At Present There is Not Sufficient In

| Do the patrons Of the Jefferson
school want a kindergarten to be es

This is question which the board
of education would like to have an
swered by the people of that district
and superintendent Aldrich is asking
that the people let him know def
| nitely within the next five days.
Interest expressed at the present
time is not sufficient to warrant the
board Of education establishing q
kindergarten, the superintendent said
today. Early in the summer he asked
the people OF the Jefferson district
to express themselves on the subject,
but to date he has heard nothing that
would indicate that the people want
kindergarten there.
If the patrons really want such an
institution, they are asked to let Mr..
Aldrich hear from them within the
next five days. If there is not suffi-
cient interest expressed by Septem
Der l, then the matter will not be
taken up further by the board. II
the people of the district really want
the kindergarten, the board wants to
know it, and can take the steps nee.
essary to establish such thing.
The superintendent can be reached
at the new board offices in the Elks
building, Sixth and Blondeau streets.
or by telephone. The number is II.

 Warming Up

The political pot is boiling on the B. c. side of the line, an election having been called for Dec. 1. Three candidates who call Stewart their home have entered the race, O. B. Bush with the present Liberal gov ernment behind him, W. c. Ross as standard bearer for the Conserva- tives and Pat Daly on an Indepen- dent Labor ticket. It is probable that convention will be held at AnyoK, and as that camp has a much larger numbeV of voters than Stewart, candidates from there may be selected. IT. any event Pat Daly will make the race.
 Politics in Canada presents a con- undrum to residents of the States until they get onto the ropes, there being no regular time for elections, but the party in power going to the people" whenever they think they have an extra good chance ot being returned. In the legislature if a bill introduced by the govern. ment is defeated, the government ceases to exist and an election must be held.

Republican
 Landslide

One of the most sweeping victor ies in the history of the Republican party was recorded tor Senator Warren G. Harding for president Rad for a Republican congress.
 Unofficial returns presage one of the largest electoral college majori- ties since 1888 with the exception of the vote of 435 for President Wilson in 1912. Twelve Republi- can victories have been extended to governors and state lesislatures and other state officers. - The Republican congressional majority has been strongly increas- ed in both houses.
 The first trial of women suffrage contributed largely to Republican success. The count of votes was delayed in many states owing to the millions of women's ballots which swelled the popular vote be- yond ali records.
 Norman R. Walker, Democrat, was given the largest vote ever polled for any candidate in Ketchi- kan, receiving 686 votes for repre- sentative. However, he was snow- ed under by the landslide which elected every Republican dandidate in Alaska.

A.Hall, Hank Huckes Norman Mcleod, Billy Orr, Scotty Patterson, Frank Reichenbach, Jack Sutherland and Noel and Charlie Tsavessy.
