THIRD PARTY TICKET CREATES NEWCLOUD
 POLITICAL HORIZON
LAFOLLETTE'S ANNOUNCEMENT NOT SURPRISE-RADICAL
 PROGRAM DEMANDED

WASHINGTON, D. C., April g. Senator LaFollette's determination to head the third party ticket if the re- publican national convention nominat- es President Coolidge on a conserva- tive program, will effect the entire course of the campaign.
 The senator's announcement is not unexpected. The demand that the party platform shall not be corserva- tive will not be satisfied, because Mir. Lafollette's idea of conservation differs materially from that of his fellow re. publicans. Indeed, nothing short of radical program will appease the La Toilette group who ars planning to Qae the platform controversy merely as an excuse to wage their campaign, not on personalities, but on the dignified basis of issues and principles. The immediate effect of course, of the entrance of Senator LaFollette in- to the campaign will be to change the strategy of the two old line parties. The politicians have thought it all out and it looks as if the republican argu- ment will be this:

PREMIER LOSES SUIT FOR
 ORE LOSS DAMAGES

Following a five day trial in Van couver, the suit of the Premier Gold Mining Company against the Coast wise Steamship and Barge Co. Ltd, for damages in the sum of ST, 7,600 for loss of barge load of ore last year, was dismissed according to Vancouver papers of recent date. In his decis- ion the court held that the testimony failed to sustain the mining company's contention that the barge used in the transportation of the ore from the Stewart Dock to Annyox was not in q seaworthy condition. The decision in effect attributed the loss of the barge to perils of the sea and exoner- ates the towing concern from respon- sibility therefor.

NEVADA PAPER PAYS TRIBUTE TO JUDGE c0PPERNOLL ALASKA LAWYER, CANDIDATE FOR OFFICE GETS WARM
 PRAISE FROM HOME
 TOWN PAPER

The Reese River Reville, published at Austin, Lander County, Nevada, where Judge William Coppernoll, Sew ard lawyer, and candidate for the Re- publican nomination for Attorney Gen eral practiced law for eight years pays a high tribute to the ability and char acter of the former Nevadan. The leading article in a recent issue of the Reville says:
 "The many friends of Wm. Copper noll in Lander County, State of Neva- da, will be pleased to learn that he will be candidate for the nom.nation of Attorney General of Alaska at the Pri- mary election to be held in April, 1924. Residing in Austin from 1904 till 1912, Wm. Coppernoll (Old Cop) practiced law and was one of the ablest attQr- neys in Nevada. He represented Land CT County in the Assembly legislature in 1910 and was considered one of the leaders of that body. He introduced a bill for the reduction of passenger rates from four to three cents a mile on all transcontinental lines dring bus mess in Nevada, a bill increasing the saloon license from $25 year to $25O to $500 year according to population also a bill making it a misdemeanor for firm or corporation to hire men to work unless there was money in the treasury necessary to make payment of the wage.
 "Coppernoll was most popular cit izen of Nevada, having host of friends throughout the state. He was ever the friend of common people as was demonstrated by the number of cases he conducted for people of limit ed means, and without compensation therefor. When he departed for AL aska in 1912, the State of Nevada and Lander County lost a splendid citizen. The Reville wishes to say that during all the years Coppernoll practiced law in Nevada, his record was clean, and he was ever-forward in working for the best interests of his community.
