ture the right to pass laws on fisheries, fur and game, qualified tions of voters and many other questions affecting the everyday fife of Alaskans, and which does not provide for local self govern ment to communities except in municipal affairs.
 During the 1881 session, the AL aska Legislature passed a bill to permit absentee voting in Territor- lal elections. It sought to make IL possible for residents, absent from their homes on either busi- ness or pleasure, either in or out of the Territory, could cast their votes before leaving and have them counted in the election.
 Despite that fact, those people who are away from home next Tuesday will lose their votes, just as in the past. The reason is: the Legislature is prohibited from changing the election laws passed for Alaskans by Congress. And that prohibition is another one of the present Delegates off-color offspring.
 The 1881 Legislature, aware of

to "banish poverty from the land' to put chicken in every pot" and two automobiles in every garage"
 While former President Coolidge did not men, tion his name the public will not forget that President Hoover will continue to be the (nominal, at least) Republican Party's leader if he is re- elected. Calvin is just promising for Herbert.
 The people accepted Hoover's promises in 1928 The crash in 1929 Hoover promised it would be mere flash in the pan and would soon be over. In January 193o, the price of stocks reached new everything will be normal and the people will forget there was crash Things went from bad to worse. Then came 1881 which than 1880. The moratorium and more Hoover promises. Then 1892 which has been worse than 1881 Coolidge was sent to the front to promise but his promise was based on the assumption of Hoover performance
 Now Hoover says the country will go to the bow in 1928. If he cannot control he would scare the people into another panic. With than three years of unfufilled promises the people getting angry at the threat of times if we do not take promises. They realize that to accept the Hoover promises would mean four more years of Hoover. There is nothing in the Hoover Administrations record to people to run such 3 hazard. They have been waiting for more than two years to get rid of him. They are not likely to pass over the opportunity they now have to get change. They will take chance on MT Hoover's being able to scuttle the ship before he leaves the deck.

20 YEARS AGO
 From The Empire
November 5, 1912

November 5, 1912 Election day. Wilson beat Taft
 and Roosevelt. In a Presidential straw ballot taken at Burford,s Cigar Store in Juneau, Wilson poll- ed l28, Roosevelt 48, Dabs 37. Taft 28 Alaskans voted for their first
 Legislature. In Juneau 45O votes
 were cast and the Non-partisan
 legislative ticket headed by H. T.
 Tripp defeated the Progressive leg
 islative ticket headed by Emory
 Valentine. To the Legislature. the First Division elected H. T. Tripp of Juneau, J, M. Tanner of Skae- way, Senate; William Stubbins of Douglas, Charles E. Ingersoll of Ketchikan, Arthur G. Shoup of Sit ka. N. V. Svindseth of Wrangell. House. Henry Roden, practicing law at Iditarod, was one of the Senators chosen in the Fourth Di- vision.
 To inspect Haines as the possible coast terminal for a railroad to the Interior, authorized at the re- cent session of Congress, was the purpose of the visit of Major Nor row, Chairman; Lieut.. Commander Cox, Alfred H. Brooks and E. Inger- soil of the Alaska Railroad Com mission. They arrived from Cor dova on the steamship Alameda and went on the Government tug Peterson to Haines.
 Large attendance and an enjoy- able time marked the Elks' Annual Smoker. The program consisted of boxing bouts, and vocal and in- strumental musical selections. Will jam Garster was master of cere- monies. James McCloskey referred the boxing. David Housel headed a delegation from Treadwell. There was plenty of good cheer in evil dence and liquid refreshments" The | Empire reported.
 After the closing of the canning season, no ships called at Yakutat and six weeks mail for that place had accumulated in the Juneau postoffice. Postmaster Earle Hun ter said he saw no prospects of moving it.
 While the steamship Alameda was in port, Mrs. Albert White of Val dez greeted Juneau friends. She was on her way to San Francisco.

GOV. ROOSEVELT FOR ALASKA AND
 DIMOND.

