ADMINISTER ATION IS ENDORSED.

The voters of Juneau, in unprecedent ed number, yesterday gave their endorsement to Mayor I. Gold stein and the City Council which has conducted the business of the community for the past year. It a decisive endorsement. The Mayor and his entire ticket reelected for another term They carried each of the three precincts by handsome maorities which can leave doubt in the minds of anyone that a majority of the people of Juneau satisfied with the conduct of local government during the past 12 months and desire that it be continued along the same general lines during the next year.
 With their votes they said that Mayor Goldstein and Councilmen Ralph Beistlne, Wallis s. George and Henry Messerschmdt have earned another term. The program which the Mayor and his associates the Economy Ticket, as detailed in the several advertisements issued by them during the campaign, was likewise endorsed by the voters. The Admin istration has been given mandate to go ahead It should have hesitation in carrying it out.
 The record made by the Goldsten Administra- ton during the past year is excellent one. That it's excellence is greatly recognized is attested to by the vote in each precinct And it is no discredit to the Progressive Ticket that it not able to wrest victory under the circumstances. MT Judson and his running mates boiled vote that few years ago would have insured them of election It is testimonial to their personal strength their popularity and their standing in the community The Empire said before the election what ticket should be seeced the goyernment of the city would be in good hands. The Judson ticket lost And the government remains in hands just good and equally as strong.
 John E. Green Independent candidate for Coun- clman, demonstrated unusual strength by polling 453 votes. Practically all of the spoiled ballots resulted from voters marking for the other straight tickets then putting a cross before his name Of course, where four Councimen were
 x1~f oo taI MT. Green lost a number of votes in that manner but had he received them all he still would nave lacked many of having enough to win.
 The bond issue which was outspokenly advocated by the Economy Ticket, carried. Its majority was large enough to prove that the community IS over whelmingly in favor of going ahead with the CIVIC improvements advocated by Mayor Goldstein and his Council As soon Congress passes the measure introduced by Delegate Dimond, the City should make every effort to get the funds from the Federa Government and launch it's betterment program
 The voters likewise gave the Administration g free hand in its dealings with the water company If in it's judgment, that company does not make every provision, within reasonable time to comply with the terms of its franchise the Council has a mandate to use it's own judgment in what steps it shall take to bring about full compliance
 On the whole, the election was a sweeping endorsement of every position taken by Mayor GoldSteln ana lhe Slty Souli0i. Ahey eoot" --'' asked for no finer tribute. It was, however, no more than deserved
 Although he was unopposed for School Director Grover C. Winn, who has served IT years in tha capacity received the handsome vote of 724 Thi is distinct tribute to him for the unsefish servlc he has rendered to the community on the Schoo Board for so many years
 The vote boiled, 1465 is the largest ever polle' in any municipal election It is the largest of an election except the general election of 1882, and oi that occasion it augmented by the fact that l was also national election year which always draws out voters who ordinarily do not go to th polls Juneau has a right to feel proud Of 1t registration and the vote it cast this year.
