Delegates Primary Vote Greater Than Votes of. Wickersham, Maloney
 and Socialist.
LOOKS LIKE A VICTORY
Republican Contests in the Third and Fourth Divis : ions Brought out
 a Full Vote.

The official returns in the office of Territorial Secretary Charles E. Davidson show that in the Demo cratic primary Delegate Charles A. Sulzer received 3,450. votes for re nomination and William Maloney re- ceived 1,430 votes. In the Republ- can primary, James WickersKam re ceived 1,642 votes and in the Social ist primary Francis Connolly re ceived 263 votes. Jrtis M i't
 In addition to these figures the official returns show that Delegate Sulzer received 52 votes in the Re publican primary in the First and Fourth Divisions and 'Wickersham received 30 in the Democratic pri- maries. In the Third Division, while the Clerk evidently made no offic- ial returns, it is known that Dele gate Sulzer carried several precincts in the Republican primary, and that his total vote there in the Repuhli- can primary was 50 or more It is also known that w.. A. Gilmore and others got a considerable scattering vote throughout the Territory in the Republican primary. These votes all came from Republicans who re- fused to vote for Wickersham. In there are Republicans who refused to vote on the Delegateship, and left the place blank.
 Maioney Men For Sulzer
 Many of those who voted for the nomination of William Maloney in the Democratic primary are not Wick ersham men, and they will vote for Delegate Sulzer in the general cleo tion or for Francis Connolly, the So cialist Among these is MT. Maloney, himself who said before leaving Ju- neau and at Nome that he is opposed to the election of Wickersham.
 There are in Juneau many Demo crats who supported Maloney who have accepted the verdict of the pri- mary. and will vote for the regular nominee. a- .'
 It is regarded as safe to predict that all those who voted for Dele gate Sulzer in the primary election are still for him,
 Total Vote in Territory
 The official vote in the various Divisions is as follows:
 First Division-Democratic Sulzer 1919, Maloney 529; Republican, Wick. ershaf 346, SulZer 19, Maloney 1O; Socialist, Connolly 25.

FRETFUL BABIES
NEED a LAXATIVE

When your baby is cross and frctful
the chances arc it is constipated and
that mild laxative is all that is neces-
sary to make it comfortable and happy.
Inactive bowels are the cause of as
much discomfort to children as to older
people, and unless the condition is
promptly relieved is very apt to develop
serious illness.
For children there is nothing that
will act more easily than the oombina-
ton Of aimplc laxative herb, with pep
sin that is sold in drug stores under tho
name of Dr.. CaIdwells Syrup Pepsin.
1t docs not grippe and is free from
opiatc or narcotic drugs, is pleasant to
the taste, and positively effective; chill
dren like it and take it readily.
If you have never tried this simple.
inexpensive remedy, get a bottle of
Dr.. Caldwcl's Syrup Fcpsin from your
druggist and have it in the house to uso
the next time any Of the children seem
out Of sorts. A trial bottle can be OBJ
.aincd, free OF charge, by writing to

PoIitics and the Red Cross

The Wa Council Of the American
Red Cross. of which council Henry P.
Dawson IS chairman, has recently is
sued a statement in which it is re-
quested that persons in executive po-
sitions Of authority in the Red Cross
refrain from becoming candidates
for office, or, if they do become can
didates, that they resign their posi-
tions. This is in line with the effort
Dawson mas made from the begin
ming of his administration to keep
the organization free from criticism.
He has followed a policy Of publicity
regarding contributions and expendl-
lures, and does not intend that the
work Of the Red Cross shall be ham
nered by politics. All of which is to
be highly commended.
The war council, it should be OBJ
served. is a temporary emergency
body, giving particular attention to
the war work Of the Red Cross. The
organization has also regular officers
who attend to its business affairs.
When President Wilson became
President Of the Red Cross in 1918,
, by virtue of his occupancy Of the
Presidency of the United States. he
| found in the secretary's office
! Charles L. Magee and in the treas
urer's office Sherman Allen, neither
of them politicians but exercising
purely administrative Offices. Since
that time John Shelton Williams has
succeeded to the treasurership and
Stockton Arson, a brother law OF
the President, has taken over the
office of the secretary.
If it were not for the fact that
politics is adjourned" one might feel
that there is special need for the eff
for. of the war council to keep pol
itics out Of the Red Cross.

MUST MAKES
MASTER" PROVEN
AT HOG ISLAND

Philadelphia. Aug. 1.-The axiom
must makes master is getting
practical demonstration every day al
the Hog Island shipbuilding plant,
where a school of instruction has
been established and erstwhile clerks
BARRIERS, car conductors and motor
men. policemen, firemen. shoe
makers. butchers, bakers and indeed
representatives of every known en-
terprise and endeavor, are converted
into ship builders after brief tut
ton.
Most of these students, taught by
the hundreds in one branch or an
other, are taken out Of the instruc-
ton class after a week and placed
with iourneymen crews. While they
are being instructed they receive l
hours pay for 10 hours work at the
rate of 35 cents an hour. When they
have qualified. their wages inmedl-
ately advance. SO that men who be-
fore we're earning SIS or go a week
in their own occupations are now
making $40. $50 and $50.
Their earning capacity depends up
on their ability and the amount OF
time they put in. Many, in order to
swell their pay envelopes, toll longer
than the required 10 hours, and thus
frequently receive as high as SIS a
week.
The men find the employment con-
genial and fascinating, whether they
are joiners, carpenters, riveters,
seamers or otherwise engaged IN
helping to turn out ships for the
Government.
Approximately $4,000 employees are
on the payroll at Hog Island. They
are not all men and boys. There is
a representative number of women
whose duties. however. are confined
to Office or other light detail
just how large the total of the
weekly payments to the workers is
has not been officially disclosed, but
it is estimated to aggregate more
than 81 100000.
The plant is the largest OF its kind
in the world and the first ship of a
virtually amending string of vessels
will slip down the ways early in Au-
gust.
Shipping officials here are hoping
that President Wilson will fird the
time to attend the launching, for
which elaborate ceremonies are be-
ing arranged.

FATS SAVED
FROM WASTE

Washington. Aug. thrash heaps
in England. which have given up
thousands Of dollars worth of waste
fats for use in making munitions,
now are being robbed of their pic
turesQue adornment of tin cans,
which likewise will do their bit to-
ward putting the German army back
where it belongs.
Necessity for conserving metal
absolutely Indispensable to the con-
duct Of war virtually has eliminated
the use of new tin from civilian pur-
suits. It's place is being taken by
salvaged tin, gathered in the dumps
and alleys of the cities. and by vari-
Gus substitutes, such as paper and
cloth containers.
Figures supplied by the British
Foreign Office to official sources here
attest the great saving effected in the
use of tin plate. In 1913, the bis
cult trade used 10000 tons of tin.
This year that trade has had SIS
tons and will get no more. Old tins
will be utilized or the trade will do
without. Boot polish manufacturers
have received no new tin whatever,
as compared with 5000 tons annually
before the war. Scrap sent back
from the front in France is being
worked up.
Domestic tinware, tn, housewives
pride, is receiving $50 tons a quarter
where 5000 tons were used in 1918
Printing ink has received 81 tons this
year, compared with 237 tons in 1913
No tin has been allotted for the civ
ilian tobacco trade. 1ut the army is
being taken care of.
