'The secretary of the territory has referred to me your letter to him dated January 10, 1918, in which you make an inquiry as to the proper charge for declaration of candidacy for nomina- ton to the offices of territorial rep- resentatiVe, territorial senator and road commissioner under the primary law (Chap. 48, Session Laws 1910.
 Section 13 of the above act pro. vides that each candidate shall pay for filing his declaration of candidacy fee of 1 per cent of the annual salary of such office, not to exceed $40.
 "The members of the territorial legislature do not receive an annual salary, their compensation being fixed by Section of the organic act as follows:
 Each member of the legislature shall be paid by the United States the sum of $15 per day for each days at- tendance while the legislature is in session.
 This Is in no sense an annual sal ary, but strictly per diem. The limit Of attendance possibly in two years at regular sessions is sixty days, but 1t cannot be presumed as a matter of law that any legislature will continue in session for that period; also, the governor of Alaska is authorized to convene the legislature in extraordi. nary session for period not to ex- ceed fifteen days. There is nothing to prevent the governor converting the legislature in extraordinary session more than once; consequently it is impossible as strict matter of law to fix the fee chargeable to candidates for the legislature. The act of the legislature in this regard is defective.
 q would advise you, however, as a matter of expediency to promulgate the schedule as indicated in your let ter-that is to say, to fix the charge of candidates for members of the legis. lature on the basis of $45O per annum the amount paid each member being usually $9O0 for two years. Should a candidate, however, refuse to pay this fee and insist on having his declara-
The Cordova daily times., 1918-01-24

tlon of candidacy filed, I do not be- lieye you would be justified in re- fusing to cause same to be filed. Prob ably there will be no disposition on the part of any candidate to decline to pay the fee.
 "As to the office of road commits sioner: The compensation of the road commissioner is fixed at 5 per cent of the amount of territorial money ex. pended by such commissioner, not to exceed $2,500 per annum. In this case also there is no strict legal basis for computing the fee to be charged a candidate for road commissioner. His compensation might be the maximum of $2,5OO per year, or it might be noth- ing, all depending upon the amount of money appropriated and expended. As the probability is, however, that the road commissioners will earn the maximum amount, that is, $2,500 per year, 1 would advise you to fix the fee of candidacy for this office at per cent of $2,5O0, or $25; but, as in the case of member of the legisla- ture, l would not advise you to refuse to file such a declaration should the candidate refuse to pay the fee"

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 24.-The Red Cross war council has appropria- ted $4,771,99O, for activities of the American Red Cross in Italy from No yember 1st, 1917, to May 1st, 1918. These appropriations are based upon sabled recommendations embodying results of observation and inquiry by Major Grayson NJ. P. Murphy, Red Cross commissioner to Europe, and also by permanent operating commis- sion which has arrived in Italy headed by Robert H. Perkins of New York. The Red Cross activities in Italy were undertaken upon a large scale after receipt November 2nd of a cablegram from Ambassador Page to the effect that help was needed instantly. Ma 1or Murphy was asked to go to Italy. he reports by cable, When we reached Italy refugees in pitiful con- dition were streaming down from the North. Indescribably pathetic condi- uons existed involving the separation Of the mother and children and cold hunger disease and death. The unex-
 pected military reverse had stunned the nation. If ever evidence of friend ship and confidence were welcome to a country 1t was in those days before the Piave line was established. For tunately the Red Cross was in a posi-

PRIMARY LAW j. INTERPRETED
 BY GR|GSBY

Considerable speculation is being in- dulged in by prospective candidates, territorial and federal officials and lawyers as to the effectiveness of some of the provisions of Chapter 48, Ses- sion Laws of 1917, which provides for the holding of primary elections in the territory of Alaska.
 The law as passed by the legislature provides that all candidates for mem Der of the legislature and all candi- dates for road commissioners shall file with the clerk of the court of the di- vision in which they reside their dec laration of candidacy, together with a fee equal to 1 per cent of the annual salary received for such office, not to exceed $40, which money shall be paid to the territorial treasurer. This money, by the terms of the act, was intended to finance the holding of primaries.
 The question now arises as to the salary of member of the legislature, and also the road commissioner. The legislator is paid $15 per day for the time the legislature is in session. This may mean a sixty-day session or it may mean more or less. Thus the salary provided is strictly per diem compensation. The road commissioner is paid 5 per cent of all moneys ex- pended, not to exceed $2,5OO per year.
 The federal law provides a regular filing fee of 10 cents for every paper filed with the clerk of court. A dec laration of candidacy rendered with the 10 cents filing fee cannot be re- fused by him, and any declaration filed must appear on the ballot.
 An opinion on the provisions of the
