Democrats Upset
 Over Elections: Girl
 Secretaries Want Rights

horses in midstream.
 The election of Republican Lieu tenant Governor Hanley in New York is considered here to be more important in the presidential pie ture in that it leaves the door wide open for Thomas Dewey to be draft ed candidate.
 Had Haskell been elected, Dewey would have been honor-bound to serve out his term in the Empire state rather than turning it over to the Democrats. In spite of Dewey s declaration after the election that "I am not now and shall not be a candidate for the Republican nom nation" political circles here still think that he would accept if he were called in a strong draft.
 Your Capitol in Wartime
 Hope Ridings Miller, society ed itor and commentator for the Wash ington Post, has got herself a cause and it's a honey.
 Hope is carrying the torch for those women secretaries of the Sen ators who are barred from the Sen ate floor This is an ancient custom not rule. The rule says nothing a. bout sex. It merely states that clerks to committees and clerks to Senators, in discharge of their dut- ies. may walk the Senate floor.
 By custom, however, custom dating back to the days when wo- mems suffrage was considered an insufferable subject women are barred from the Senate floor. Al though the custom has been broken down to allow the petticoat Senator's to take their seats, it has never been relaxed for female secretaries.
 The male secretaries batter in and out without a challenge. The ladies cool their heels at the cloakroom entrances, while Senate staff mes sengers try to find their bosses and persuade them to leave the floor.
 The ladies, Hope says, are pretty indignant about the whole thing and are planning a march on the Senate floor if something isn't done about it soon. They figure that if it ever comes to a showdown, Charles L. Watkins, parliamentar- ian, and Vice President Wallace, or whoever else happens to be presid- ing will have to rule with them. As matter of fact Watkins already has tipped them off in private that that would be the only possible rul- ing.
 A check of the Senate discloses -24- or exactly one-fourth of the Senateors-haye No. l secretaries on the distaff side.

WASHINGTON - Despite brave comments to the contrary, Demo cratic political circles here were shocked at results of the Off-year elections
 The most stunning blow, of course, was the loss of the govern orship in Kentucky. The election of Simeon s. Willis marked the fifth time in history and the first time since the elections of 1927, when Republicans were riding the crest of prosperity and Coolidge, that this important border state has re- pudiated the Democratic party.
 However, there were other im- portant results: the huge majority Republican Joe R. Hanley piled up over William N Haskell, who was backed both by the Democrats and the American Labor party for the New Tory lieutenant gOvernorship; the failure of the once powerful Democratic Hague machine to stem the Republican tide in New Jersey; the plurality of more than 63,000 for Republican Mayor Bernard Sam ueI over William c. Bullitt in Philadelphia, where the COP won only by a nostril in the 1922 elec- tions.
 What does it all mean? l have talked to a dozen political observers here and the answer is almost in- varibly: Nothing that hasn't been known all along"
 Republican House Expected
 What they intend to convey is that the Republican trend that started somewhere after the 1886 elections is still under way; that it Is almost certain to result in the election of a Republican House of Representatives next year and fur ther inroads into the Democratic majority in the Senate; but that it means little in the presidential race in 1914 if the Democratic nominee is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 AS a matter of fact there are a good many Republicans here who privately agree with Leon Hender- sons observation: President Roose- welt will be reelected (they make the reservation, however, that only if the war is still on} but that he will have a Republican Congress (Re- publican in the House and anti-ad- ministration in the Senate through the coalition of Republicans and anti-New Deal Senators.)
 Holding out against this view are those Republicans, principally lined up behind Wendell L. Willkie, who insist that if the war is still on, there will be all the more req son to name a Republican. Their slogan, in that event, will be: The only way to get across Is to change

City Gets Road Right-of-Way

An agreement was signed this week between the Woman's American Baptist Mission Home, Rev John s. Winter, a gent, and the City of Kodiak, allowing the city to construct g road around the small lake at the end of Mission road, across Mission property, to reach a gar bage disposal spot on the bay.
 For $1 legal consideration the city was given the right to con- struct the road for the sole use of city owned vehicles and li- cen ed transfers engaged in haul ing garbage. Under the terms the road cannot at any time be used by the public, and to restrict the passage of the public the city a. greed to build gate, with pad lock, at the south terminus of the road.
 Work will be started immedi- ately on the road, for which $4000 had been approved by the city council previously.
 City officials also announced that any dumping of garbage a. long either Mill Bay road or Mission road or any other public street or road is against the law and any violators will be prose cuted fully.

City Acts On Water

The city council, at g special meeting Thursday afternoon. sp- propriated $500 for immediate installation of a drip-method chlorination process in the city's water supply. Request for the action came from Army officials, who said military personnel would be excluded from town un- less such action were taken.
 An Army sanitary official said the laboratory tests over a per iod of time had been checked andre-checked and that the wat CT was dangerous for human con- sumption because it was "con- taminated from fecal matter"
 With the water in such con- dition, it was pointed out, the potential danger was great be- cause disease in epidemic pro- portion could originate from such a source if disease germs were present ID the feces While the water has been used without serious effect the inherent dan ger of It's continued usage is so great that the chlorination was insisted upon.
