EARLY MARGIN Is STILL HELD
 BY DEMOCRATS
Walker, Zeigler and Shat tuck Seem Elected-An-
 derson s Margin Small

With approximately 750 votes unreported in the First Division from Tuesdays election, the elee- ton of Allen Shattuck and A. II. Zeigler, Democrats, and Grover C. Vim and P c. Mccormack. Re- publicans, was assured, and N. R. Walker, Democrat, has apparently defeated Charles Benjamin. Re publican, for the Senate berth.
 Twenty-nine precincts have been heard from which gave Waike4 q lead of 340 over Benjamin. Zeig- Ter is leading W. L. Paul by 714I votes, and Shattuck leading the same candidate by GIG votes. Nals Anderson is ahead of Mccormack for fourth place on the reported vote. His lead, however, is taal small to withstand the major,s.- which the Wrangell man will re . ceive in the remaining 20 pre- cincts to be heard from.
 In 1926. the Independent ticke received in the missing precineis a total of 206 votes to 431 for their opposition. If the same vote and ratio was maintained in ne election last Tuesday, Walker would win by narrow margin of 15 votes. On the same basis, Zeigler will win over Paul by 3Ss votes and Shattuck by 291 votes. McCormack's slender margin of 2S votes over Mccormack would be wiped out and the latter win by 300 votes
 Gaffney Lead Small
 In the Second Division, the race for Senator for the long term IS so close it will probably take the official count to determine whetn- CT Tom Gaffney or Richard \. Sundquist is the winner. Anly Nylen, c. J. Woofter and Haley are running neck and neck for tue last two places on the House ticket Alfred Lomen and Henry Burgh are apparently sure of elsc- tion.
 Fourth Division Results
 ll the Fourth Division where only a few small outlying and re- mote precincts have not reported. the results show a wide split of vote. A Democrat, Luther C. Hess is probably elected as Sena. tor, one Democrat, Joe Mcdonald, Ester one Republican, Dick Roth enberg, and two Independents, Dan Callaghan and R. E. Sheldon seem assured of election.
 Callaghan had 593 votes, being 35 ahead of Harry Donnelly, Re- publican, and 47 ahead of Walter Fisher, Independent, who was member of the Fourth delegation in 1927.
 II. II. Ross, twice chairman of the House Ways and Means Com mittee, and veteran of the local Legislature, and Fred B. Johnson. twice a member of the Legislature. seem to have been showed under. The former is 1S3 and the latter l22 votes behind Callaghan.
 Diamond Wins Senatorship
 Former Senator A. J. Dimond. has apparently defeated Gus Bor gen, his Republican opponent, in the Third Division for Senator. On the reported vote he had a lead of 33l votes which was regarded as a safe margin. It was believed that later returns would increase rather than cut it down.
 J. II. Murray. dean of Alaska legislators in point of service. is high man in the House contest. His election and that of Frank Foster, Cordova, and F. R. Tar water Anchorage, is seemingly certain. McCutcheon, Democrat Is leading Mccain, Republican, for fourth place by S7 votes. A

WI. SWANTON IN
CITIZENS RACE

Each day the fight for the presi-
dency of the Federation of Citizens
Association becomes more bitter and
apparently more hopeless. Another
prominent figure entered the po-
litical ring yesterday, when w. l..
Swanton was announced as candi
date for the presidency. Elections
will be held in November to find
a successor for James G. Yaden.
When Mr.. Yaden first announced
his retirement, it was believed that
there would be little doubt but
what Dr. George c. Havenner would
be elected to succeed him. Recent
developments and DIR. Havennf RS

opposition to William Nick. Clayton.
as well as his position in the
efficiency bureau of the Govern

Stengle, former member of Con-
gress. Both DR.. Havenner and
Stengle were ardent supporters OF
the Yaden regime.
The entry of Swanton into the
race met with much favor in GER

SUIT ANSWERED
BY HOSPITAL

The use of Stanton Park Hospi-
tai as a temporary home for de-
linquent children is no more q
violation of the coming regulations
than it's use as a hospital, asserts
Joseph d. Rogers. president Of the
hospital, answering the Injunction
suit of Mrs. Mary v. Lipscomb in
Equity Court.
Mrs. Lipscomb brought her ac-
ton some time ago. basing it on
much the same grounds as those
embraced in that of William K.
WimsaIr. who seeks to restrain the
use Of the apartment house at 908
B st. s. w. as House Of Deten-
ton.
On September z last, the District
government, co-defendants with the
Stanton Park Hospital management,
answered Mrs. Lipscomb's suit, and
in addition to the separate defense
already recited, Rogers adopted the
answer of tn district officials as
his own Attorny Thomas NJ.

Lester D. Hend derson, Territorial Commissioner of Education, visited Solomon last Wednesday for the purpose of investigating that com munitys school needs. He reported that there are fifteen children of school age residing there at the present time but that in view of the fact that the majority of the child Ten are natives it would not be pos sible under existing laws, to estab- fish a Territorial school district. Mir. Henderson stated that he will take the matter up with the Bureau of Education officials and attempt to interest them in opening school at the earliest possible date.
 He stated further, that at any time the community can qualify for a Territorial school his department stands ready to provide the neces- sary funds for it's maintenance.

JACK DOWD AND WIFE
 HAVE RETURNED TO NOME

Jack Dowd. widely known cleo trician, and Mrs. Dowd, were re- turning passengers on the NJ. S. Donaldson. MT. Dowd went out on the Victoria to rejoin Mrs. Dowd. who went Outside last Fall.
 Mrs. Dowd accompanied her hus- band back home. being glad to be back in good old Nome. which. she says. looks better to her than any place in Alaska.
 The Dowds left Seattle August II on the s. s. Aleut.an for Seward. Thence, over the Government Rail- road to Fairbanks.
 At Anchorage they stopped over for four days where they met Dr. Swartz and R. H. Merrill. Merrill, they say, can walk around with a cane now, but he is far from being well man and it will be some time before he recovers from the effect of his trying experience of the Point Barrow trip last spring.
 At Fairbanks the Dowds spent five days where they renewed ac- quaintances with many old-time Nome friends and had a joy ride with Pilot Bonnet in his cabin plane
 Fairbanks. they say, is reyelling in the prosperity afforded by the big dredging company's expendi- ture of millions of dollars.
 The trip from Nenana down the river was most enjoyable. The de luxe service of the Donaldson. which brought them from St. Mich ael completed a most enjoyable trip.
 Mir Dowd will be back at his old post with the Telephone Com pany and he and Mrs. Dowd are busy shaking hands with old pals.
