It also is true that Alaska has had concessions in the past and probably will get them this time if the situation reaches that point.
 It will be recalled that during the longshore strike of few years ago, special dspensation was ven by both the shipping companies and long shoremen for loading Alaska bound vessels in Ia coma harbor and as result residents of the Terri tory got supplies as usual despite nconvenience. l. is safe to predict that Alaska will not be cut off this time no matter what the outcome the coast.
 Alaska merchants have used foresight and stocked ID well in advance of the anticipated trouble that every ship was stopped supplies would be available 1r a long period. But matter what the outcome in the south be it of short long duration, can feel fairly secure in the knowledge that supplies have come to Alaska in time of emergency before and they will continue to come again, even, as has been reported it becomes necessary for the government t1 intervene"

Election By The House
Cincinnati Enquirer

For the first time since 1924 when the late Sena- tor Robert M La Toilette was running as an inde- pendent there is serious talk of deadlock in the electoral college and the projection of the presden- tia election into the House representatives The possibility of this unusual development still is no. great the chief proponent of the idea being Mir Wl- liam Lemke MT. Lemke is a candidate for Presi- dent, it will be recalled.
 For the House to choose President, it is nec- essary that electoral vote fail to show majority for anyone This has nothing to do with the popular vote number of Presidents have been elected with out majority of popular votes. The only way It could happen would be through tie vote in the ees- toal college which is theoretically possible, but most improbable through third party candidate get ting enough electoral votes to prevent majority for either major candidate
 MT Lemke undoubtedly is counting on his popu- larity in few agrarian states to turn the trick But he is counting his chickens long before they are matched There is evidence from the straw votes or other sources that MT Lemke will win any state, even his own North Dakota with its four electoral votes The chance of those four votes, if MT. Lemke were to get them, preventing majority in the cleo tion were tossed into the lap of the House, the result could only be the reelection of MT Roosevelt on the first ballot
 MT Lemke and his trainer, Father Coughlin, are going lot of trouble and they entitled to some lcompensaton in the form of happy dreams about their joint leadership at the White House But they should not expect the rest of to take seriously then lhallucinations of grandeur

DEER WALK DOWN
 STREET IN CORDOVA

Twenty three deer were taken in the special 10-day hunting season at Cordova, according to G a m e Warden Douglas Gray, who has just returned from handling the special season, the largest one weighing 2051a pounds dressed. It was an especially successful season, the officer said, and twice as many deer were taken as year ago, the first open season.
 Indications are that the animals are multiplying rapidly and the residents of Cordova are co-operat- ing to the fullest in promoting the project, he reported. Revealing how tame the deer are, the day after the special season closed buck and doe walked down the main street in Cordova not a bit alarm ed, Gray said.

British Member of Parlia- ment Steers Clear of
 Political Talk

NEW YORK, Oct. 10. - Lady Nancy Astor, Virginia-bo first woman member of Britain's Parlia- ment, described President Roosevelt and Governor Ali M Landon as indecent fellows" and steered clear of expressing any political prefer ence between them.
 The great thing about Anglo Saxon countries, she observed, was that political enemies can still meet and be courteous to each other"
 The former Nancy Langhorne ar irving for her first visit here in four years, explained she likes to arrive in Presidential election years "because so much is going on that nobody notices you and you don't have to make speeches"
 "One of the things I admire about American statesmen when they visit England is that they give no opinion on English politics So I don't think I ought to give any opinion on American politics, she added.
 She expressed interest, however in the wonderful way MT. Roose- welt has been trying to put through social reforms"
 Most people in England think MT. Roosevelt will be reelected Lady Astor said, adding, they don't know much about MT. Lan- don.

SUPPLIES TO ALASKA

Being dependent solely on reports from great distance and of those reports being undoubtedly colored depending which side they happen to come from it is impossible to hazard guess as to the outcome of the maritime dispute Edward F Mc- Grady Assistant Secretary of Labor, is again his way to the coast from Washington in effort to avert tie-up next Thursday when the 15-day truce expires The Labor Department has declared it would do everything possible to that Alaska is protected and report is current that it has pledged itself to that service maintained to the Terri tory in event of tie-up even if the government has to intervene
 As the Fairbanks News-Miner says, Alaska de- serves protection" That newspaper discussing the waterfront trouble paints interesting word picture of the condition it would effect not only the Interior but all of Alaska. It says:
 The threatened strike or lockout in Pa cifc ports may see every ship serving Alaska tied up. Such action would mean cracking down on Alaska in way to suspend her mail, .s freight and passenger services. The matter is the most discussed of rent Alaskan themes Everyone in Alaska is avitaly concerned.
 r Governor Troy Delegate Dimond and others reported taking action to appeal to the government for emergency service by the government aimed to exempt Alaska from utter isolation.
 The of Alaska ocser-cs special consid- eraton. Detached from the States her chief source of supply, Alaska is not in the same category as the States. Communities there have their land highways railroad and motor car lines to maintain emergency services and bring in supplies to various communities when marine services are suspended Not so Alaska. Suspend the ships and Alaska faces siege. Foods and other essential supplies will coming and mails will be eliminated.
 Not only may Alaska expect to receive some measure of protection by government emer- gency service in such dilemma but she may reasonably expect the federal powers to con- sider seriously the long mooted proposal to connect Alaska with the States with an inter national highway through airplane service between Alaska and the States speeding up of Alaskan farm development programS-to help this territory achieve independence as to her food supplies in time of peace war.
 Alaska deserves protection on these lines and she deserves special consideration from those in authority in the States and support in the States from every community and or ganization, employer and employee in the States all of whom are beneficiaries and thrive by virtue of Ahska's prosperity and patronage. It is true that Alaska's patronage and prosperity Is benefit to the States and result reciprocity in time of emergency should rghtfully be expected

cate, through his response to your double, that he holds about two honor tricks and a reasonably good fit for your hand, you may con- slider the possibility of a game con- tract.
 Since your double of the op- ponent's original bid forces your partner to make some response, ex- cept in certain situations when the double is overcalled, one of the most important requisites of sound takeout double is that the doubler must be well prepared for any re- sponse that his partner may make.
 In other words, you generally should not double an adverse bid if you are not well prepared for your partners response in any other suit. Likewise, the double of an ad- verse opening bid in 8 major suit should promise strong support for the other major.
 Nor should you double with a two-suit hand, for you are not pre- pared for your partners response in the third suit.
 Generally, a takeout double of one in a suit promises at least three honor tricks, and at least four honor tricks when the double is made over the opponents opening bid of one no trump.
 Now let us consider to-day's hands.
