THOMAS DALGITY ELECTED MAYOR BY
RECORD VOTE CAST IN CITY ELECTION

In holly contested election,
364 votes, the largest known in Il
Wrangell city election. were cast
last Tuesday at the City Hall. Last
year there were 294 ballots cast
which was a record city election
vote up to that time.
Thomas Dalgity won the election
for mayor over F. S. Barnes, the
present incumbent, while A B. An
derson, George NJ. Bidwell and r
G. Hanford were elected to the
Town Council, and Mrs. I. c.
Bjorge for the three-year term and
Charles Darwell for the one-year
term on the School Board To Mr.
Hanford went the honor of being
high man on the ticket.
Considerable interest centered in
the dog question which appeared on
the ballots. whether dogs should by
ordinance be prohibited from run
ming at large on the streets. The
controversy went back to a time
early in the year when a city Off
cial. having special police power,
killed a valuable dog asserting that
he had shot the creature in self
defense. The unpleasantness which
followed and the interest on both
sides of the question led to a de-
cision on the part of the City to put
the fate of dogs up to the voters of
the town.
When the votes were counted,
the result was so close as to leave
the question unsettled, and a pro-
test against accepting the count
was entered by dog owners at last
nights Council meeting with the
result that a recount was made to-
day and the vote found to be in ia
vor of dogs running at large

Anti japanese Article

Undoubtedly a number of Wran-
CELL residents are constant readers
of Liberty" one of Bernarr Me
Fadden's popular magazines and
1t is possible that those who are
have been given no little alarm by
a certain editorial which appeared
in one of its recent March 25) is
sues. l refer to the editorial which
declares thus:
There are said to be about one
hundred and forty thousand Japa-
nese in Hawaii, and every one of
them, male and female, is poten-
tial soldier. 1t is stated that they
have arms and ammunition safely
hidden. ready for the Great Event
war with this country.
And then there are approximate
ly ninety-eight thousand Japanese
in California. and it has been stated
that they, too. are fully prepared;
that they have arms and ammuni-
tions safely hidden away for use
whenever they are needed And
every Japanese citizen is said to
have definite orders as to just what
is to be done when war is about to
be declared. 1t has been reported
that they have been instructed to
poison their employers whenever
possible. and they have been told
just how to do it,"
Perhaps there are in Wrangell-
though I sincerely hope not-a few
whose imaginations have been set
to work by Mr.. McFadden's remark
able editorial. and who now look
askance at their Japanese neigh
bors, asking themselves, Can it be
possible ?" and adding, yet Ber-
narr McFadden says so :. :. and he
ought to know 1t is obvious,
however. that he does not know.
The authenticity of his editorial
may be estimated by the great num-
Der of such phrases as "There are
said to be- 1T is stated" st is re-
ported" etc. contained therein
If this editorial was meant ex-
clusively to serve as a bedtime story
for impressionable individuals, it
may perhaps be regarded as a rattle
effective piece of writing. But if, o.
the other hand, Mr.. McFadden wrote
1t in the belief that he was makine
important disclosures to the Amer
ican public, he will doubtless be
misinformed, for his disclosures"
are so unfounded and false. that the
whole thing can be considered as
nothing short of preposterous . a
mass of the worst sort of propa-
ganda.
1t is indeed to be regretted that
such malicious and erroneous ru-
mors should be at large about any
nation and her people. 1, as an Am
erican citizen, proud of the country
which gave me birth, am also fully
conscious of the greatness and
beauty of that nation whence came
my parents and their fellow coun-
trymen And l realize, as do thou
sands of other Americans of Japa-
nese origin, the Importance of mu-
tual understanding and goodwill
between the two great powers
whose shores are washed by the
mighty Pacific. From a cultural, as
we'll as economic, standpoint, | be-
lieye, in all sincerity, that each of
these two countries has much to
gain from the other; and that
hands extended across the ocean in
sympathy and friendliness will mean
for both more gains and greater
benefits derived.
