Anchorage Business Man Not an Office Seeker and Ran Only After People Had
 Uurged Him

! Harry Mccain. an Anchorage farm : CT and former1 high school teacher, I is in Juneau in the interests of the campaign of Jack Chovin, who is q candidate for the Republican National Commltteemanship. Mr Mccain says Mr Chovin will get practically the unanimous support of the Republicans of the Cook Inlet country for Nation al Committeeman.
 People who have not been in Anchorage or elsewhere in the Cock Inlet country do not realize how few people there are in that section where he is known, who are for Her ron. and they win never realize it until the returns from the primary election are received from there, said MT. Mccain. "Nine tenths of the active Republicans of Anchorage and vicinity" continued Mir Mccain, are , members of the Anchorage Repub]i- 2 can Club which unanimously endorsed Mir Chovin at the largest meeting the club ever had. There were not over a dozen in the so-called Club which ie supporting Heron, and some Of them have left it.
 Not only are the laboripg people i of the Cook Inlet country soIidly lined up against Iiar:or, but he has no support among he business ! men.
 l 'The condition ar Anchorage is i I,a bot : as far as Anchorage repl'alous aY- ! tend. The people of Anchor ige and vicinity, irrespective of party or occu. patton believe it would be a Terri. torial disaster to elect MT Heron ! National Committeeman"
 MT. Mccain believes that Mir. Cho win will be elected National Com niteeman, though he admits J. c. ] Mcbride has strength in the Third Division. especially at, Cordova. He i.says MT. Heron has practically no support there at all
 l CLOWN NOT AN OFFICE SEEKER "Mr. Chovin is not an office seek l er," said MT. Mccain, "and the bus. ! mess men of Anchorage and others
  Ithere urged him for days before he consented to make the race. The people there, after Senator Heckman. whom the Anchorage Republicans had endorsed, withdrew, began to fear that Heron might be the only candi-. i date. and they felt that something lsmust be done to prevent his select ion as the representative of the Re- publican party in this Territory. It was to meet this peril that Mir. Cho- yin, business man of the city, a skilled mechanic and member of organized labor, consented to be- come candidate for office"
 Mccain has a farm within two miles of Anchorage on the Lake Spen- ard road where he has been making I home in the wilderness, teaching school each winter in the Anchorage High School until the present winter. He is young man of force, abality and fine address.
 Mccain will spend several days in Juneau and then visit other towns in the First Division. He will return to Juneau before the primaries.

Pete Chlberg Finds Running a Still Pays III in the End

When Pete Chilberg started out last evening presumably on his delivery" route, he may have had an idea that he would make it in quick time, but even he didn't imagine, just before he opened the door, how quick it would be. Pete's stock in trade consisted of two one-gal- lon glass containers of home distilled hootch. nestling com panionably side by side in gunny sack.
 With this on his shoulder. Pete opened the back door to his house on Gastineau Avenue, once famous as "Swede Hill" and now rapidly becoming known. to officers of the law as "Moonshine Mountain" and in- stead of stepping into the friendly dark, he was immed- lately embraced in the arms of the. law as represented in the persons of U. S Deputy Mar shals N. o. Hardy and w. R. Garster. Had Chilberg been in clined to make his exit from his house by the front door, the result would have been the same, since Deputy A. E. Lucy was at the moment preparing to enter by that route.
 After overcoming Pete's nat ural timidity, the officers invit- ed him to re-enter his dwelling and in his presence uncovered two and one-half gallons of the brew which the householder had cached. Prevailing odors in the house, together with mash bucket sand other evil dence, convinced Messrs. Hardy, Lucy and Garster that a still had recently occupied a promin- cnt place in the house but search failed to bring it to light thefe1n. After searching on the exterior of the building, Deputy Lucy discovered a copper still under a wrecked building near by and this with Pete and the "hootch" was taken to the Fed cral jail.
 Chilberg appeared before U. s. Commissioner Burton today and entered a plea of guilty to Q charge of manufacturing in- toXicating liquor in violation of the Alaska Dry Law and was sentenced to pay a fine of $500. The fine was paid this afternoon and the erring but repentant man released from custody. The evidence was destroyed.
