REGULAR COP. SLATE WINS IN
 CITY ELECTION
A d m inistr alton Ticket Sweeps All Precincts
 Castineau Channel

With a record breaking total vote in the local Republican pri- maries, Tuesday, the Administra- ton slate headed by Attorney Gen. eral John Rustgard carried the city in landslide of votes, giving every candidate a cleancut majority. The regulars didn't lost single one of the three precincts, or, in fact, any precinct on Gastineau Channel.
 These candidates received majori- ties ranging from TIT for Gildea to 563 for Gardner in Juneau. Rustgard carried the town over Judge Wickersham by 209 votes. w. K. Keller was given 9 majority of 182 over Commissioner L. w. Breuer in the race for Commission CT of Education nomination.
 Vote Is Large
 The local vote was one of the heaviest ever cast in the city in primary election, and most of the voters used the Republican ballots. The total in both primaries was 1,012 of which 948 were Republican votes and GA were Democratic.
 The big vote was astonishing to leaders of both parties who had not expected the citizens to turn out in such large numbers in face of unfavorable weather conditions. The local interest was demonstrated in no uncertain fashion when voters braved cold, rainy weather to go to the polls.
 Gardner Leads Ticket
 Tom Gardner, regular candidate for the Senatorial nomination, led his ticket locally, and that race was procession of voters for him with his opponent, Senator w. A. Steel, trailing far behind. The former received 725 and Steel 1892 votes in the city.
 Elmer Reed swamped Cash Cole in the Auditors fight. He piled up G93 votes to 222 for his oppon- ent.
 Treasurer Walstein c. Smith walked away from Frank L. Knight, Anchorage, in like manner, receiv- ing 678 votes to 183 for Knight.
 Roy Noland, Walter P. Scott, Grover c. Vim and Pat Gildea were the four high men in the House race. Noland received 678, Scott, 665, Vim 524 and Gildea 491. Johnson was fifth with 3l4, Paul PA, Sommer ITS and Wacker 146.
 The surprise in this race was the fact that Paul received larger vote than either Cole or Steel, p more than the former and 82 more than Steel.
 Vote By Precinct
 More than 50 per cent of the To- cal vote was cast in Precinct No. l, with $50 Republican and 35 Demo- cratic ballots. Gardner led his ticket there, receiving 437 to 82 for Steel. Rustgard defeated Wicker sham there 331 to 192. and the House ticket was given handsome ma jorities. Keller led Breuer BPS to 190.
 The race in the Second Precinct was close between Rustgard and Wickersham, the vote being l19 for the former and 112 for the latter. Gardner again led his ticket, 174 to 58 for Steel. Keller beat Breu- CT and Reed swamped Cole.
 Precinct No. 3, gave the Adminis- tration ticket fine majority. Gard ner received IA votes to P for Steel. Rustgard led Wickersham l04 to fl. Reed ran away from Cole 113 to 30. Keller topped Breuer 81 to ST.
 Small Democratic Vote
 The total Democratic vote was but GA. There were only two con tests on the ticket, Highway En- gineer and in the House race. R. J. =.

made substantial progress. May l refer for a short time to few of the changes that have taken place?
 This building is provided by the Federal Government to house the administrative agencies in the Territory, and on this occasion 1t seems appropriate to review briefly the development of the Territorial Government since 1867. For IT years after the purchase Alaska was an unorganized Territory with out a civil or criminal code or courts of any kind. During this period the Army, and later the Navy, were the sole administrative agencies. To correct this deplor- able situation Congress passed the Act of May 17th, 1884 creating the District of Alaska and providing Ia civil and criminal code and courts for it's administration. Sitka was chosen as the Seat of Govern rnent.
 Some twenty-two years later, in 1906, the right of the Territory to representation in Congress was recognized, and the election of a Delegate was authorized. Through out these years Alaska was develop ing; substantial communities had grown and prospered; our mines and fisheries had produced great wealth. and our people were able and eager to assume the responsi- bilities of Territorial Government In 1912 Congress was convinced that the Territory possessed the necessary population and resources to justify a form of Territorial Government and the Organic Act was passed. Since that time there have been some amendments but our present law is substantially that of 1912.
