LOTTERY

The legislators who framed the Alaska primary election law must have been at one time connected with the famous "Soapy" Smith gang The Louisiana lottery did not have thing on the Alaska election business Every one who takes a chance on being nomi- mated has to put up from $5 to $40 to get in the game. If he is nominated he takes another chance of being elected. If he is not nominated he not only loses his chance for election, but his money as well. If he is elected he doesn't get money back, but will have to work like the deuce to get enough money ahead to file for an- other nomination. The proposition is not sporting.
 Why not have regular lottery and let everyone who puts up some money take a chance at the pool and cut the cards to see who gets it? There would be some incentive to go in the race, as there would be at least a chance for the fellow who was not nominated.
 But att that, by the way the filings are coming in it is rather a good thing that cash deposit is required or there would be all candidates and no elec- tors at the elections. That cash de- posit has been quite a stumbling block in the path of some would-be law makers and office holders.
 Personally we can't see what any to run for office for and take a chance of losing it.-Douglas News.
