ARDMORE ELKS WILL
INITIATE BIG CLASS
THURSDAY, MAY 27TH

Thursday afternoon Ardmore Lodge
number cas-, b. p. o. E., will have
as its guests 164 young men from
this district, who have signified their
willingness to undergo any ordeal that
may be imposed in order that they
may emerge from the palatial home
at the corner of North Washington
street and Broadway, with full set
of antlers engrafted above their noble
brows.
The affair promises to be a mo-
mentous occasion, and elaborate prep
araions are underway to see that
nothing is overlooked for the enter.
tainment Of the, embryo Elks. The
program TO date seems to take espe-
cial cognizance Of the fact that when
they appear upon the floor of the
spacious hall TO undergo the prescrib-
ed tests, everything will be there
and they will get all that is coming
TO them.
Promptly at l o'clock the parade
will form, and headed by a band from
oklahoma City, will traverse the usual
route with the candidates safely
guarded.
At 2:30 o'clock lodge will convene
and continue until all candidates have
been taken over the hurdle, after
which a buffet lunch will be served.
Secretary Julius Kahn has charge of
this part of the entertainment, and
that is sufficient guarantee that it
will be all that could be wished.
During the afternoon and early
part of the evening there will be some
good boxing bouts between well known
wielders of the padded mitts. These
will be interspersed by cabaret stunts
by several local and visiting Elks.
The big event of the evening will be
the dance at $3.50 o'clock, when the
Louisiana Five tune up their jazz
tools and begin to tickle the toes
of the assemblies guests. A few spe-
cial stunts will be pulled off while
the merry dance goes en-.
Invitations have been sent to many
out Of town people who are expected
to be here, and make this the biggest
event ever pulled off by the local
lodge, and they have pulled some
stunts in the past.
All candidates are from this dis
trict which embraces a major portion
Of the south-central section of the
state, and is one Of the largest classes
ever worked upon by the local lodge.

The Liverpool Post, commenting on the proposed fund. says: Tt argues poor appreciation of the character of the British people and of the conditions in this country that such a madcap scheme should have been evolved. Such pussy foot tactics on the scale now threat ened open the door to international ill-feeling that might prove very mischievous in the present state of the world.
 America has chosen prohibition for itself It is not absolutely in- conceivable that Great Britain may some day follow the example. But it will not be as a result of Amer ican methods. the more likely effect ot which might be to discredit the prohibition idea, and even to re- tard temperance progress on lines that are likely to appeal to the British temperament.
 We should be so much obliged if our good, kind friends in Amer ica would refrain from doing us good" says the Globe in an editor ial. "Unregenerate creatures that we are, we do not like it, and we have sort of idea that they might find enough to occupy them at home.

R. E. ROBERTSON WILL RUN FOR
 MAYOR OF CITY
Prominent Lawyer Will Head Citizens Ticket; With Him Will Be Day, Johnson
 and Bartlett

The members of the present city administration and their supporters have agreed to ask the following to file their declarations of candidacy for offices to be voted for at the coming municipal election and they have agreed to file:
 For Mayor-Ralph E. Robertson.
 For City Councilmen = Ray c. Day. w. G. Johnson and Glenn c. Bartlett.
 Two of the proposed candidates for City Councilmen are present members of that body-Ray G. Day and w. G. Johnson. Their terms of office expire with the present year. Mr. Day was elected by the people last year to fill out an un- expired term, and he received the largest vote cast for any of the candidates for the City Council. MT. Johnson was appointed to fill a va cancy caused by the death of J. H. Montgomery.
 MT. Robertson is one of Juneau's s leading lawyers, and MT Bartlett is manager of the Gastineau Hotel.
 It was only after great pressure that the candidates who have been decided upon were induced to file their declarations of candidacy. None of them desired office. but when assured very large number of people desired them to become candidates they consented. It is the conviction of their supporters that they will be elected.
 All the candidates mentioned will file on the Citizens ticket, the ticket on which the present municipal ad- ministration was elected.
 The municipal election will occur April 9th The Mayor will be elect ed for one-year term and the City Councilmen for three year terms. The hold over Councilmen are F. w. Hebert, Harley J. Turner and Charles G. Warner.
