So close does the senate race seem to be that nobody with any reputation worth preserving is willing to make a forecast. The vacancies are so dis tributed as to make sure the Demo crats cannot lose single one of their members who are running for re-elec- tion. That doesn't happen often in any campaign and only happens now because of the Harding landslide of six years ago which swept the Dem ocrats out from the senate and from the debatable states in the North and confined them to the solid South"

Twenty-One Towns in Southeastern Alaska is Claimed by Independent Organization

JUNEAU, Nov. 1. (P-Conserva- tive estimates for the First division indicate Marquam will receive a 300 majority while his supporters claim it will reach at least TOO. Juneau and Ketchikan are conceded to him by the local Marquam organization which also claims he will carry the town by more than two to one and there is no money to be had here on that basis, but one wager was made at even money.
 It is reported Marquam will carry Juneau three to one for virtually every business man here is publicly supporting him and nearly all prop erty owners are pledged to vote for him. The division will cast between 5,2oO and $500 votes. The Indepen- dent voters league issued a statement this morning claiming Juneau, Ketchi- kan, Petersburg, Skagway, Haines, Sitka, Tenakee, Mendenhall, Thane, Hirst Cove, Gustavus, Salmon Creek, Funter, Baranof, Fanshaw, Shakan, Revilla, Charcoal Point and Wind ham are for Marquam with close votes at Douglas, Wrangell and Hyder and conceding all Indian precinct to Su- erland.
 Apparently the size of Marquam's majority depends on the success of his efforts to enforce the so called literacy test law of 1925 and unusual activity is noted at all Indian pre- cincts
 Reliable information received here is to the effect the Paul machine plans to vote at least 14OO tribesmen at Hoonah. The Indians were told if Marquam was elected Alaska would be turned over to Japan. Among the promises said to have been made to the Indians was that part of million dollar surplus in the Territorial trea- sury will be used to establish com munity canneries in Indian villages.
