Workers in Suizer Club Greatly Enthused by Speakers Reports
 of Outlook.
RIGGS PREDICTS VICTORY
Governor of Territory Tells of Sentiment of People and Praises Delegate
 to Congress.

The first of a series of meetings of the supporters of Delegate Charles A. Sulzer at the headquarters of the Sulzer Club held last night was a pronounced success. There were about fifty persons present, all of whom were either members of the Sulzer Club, or signed before they left the meeting. The speakers at the meeting included Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., William Britt, Judge John R. Vim, E. J. White, w. w. Casey, James J. Connors and E. c. Morris sy.
 The good reports of the sentiment of the people of the Territory on the Delegateship election, which indicate that Delegate Sulzer will sweep the Territory as he swept the primary election, served as an inspiration to those present to get in and do their best to make the Sulzer majority as large as possible.
 Gov Riggs told of his trip through out the Territory, and the disposition of the people everywhere to cooper ate in working for Alaska's develop ment. He said that while 1t was in no wise a political tour, but an official study of the needs of the Territory for use in his work in its behalf, he had a good opportunity to guage public sentiment. Knowing that he was a supporter of Delegate Sul- ger ana the Administration, people volunteered great deal of informa- tion, and he had no hesitation in predicting Delegate Sulzer's triurli- plant reelection. He paid glowing tribute to MT. Sulzer, and said that with him in Congress, the Governor and the Delegate could work together for the advancement of Alaska har- moniously and most pleasantly. | William Britt devoted much of his speech to the issues of the campaign. He showed that the statement which served him for platform four years ago when he was elected Represen- tative in the Territorial Legislature as a Non-Partisan was directly in harmony with the platform on which Delegate Sulzer was elected two years ago and his position on the issues this year. He eulogized Dele gate Sulzer.
 ] Judge Vim showed up the incon sistance of Judge Wickersham, and the vari-colored record he has made in Alaska.
 MT. Morrissey told of how hard Delegate Sulzer works at Washing ton. and how hard he made him worl while he was there.
 | MT. White said that Delegate Snl ger could count on large majoritiei at Skagway and Haines.
 MT. Casey said the time had come for the permanent elimination o Judge Wickersham. and to preven E. c. Russell from becoming a poll tical dictator in the Territory.
 Mir. Connors said if Alaska eve expects to emerge from the periot of depression caused by the war exc dus from the Territory the people must reIegate the Bolsheviki to thu background and put progressive Americanism and Alaskaism to th' front.
 The meeting was very interesting and other meetings will follow.

SOLDIERS ADOPTED" BY PIG
Odd Mascot That History Records as
Attaching Itself to Company Of
Kentucky Volunteers.

There Is in the history of the state
of Kentucky an odd incident in con-
nection with the invasion of Canada
by the Kentucky troops in 1872. A
company Of volunteers, destined for
Selby's army, assembled at Harrods-
burg and formed nucleus around
which the military recruits of the
country gathered on the march to the
Ohio.
On the outskirts Of the town named,
SO the story runs, the company saw
two pigs fighting and delayed the
march to watch the combat. When the
march recommended it was observed
that the victorious pig was follow
ing the company and when the men
encamped at night, the animal lay
down near at hand. OF course the SOL
diers fed their plump recruit. The next
day the pig followed them, and this 1t
did daily on the march to the river.
