Alaska in Vanguard of Na- tionwide Landslide to
 Democratic Party FIVE TERRITORIAL
 OFFICERS ELECTED
Five Senators and Twelve Representatives Ap-
 parently Returned

Alaska, first of the political sub- divisions of the nation to unfurl the banner of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, yesterday led the van- guard under that flag in the great landslide that swept the Demo cratic party into power in the Territory as well as nationally.
 On incomplete returns the Ter ritory has elected Democrats fer 2 Delegate to Congress, Attorney General, Auditor, Commissioner of Education, Hig ghway Engineer, probably five Territorial Senators and 12 out of the Is members of the House of Representatives.
 A Veritable Landslide
 Yesterdays balloting resulted in a veritable landslide in Alaska fer the Democratic party. Senator Anthony J. Dimond, nominee for Delegate is practically 5000 votes ahead of Judge James Wicker sham who sought reelection and lis lead will continue to grow, particularly as the indications are that the Southeast Alaska Indian precincts have voted largely for him as well as every other import ant community in the Territory.
 Sixty-six precincts in the four Divisions, giving about two-thirds Of the estimated total vote, gave Senator Dimond 7,290 and Wick ergham 2,876 votes. The Demo- cratic nominee has swept every Division and carried every one of the larger precincts. His average is now just under three to one and the final count probably will make it fully that high.
 Boyle is Elected
 The election of Frank A. Boyle for Auditor is assured as well as that of James s. Truitt, Anchor age attorney, for Attorney Gen eral; William A. Hesse, for High way Engineer, and Anthony E. Karnes for Commissioner of Edu- cation.
 MT. Boyle has present lead of 2,18l over Cash Cole. Even should the Indian precincts go solidly for the latter which they are ap- parently not doing, he could not overcome the Democratic candi- dates great lead.
 MT. Truitt is leading MT. Rust gard by 533 votes and this mar gin is expected to be increased by additional returns from the Third and Fourth Divisions. MT Truitt is running two to one ahead of William L. Paul Independent.
 Keller Runs We'll
 w. K. Keller, Commissioner of Education, seeking reelection made the best showing of any Republi- can candidate, but is trailing An taony E. Karnes, Democrat ot Ketchikan, by 399 votes and the latter is certain to build up his lead largely in the remaining Southeast Alaska precincts, as he is getting the bulk of the Indian votes.
 William A. Hesse, running for re- election for Highway Engineer on the Democratic ticket, has swamp cd F. E. Wann, Republican, Fair hanks, under an avalanche o1 votes. He carried every Division and now has lead of 2,033 which will probably grow materially in the finals.
 Control Legislature
 A Democratic majority in the Legislature is assured. The com plete ticket has been seated in this Division, consisting of Norman R Walker, Ketchikan, Senator; F. J Baronovich, J. w. Kehoe Thomas B. Judson and Joe Green Repre- sentatives.
 In the Second Division lame; Frawley, Democrat, has com manding lead over R. N. Sund- quist, Republican for the Senate H. Blake, Nels SiWanberg anc tC,ontioued on Page FOur)
