ing my campaign and regardless of differences, they are sympathetic to my cause which gives me a strong conviction that I will win this election.
 Like all sourdoughs I dearly love and respect our Alaskan women; they have always been my friends. lii my early political life I advo- cated equal franchise for women. It was my greatest pleasure in the first Alaska legislature to assist by my vote in placing on the statute books of this Territory the law giv- ing our women the right to vote, and the women of Alaska enjoyed this privilege long before the nine teenth amendment passed.
 Pledge of Economy
 Tt is my purpose and pledge that the cffice of auditor will be admin istered with the strictest economy. I am utterly opposed and politically condemn the spending of public money for junketing or political trips, on the flimsy pretense that it is official business. I know no section; no division, my motto on my card is Equal loyalty to every section of Alaska. I shall be true to the Territory and it's institu- tions.
 The DO litical atmosphere in Alaska indicates strong trend to the Democratic party. With all the Territorial Democratic candidates and delegate to Congress except my self, living in Southeast Alaska, l look to see them and our Demo- cratic legislature candidates carry the first division by large ma- jority.

CAFFNEY WINS SUPPORT
 IN KETCH|XAN
Democratic Candidate for Auditor Lauded by Pio-
 neers of Alaska

: KETCHIKAN, Alaska rom Gaffney of Nome, candidate on the
 Democratic ticket for auditor of
 Alaska, has concluded his campaign
 in Ketchikan. He left here for Wrangell, and will devote his time from now until election in other parts of Southeast Alaska. For many years MT. Gaffney has been political figure in the Ter ritory, and has friends in every
 community who are working hard l for his success. They believe that he
 possesses the ability and integrity and that the Territory needs men | of his seasoned experience in the administrative branch of the Ter ritorial government.
 He is an indefatigable worker for the Pioneers of Alaska Of which he is a member, and at the Grand Igloo convention of 1928 held at
 Ketchikan a resolution was adopted giving him credit for originating the idea of having a discharging doctor from the public health serv- ice stationed at Morningside. The idea was to remove the pecunary feature on which account it was
 charged patients were arbitrarily held.
 Text of Resolutions The following is the resolution adopted:
 Whereas, Thom Gaffney of Nome Igloo No. l of Nome, Alaska, an officer of this grand igloo, hay ing suggested the idea of having a
 member of the United States public health service appointed as dis
 charging officer of the Morningside hospital at Portland, Ore. Whereas it is the sense of this grand igloo that, this idea if put Unto effect is the best remedy yet suggested for the immediate re- jlief and benefit of our unfortunate citizens confined in that institu- ton.
 Therefore, be it resolved, that lthis grand igloo give Brother Gaff- lney due credit for his suggestion
 and be it further resolved, that a copy of this resolution be sent to Brother Gaffney at Nome, Alas Ika.'
 Speaks fer Itself That resolution speaks for itself and should highly commend MT. Gaffney to the citizens of Alaska.
 The comfort that it has brought and will bring to sorrowing rela- tives and friends is impossible to estimate. This idea and the ag- rgressive fight he made for the eight hour day which he introduced in the House in the first Alaska legis-
 lature are his contributions to hu-
 manity's cause.

RosE pRoBEs HER PAST


 Mir. Howard Leckett, private de- tective, looked up at the highly rouged young woman whom he employed to receive callers.
 "A lady to see you, sir" she said.
 What's her name? Has she got an appointment?"
 q didn't ask, sir
 Well, why didn't you? How many times have I got to tell you. Well, never mind. Show her in"
 Rose Conaldine's entrance made him forget his anger Blonde, baby eyed, plenty of perfume and silk stockings and lip stick, she tripped toward him smiling and extended her card. MT Leckett placed a chair for her and glanced at the card.
 Miss Conaldine?" he murmured. And what have you come to see me about?"
 Rose gave him look of childish helplessness. MT. Leekett became almost fatherly,
 T always tell my clients that this room is, like the consulting room of a physician or the office of a law yer" MT. Leckett encouraged her, Everything that passes their lips becomes absolutely confidential
 "Thank you" she said. What l really want is, all the information you .can get me about my-well, parents"
 What was your fathers name?'
 "Conaldine I don't know his first name,' she added as MT, Leckett appeared dissatisfied.
 You're sure that was his name?' he persisted. T ask because it's such an unusual one. Are you sure there isn't an aunt or uncle who'd tell you all you want to know?n
 T have no relatives" returned Rose, stiffly. Perhaps it would be best if you'd just let me tell my story in my own words
 By all means" said MT. Leckett.
 Its a sad story" said Rose, pro ducing a scent-drenched handker- chief. But I mustn't be silly and take up a lot of your time . Fer the first nine years of my life, MT. Leckett, was one of the-the foundlings at the Sarah Sidley Home. I was called Alice Evans there because they just handed out names like they handed out clothes
 you're sure all this will be kept absolutely confidential?"
 "SIutely," agreed MT. Leckett well, one day when I was about nine the matron sent for me and told me that it had been found cut who I was. l was Rose Conal- dine and my parents were dead and my guardian, MT. Perle, had come to take me away

 He's a lawyer. Perle ana Kevern." Its a very old established firm, said MT. Leckett. doubtfully. T mean there wouldn't be likely to be any mystery about anything MT. Perle had to do with

 Thought I knew the name murmured MT. Leckett, reading the cuttings. "Ransacked the cou.IJry for him, didn't they? And they never found him."
 MT. Leckett's young woman did not even wait to collect the money due her. She hurried to the elevator, entered telephone booth in the lobby below, and called Perle and Kevern, attorneys.
 T want MT. Perle,' she said. Tell him it's about his rose-trees. MT. Perle? Reporting as arranged, sir. The lady in question has visited the firm in question. Left ten min utes ago.

be announced as fast as the
checkers can turn them in.
These points are important to
the woman who wants to be in

ranted declines in domestic prices,
Alexander IT. Legge, chairman of
the Federal Farm Board, declared
today.
He said no limit had been set on
the price the corporation would
pay nor on the quantity 1t would
buy. In its stabilizing operations,
the corporation will buy both
cash wheat and futures. He said:
"There is no pegged price in
the picture"
Legge refused either to affirm
or deny rlmor that italy had
bought so million bushels Of
wheat on long time credit.
This rumor threw the wheat
pit into a frenzy on Saturday.
While the Chicago grain price
held steady at 73 cents with the
immense buying orders Of the
Sterilization Corporation Of the
Farm Board, foreign markets,
because of the italian sale rumor,
plunged and the price in W1nr1i-
peg dropped to SO cents.
Buys 10 Million
It was learned that within the
last three days the Federal Farm
Board, in it's stabilization report,
has bought approximately 10000
600 bushels.
Chairman Legge said that in
the opinio.l of the Grain Stabili-
,uation Corporation the prices of
wheat are unreasonably dispro-
portionate to those for other
farm products. In part Legge
said:
Decentralization In world
Grain markets has made it
necessary for the Grain Stabil-
izatiOn Corporation to again
enter the wheat market in
order to stop panicky selling
and to prevent further unwar-
ranted decline; in domestic
prices.
''WhiIe the visible supply Of
wheat is large, there is no con.
gestion in any of the terminal
markets. Receipts at primary
markets are unusually lig:t,
which suggests the extent to
which farm stocks are being
used for feeding purposes.
Further price declines would
be in sympathy with foreign
markets and not justified by
domestic conditions"
Trying to Cover
As a result Of the Federal
purchases, the extent of which
became known through the Legge
statement, Chicago brokers have
been frantically attempting to
cover on future contracts held
by the stabilization corporation
and due for delivery.
