because of the ice-locked condition
of Port Clarence on which Teller is
located in northwest Alaska, it might
be weeks before the adventurers
could leave by boat,

Dental candidates.

At the present time, the win
ming candidate in a National De-
mocratic convention must secure
732 out Of 1908 Democratic dele
gates. Any combination of 297
votes may BATTLE the will OF the
majority of the delegates. At the
same time the two-thirds rule is
abrogated, so also ought the unit
rule be thrown into the scrap heap.
There are those who say such a
movement will favor either Smith
or McAdoo, and both will in all
Likelihood again be candidates be-
fore the next, national Democratic
convention. But regardless Of
which one Of these candidates his
change in rules may favor, there
is perhaps no Democrat who will
not agree on the broad and gen.
eral statement that both of the
rules are undemocratic, and OBJ
noxious to the Democratic party as
a whole. Therefore there can
scarcely be any argument for their
retention. And now it seems very
likely that there will be none.
The Gazette believes that the
time. is soon to come when the old
fashioned convention system will
be discarded, and that presiden-
tial candidates will be elected in
the primaries. The Gazette be-
lieves presidential candidates
should be so elected. But until
such time as the primary system
for electing them is unanimously

tion system will of necessity have

CLEANUP FIRE HAZARDS

Cleanup fire hazards if you want lower insurance

property in the city, with the hope of getting greater
reduction in insurance premiums than anticipated on IN

fire hazards Carelessness should be avoided, extra bad
hazards should be eliminated the public should that
all bad hazards cleaned up particularly hazards such
as bad wiring wood work close to stoves stove pipes
lamps, etc., it stated Friday night by Fire Chief
Bracey Curtis the chief also stating that rubbish and other
nfammabe material in yards Easements and on porches
should be done away with.
The three adjusters going over the town very
carefully and everyone interested in reduction OF fire in

and welcome their suggestions in improving general dam

Two-THIRDs RULE

Once again there is a definite
movement afeot to abolish the
two-thirds rule in elections by the
National Democratic convention.
AT the last session Of the conven-
ton in Madison Square Garden,
New York City, there was dead
lock that became more or less OF
nuisance. It is the purpose OF
those who are now pushing the
movement for the abolishment OF
the two-thirds rule to make such
a deadlock an impossibility in the
future. Norman E. Mack, nation
al committeeman from New York
is in favor Of doing away with
the rule. He is an AL Smith ad-
herent. Clyde Herring, national
Committeeman from Iowa wants to
abolish the rule. He is a McAdoo
follower. So it would seem that
both Of the contestants for the ma
tional Democratic nomination at
the last national convention are
in favor Of doing away with the
long-standing rule which has just
as long been opposed by many
members of the party. AS a mat
ter Of fact this rule is spite rule
and is not democratic. If it were
democratic it would provide that
a majority vote would nominate.
The rule was devised by Andrew
Jackson in 1882 to keep Calhoun
out Of the vice presidency. AS the
rule now stands, and as it has
long stood, it is merely the con-
trolling factor in a system of pro-
cedure that is altogether undemo-
cratic. Tt enables minority of
delegates to prevent the nomina-
tion of presidential and vice presi-

Enrique Suarez, about "a years

to his bed for one year as re-
suit of injuries sustained when a
car in which he and James Autrey,
21, crashed into q pole at Walnut
and Sonoita streets about 8 o'clock
Tuesday night.
Each Of the young men sus-
tanned a broken leg, and Suarez
was also badly injured about the
head.
The pair were travelling at
high rate of speed at the time OF
the accident. They had left
Plum and Sonoita streets with the
intention of. getting a good start
so they could climb a steep hill
leading up Sonoita to the corner
of Oak and Sonoita streets. AS
they neared Walnut street, Sua-
rez, who was driving, saw a car
approaching and in trying to
dodge it, jerked his car SO sud-
denly that it threw both the
young men against a pole. Just
prior to the accident they had sue
cessfully gone to the top Of the
