Republican Candidates Hold Enthusiastic
 Political Meeting in Old Capital City

900 cases of salmon. If Alaska would adopt similar regulations for it's pack, it would take over THIRTY THOUSAND INDIE PENDENT FISHERMEN to put up it's pack. If each fisherman was married to only one wife, that would mean 60,000 people for Alaska. If each couple had only two children, that would mean a population of 10000 people in Alaska. Gee Whiz- James WickerSham concluded the meeting by announcing that he was in full sympathy with and endorsed the statements of William L. Paul on the fish ques- tion. He called attention to the fact that only by the hardest kind of a single handed fight, he defeated the infamous Alex ander Fish Bill, a measure in troduced by the Democrats in Congress that sought to give ti- tie to trap sites.
 On the question of the lease bill, MT. Wickersham said that this measure was not a leasebill as generally understood because the bill provided that the gov ernment (of the United States or the Territory of Alaska) were fully protected by a clause allow ing "recapture" of the site at any time the government saw fit. The only thing the bill would do would be to stop jumping" of trapsites, really an impossi- bility now because of recent rulings of the war department.
 MT. Wickersham came out squarely and strongly for home rule to the fullest extent and promised to do his best to secure

The Republican Delegation
 Games Wickersham, w. C. Smith, Cash Cole, c. T. (Tom) Gardner, J. E. Johnson, William L. Paul, Grover c. Winn) held a Republican rally at Sitka last Tuesday night.
 Grover Vim, candidate for the House, acted as chairman and proved a good one. He in- troduced the men one by one in his usual witty manner.
 He announced that Walter Scott could not accompany the delegation because he was de- tained by his duties as outside foreman of the Alaska Juneau Mine However MT. Vim said that MT. Scott was a mining en- gineer, progressive in his style, and anxious to help make Alas ba a prosperous place for all AlaskanS.
 On behalf of MT. w. K.Keller, MT. Vim excused his absence by announcing that MT. Keller was the active superintendent of the Juneau Public School system and he could not make the trip without neglecting his public duties. MT. Vim hoped however that the people would appreciate the fact that if MT. Keller is elected commissioner of Education, the people could bank on his being just as faith lul to his greater trust as he was to his present one. At the same time, the chairman said nothing of the fact that MT. Keller's opponent, MT. KarneS the democratic candidate for commissioner, found little diffi- culty in leaving his similar duti- es in Ketchikan and attending the American Legion Convention in Anchorage and leaving the schools of Ketchikan to run without a head for two weeks. However this fact occurred to minds of the citizens.
 MT. w. G. Smith was then in troduced by MT. Vim to the au- dience that MT. Smith has been the treasurer of Alaska from the inception of that office IT years ago, and the business men and others thought so much of him that the Republicans in their recent primaries gave him their unqualified support. MT. Smith was very modest about his duties and the honors which the Re- publicans paid him, and prom ises to do all that he can to ad- vance the interests of all true AlaSkanS.
 Cash Cole was then introduc- ed by Mr. Vim. MT. Cole was a member of the House in 1921 and 1923. In 1923, MT. Cole was elected Speaker of the House,

FILE BIG SUIT

The Government has flied a suit to recover $1,329,785.98 against the Great Northern Railway Company on the grounds that it had overpaid the railroad company that amount during the government control of railroads during and after the World War.

and at its conclusion, the House informed him that he was ab- solutely fair to all members in all his rulings, and as a token of their appreciation gave him a very fine gold watch. The office of auditor was organized by Mir Cole and has been functioning as a first class business office MT. Cole has to see that the officials of the Territory spend ithe money only in the way the law directs. Sometimes people feel that he is too strict about this, but when the language ot the law is laid before the people, they have always agreed that MT. Cole cannot observe his oath of office otherwise.
 c. T. Gardner, Tom to most people, came to Alaska first in 1905, then as permanent re- sident in 1909. In 1923, he stept out of official life and joined the firm of Sawyer -Renolds Logging Company. He lives in Juneau where he manages that end of the very extensive business of that company. MT. Gardner's familiarity with mill business makes him the natural spokes- man for the lumber business. He informed the people of the great dangers which the paper boxes increasingly used in the fish business is bringing to our mills and says that unless some thing is done, the mills of south eastern Alaska must shut down and if they do, that means that about 2000 men will be thrown out of business. He told the peo- pie that the entire Republican delegation were pledged to find out someway to protect this inn portant industry.
 J. E. Johnson, was introduced as a progressive business man of Ketchikan, a man who promises to bring his knowledge of busi- ness to the solution of business problems. To MT. Johnson, the fish business seems of greatest importance. For the delegation, MT. Johnson thinks that the rules and regulations must be changed in such 8 way that the residents of Alaska will have a chance to make a decent living.
 William L. Paul spoke on the question and said that the issues had not changed since 1920 when he first appeared on the political field.
 Briefly he told about the Ca nadian regulations and said that no fish traps are used in British Columbia, but that all its pack was put up with fish caught by movable gear only. AS a result, 5000 independent fishermen were employed to put up 1,5OO,-

Sectional Team Point College Football Upsets Tomorrow
TEAMS
FIGHTING FOR
BREAKS
BY JOE HOLMAN

Hoping against hope. sectional
major college football teams,
Georgetown, Maryland and George
Washington, tomorrow will rule
short-enders in their respective en-.
gagements. The Hoyas and Col
onials are closing their schedules
against Detroit University and
Navy. Maryland, visiting Nash
Vile, Tenn, is to buck Vanderbilt
prior to it's final showing against
Western Maryland.
While Georgetown is journeying
to Detroit to engage the Titans
and Maryland gets together with
Vanderbilt in another intersec-
tional duel, George Washington's'
more or less limping battalion will
endeavor to surprise the overcon-
fident Midshipmen.
Reports from Annapolis
have it that Navy's regulars
are virtually ignoring the
impending Colonial clash.
Rather they are centering
their attention on their post
season game with Army.
1t is just possible that Coach
Jim Pixlee's men will deliver
Jolt. At least they figure to
carry the battle to the reserve
eleven which is expected to start
FOR Bill Ingram.
Most of George Washington's
hopes are fastened around its
backfield. Should Carter, Carlin,
Fenlon, Wells and Kriemelmeyer
all be in trim. as is hoped, Navy
likely will need its strongest de-
fense. This versatile ball running
arrangement is not to be taken
lightly by any opposition it en-
counters.
Although several G. w. play
ers are not at their physical
peak, it is thought that all
save plucky Barney Hale, reg
ular tackle who fractured his
right elbow recently, will be
available at game time.
Spirit is running high among
the Colonials. Navy's cocky atti'
tude regarding the approaching
game, it seems, has reacted fav-
orably toward a team that has
bristled up overnight.
So much fire was shown in a
practice yesterday morning that
several players had to be warned.
But, naturally enough, each re-
proach was accompanied by a
slap on the back.
OF the three above men,
toned factions, however,
Georgetown is the nearest
thing to a $3.50 bet.
The Hoyas, who steamed out
for Detroit yesterday afternoon,
are quoted as a virtually even up
proposition against Detroit. Only
recently the Titans. completely
outplayed, were fortunate to fight
Michigan State to ScoreleSs
deadlock. Georgetown defeated
the Statemen earlier in the year,
IA to 13.
Coach Mills has rounded his
strongest starting lineup into
shape and admits that George
town has better than an outside
chance to win.
Immediately after yeSter.
