THE HARDING DENOMINATION

While amusing 10 the country.
President Hardng's difficulties
in launching his campaign 20
capture the Republican nomina-
ton next year must be disheart-
ening 10 him.
Some months ago the White
House permitted il to be
known" that Mr.. Harding would
not be averse to running once
more. A few lame ducks" who
had not yet been given berths
applauded vigorously. Next
Senator Watson announced def
nitely" that the President would
be a candidate for the nominal
ton. This created even less in
terest than the White House an
nouncement. Now. as a grand
finale. apparently, Attorney-Gen-
eral Daugherty Announces from
Florida, where the President and
a few members OF his official
family are mentioning, that Mr..
Harding surely will run again.
The President will run son the
record" of his administration, Mr..
Daugherty adds.
1t is of course almost fore
gone conclusion that the Presi-
dent will be able to secure the
nomination if he desires it, and
Since he has made no denial of
the Daugherty pronouncement it
is naturally assumed that his
hat now is in the ring" How
ever, despite the fact that it is
almost impossible to defeat a
president for denomination. if he
wants to force it thorugh. it must
be disconcerting to the Harding
boomers to observe the signs OF
obvious unrest in the Pennsyl
vania G. Q. p. ranks as outlined
in news dispatch from Wash
ington this morning. That Z
movement has been started by
influential Republicans in the
Keystone state to send unin-
structed delegations to the G.. O.
p. national convention is indeed
fraught with political signih-
canoe. For a movement of this
nature to emanate from such a
rock-ribbed Republican state as
Pennsylvania state that us
ually follows "in the groove
when Republican presidents seek
denomination = would seem to
show that the Harding boom is
not meeting with much enthusi-
asm in that time-honored G.. O.
j. stronghold.
Be that as it may. the Demo-
Gratis could wish for nothing
more than to have Mr.. Harding
run for reelection on the record
of his administration, and if Re-
publicans can see him as a can
didate, the Jeffersonian hosts
will be delighted TO.

CABLE INTERRUPTION NOT CAUSING ANY
 SERIOUS DELAY

The cable between Petersburg and Sit1A has been interrupted for the last week or ten days. While the To- cal cable office has on official advice whetherth cable ship Dellwood has left for England yet to transfer the new cable which is to be laid be- tween Sitka and Seattle the coming spring. 1t informs us 1t is question able whether she will be able to re- pair the interrupted cable before proceeding to London. so it is prob able the present interruption will be of longer duration than usually is the case.
 The delay on telegrams to the states, however, is only slight as the Naval stations at Juneau and Ketch- ikan as usual during an interruption to a Signal Corps cable. are handling thebusiness in a very efficient man. ner. considering the extremely heavy traffic from Ketchikan, Juneau, Petersburg and Wrangell which is added to their regular work.

RINK RENTED FOR A
 SCHOOL GYMNASIUM

A meeting of the Executive Board of the Pr. A., the Wrangell School Board, Mayor Grant and the teach CTS of athletics in the school was held Sunady afternoon at the Wran- gell hotel to discuss the advisability of renting the Rink for school gym for six months or the present basket ball season. The concensus of opinion was that 1t would be bet ter to obtain the exclusive use of the hall and sub-let 1t if the occasion de- manded than to rent 1t by the hour as in the past. The rent for the season will be shared equally by the PIT. A., the City and the school. The floor will be given thorough cleaning by the boys and a number of minor repairs will be made by the owner of the Rink, William Lewis. Arrangements will be made for the girls team as we'll as the boys teams to practice at the Rink in or der to get accustomed to a large floor.

