THE POTATO.

Mash a potato.
Put it in bread.
And you'll find your biscuits
AS heavy as lead.
Throw that biscuit
at Kaiser Billy.
Without a doubt.
Twill knock him silly.
Then rush in while
He's staggering round.
Bind him fast
To the chilly ground.
Clasp your hand
Round HIS skinny neck
And shout. We've won this war by
heck"
Our friendly potato we all did save.
And now the Kasers in his grave.

MORE GAINS FOR SULZER IN THE
 THIRD DISTRICT

VALDEZ, May 6.-Returns from mar and corrected returns from Ko diak increase Sulzer's majority over Maloney by S3 and his lead over Wickersham by 36.
 The returns follow:
 Chitina Sulzer 22, Maloney O. Wickersham g.
 McCarthy-Sulzer 31, Maloney Wickersham 40.
 Katalla Sulzer 2S, Maloney 3 Wickersham O.
 Elamar -Sulzer 6, Maloney 4 Wickersham 4.
 Katalla precinct which had beer reported as giving Sulzer 45 votes and Maloney B. actually gave Sulzel 4S and Maloney 3.
 The totals as far as reported ir the Third Division are:
 Sulzer 791, Maloney POP, Wicker sham 323.
 Why Wiek's Big Vote
 The large vote for Wickershan at COrdOVa and Eyak, where he re ceived 73 to Sulzer's 89, and Me Carthy where he received 40 to 3l for Sulzer, does not indicate that he would carry these precincts at a gen eral election. It simply means that there was a large vote in the Repub lican primaries because of the desire to vote for H. A. Slater for Repre- sentative and James L. Galen for Road Commissioner. Both are from Valdez. The indications now are that Wickersham would not carry a single precinct in the Third Division in a straightout contest against Sul ger.
 Totals To Date
 The total votes for the candidates for Delegate from all the Divisions as far as heard from are as follows
