telegram from Valdez last night, which is printed elsewhere in this issue of The Empire.
 The Empire has been handling the returns from teh election as a news paper, and it has printed, generally speaking, the returns from the vari- ous Divisions of the Territory ahead of any other paper It has not only received the returns as they have been gathered by four other Terri torial newspapers, but it has had them checked as they came into the offices of the United States Dis trict Court clerks. If there are er- errors anywhere, they are not The Empires errors.
 Perhaps in a few instances-one precinct is all that can be recalled now-The Empire was not the first to print the returns in Southeastern Alaska from precincts of other Di visions, but that is because those who had been requested to send the returns in did not do it until some one else had sent them to another paper.
