to the Republican National Conven-
ton. The delegates there are not
chosen In q presidential preferential
primary. Col. Knox is being put for
ward as the favorite son candidate of
Illinois, and the Republican State
Committee has asked him to be q
candidate.
Col. Knox has been publisher Of q
newspaper In New Hampshire, where
the first presidential primary is to be
held. His friends there are, it Is said,
sure to place him in the primary and
declare their confidence that he can
carry that primary. If he does, it
will be first blood for the Chicago
publisher.
Should Senator Borah choose to en-
ter the primaries in Illinois and Ohio,
there would be prospects Of a lively
fight. He would have against MIN in
Illinois. Col. Knox. In Ohio the
powers that be in the Republican Or
ganization have generally agreed to
put up a "favorite son" candidate,
either Representative Chester Bolton,
chairman of the Republican Congress
sional Campaign Committee, or
Robert Taft, son Of the late President
Taft. To enter the Ohio primary, a
candidate must give his definite as
sent.
1t Is argued that If Senator Borah
should 90 into the primaries in these
two pivotal States and win, nothing
could stop his nomination. But what
will be the decision Of the Idaho Sen
ator with regard to these primaries
will not be disclosed at this tj0e.
Much will depend upon the evest
Of the next few months.
Two-Day Conference.
The Borah announcement that he
would be entered in the Wisconsin
primary came after conferring over
period Of two days with two Re-
publ!cans from that State, State
Senator Philip E. Nelson and former
State Senator Bernhard Gettleman.
They announced that they would re-
turn Immediately to Wisconsin to
start the campoign for a Borah dele
CATION to the national convention
They said that they had come to
Washington to confer with Senator
Borah on their own volition, to
submit their proposal to him. At the
meeting Of the Republican National
Committee here on Monday, Mrs
Harry Thomas, national committee
woman for Wisconsin, expressed the
opinion that Wisconsin would send
an uninstructed delegation to the
convention.
A statement issued by Nelson and
Gettleman after their conference

said today, that an effort will be made
in Wisconsin to enter a conservative
slate Of delegates. either committed to
some other candidate than Senator
Borah or to run as uninstructed del
egates.
Party Lines Loose.
Under the Wisconsin primary law
it is possible for voters to take part
in presidential preferential primaries
irrespective of their previous party
afiliation. In other words, voters who
registered or voted as Progressives in
the last election may go into q Re-
publican or a Democratic primary.
The same is true of voters who in the
past have supported the Democratic
or Republican tickets. 1t has not
been expected that the La Toilette
Progressive party in Wisconsin will
put in the field candidate for PreSi-
dent next year. Under such circum-
stances the La Toilette ProgressiveS
would be at liberty to enter the Re-
publican presidential primary or the
Democratic, as they saw fit, next
April.
Whatever Senator Borah's purpose
in entering the Wisconsin primary or
other primaries should he run like
wild fire in these contests, it Is believed
that he would necessarily become an
active and perhaps dominating can
didate for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination. Indeed, may Of his
friends believe that should he win In
q considerable number Of these prt-
naries his nomination would be as
sured.
Eastern Support Material.
How would the East regard the can
didacy Of Senator Borah? While the
Old Guard Republicans in that sec
ton of the country are regarded as
hostile to the Senator's nomination
he has declared war on old guards

ton Fish Of New York has taken the
warpath for the Idaho Senator, de-
claring openly for his nomination.
Furthermore, Republican leaders feel
that If the national convention writes

money and Senator Borah consents to
stand on it, opposition in the East to

ALERT GAVE CHRISTMAS FEAST TO HUNGRY KETCHIKAN MEN

As has been the practice during the past few years at Christmas time, the mess room of the coast guard patrol vessel Alert was de- elared "open to all hungry eomers'' when Christmas dinner was served, according to the Chronicle. Thirty men were fed. In each case they were men who had no other source for holiday feast and in most cas- es they were men who gain their livelihood in seasonal fishing.
 The practice of giving out Christ mas dinners originated on the Alert several years ago when a new cook had prepared dinner for all hands only to find no one to eat it. Each member of the crew had accepted an invitation to have dinner with friends in the city. Men on board the ship were waiting for others to return in order that they might leave for dinners. The cook could get no one to eat his dinner and as l result appealed to the captain. The latter sympathized with the cook and sent an "enlisting' squad about the dock to recruit diners foe the waiting meal. They brorg'.
 back every hungry fisherman the could find and the day was saved.
 This year, however, there was no trouble finding the diners. During the past six weeks the mess room of the Alert has frequently fed men who have been missing meals. ]" Captain H. Hansen reports. The

DIMOND'S TRAP BILL WILL
 FORBID USE OF ARGE GEAR

WASHINGTON, DC. - Delegate Dimond has been quite we'll con- vinced that in the bill which he proposes to introduce for abolition of all salmon traps it will be nec- essary, in order to protect Alaska visions forbidding the use of large gear, for if the waters of Alaska were opened up indiscriminately to seine fishing with all types of boats and gear the Alaska fishermen would probably be crowded out by the very large boats and enormous gear brought in from the States.
 In order to find out the views of Alaska seiners on this question the delegate wired representatives of the Alaska Seiners' association, the Alaska Resident Fishermen s union, the Alaska Native Brother hood and a number of others re- questing their advice. Photographic replies to date show unanimity of opinion that the present limit of 50 feet in length of seine boats and 125 fathoms of gear should be main tained and be included in the bill
 Mrs. Mellick of Sand Point ad- vised the delegate that in the Shumagin island region the seiners wish the gear of a boat limited to 75 fathoms as was formerly pro vided by the regulation.

LOAN AND GRANT FUNDS NOW
 RELOCATED ALAS. TOWNS

With the allotment to the city of Fairbanks of a loan and grant of $50,000 by the PWA a few days ago, states a recent news letter from Delegate Dimond's office in Washington, all of the applications TOT loans and grants by the various aities of Alaska have been ap- proved by the PWA and the funds allocated except as to the city of Douglas in which the requisite plans and engineering and other details have not yet been furnished by the city. The amounts of the various loans and grants and of the cities receiving the same are as fol- lows
 kagway, $4O,0UO: Wrangen, S47000; Juneau, s100,0O0; Seward, S11S,O0O; Fairbanks, S50,OOO.
 In the case of Seward above list ed the application of the city of Seward was for s6O,0OO only, but the engineers of the PWA decided that the engineering plans sub mitted by the city were impractical and so they made entirely new plans calling for a loan and grant of $11S,000. This amount has not been set over to the city because congress at the last session failed to pass the necessary legislation au- thorizing the city to incur in debtedness.
 One other loan and grant appH- cation is on it's way, that of the city of Nome for $10O,O0O for the construction of public works made necessary by the recent fire in that city. It will be recalled that the situation at Nome was examined by Col. E. w. Clark of the PWA and his report has been made to Administrator Ickes.
