STATE G.. O. P. MIDDLE
REQUIRES A SOLOMON
There sthe kendrick Situation and Grundy
Fight Him, Baker and Crow for Him and
SprouI Is Indifferent
BY GEORGE NOX MCCAIN

IL has been a long time since condi-
tons affecting the Republican state
ticket have been so badly muddled as
they are at present
Ask any state leader about it and he
will pooh pooh the idea. But it is a
fact. They all know it and are anxious
to evsde the responsibility.
The woe Of it. to county leaders, is
that the primaries are so near at hand
with the situation so ticklish.
There are inquiries and kicks from
county leaders in every direction. lt
is impossible, they say. for them TO send
out slate on the state ticket.
That this may be thoroughly under
stood by the plain citizen who takes his
politics as he does medicine, ut semi
occasional intervals. it should be eex-
planned that the "slate" is the list
OF names of the fortunate state and
county candidates who have been Sc
lected by the party leaders to receive
the suarages of the proletariat. They
are usually passed out in printed
slip to voters.
So here we are. with the spring pri-
maries only short time off and yet,
in numerous counties. il is impossible
to fix up a slate according TO Hoyle.
SO far as the county tickets them
selves are concerned. with few eXcep-
tions the bosses-perhaps leaders would
he the polite word-have their slate
already arranged.
State Ticket Is the Puzzle
X 1t is the state ticket that puzzles
them; the uncertainty that surrounds
and prevents them from proceeding ac-
cording to ancient and approved sys-
tenn is aggravating and demoralizing.
The heads of the state ticket. mean
ing the candidates for state treasurer.
auditor general and for the Supreme
judgeship have been agreed upon.
But there are six candidates for the
four positions of congressman at large
and fifteen candidates for the twelve
honorary selections for delegates at =
large to the national Republican con :
vention.
State leaders have. thus far. failed to
agree on these places. They are at
skies and sevens on the matter. Some
names have TO be dropped. But which

PASSED FORTY L0NCH()URSIN
 SNOWY TOMB

Ever since Columbus sailed west to get east in 1492, Americas motto has been Sail on, and on!" Espe- cially when one is on an errand for Uncle Sam, he must deliver the goods, though the obstacles may seem in7 surmountable.
 Our fellow Cordovan, George Walk CT. got back home last Sunday from a nerve-racking trip into the inter- ior to take the census. After visit fsSg Kennecott, Chitina and by-stations, MT. Walker started out from Me- Carthy to the Nizina river, his final destination being the desolate and ice-bound Shushanna tor Chisana) country. With Joe Mcclellan and team of dogs, he boldly started across Rouen glacier, about thirty-five miles from Mccarthy A bitter wind con stantIy drove the snow into their faces.
 At three points on the glacier Mcs. Clellan had erected tents. After reaching the first, which was about sixteen miles from the foot of the glacier, the men found themselves unable to push onward on account of the storm, but three times they had to go back to the edge of the tim Der, twenty miles away, to get fire wood z%
 ginally leaving the tent and push ing onward about three miles when tkey were obliged to turn back, they soon found themselves lost in the fly ing snow which obliterated their trail. The stakes which had marked the government trail last year had not been reset "If the government had those stakes there" said Mr. Walker, it would have been impossible for us to get lost"
 With a snow-shoe and a frying pan they dug out in the snow hole big enough for both to get in the glacier. This they roofed over with snow shoes and canvas, but in spite of this precaution the hole kept filling up with drifting snow, and the mem were constantly besieged by desire to sleep. After passing forty hours in this snowy tomb, they scrambled out to find the storm over and bright5 sun shining. Possibly the fact thats it was St. Patrick's day had something to do with that
 The rest of their journey was ac- complished with comparative ease, Sut it took them fourteen days to get across the glacier.
 This is the same glacier on which Dan Campbell and his partner, Brown, were lost earlier in the year, probab.. ly because the trail was not marked. Their dogs desertd them, and the two, men were badly frozen before they could reach help. Brown, it will be remembered, was brought to the hos pital here for treatment -s
 On the way back over the glacier three men on their way to Mccarthy overlook Walker and Mcclellan, and the five spent two days and nights together in the first tent, then made the trip out to timber through twenty six inches of snow.
