ANNOUNCEMENT
To the Voters of Alaska:

To the Voters of Alaska
 1 am a candidate on the Republi- can ticket for the nomination at At torney General of Alaska, at the coming April Primary Election. Your support of my candidacy will be duly appreciated, and I will be ever grateful therefor.
 stand for SQUARE DEAL for ALL; for the welfare of the Terri tory and it's people; for the upbuild- | ing of Alaska, Alaskan institutions, and industries; for the encourage ment of investment of capital to de- velop our manifold resources.
 I feel that my more than thirty six years experience in the practice of law amply qualities me to fulfill the duties of the office, should 1 be elected. 1 do not claim to be a super-man. I am just an ordinary human being, blest with God given intellect which has in the past al lowed me to be just to my fellow men. And, if elected to be Attorney General of Alaska, will not have to order a hat several sizes larger than the one now worn. I have always been one of the common people, and, the Lord aiding me, will continue to be one of them.
 The voters of the present day are readers and thinkers; they are abundantly qualified to ballot on all issues; they will vote as their judgment and conscience dictates, and not be misled by fallacious ar guments, propaganda, or political bunk.
 l have many warm friends throughout the Territory, and it is my desire to acquire new ones. l want to hold all my friends, and to extend to them the spirit of good fellowship. do not want to cater to them during an election campaign for the sole purpose of obtaining their suffrage, and after their bal lot is once deposited forget that they ever existed;-throw them into the discard. That is not my way of dealing.
 If I am nominated and elected, promise the masses an honest and faithful administration of the office. and will extend courteous treatment to both rich and poor. alike.
 Most Cordially, VIM. D. COPPERNOLL, Seward, Alaska

 He had never loved the girl an ignorant weed raised daughter of scraggly woodsman But he was in khaki; he was away; he might never come back; and she was the nearest one who showed him any interest when he was blue, strange, confused.
 But she took it seriously. We women almost always do.
 He came back the day after. His employer had put up the bail. And he confessed to me-yes, 1t was true. He had been foolish, 1t was in those days" he had long since forgotten the girl he loved me and only me, etc. He tried to take me in his arms. I ran

 You must do something. My life is gone-shot away. But his! You must get her-your other one-I mean your wife-to divorce you. That won't get you out of prison But 1t will give you chance to marry me-marry me honestly-Q laughed sar- donically; a convict marrying me honestly!)-so that your son will have a name-at least, as much of name as he can have with his father in penitentiary; it won't be much of a name, but he should have it-MUST have it!"

 But my bridges were burned now. took my hat closed my desk, and. without turning my head walked out of the office and life of MT. Hugh Dar ringten, who had offered me the world sans we'd ding ring.
 And So married Connie
 We were fairly happy. He was usually kind--or not uhkind, anyway. He kept his word about try ing in business and soon made very decent living for us nothing pretentious, but enough to 90 along on while did all the housework and kept within a poor mans expenses. Before year had passed baby came.
 Like every girl had feared and yet prayed for motherhood. It is divine thing-in songs! movies and the future
 One of the great anticlimaxes of my life was that though adored my little son, couldn't rise to that thrill of ecstasy had heard abont which comes with having one.
 However didn't let that embitter my life We went on in our own way, the conventional way com mon ta most of those in the same position there abouts often thought of MT. Darlington, but not with bitter regrets; only now and then, as washed babys didies or scrubbed floor or baked my face over the fire making lamb stew for my Connie did something like pang furtively sneak into my heart and faint echoes of the gilded words he had poured into my ears sounded-muffled and far far in the distant irrevocable past.
 But otherwise. existence ground along. was busy enough. had three meals, rainproof roof, a husband and a baby. The others around me hadn't any more-except babies.
 Then came that horrible day!
 We were at breakfast, when In walked two plain clothes men and arrested Connie. He seemed to expect them, and seemed to know what the charge would be. trembingly asked what he was ac- cused of--he had gotten up from the table to get his hat-and ono of the officers, not unkindly but rather sorry for me, said I'd better ask "that rnan."
 "That man." his head hanging. slipped his arms around me to kiss me. I sobbed my question:

 He found had a listening ear, and, as he was lonely and craved sympathy, he began to hang around me considerably. He never questioned me about the evenings couldn't give him (when was out with Mir Darrington) but seemed content j if let him share the time that didn't need for more attractive and more important pastimes.
 One night he blurted out that he loved me. It came as rather surprise, though was accustomed to men making advances of all sorts toward me, and I had gotten into the habit of expect ing something of this sort whenever a man de- voted more than passing glance or moment my way.
 He told me he had always cared for me; that he had held off from speaking for years because he had never had anything to offer He had less than now. but he felt that there must be other men after such a prize, and he had mustered up the courage to tell me that if I'd encourage him he'd make ,good-he'd buckle down and work no man had ever worked before to make himself some. thing something worthy of me.
 I didn't laugh at him. But in the back of my head ran moving pictures of MT. Darlington, the poised. self-possessed monarch of finance and SO ciety, the man at whose command hundreds of whippersnappers like Connie trembled and jumped. And here was this failure blabbing to me that he wenld be somebody-to me, whc at the crook of my finger could have the best of the body and soul of someone who WAS somebody's somebody that Connie could never dream of being if he moved mountains for me.

NEW YORK, May 7s-An active de mand in the cotton market early today appeared to be supplied on an advance to 2S57c for July, the price later break ing to 2S.11c under realizing or liQuida- tion. July closed at 2S13c, with the market finally steady, but 16 points higher to 12 points lower.
 The opening was firm at an advance of z to 19 points on relatively firm Liverpool cables. Buying on the strength abroad was stimulated by a bullish interpretation of the. weekly crop review of the weather bureau and the outlook for lower temperatures in the southwest. May sould up to 30. .25c and October to 24,72 during midday, making net advances of 22 to 46 points and recoyeries of 80 to 100 points from the low prices of Monday.

May advancved 40 points above the previous close during the morning and later eased off B points to 29.52c. July advanced 30 points and then declined 39 points to 27.63c. Octo- Der traded up 9 points and declined to 27.32c or 26 points down from the high. The close showed net gain for the day of points on May but net losses of 4 to 9 points on later months.
 At the start Liverpool cables were much better than due. The local market made poor response at the opening but firmed np when the weather map was posted showing rather liberal rains in the belt and indicat ations of colder wealth CT in the west. The advance gathered force when an official forecast predict ing frosts in Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle was issued.
 In the last part of the morning the market turned easier owing to the ab- sence of sustained support and because of profit taking by early buyers and in the late trading, selling become fair ly active and prices declined on some western belt and on adyices from south ern points reporting increased mill cur tailment.
