they had thrown him off the slate.
 In a signed statement given The Empire today, MT. Breuer said:
 T have been asked to state the reasons why I am not being sup ported by the Paul-Steel organi- zation. It is due to the following:
 q refused to give MT Steel the position as my Secretary a couple of months ago, and then, to assure the combination that, after the primary election, I would place another man of their choice in my office in the same capacity. This would have strengthened Steel's claim to residence here.
 Then, in addition, I did not agree to contribute $50 to the campaign fund of the Paul-Steel organization. although I did say l was willing to pay for legitimate advertising and publicity.
 T am forcec to conclude from these facts that they concluded they could not handle me as they wished, and that my desire to keep the schools of Alaska entirely free from factional and partisan politics did not suit their plans

Refusal by him to permit the Wickersham-P Paul combination to dictate appointments in the office of Commissioner of Education, and his failure to appoint Will A Steel, candidate for the Republican nomi- nation for Senator, as Secretary 10 the Commissioner of Education, is declared to be the reason why that combine failed to put him on it's slate, said statement issued today by L. w. Breuer, Commissioner of Education, and candidate for the Republican nomination to succeed himself.
 MT. Breuer alleges that some 60 days back he was approached with the demand that he discharge his present secretary, Mrs. Marie Drake, and name Steel in her place, which he refused to do. Also, that he de- clined to be held up for what he considered to be an exhorbitant campaign contribution. However, when he left Juneau recently on an official trip to western and in- terior communities, he was still as- sured of the support of the Wick crsham faction, and did not know until he reached Fairbanks that

KELLER ISSUES STATEMENT ON
 HIS POSITION
Alleging Misunderstanding, Says Is Under Obliga-
 ton to No Faction

Asserting that @ misunderstanding had developed in respect to his standing as candidate for the Re- publican nomination for Commis- sioner of Education, W. K. Keller today issued a statement assert ing that he lis under no obligation to any faction" and adding that he adheres to his original position that candidates for the office to which he aspires should not "be drawn into factional quarrels."
 MT Keller's statement was tele- graphed to all important communi- ties in Southeastern Alaska simul- taneously with it's release here. While it makes no mention of the fact, it was undoubtedly caused by the comment on his being placed on the Wickersham-Pau slate as shown by sample ballots being dis tributed over the First Division.
 He said: q have been advised there is a misunderstanding of my attitude in the present campaign As I have heretofore stated the schools should be kept out of poli- ties. While appealing for all votes of all factions, I still adhere to my original statement that candidates for Commissioner of Education should not be drawn into factional quarrels. I have placed myself un- der no obligations to any faction. I will appreciate the votes of all who are interested in efficient, non- political administration of the .al,ooIe

COURT HOLDS BUYER
NOT GUILTY

A decision that the purchases Of liquor
is not violation of the law was handed
down by Judge James NJ. Morton, March
7, in the Federal Court at Boston. The
case in question was that of James E.
Farrar, who had been indicted on a charge
of purchasing Intoxicating liquors. Judge
Morton declared that the government
sought to convict Farrar under the sec
ton of the national prohibition act, which
forbids the sale, barter, transportation or
purchase of liquor without first obtaining
a permit. He agreed with Farrar's coun-
sci by contending that this refers only to
those legally entitled to buy and sell liq-
uor under permit, and held that the en-
forcement section of the VolEead act Is
section 3, which does not hold liable the
purchaser of the liquor.

Evidently the dry folks do lot of

days roll around still are casting their
ballots, although they may not fully in
dorse all the things done in the name of
prohibition. They are not in favor of a
return of the old-time saloon or any of

REAL AND FAKE REFERENDA
Referendum voting considered as man.
date directed to congress has many in
convenienceS and some perils. This is a
representative government not pure de-
mocracy. If popular mandates on prohi-
bition are accepted by congress, what
shall be said Of popular mandates on
other subjects of controversial legislation?
Would congress accept a popular mandate
on currency, tariff social insurance or ma
tional defense? Would it be desirable to
do so?
Every member of the lower house of
congress. and one-third the members of
the senate will retire after March 4, 1881,
or will seek reelection in November
State referenda are not needed to deter

ner whether the Volstead act should be
modified or whether the Eighteenth
Amendment should be repealed The can
didates are the referenda if they stress
their views on national prohibition. The
Illinois senatorship presents a clear case

Lewis, her Democratic opponent, is
against Volsteadism and all it's works.