The endorsement of Senator Dimond by GOV Roosevelt and the promise that he will gladly work out comprehensive Alaska program with nm as Alaska's Democratic Delegate to Congress IS pig thing for Alaska. It ought to insure the sweeping election of MT. Dimond and lend encouragement to eevry citizen of this Territory. It means that egs- laton carrying out MT. Dmond's program will become Administration measures, and their enact ment will come quickly
 The Alaska Railroad was built in Alaska be- cause it was made an Administration measure by President Woodrow Wilson at the beginning of his tenure The late Charles G. Heifner and the late William Pigott of Seattle, two of the State Of Washngton's leading Democrats, Judge Robert w. Jennings, then of Juneau Democratic National Con- mitteman c. R. Cheney now deceased, and other Seattle and Alaska Democrats with the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Alaska commercial bodies enlisted President Wilson's interest immed- lately after his inauguration Mir Heifner and MT. Pigott in fact, visited him at Princeton shortly after the election but before he was nducted into office, and impressed him with the necessity of the undertaking, From these sources many Sena- tors and Representatives in Congress lined up for the develop Alaska" program early in 1913 Senator George E. Chamberlain of Oregon became very active in the premises AS matter of fact it was Senator Chamberlain's Alaska Railroad bill that finally became law. It pasesd the Senate and substituted in the House for the Wicker sham bill.
 That experience indicates how important it is to get the President interested in Alaska early in his Administration. With MT. Dimond as Dele gate to Congress, backed up by Democratic Ad- ministraton in Alaska, that task will be smplier than it was in 1912. The Alaska program will be well under way before most programs for other legislation can be worked out and it will be among the first to be translated into statutes
 This situation gives the voters of Alaska chance in lifetime to serve their Territory. In this the way to serve it is to elect MT. Dmond whelmingly and the straight Democratic ticket next Tuesday. Gov. Roosevelts election is assured. MT. Dimonds election is not in doubt The best way to make the service to Alaska complete is to elect all Alaska.

HOOVER WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE AS
 PRESIDENT.

It is admitted even by those who hope to see Hoover wriggle through with a bare majority of the Electoral College that Roosevelt will have a tremendous majority of the popular vote and that both Houses of Congress will be largely Democratic and overwhelmingly anti-Hoover. It is admitted that there will be but bare handful of Hoover Republicans in the Senate and a vast majority against him in the House.
 Under such circumstances it would be absurd to expect Congress to follow Hoover's leadership. He would at best represent minority of the people. Then, it is known that Hoover is a very reluctant follower As William Allen White, of his most active supporters said, he likes to push button and have do he bids. He doesn't consult, he tells With the Senate and House against him and a large majority of the people against him he would be impossible President It would be worse than it when Hayes President because Hayes did sign the bills passed by the Democratic Congress, and supported the Congressional policy.

JUST PROMISING.

Former President Coolidge whose reputation for sagacity, thanks to the fact that he did mot choose to run" again, is still admitted summed up the case for MT. Hoover in two sentences
 There is nothing that could be more re-
 assuring to the business interests of the
 country at this time than the knowledge
 that the people promise to support sound
 Republican principles. When this is dem-
 onstrated, many of our ills will disappear
 That recalls those promises made for the Re- publican Party four years ago. when under the leadership of MT Hoover, the Republicans were going to make prosperity permanent institution D

universal in Juneau, there has
 consequently been little wagering cone on the outcome in these two contests.
 But Dr. w. w. Council, finding no Hoover or Wickersham money in sight, has a unique proposition for betttors He offers to wager real money that he can name a city of 100000 inhabitants in the United States in which Hoover will not get a single vote He places no limit in the bets and is pre- pared to take on all corners.
 The newspaper Labor, published at Washington, D. O., and sold at bargain rates in quantity lots to cash customers, halls Delegate Wickersham as Father of the AL aSka Railroad" It might have added, but it didn't. that he is the daddy of the toll-road system in Alaska that with which is is pro- posed to replace free public high ways. In fact, it failed to men, ton several other noted progeny of Wickedsham, including the AL aska Bone Dry Law. an Organic Act that denies the local Legisla-

