CITY COUNCIL
 ASKS SALASKAN
 FOR GOVERNOR

Citizens of Cordova yesterday got unanimously behind their fellow toWnsman, George c. Hazelet, in his candidacy for the goVernorship of Alaska, the city council, commercial club and Republican club, passing their action on recent press dispatches in- dicating the fight has narrowed to a choice between Hazelet and an out slider, each sending wires to Washing ton urging the appointment of the Cordova man.
 The Republican club wired Dele gate Dan Sutherland requesting his support for Hazelet in preference to an outside candidate.
 The chamber of commerce again protested to President Harding against the appointment of an out Sider, and a wire was sent to Suth- erland asking his support to prevent the appointment of any but bona tide Alaskan. The commercial club '~"SN oOhS LlCood5S6 LO tue VdTlOuS commercial bodies in the territory requesting similar action by them.
 The city council met at f D. m. and passed the following resolution, which was sent to President Hard ng:
 "At a meeting of the Cordova com. mon council held April 29, the fol. lowing resolution was adopted:
 Be it resolved, that the common council of the town of Cordova re- Spectfully but vigorously protest against the appointment as governor of Alaska. anyone not a bona fide resident of the territory and who has not been such a resident for at least five years last past and the common council vigorously protests against the appointment of Colonel Perkins on the ground that he is a nonresident and strongly indorses Geo. c. Hazelet for governor; and be it further
 Resolved that the ex-officio mayor and clerk sign this resolution and i'm. mediately transmit said resolution 10 President Harding by wire"
 The city council also wired every incorporated city in the territory the following message:
 The common council here has wired President Harding protesting against the appointment of non- resident for governor, or anyone who has not been bona fide resident of the territory for five years last past. in the interest of the territory we respectfully ask your council to i'm mediately send a similar protest to the president by wire"
 The people of Cordova are to be commended on their action in pro- testing vigorously against the ap- pointment of carpet-bagger for governor. What this territory most needs Is a chief executive who from & long residence and close associa- tfon with its people is familiar with the needs and wants of the territory. MT. Hazelet is eminently qualified in this as we'll as other respects to efficiently perform the duties of this high office.
 If the administration desires to ad- vance the welfare and prosperity of the territory it should promptly ap, prove Mir. Hazelet as governor. Should they appoint a carpet-bagger it is the consensus of opinion that the development of Alaska will be set back for a great many years.

WAR DEBT REFUNDING
BILL FACES HOT FIGHT
Leading Republican and Democratic
Senator'S in Movement Against
Penrose Measure.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The move
ment in the senate against the Pen
rose bill granting the secretary of the
treasury unrestricted authority to
liquidate the $4,000, 100000 allied war
debt gathered momentum.
While no attempt to call up the
measure is anticipated in the immedi-
ate future, its opponents are biding
their time, quietly mobilizing their
forces in preparation for the fight it
will precipitate.
Their preliminary activities and
their private survey of the situation,
it is said, have disclosed such wide
spread antagonism to the administra-
ton bill that they are predicting
sweeping revision before it is passed,
if not its utter defeat.
Leading the opposition on the Re-
publican side are Senator Johnson OF
California, Senator Borah of Idaho
and Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin.
On the Democratic side they have the
support of Senator Underhill of
Alabama, the minority floor leader;
Senator Reed of Missouri, Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts, Senator Nc
Kellar of Tennessee and Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina.
With these men forming the nucleus
of the insurgent movement, the out
look for the measure admittedly is
dark, even though the heavy regular
majority lines up solidly behind the
administration, as is expected.
The issue for which the opponents
will fight is that the secretary of the
treasury already has sufficient power
to refund the allied Indebtedness un-
der the Liberty loan acts which ar-
thorized the war loans.
They also will contend that to grant
the secretary exclusive authority &c
handle the debts at his discretion
would be too great a power to invest
in one government official, regardless
of his integrity or patriotism.

JAPAN is WATCHED BY
WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT
Root Takahira Agreement Is Thought
to Be Trump Card of
Tokyo Regime.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The Root
Takahira agreement is the trump card
which Japan plans to lead at the
forthcoming conference on limitation
of ornaments and Far Eastern affairs.
Careful study of the agreement ana
of Japan's reply to the conference in
vitatiOn has convinced high officials
here that Tokyo hopes by involving
the Root-Takahira pact, to forestall
any agreement by all the powers that
might tend to loosen her rapidly tight
ening grip on the entire Far East.
The Root-Takahira agreement,
which was signed November 30, 1908,
is officially titled IAN agreement eff
fected by the exchange of notes be-
tween the United States and Japan,
declaring their policy in the Far
East"
Japan's point of view, is contained In
the fifth paragraph, which states that
should any event occur threatening
the status quo as outlined, 1T remains
for the two governments to communi-.
cate with each other in order to ar
rive at an understanding as to what
measures they may consider it useful
to take"
Thus the significance of Japan's
carefully phrased note announcing her
willingness to participate in the con-
ference is revealed. In her reply
Japan said:
Introduction of problems such as
are of sole concern to certain particu-
lar powers, or such matters as may
be regarded accomplished facts should
be scrupluously avoided"
In other words, Japan maintains
that by virtue of the Root-Takahira
agreement the American-Japanese pol
icy in the Far East already is an &C.
complished fact, and that any depar-
lures from the specific matters treated
in that pact can be taken up only De-
tween the certain particular powers"
i'm this case the United States ana
Japn.