Knocks Out Gettines in
 Second Round

The boxing match between Ralph Prescott of Wrangell and Joe Get tings of Ketchikan which took place in Wrangell last Saturday under the auspices of the America nLegion re- suited in Gettings being knocked out in the second round.
 Prescott had been in training for some time under the competent di- rection of w. R. Nevill. Local peo- pie who had seen Prescott in train ing knew that any one who entered the ring with him would find that he was far from being easy pickings By the end of the first round 1t was apparent that Gettings was out classed, and in the second round he was knocked out completely. Although Prescott is young and new in the boxing game. he has the science and endurance and is in the same class with Manila and Camp bell.
 The Ketchikan Elks who were pre- sent were greatly surprised to find that Wrangell had man like Pres colt, and expressed the wish that he could be seen in the ring at Ketchi- kan with either Manila or Campbell. The spectators were all satisfied with the exhibition although it would have been more interesting If it had lasted longer. The one thing that is more apparent now than ev- CT is that Prescott is going to be heard from in sporting circles. and at no distant date.
 The main bout was preceded by lpreliminaries between Harold Jones and James Gleason; Harold Hoff and Virgil Hulse; Joe Prescott and Stanford Hulse.

zsl-g II I-.-- ! -=-- .; '-.-.z-- Geo. GunderSon and
 Miss Cunningham
 Married Wednesday
Happy Couple Leave on the Alaska
 For Honeymoon Trip to States. Many Beautiful Presents

The marriage of Miss Coralie May Cunningham and MT. George Iver Gunderson was solemnized at the home of the brides parents, MT and Mrs. Samuel Cunningham, at two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon November IA.
 The beautiful wedding service of the Episcopal church was read by the Rev. H. P. Corser, rector of St. Philips church. The bride was given away by her father and was attend ed by her sister, Miss Wilhelmina Cunningham. The groom was attend ed by his brother, MT. Fred Gunder- son.
 The bride was radiant in a gown of white canton crepe beautifully fashioned and pearl trimmed. She wore necklace of pearls, the gift of MT. Fred Gunderson.
 The ceremony which was witness ed by the relatives of the families only was followed by reception that was largely attended through out the afternoon. The wedding cake was cut in the dining room which like the other rooms was profusely decorated with potted plants. Mrs. F. H. Gold presided at the punch bowl
 ! Wedding presents both useful and beautiful began pouring in early in the day from the many friends of the youthful couple. The most valuable gifts were a deed to the groom from his father to the west half of the large lot on the corner of McKinnon avenue and Second street and a check for $500 to the bride from her father
 The bride was born in Wrangell and has lived here all her life re- ceiving her education in the Wran- gell elementary and high schools. She comes of pioneer people, her mothers parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Lemieux being early settlers in Wrangell. Her father, who owns and conducts the Starland Theatre, came to the United States from Scot land arriving in Wrangell about twenty years ago.
 The groom is the elder son of Mir and Mrs. Ole Gunderson, formerly of South Bend, Washington, but for five years residents of Wrangell. He was student for three years in the Wrangell high school. He took an active interest in athletics and dur ing his Sophomore and Junior years was captain of the high school bas- ket ball team. Since leaving school he has been interested with his fath- CT and brother in fish traps from which he derives a substantial in- come.
 MT. and Mrs. Gunderson left on the Alaska this afternoon for a two months trip visiting points on the Pacific coast. Incidentally, this is Mrs. Gunderson's first trip out of Alaska. On their return they will build home on their newly acquir- ed property.

To Tell Story of His Escape

Wrangell will have one of the ad- ditional features of the program that only few of the towns have en- joyed. Captain Dancey has consented to tell the story of his escape from the Germans.

There will be community singing and a further opportunity to discuss world problems. Captain Dancey will divide the evening in two parts, first a talk on present day topics. follow ed by an open forum question period, and, then, the story of his escape.
 "I hope that the people will get behind the local Legion Post and make this program the success it should be-" Captain Dancy observed. ''The manager of the Starland The atre, Mir. Cunningham, has evidenced a splendid spirit in giving the boys a special concession for the presenta- tion of the picture, and, then dona- ting the use of his fine auditorium for the mass meeting. It is things like this that make possible the campaign through out the land"
