THE election campaign was the
longest and most intense cam
paign which the Party carried on
during the period since the last con-
vention. 1t is only natural, there
fore, that we find this reflected in
the shop papers. Our shop papers
took up the campaign very well and
we find sustained efforts to bring
the election campaign to the work
ers in the shop and to make the most
of the opportunity to propagate
Communism. At the same time we
find many weaknesses in carrying
out the line of the Party in election
wo-is.
Frequent Errors.
One of the commonest errors was
insufficiently emphasizing the plat
form and the demands, and stress
ing too much the candidates. An
other weakness was concentrating
only on the immediate demands and
ignoring our ultimate aims in the
class struggle-Headlight District

Lack of Supervision.
1t is quite possible that many of
these errors crept in because of the
lack of supervision on the part of
the district in getting out the papers.

Cotton opened steady at an advance of

GOV. SMITH OUT OF POLITICS.

Former Gov Alfred E. Smith has been chosen to be Chairman of the Board of the County Trust Company, with the power of President, to succeed James J. Riordan, who committed suicide Novem- Der g. due to temporary insanity brought about, it is believed, from worries in connection with the collapse of the stock market Gov Smith has been member of the Board of Directors of the County Trust Company since he retired from the Governorship year ago. He of the closest friends of the deceased head of the bank, which has had phenomenal growth since its establishment.
 Investigations conducted by the State Banking Board and several firms of certified public account ants which took place immediately after the death of President Riordan disclosed that the bank was in an exceptionally sound condition, and had been canservatively and honestly managed, So good was the showing made that the deposits of the insti- tuition gained than $700000 on the Monday following the death of Riordan. They have con- tinued to grow
 Gov Smith is fairly launched on his career as big business The banking concern of which he is the head already is one of the large institutions of the metropolis and it's Board of Directors is said to be one of the strongest It includes some of the richest men of the City and the organization contains some of the best bankers
 Under the circumstances it is fairly reasonable Oo CoAO1uue tldl CON. SnllIA haS definitely quit politics as vocation. and that henceforth he will devote his great attainments and wide popularity to business He has other business enterprises under his direction well as the affairs of the big bank of which he is now the head Among them is the management of a building company that will erect an 32story office building the site formerly oc- cupied by the Waldorf Astoria Hotel It will be the worlds largest building providing room for TO- 900 business and professional men and workers
 It only recently that the New York Times said it had begun to look as though the Demo- crats would have to support Gov. Smith through another Presidential campaign That is because he is everywhere regarded as the real leader of the Democratic Party The National Committee con- posed of representatives of all the States in the Union recognizes his leadership and the rank and file of the Democratic Party that gave him in ex. cess of 15000000 votes last year for him
 But the chances that the time is not distant when there must be attention given to picking ou new standard bearer for 1892. With Gov smiti out thought now seems to center on two ind viduals: Gov.

ENCOURAGING WORDS FROM MR.
 BRADLEY.

F. w. Bradley says the Juneau mining section lis destined to be one of the foremost mlnng districts on the American continent" There is no one in the world better qualified to testify on that subject than MT Bradley. He has been connected with mining as Consulting Engineer and President of the old Treadwell companies and President of the Alaska Juneau and Treadwell Yukon companies, in this region for third of century. He also, during the same period, has been connected with the Bunker Hill and Sullivan (for many years now as President) and other great mines in rich min ing districts.
 MT. Bradley is one of the foremost mining men of the word His successes in his profession as a Mining Engineer have been unexcelled by any of them He is now President of the American Institute of Mining Engineers.
 When therefore, he talks about the Juneau mining district he speaks authortatively.
 If Juneau had other resource her position as mining center would make her very import ant city If she had no other resource than as center for the fishing industry she would be able to look forward to a bright If she had no other prospect than that which is hers as a center for timber industries, pulp and paper and lumber, she could confidently count upon that to make her one of the leading cities engaged in those industries
 But she has all of these and she is the com of large area. People who located at Juneau ought to congratulate themselves. They in about the best little city the Pacific Coast and the one with about the best prospects of any of them to become big city.

Press Deserves Protection.
Seattle Post-1ntelligencer)

Three reporters for the Washington Times are serving a jail sentence of forty-five days rather than betray a confidence obtained in the line of duty.
 Their imprisonment is only the latest of several fragrant examples of judicial tyranny in contempt cases that richly deserves and will soon receive the attention of Congress
 Senator Capper of Kansas is drafting a bill to exempt newspapermen from the obligation of revealing a confidence obtained in the line of duty.
 This exemption has long been enjoyed by the lawyer, the doctor, the clergyman and certain classes of public officials.
 But only State in the Union has granted this exemption to newspapermen Maryland passed such law thirty three years ago. And the Capper bill will be modelled upon the Maryland law
 It is high time that Congress recognized the quasi-pubc relation of the newspaper to the public and gave that relationship the protection of Fed eral law
 Many Judges in the exercise of their discre- ton have recognized this relationship and extended to newspapermen the same protection in the mat ter Of professional condolences that the law gives to lawyers doctors and clergymen
 But the jaing of the Washington newspaper men demonstrates the need of giving to news paper ethics that protection which only the man. date of the law can provide
 That the Senate at least will look with favor upon the Capper bill it is reasonable to assume. Because only few months ago the Senate re- iusea to cite for contempt of that body reporters who declined to reveal the source of their informa ton regarding vote taken in an executive ses- sion.
 surely II the Senate, which is a part of the aW-naking branch of the Government, can, with out offending its dignity recognize the obligation oi heWSpaperman to preserve confidence ob- tanned in line of duty it's judicial partner in the Government rightly be required to do uke~ wise ~ -e
 Ana that is what the Capper bill proposes to oo-compel all Federal courts to recognize the onas puohc relation Of the newspaper to the public, and of its public obligation

 Now, Master Fall" she said this key will unlock the good, crisp fall season for everyone. And if Madame Summer saves her supply of keys she will be ready for next year, but I've brought her a little key which she may use some time in the next few weeks, if she wish es.
 When she uses it people will say, Why, it's so warm we must be hay ing Indian summer "Then I've brought keys for the winter season and for the spring season-not just one key for each, but several
 "I'll give one of them to Old Man Winter and another to Miss Spring time, and I'll give them a few extra keys, too, so they can unlock a lit tie of their own weather when it's another season.
 "These keys are Mother Natures secrets and people are always won dering about them When a warm day comes during the cold season people cannot quite understand it. It is really because of these extra keys. Then there are many oth- CTS to whom I give keys-to those who unlock chilly, but not very cold weather! icy and blowy wealth CT; rainy and blustery weather.
 Sometimes when the seasons are very late it is because some of my family have mislaid their keys and have to look everywhere for them.
 But they always find them in the end. And then, too, l am al ways travelling around with extra keys so no season in my world can be lost for long!"
