FIGHT FOR PRESIDENCY
NOW ON IN EARNEST
CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT
BEGIN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN.
BATTLE IN WEST.

With the national political campaign
on, leaders of all three parties-repub
lican, democratic and the party head
ed by Senator LaFollette, of Wiscon-
sin-agree that the real battle-ground
is in the wheat belt OF the west.
1t is the west that will determine
who is to be president of the United
States, they declare Just now the
west, with the exception of a few
states, is in the doubtful column.
Candidates Begin Active Work.
John w. Davis, democratic candi-
date for president, has already begun
his stump speaking tour.
Senator LaFollette has already made
a speech which was broadcast by ra-
dio throughout certain sections of the
country. His running mate, Senator
Burton K. Wheeler, is expected to do
most OF the active campaigning.
President Coolidge is becoming
more actively engaged in tho campaign,
though Gen. Charles G. Dawes, can
didate for vice president on the repub-
lican ticket, will bear the brunt of the
work as to speech-making
Political leaders of all three parties
are up in the air about Iowa, where
the crops have been somewhat Of a
failure, and considerable discomfort is
manifest. The situation is described as
a "hoss race" with Coolidge, Davis
and LaFollette running neck and
neck" at the present time
Missouri just now is either for Da-
Wis or Coolidge, with the odds in ia
vor OF Davis, it is agreed. Kansas,
with a bumper crop, is for Coolidge
so far, but in Nebraska the fight is a
free for-all. LaFolette is conceded to
be strong.
Farther West.
North and South Dakota and Min
nesota are doubtful with Coolidge
and LaFollette dividing their strength
about equally, it is conceded. In the
states farther west the democrats have
the edge it is reported, though Sena-
tor Borah is expected to hold Idaho
for Coolidge Wyoming is given out
right to the democrats, but, it is point
ed out that predictions relative to all
states are as yet a bit premature.
Public ownership of water power is
big issue in California, and LaFol-
lette stands for public ownership.
That gives him strength, but the fact
that Hiram Johnson's leaders have
come out for Coolidge is favoring the
republicans.

Presidency.

OF state interest attention next will
turn to Legislative politics. Now that
the state primary results are known
two legislative organization races will
be pitched wide open. Capt. Howard
Ennis, candidate for president OF the
senate, will drive through his cam
paign as early as possible. In that,
though, there will probably be little
intensity because of the practical GER
tainty on Mr. Ennis part that he will
have no opposition.
Speaker w c. Neil, who will offer
for third term in that office, and
Representative J. Herman Miner, OF

by either until after the 10th. That
date has passed. and both are expected
to go into the work heavily.

The election of Editor Charles

The election of Editor Charles Wilcox,, Democrat, of Valdez, is one of the modern miracles and may be likened to the parable of the loaves and fishes. MT. Wilcox is one news paper man who has been rewarded by the confidence of the people, His platform is simple, being the ex- pression that he believed in lowering taxes and repeating many of the present laws instead of making new ones. To the Fourth Estate the cleo tion of MT. Wilcox is very acceptable and especially so on account of his great ability.-Seward Gateway.
 (Mr. Wilcox will have a chance to vote for the repeal of many laws and so we hope the Seward Gateway has made correct estimate of the new legislator).

FAMOUS SPEECHES

"I am Republican. 1 want you citizens in Ketchikan to vote the Democratic ticket. 1 am going to vote that ticket from top to bot tom."-J. R. Hickman.
 The following quotation is taken from the Sitka speech of H. l.. Faulkner, well-known Republican and former Republican Marshal of this Division:
 "I want you citizens of Sitka to vote the Democratic ticket. I am a Republican, but it is necessary to support the Democratic ticket"
 R. E. Robertson, Republican can didate for district judge in 1921, and candidate for delegate to the Ma tional Republican Convention at Cleveland which convention nomnnat- ed MT. Coolidge, was the manager of the Democratic campaign com mittee in Southeastern Alaska in the recent elections. From his of- flee was sent all the official litera- ture, sample ballots and other lit erature which sought to defeat the regular Republican nominees.
 The Democratic organ, the Juneau Empire, reminded the Republicans of Alaska that it was no sin this year for a Republican to vote the Democratic ticket, and the contest between the Progressives and the stand-pat Republicans which was de- cided in the April primaries, was not binding in any respect.
 Governor Scott c. Bone came down here not long ago and told a prom- inent citizen as follows "This year we will have to support the Demo- cratic ticket in Alaska"
 If there is one good thing that the contest recently closed has done, it is this: Democrats who have been masquerading as Republicans are at last forced to show their true colors. In this group you will find leading the bunch J. R. Heckman, H. M. Stackpole, Jack Davies, M. J. Bug ge, Dean Cannon, Arthur Shoup and many others.

