ALASkANS GET TOGETHER

The spacious plea for Republican votes made by MT. GrigsDy, the Dem- ocratic candidate from Alaska, on the ground that he would join National Committeeman J. c. Mcbride in recommending Republicans for terri torial positions has been properly re- buked. The attempt to create dis sention among Republicans by giving the impression that the Democratic delegate to congress had working agreement with the Republican na tiona1 committeeman on the distribu tion of appointive offices in the ter ritory has met with little success. MT. Mcbride utterly repudiates any such purported agreement and an nounces emphatically that there is the best of feeling and the closest harmony between him and the Repub- 1ican candidate for delegate, Sena- tor Dan A. Sutherland.
 In his opening campaign speech at Juneau several weeks ago MT. Grigs- by sought to convey the impression that Senator Sutherland and J. c. Mcbride was unfriendly and to cast a doubt on MT. McBride's loyalty to the Republican party, which he represents in the national councils. He suggested that, since Senator Sutherland and Committeeman Mo- n-.l the Republicans could look to him for help. He promised to recom mend Republicans for territorial pos itions when Warren G. Harding takes office and to go along in pleasant companionship with the Republican organization.
 The fact that Committeeman Mo- Bride has vigorously repudiated the charge of lack of harmony and the suggestion that he had some under standing with MT. Grigsby, the Dem- ocratic candidate, is hopeful sign. It indicates a get-together spirit among Alaskan Republicans which is certain to strengthen the party in the territory. In a public statement in Northern newspapers MT. Mcbride says:
 "I wish to state at this time that MT. Sutherland, the Republican nom- inee for delegate to congress, and myself are in accord and that perfect harmony prevails, and when Senator Harding takes office as president of the United States of America, March 4 next, no Democrat will be consult ed by me regarding the distribution of offices in Alaska.
 "In this attempt of MT Grigsby to create distrust and dissension in the Republican party, and to cast doubt on my loyalty to my party and my duty to support it's candidate, I must, earnestly appeal to all Republicans and other good citizens in Alaska to rally around MT. Sutherland and all other Republican candidates and give all of them such a large majority as will demonstrate the loyalty of the people of our territory to Harding,

 Elsewhere in the country there is no division in the Republican party, no antagonistic groups working at cross-purposes. Past differences have been forgotten, and this year the party will present united front to the opposition. It is encouraging to note that Republican leaders in Alaska are imbued with the same get-together spirit which prevails in the states, and that there will be no opposition to win."-Seattle Post Intelligencer.

DEMOCRATS ARE. OPPOSING #
THE PEACE RESOLUTION

Washington April 8.--Almost solid
democratic opposition has developed in
the house against the adoption of the
joint resolution to declare war with
Germany at an end. 1t will be con-
sidered next Thursday, two years and
two days since the declaration of war.
This opposition is bas!' chiefly on
the belief that the resolution Is uneon-
stitutional in that :. abrogrRtes tt e
authority of the president to Lero-
tiate peace with sovereign powers. AR
other objection raised by friends of
the administration is that the repul,li-
cans themselves are ,t satisfied that
congress has the authority to end war
and that the move is intended TO ON
barrass TIN. president and furnish pnl!t.
ical capital in the coming campaign.
In the opinion of democratic lead
ers there is no earnestness behind the
resolution. 1t was conceived, they say,
~as legislative vancouver to force the
president to act upon the peace treaty
itself, and also to show to the country
that o republican congress intended to
go as far as possible to effect peace,
even though the president would not
compromise and accept the reservations
to the peace treaty favored by ma
jority of the senate.

sion, and reports reaching the Office. of
the commission indicate that there will
be large attendance of commissioner
from the cotton states.
The commissioners, when they meet
IN Montgomery, will take up the matter
of recommending to the Interstate Com
merce Commission that the rate on lin
ters and rc-ginnings be lowered The
present rates on these commodities are
prohibitive, state members of the South
Carolina railroad commission. In many
cases the freight rate is more than what
the commodity will bring.
In addition to this question of lin
tcrs rates the commissioners of the cot
ton states will discuss the question OF
better protection for cotton in trans
portation, and also number of trans
portation problems, involving routing,
rates, and the like.
The South Carolina Railroad Com
mission recently sent out call for the
meeting of all cotton state commission
ers, TO be held with the cotton associa
tion in Montgomery. The commission
has received a. large number of replies.
indicating that many of the cotton
states will be represented by their rail

The questions of cotton transportation

campaign for governor. Saturday is
sued the following statement:
Our friends throughout Georgia

the polls opened at every precinct

provisions of the primary law under
which no provision was made for
the expense, and that another diff
Guilty would be to get the voters to
the polls on October s.
in each county began early the work
of the second campaign. with the re-
suit that there is more interest
the second primary than in the first.
as is evidenced by the fact that our
anal a ha5 been fhe ten rs times nS as
most of the counties our friends
have volunteered to help hold the
election, free Of charge, and we will
not have to pay the expense in many
counties, and only in those where
we could get little or no cooperation
from the chairmen and members of
local executive committees. We have
urged our friends in all the counties
to cooperate with the executive
committees and see to it that the
polls are opened in every militia
district in Georgia.
Hundreds of prominent Georgians
who supported Mr.. Walker and Mr.
Holder have pledged us their active
aid because they believe Senator
Hardwick is entitled to the nomina-

ceived at headquarters indicate that
Senator Hardwick's victory will be