MINOR LEAGUES PLAN DRASTIC
 ECONOMY MOVE

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5. = Radica changes in the administration O. the minor leagues through tht National Association of Profession. Il Baseball Leagues will be propos- I'd at the convention in Columbus ), December 2, 8 and g. Among the significant recom- mentions to be made by the five members of the executive con- mittee-William G. Bramh a m chairman; Warren G. Giles, sec- .etary; J. Alvin Gardner, Joseph F. Carr, and Ross c. Harriott are the following:
 Salary Limits
 Putting teeth in the salary finn it's by requiring the player and club president to sign affidavits to the salary paid, providing a player may be placed on the incl igfble list for two years for a false affidavit and the lining of a club 20 per cent of the maximum monthly salary limit.
 The lowering of the player limit as follows: Glass AA, IT men; class A., Is; classes B. c. and D., IS, including manager, and the placing of salary limits at $6,500 per month, excluding salary paid to the manager for class AA,; s3,500 for class A.; $2,000 for class B.; $500 for class C., and $1,000 for class D.
 All class A clubs shall have on their active player list at all times during the playing season not less than two "non-class" players; class A, three; others, six, and each club in classes B., c. and D. be required to own outright and at all times not less than ten contracts on their active player roster.
 Amendment Proposed
 
 An amendment in the National Association agreement, striking at the practice of major league clubs withdrawing support from their farms during the season by pro- viding that where any club as-, sumes the ownership or operation of club of lower classification and withdraws such support dur ing the season it shall not be per- mitted to have a working agree ment, or part or complete owner ship of a minor league club at any future time, except upon posting q guarantee equal to double the maximum salary limit per club.
 Elimination of the broadcasting Of home games.
 Discontinuance of the payment Of transportation of players re- porting where clubs train on their home grounds, as there is no rule requiring such expenditure.

the limitation thus placed on it's power, provided that the absentee voting law should not become ef- fective until it was validated by
 Congress. Delegate Wickersham, possibly regarding it as another trivial matter, neglected to intro- ouce the necessary bill to make Congress validate the local law.
 Italian residents of Douglas are really indignant over what they term sighting reference to their race made by Delegate Wicker sham in his speech in that city several days ago. In that address, referring to importation of cannery labor from the States, the Dele gate is quoted as having said: Chinese, Filipinos, and 'Dagoes' 3 were brought north as cheap labor every year, crowding Alaskans out of jobs.
 John Marin, well-known Douglas resident, who attended the Doug las meeting, voicing the resentment felt by himself and others of Ital- ian descent said: We take ex- ceptiOn to his statements in re- gard to Italian labor. -. The slurring manner in which Judge Wickersham made his statement was to belittle the Italian people We believe he should be relieved from office if he is representing only certain classes, and we ought to help elect delegate who will represent all of the people. We are going to do everything we can to aid Senator Anthony J. Di- mond, Democratic candidate.

No advance registration is required of an elector to vote next Tuesday. It is not required that one should have voted in the primary election last April Any citizen of the United States male or female, who has lived in Alaska one year and in the pre- cinct in which he votes thirty days, provided he can read and write or voted in 1924, is qualified to cast ballot. All voters will be registered when they go to the polls and ask for ballot.
 The Gastineau Channel communities ought to cast by far the largest vote they ever have cast. Every qualified eector ought to go to the polls and vote

POLITICAL TIDE RIPS

Democrats are gleeful over the endorsement of Senator Dimond for Delegate by Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt who, in an authorized interview in New York said he would lik etc develop compre- hensive program for Alaska with a Democratic Delegate to Congress.
 1t has been suggested that the Republicans might counter this stroke of strategy by getting Presi- dent Hoover to authorize Commis- sioner Henry OMailey to announce his own endorsement of Delegate Wickersham dor reelection, and to assure Alaskans he would also welcome an opportunity to con- tinue the present administrative program in Alaska with the co-op- eration of Republican Delegate to Congress. This would be in keeping with the Republican cam- paign slogan: Tt Might Have Been Worse"
 It takes two to make bet. Since the belief that Gov. Roose- welt will be elected President, and Senator Dimond Delegate to Con- gress next Tuesday is well-nigh

LARGE VOTE EXPECTED TUESDAY.

The great interest in the election this year is testified to by increased registration of voters throughout the country. It is estimated that there will be between 45,OOOOOO and 5OOO00O0 persons qualified to vote next Tuesday. New York City has 328,000 more registered voters this year than she had in 1928 The State of Washington shows an increase of than 100000 Seattle alone in- creased her registration by 35,0OO more than the last high mark.
 The Literary Digest Presidential poll shows more than 60 per cent of the voters who did not vote in 1928 are casting their ballots for Gov Roosevelt Whether they will so vote next Tuesday ought to be apparent in the returns next week.
