as a Democrat, had actually registered

Of Tate as q Republican, he claimed,
the commission would have seven Re

Republicans Enter Debate.
This assertion brought three admins

Fess of Ohio, Goff OF West Virginia and
Watson of Indiana, the party leader.
They asserted that Woodlock had been
recommended as a Democrat by sucn
prominent members of that party as

himself as a Democrat.
While the opposition to Hughes was
borne in large part by the independent
Republican group from the Middle

He was Blaine of Wisconsin.

TATE IS ATTACKED
AS FOE OF MASSES
Same Objection Met in
Hughes Nomination Arises
in |. C. C. Fight.

BY the Associated Press.
The same objection which met, but
failed to reject the nomination of
Charles Evans Hughes as Chief Justice
of the United States is being raised
in the Senate against the confirmation
of High NJ. Tate as a member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Tate is criticized by a small group
Of Southern Democrats as one who, by
environment and professional associa-
ton, is prejudiced in favor of the great
corporate interests of the Nation as
opposed to the masses of the people.
A vote on his nomination was de-
ferred until today, when vigorous OPP
position arose resulting late yesterday
in a spirited debate, with Black of Ala
bama and Smith of South, Carolina
carrying the attack, and Mcclellan of
Tennessee rising to Tate's defense. All
three are Democrats.
Smith Supports Black.
Black asserted that the nominee was
attorney for the Southern Railway and
the power interests and in addition
complained that his appointment was
a violation of the spirit of the law re-
curing a bipartisan commission. Smith
followed with an expression Of the
same view.
In reply, Mcclellan read Tate's testi-
mony before the interstate commerce
committee, which passed upon the
nomination, in which he said he had
not served personally as counsel for
either the railways or power interests
although his law firm had some of their
business.

And what he has done for the city schools, Prof. Keller believes he can do for the public schools of the Territory. And that is the reason why he is a candi- cate for the Republican nomin- ation for Commissioner of Edu- cation. And those who are fam iliar with his work both at Fair

 that the voters of the Territory are going to select Prof. Keller

Knights Candidacy Ls
 We'll Receiued

Reports from the Third and Fourth Divisions indicate that ,he Republican voters have talk en quite kindly to the candidacy of Frank L. Knight, of Anchor age, for Territorial Treasurer. He has host of friends in the section where he is known, and many have taken it upon them selves to see that he has a big vote in the primaries. Frank Knight is not only a courteous and affable man but his insight into banking methods as presi- dent of Anchorage's leading banking institution, thoroughly qualiy him for the new duties which he will be called upon to perform.
 His friends in the First Divi- siCn feel assured that he will poll a substantial majority in the Panhandle" The present in cumbent has been in the office for IT years, as an appointee of the several Governors. But now that the office has been made elective, it seems only fair that the will of the people should pre- vail in the selection of a Treas urer who would serve the many instead of the few, as at present.

1iiresome Political Lies

Tom Marquam was summon ed to Washington a year and a half ago on an indictment for violating the election law prac- tice. While he may not have been tried yet, the willy Tom has mot been idle. He presumably, while at the National Capital, is representing certain Alaska in terests-largely political. And when he sent out the telegram to the Empire stating that the House Committee on Claims had rejected the bill to enable the Indians of Alaska to bring suit before the Court of Claims for dispoSsession of their lands, the fact that he was stating an un- truth did not disturb Tom. And knowing Tom in the years gone by, the Empire did not seek to find out whether Tom was simp- ly romancing and playing what he thought was a smart political trick. But these kind of polit- lcal lies are becoming a little tiresome to the people of Alaska and if Delegate Sutherland's investigations in the present rase result in more indictments possibly the practice may event. ually be stopped.
