aid writes timely article concerning the
Republicans no little bit. He says:
at is to be hoped that the Republicans of
Minnesota will not permit the enthusiasm of
state managers of presidential candidates to lead
them into evil ways in the pre-convention cam
paign. Let the state managers fight all they
want to, but let the rank and file of the party
keep free of squabbles and ready to serve their
party in harmony with its best interests rather
than in the interest of any candidate.
"Whe the voters naturally have prefer
ence as between the different candidates, the
fact remains that with the possible exception of
Senator Willis, of Ohio, all of the leading candi-
dates are worthy of whole-hearted support
men who would make splendid chief executives.
This being true, the Republicans of Minnesota
ought not permit any bitterness to enter the
pre-convention campaign.
'The two leading candidates today, insofar
as Minnesota is concerned, former Governor
Frank o. Lowden and Secretary of Commerce
Herbert Hoover The division to favorites is
between these two men. 1t is conceded that Mr..
Lowden has the lead in the majority of the rur-
al districts, and Mr.. Hoover in the three large
cities. If the division of delegates to Kansas
cause for complaint or bitterness. 1t is not
only proper that the majority in the various dis
tricts should rule but as between these two
men there can be no division to high princi-
Piles and worthiness, so that if either should be
nominated every Republican could give the win
ner cordial support.
"On the other hand, there is no assurance
today that either will be nominated, even
that anyone of the avowed candidates will land
dent Dawes, who is not now a candidate is as
likely to be nominated anyone yet named, for
it is known that he is the second choice of both
the Lowden men and the Hoover men. This pos
sibility offers additional reason why the Lowden
and the Hoover supporters in the state ought
not to get into bitter fight over their respec-
tive candidates. Much can transpire between
and the meeting of the national convention
next June.
Gas matter of fact, the only thing clear
in the situation as it exists today is that the
Minnesota delegation should go to Kansas City
unnstructed. 1t seems proper that the district
and state conventions should express prefer
ence as between the avowed candidates for the
guidance of the delegates, but no iron-clad in
structions that would render the delegation help
less to meet changing conditions should be CIV
This is particularly true because there ap-
pears to be movement foot among the SEN
atorial crowd in Washington to have as many
Midwest delegates as possible tied down by iron
clad instructions, so that if deadlock developes

Wolves Serious Menace
 Throughout Territory

R. K Stewart, chief predatory animal hunter for Alaska, arrived here Thursday evening and remained in Wrangell until Sunday visiting with local trappers and endeavoring to be of service to them. He will spend all of the fall and most of the winter in Southeastern Alaska. Dur ing the next few weeks he will con duct extensive experiments in the work in trying out various types Of traps and snares to determine what methods and materials are best suit ed to the needs of this particular re- zion. He will undertake to visit all the islands and all the towns in the Alexander archipelago, and visit all the trappers possible, giving dem onstration lectures.
 Mir. Stewart says that according to current reports wolves have been making heavy depredations among deer. While in Southeastern Alaska he will make a survey for the pur- pose of getting first hand informa- tion as to just what the situation is
 Mr. Stewart says he has received splendid cooperation from trappers and prospectors wherever he has been and has had the help of the AL aska Game Commission on numerous occasions, assistance which has ena- bled him to cover much more terri tory than would have been possible otherwise.
 It is apparent to MT. Stewart, as a result ct bis visits in various parts 1fi the territory, that Alaskans do not yet realize the gravity of the preda- tory animal situation, except possi. bly in those districts where fur has shown considerable decrease. Trap pers, even, are inclined to cling to their regular methods of trapping believing they can catch coyotes without resort to more cumbersome methods which have proven more ef- fectiYe MT. Stewart admits that it is possible to catch a coyote occa- sionally in a fox set, but points out that the situation cannot be met in that manner. It requires intensive campaigning with methods which have proven to be more effective than ordinary sets.
 Subject to the approval of the Bu- reau of the Budget the Biological Survey has included in it's budget for the next fiscal year an item ot $12,500 for a systematic campaign against predatory animals in Alas ka. With such an amount, and an- other appropriation from the terri tory, 1t will be possible to place siN
 aimed men in the territory, sta- tioned in the various districts under general supervisor. They would work among the trappers developing methods best adapted to the respect i've regions and demonstrating their effectiveness.
 It is pointed out by Alaskans ia miliar with the activities of the gov arnment in the states that the range states receive annually a very sub santial amount from the federal treasury, for carrying on the war
 against predatory animals, where the situation is not nearly so menac- ing as it is in Alaska and it is urged that efforts be made to assist the bi- ological survey in obtaining funds for work of this character in Alaska. Some of the western states have re- ceived as much as $40,000 in a sin gle year, 1t is stated and in view Of | that fact, the budget allotment of IS12.500 for the inauguration of an Alaskan campaign is regarded as a very modest request.

REPUBLICANS SWEEP
 THE MAINE ELECTION

PORTLAND, Maine-The Repub- licans of Maine swept the state in Mondays election with majorities which will approximate, if not eX- ceed, fifty thousand votes. The vote was one of the heaviest ever cast in Maine and the big Republican candi- dates majority was seen as a clear indication that Herbert Hoover, presidential candidate of G. o. P., stands high in the public's estima- ton.
 z At midnight, William Tudor Gard iner, Republican, had lead of more than three to one over Edward C.. Moran, Jr, his Democratic opponent in the race for governor. With 182 election precincts out of 6S3 report ed, the vote stood Gardiner s29, 455, Moran 6,826. Frederick Hale, Re- publican candidate for Senator, was Heading Herbert Holmes by approXi- .mately the same number of votes. The balloting stood for precincts, Hale 22,727, Holmes 6,512. With .295 precincts reported the candidates maintained the same relative posi- tions.
 The election from the viewpoint of national politics is a striking victory for the Republicans. Even the op- timist leaders did not expect to win by more than 36,0O0 votes. While Maine is a normal Republican state, the large majority is seen by the Re- publicans as approbation of their re- gime The Democrats, on the other hand, say they did not make the elec- tion a test of Governor Smith S strength.
