For many months now the
Democrats have been suffering
pangs of fear over the outcome
of this years elections. Since
November 1888 it has been clear
to most Of them that the land
was firing Of their recklessness,
radicalism and, their blatant di
regard of ethical standards re-
cognized by several generations
as essential to good government.
On top of this came the most
strange behavior of Mr.. Roose-
welt regarding the proposal he
seek a third term. His silence
on this questions has paralyzed
his party, making it impossible
for any other DemOcratis' aspir-
ant for the Presidency to make
any progress in furthering his
candidacy. Moreover, Mr.. Roose-
velt's silece has left every Demo
cratic leader on a hot spot.
The plight of the Democrats,
however, became more sharply
accumulated when the Republ-
cans won overwhelming victor
les in two Ohio special Congress-
ional elections. In each case there
was shift of seven per cent Of
the vote cast to the Republican
candidate compared with the
1888 balloting. In one instance
the Republicans captured a Con-
gressional district won in 1888
by q Dempcrat. The outcome OF
the special congressional election
in Iowa confirmed the Republi-
can tide that is running. ?
What is more disheartening
to the Democrats was the fact
that following the special Ohio
elections, Senator Vic. Donahey,
Ohio Democrat announced he
would not seek reelection. Sen.

sTCnY OF BAD BOY" tlpENS THIS EvEFIkG
 ON COLISEUM SCREEN

For thrills, heart tugs, laughs, and some tuneful music. Bad Boy is your show. This Gateway picture, showing for the first time locally at the Coliseum Theatre to- night, is truly unusual entertain ment, and you are sure to enjoy the many moods that bring the story to its gripping climax.
 The role of John Fraser, young engineer and architect, is strange ly different part for Johnny Downs. but it gives him perhaps the best acting opportunity he has had since ha first made you laugh at him in Our Gang comedies. The story. moving along at fast pace, takes Johnny from his small-town home tc the big city where he readily finds employment with an archi- tect. IT2 makes rapid progress in his job until he is induced by q fellow employee to try his luck on the ponies.
 Johnny's luck is not with him, and he winds up in jail. Embit- teed, he returns to freedom with a grudge against the world, and his venom leads him into shady business dealings. It is not long before Johnny is enjoying the prof it's and taking the risks of a big time racketeer; and, of course, it is not long before he comes to the inevitable end of all such "busi- ness men"

Harbor Sees Unusual Tides In Calm Weather

One of the highest tides of the year today changed the face of Juneau's small boat harbor and made pedestrians walking the gang plank to the floats duck their heads below the cross beams.
 Shortly after o'clock this after noon, the tide passed the twenty foot mark and lifted to within a few inches of the top of local wharves, while gangways to floats were level for the first time in months.
 Tomorrow the tide will hit 20.4, q tenth higher than today. and from there on, tides will recede again.
 Boatmen were thankful no wind has come with the giant tides of the season, well remembering times in the past when waterfront prop erty has been severely damaged with high winds and tides in combina- tiOn.