Gllgsby, former Delegate to Con- gress. About four months ago he brought to this Territory a brand new wife. In their desire to win Lawyer Grigsby forgot all about his former decisions while Attorney Gen. eral in this Territory, in which he held that citizens must be residents in Alaska for at least one year, and resident in the Precinct for ole month, before he or she may vote. In the case of Mrs. Grigsby, Lawyer Grigsby amended the law to suit her needs, and she voted undoubtedly the straight Democratic ticket.
 Up in Juneau E. A. Rasmussen, President of the Bank of Alaska, and a resident of the Skagway Pre- cinct, stepped off the steamer and walked up to Precinct Number One and attempted to vote. He was challenged He then asked for the cath, and read the same over care fully; crossed out the words "reS:- dent of the Precinct for one month"; and wrote thereon the words Gre siding in Division for one mont.2.' He signed and amended challenga oath, and the judges, all strong Dem ocratic sympathizers, permittde him to vote. We cannot say how ne voted, but cite his act as sample of the laWlessness of which the eda- cated judges of Precinct Number One, commonly known as the "slk stocking Precinct of Juneau" ra,. their election.
 On the same day Harry Gartley. President of the Wilson & Sylvesc. CT Mill Company of Wrangell, step- ped off the boat and walked up tc tEe silk stocking precinct of Juneau. and likewise amended the challenoe oath, which is printed exactly as setforth by Congress, and he pro- ceeded to vote. The judges of the silk stocking Precinct, who were SUD- porting the Democratic candidates on a platform demanding law and order, intelligence tests and other so-called reforms, permitted the said Harry Gartley to vote, for they well knew that Gartley was voting the straight Democratic ticket.
 That great and patriotic citizen and lawyer H. L. Faulkner, who is constantly demanding that our bal lot be indeed purified, was again out of the city on election day. It IS very singular fact that this former United States Marshal, who was born in Canada and took out his first naturalization papers in Ketchikan but who never took out

 breakfast and walk out to the Per servance Mine just outside the city limits. He does just enough so that the Democratic organ of Juneau can say the next day HI. l.. Faulkner had to go out of Town on business." And thus this Canadian citizen who never finished his naturalization in the United States, must needs go to the Perseverance Mine or to Skag way or Haines or this time to Chi cagoff. Some day he will seek to vote in Juneau where he lives, and he will either be challenged or pro- per complaint will be made to the Grand Jury, and this patriotic citi- zen will be compelled to show by what right he exercises the rights of an American Citizen.
 J. R. Heckman has been over to the Indian Precinct of Kasaan twice trying to find if any irregularities lad been committed on election day, and likewise he sent Harvey N. CIOCkpOlc dIlu IAIlS us NCAc1lL1C CO the Indian Precincts of Hydaburg and KlaWack on the same errand, but all regret to report that none of the Republican managers of those towns had voted any Filipinos or citizens of British Columbia.

MYERS CHUCK

This is a little fishing village about forty miles North of Ketchi- kan. The result of the last election in this town is significant, for this reason: No Indians live there, but the town is inhabited by white trollers and seiners entirely, and yet their vote was so over-wheim- ingly one-sided that any impartial reader must admit that these men voted as they did because they Wee fishermen, and being fishermen they voted for the side which promised the greatest protection to their in- terests. Sutherland 22, Boyle ]; for Senator Hunt 15, Walker 4; for Representative the Republican can didates Grant, Paul, Ferguson and Hern got 19, 19, 15 and 15 votes re- spectively, while the leading Demo crat got only three votes.
 The explanation of what is known as mass-voting is that the Natives of Alaska being fishermen are voc- ing as such.
