Two Parties.
BY the Associated Press


KNOXVILLE, Tenn, November T.
William D. Upshaw, the Prohibition
party's candidate for President. said
last night in a prediction statement
that If everybody In the United States
who is dissatisfied with the liquor
planks in both old party platforms
would have the courage of their con-
victionS, the Prohibition candidate for
President would get $4,000, 900 votes on
Tuesday"
UpshaW predicted he would poll "by
far the largest vote any Prohibition
candidate ever received"
This is my deliberate opinion after
mingling with the people of dozen
States during this campaign" he said.
The fact that they will not all vote as
they feel is because they are the poll
ticaI serfS OF Americas greatest
depotiSm-party loyalty.
Convention action and party in
dorsement cannot make right out of
wrong. Liquor is just as bad as it was

claim the triumph OF tie amendment,

There is only one way to settle this

gin is to elect the only dry presidential
candidate before the American people.

ALASKA JUNEAU WILL AGAIN
 TACKLE TAKU.

The announcement that the Alaska Juneau will next Spring resume development work in the Taku District this time on the Whitewater group, gold property, is reassuring. The Alaska Juneau man. agement is familiar with the showings in the Taku country and prepared from experience to operate In that section. The fact that it has taken another option in the country is decidedly encouraging
 It is a fortunate thing for Juneau and this Territory that the Alaska Juneau is always ready to undertake to prospect and develop new mineral properties and that it has the organization and capital with which to prospect develop and operate them if indications are favorable
 Gastneau Channel people sincerely hope that the new Taku enterprise will develop into large and profitable mine.

A Merited Honor.
Manchester Guardian. )


 The award of this years Nobel Prize for Ltera- ture to MT John Galsworthy sets the seal of inter- natiolal recognition the work of one of the most distinguished writers of time MT. Gals worthy, like one of his characters is "old English even mere English" if ever anyone was, though, as this award has recognized he is also something more. There have been interpreters with wider and more humorous appreciation of the English scene interested and knowledgeable in more popu- lar, nosier, and perhaps more vulgar corners of that scene. But since Thackeray has por- trayed with sympathetic fidelity one great section of English society. MT. Galsworthys world is not large world it is not perhaps even the most interesting the most important world, but at least he has held up to it a mirror which is both beautiful and true. These men and of his, in the agreeable certitudes of com fortabe lives, may appeal as little to all tastes the lives they lead. But transmitted into art they have the exquisite charm of any other delicate filigree work. And it would be unfair to say of MT. Gasworthy somebody has said of Thackeray, that he looks all life from club window of St. James's. There is the other Mir Galsworthy, the champion of the "underdog" and the oppressed the passionate hater of creutly anywhere, whether to man to beast Like others of his gifts, the divine quality of pity in MT. Galsworthy's work has no national boundaries, and it is good that it should have more than national recognition.

though we now sli then have some trivial things happen in this line. Probably the reason we 6o no. have more serious trouble along these lines is because our Legislators appropriate So much money for worthy ps-poes out of the Territorial funds that there is nothing left for spells by scheming politicians
 Alaska and Alaskans can well be proud that the Democrats made such a sweeping victory throughout the Territory During the past several years each election engen- dered animosity especially among the rank and file of the Republican politicians, which spread to the citizens and voters. It is not necessary to go back only to the recent election and see the fighting and racket eering existing between the Paul faction the Cole, Rustgard and Wickersham factions all Republicans, destroying their party and one another on the altar of politics for what?-a political job
 This election has done away with all these factions in one big sweep by the Democratic landslide throughout Alaska, and the people of Alaska can congratulate themselves that it has come to pass a new deal will henceforth be forthcoming. The citizen and resident who has been torn asunder by this factionalism may now get together and shake hands and be friends and neighborly, instead of political enemies.
 It is to be hoped that the Democrats will profit by the factional fighting of the Re- publicans and work shoulder to shoulder for the best interests of Alaska and the people of this vast store-house of wealth. If you are party man look to your or ganization heads to guide you in matters political, in this way only can an organiza- ton be kept together. Remember many a good man has lost out because he thought he was bigger than the organization, and many a position has been surrendered for the good of the party.
 Already numerous names have been mem tioned for positions to be filled and it is certain there will be many more appli- cants for jobs than there is positions to be filled. Some will be successful, some will be dissatisfied, that goes without say ing but to those who are unsuccessful 1t is not necessary that they immediately bolt the organization, but should await their chance when another opening takes place.

NOME ADVICE TO ALASKA
 DEMOCRATS.

? Declaring that the overwhelming Democratic vii tory in Alaska was good thing for the people the North the Nome Nugget urges Democrats to stan together to avoid factional fighting and to folio and support the organization. It said that on in this way the mistakes of .the Republics Party of the last few years be avoided. In editorial entitled "A Political Lesson" the Nugg said
 The Democratic landslide in the elections held in the United States and Alaska last Tuesday surprise to nearly every body except a scattered few. It is an easy matter after election for many to say T told you so" but nevertheless the tre- mendous victory such as it was, was not even contemplated by the best of political philosophers.
 However a change in administration was to be expected, by the clear thinking and those who not following the election for job or for the purpose of making bets but by the mass of the people who daily, are confronted with obtaining their daily wages and something to eat for their loved ones. These are the voters who caused the change of administration from Republi- to Democratic.
 The result of the election in the States as well as in Alaska, we believe, was for the best interest of the people, however, time alone will be the best judge That the peo- pie were sick and tired of political scan- das consisting of Government loot, graft ing and racketeering of every kind in- cuding Prohibition from the Harding Ad- ministration down, there is little doubt. Is it any wonder then that Republicans and independents joined together to make a clean sweep of the present Administration in order to get new deal" in the States.
