was furnished by the management.

time.
Next Tuesday the boys will hold a
hare and hound race. Half of them
will go ahead, leaving marks for the
other half to trail them by. This will
be very exciting and instructive to
the lads, and they will all have fun
whichever way the game turns out.

COllegians Created
Fine Impression at
BOWdOin Frat Dance

Lee Warren and his collegian or
chestra returned early this morning
from Brunswick. where they played
for Bowdoin College fraternity func-
ton until 3 A. NJ.
The orchestra received splendid
ovation, its music being genuinely APP
preciated by the Bowdoin students.
This was held to be quite an honor for
the reason that Bowdoin has rarely
engaged orchestras this side of Bos-
ton to furnish music for their formal
affairs. and the local boys found them
selves playing in an atmosphere that
had been graced by such musical talent
as Doc Eisenberg's Sinfonians, Morey
Pearl and other famous Boston bands.
There were IL parties at the various
Bowdoin fraternity houses last night
and the dancers drifted from one house
to another. Warren's collegians had
the distinction of being the only CEN
trail Maine orchestra TO play at Bow
dom, having been engaged soon after
the Colby Bowdoin game. at which
time the downriver students heard the
boys play at a holiday dance at the
Armory. where they have been a big
drawing card this season, breaking ali
previous attendance records.

THE PRIMARY LAW 4
 BIG ISSUE
By Will A. Steel

from the Big Interests that the present Primary Laws of Alaska must be repealed. If that could be accomplished then the old proxy convention system would again be in vogue. And while they cannot now re- gulate the election of members of the Legislature the Big In terests, thru their attorneys and newspapers, feel certain that they. could control both the Republican and Democratic Committeeman, Attorney Gen. eral and possibly Delegate to Congress.
 Jones says that the real big fight at the November election will be to elect members of the Legislature, both Senate and House, who can be controlled. It was intended to keep their purpose quiet, but Stroller White gave the plot away re- gently, when, in his Weakly he stated:
 "If Alaska succeeds in elect ing a representative Legislature this fall, the primary to be held next Tuesday will be The Last, as the law providing for such .tfavesties WILL BE RE- PEALED."
 In the First division it is stated that all the Republican nomiees for the Legislature will emphatically declare for even a stronger Primary Law, and will make that one of their big issues. They want the PEOPLE, and not a few self selected BOSSES to run the Territory. They endorse the recent words of w. s. U'Ren, father of the direct primary law in Oregon, who says:
 "ShaH Oregon retain the direct primary under which the people themselves direct and control their government, or shall 1t once more surrender to the machine, the boss and the dictator?
 Substitute the word "Alaska" for Oregon" and you have the plain issue before you. Do the voters here want to go back to the old and vicious system when proxies were forged and few men with cor
