POLITICAL FIELD
 SHOWS ACTIVITY
 CONTESTS LOOM

Political activity Ill all the four
 Divisions in the Territory is increas- ing with regard to the primary cleo tions to be held on the last Tuesday in April
 The Juneau Empire has summar-
 ized the contests for Territorial of
 fices which, are as follows:
 Apparently the contests for offices
 and Divisional posts will center main ly in the Republican primary. It is not believed likely that George B. Grigsby and Judge James s. Truitt, endorsed by the Democrats for Dele gate and Attorney General, respect ively, will have any opposition in the primary.
 On the other hand there are already two aspirants in the field for those offices in the Republican ranks, the present delegate and Bartley Howard for Delegate and J. l.. Waller for At toreny General, opposing Rustgard
 A similar state of affairs is predict ed for party offices. In the Democrat ic ranks harmony apparently prevails over the selection of a National Com and delegates and alter mates to the National Convention. There will be considerable competition in the Republican primary for these positions in their party.
 A three-cornered fight is expected to develop over the Republican Nat ional Committeeman, Senator Frank A. Aldrich, c. W. Albrecht, and Cap tain Austin A. Lathrop. Albrecht is said to represent the present delegate faction.
 A fight has also developed for seats in the National Convention. There are four candidates in the field for the two delegateships; W. H. CasweIl, 1 James Wickersham, 'Dr. w. H. Chase, 1 and Gus Gelles. l.. K Pratt, of Fair banks, is expected to file.
 For legislative positions the Third Division leads in number of candi- l dates. Few contests are looked for in the Democratic primary for these of fees. The absence of contests among Democrats is largely accounted for by the fact that in each Division the par ty has held conventions and worked 1 out program for the party that has been generally approved by the rank and file of the party as we'll as it's leaders The Republicans failed to | hold any conventions.
 Tn the First Division the Demo orats will put A. H. Zeigler, Ketchi- kan lawyer, up for the Senate Among he possible candidates for the House | of Representative are N. R. Walker and w. L. Martin, both of Ketchikan, and Allen shattuck and ". B. Kirk, of Juneau
 Only partly complete ticket has been filed by the Republicans of the First Division.

LILA LATHAM becomes the bride of
HERBERT WARE, but the picture of an
old sweetheart, CAPTAIN JACK FAR
QUAHAR, turks in her mind. She con-
ides her plight to her friend, DOROTHY
GAME, an artist.
While in France during the war, Lila
had promised Jack that she would be-
come his bride when his regiment came
back from the front. Jack is reported
dead, and later his insurance is for
warded to Lila, who gives it to disabled
veterans.
Herbert learns of the gift, and Lila
says the money was her uncle'S and was
given in memory of his son. Several
other complications arise over the gift,
but Herbert's mind is put at rest.
Lila one day sees GILROY HOLMES,
a wartime buddy of Jack, and she faintS.
She learns that Jack Is not dead ana
is to return to New York that day.
She meets him, and he invites her to
luncheon. During the meal, Jack asks
Lila to marry him.
While he is explaining his miraculous
escape from death and the circum-
stances of his return, Lila is laying her
plans.
She doesn't dare tell him she's mar
ried, so she says she can't marry him
now, because, to save her father from
financial ruin, she has become engaged
to one of his business associates.
Various crises, after this, keep Lla's
nerves on edge, but she manages. to
keep Jack in ignorance of her marriage
and Herbert in ignorance of Jacks ex-
iStence.

Thayer won't give away his myth
cal showcase any more as his gift"
complex has been terminated by
the Provo police.
ThayerS method if livelihood, &C
cording to authorities, was to give
away" his showcase to dealers who
needed one. There was a string at
tached, however, whereby Thayer
came out with a profit.
Investigators declare that Thayer
would approach a merchant with
the offer of a showcase-he always
had so many many he couldn't use
them all-and offer it gratis if the
merchant would pay freight charges
from a nearby city.
Often the merchant was so i'm
pressed with the deal that he gave
Thayer the money to pay the freight
charges. Then Thayer would leave
town hastily.
