MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Oct, 26, (P)-Sir George Wilkins is sail ing South on the whaler Hektoria for his new conquest in the Polar regions headed for Deception Is- land where he will establish his base for exploration by air.
 While these plans are upper most in his mind he has under consideration the feasibility of future exploration in the region with a submarine.
 He believes trips under the ice fields would not necessarily be dangerous pointing out that during the war submarines ire quently navigated under ice in Scandinavian and Finnish wat CTS.
 SUCH UNDERSEA exploration could not be under taken for two years, he said, when he hoped the British government might come to his aid. He expects to return from the present eXpe- dition in March.

 A HATEFUL DOCUMENT

Having come in contact with the compelling Al personality of Otto F. Ohlson, new general manager of the Alaska Railroad, and seeing the results of his energetic methods after less than three months on the job, the Gateway is strongly inclined to the opinion that his forth coming report to the Secretary of the Interior will be a fateful document in it's bearing upon the future of Interior Alaska and the Alaska Railroad.
 These reflections are based upon the fond conviction that a great and significant change is about to dawn upon the cosmic consciousness of Alaska brought about by an awakening among Alaskans themselves as we'll as a new angle of thought directed our way by large mining and industrial interests of the States.
 In other words we believe that Alaska has reached and passed the nadir of lethargy dWindling population and lack of development and that now the Territory is on the upgrade striving for articulate expression in it's own affairs; equipped with more intelligent un- derstanding of potentialities; ready for sound CT cooperation with the capital that will come to reveal our riches. Likewise have we learned not to "snicker in our sleeve' at the goggle eyed tourist, as has been our superior habit, since now we know that a free and friendly welcome to the visitor is the best way of culti- vating future resident among us.
 We believe that Alaska is at the parting from the old ways to the new. It is time fraught with great, undreamed possibilities, a psychological period when forces may be set afoot to bring us to realization of the hope so long contained within our breasts-the building of great and enduring Empire of the North.
 Fortunate it is, indeed that we now have with us a man who has already sensed these very things and already stands committed to them. And still more fortunate is it that he is in position to swing more power for good than any other individual in the Territory.
 Therefore we opine that Nr. Ohlsons re port nn Alaska and the Alaska Railroad may prove an epochal document in his expression of the ends to be attained and the means of at taining them. As strictly a man of action we do not look for any long-winded rhetorical effort but rather vigorous statement of the require ments of his road to get the best results for the Territory.
 We know that he has the good wishes and moral support of all those with whom he has come in personal contact and it is with such thoughts in mind that Seward wishes him God speed and extends the earnest admonition to hurry back"

KOHLER WINS FIGHT
IN BALLOT CASE
Court Denies Mandamus
Against Wisconsin Nomi-
nee for Governor.
~ the Associated Press.

nv the ASSOCIATED Press
MADISON. Wis, october a.-Walter
j. Kohler will not be compelled to fight
for his Republican nomination for gov
ernor before the state Supreme Court.
That tribunal today denied the plea
of Fred M. Wylie for an alternative
writ of mandamus calling on Theodore
Dammann, secretary of state, and Mr..
Kohler to show cause why the latter's
name should not be removed from the
ballot. or to remove the name without
argument.
The court held that the secretary of
state, Theodore Dammann, had per-
formed a legal and purely ministerial
function in certifying the name of Wal
ter j. Kohler to the county clerks for
them to place it on the November
ballot
The courts decision said that it was
not the executive intent to charge the
secretary of state with power and duty
to investigate the correctness of ex-
pense accounts filed by the candidates.
and only certify the nominations in ac-
cord with his findings In the matter.
IF the candidate is guilty of vio-
lating any OF the provisions of the cor
rUpt practices act" the decision said,
the statutes provide ample relief for the
public. and the candidate may be
brought to answer "at the proper time
and in the proper course"
Wylie in his complaint alleged 10
violations of the corrupt practices act
by Kohler in the filing of his expense
statements with the secretary of state.
