 Mayor Hayes issued a statement expressing his gratitude to the peo- pie of Juneau for the splendid re- sponse in yesterdays election, at the same time, renewing his pledge to do his utmost in spite of war con- ditions, to make the capital city of Alaska bigger and better place in which to live.
 T am sure, said Hayes, that the people who have expressed their desire to place me at the head of their city government during this important period will not be disap- pointed. I pledged myself before election to push what I considered was truly constructive program that will be done.
 T can say right here and now that it is not going to be easy to step into the shoes of the retiring Mayor-my good friend Harry Lu- cas. But I assure him, and the other retiring city officers, that the good things which they have de- veioped during their administra- ton will not be lost or abandoned
 The people of Juneau have every right to be proud of the splendid fulfillment of their civil duty in casting very good vote.
 T congratulate also those who were defeated in the election. It was good fight and fair fight Tn the traditional American way"
 In private life, Hayes is general manager and vice-president of the Alaska Dock and Storage Company.
 His wife. the former Irene Nelson. IS Juneau girl, born and raised here.
 Hayes said that from now on and as long as he holds the mayors cnair he will devote practically ali oi his time toward fulfilling the re- quirements of that office.

 BANK BALANCE
 FOR TERRITORY
Treasury Funds Pass Two Million Dollar Mark
 for First Time

For the first time in the history of the Territorial Treasurer's office, the Territory's bank balance has passed the two million dollar mark, Territorial Treasurer Oscar G. Ol- son reported today.
 Figures released by his office re- veal that there is now in the Trea- sury the sum of $2,032, ,382. .22. An indication of the growth in revenue during the past 10 years is found in the following figures. the balance as of March 3l for 10 years:
 In 1885 $l, ,078.257; 1936-$l, ,077,- 6s3; $l,4l7,l6O; l938-$l,446.- 88l; 1939-$ -$l,771,744; 1940-$l,643,- 784; 1941-$1 ,541 .l8o: 1942-$l, ,556,- O72; I943- sl, ,752.233; and 1914 $2, ,O32. .3S2.
 Treasurer Olson said that the sum of $5O0,000 was received from the regular tax on salmon during l943, and the special tax of five cents per case of 48 cans imposed by the last legislature brought in an additional $225,000 making a to- tai of SIPS ,O0O from the fishing and canning industry Next in impor- tance in the tax revenue picture was sale of liquor tax stamps. from which was derived close to a half million dollars
 The healthy condition of the Territorial Treasury will be reas- suring to Alaskans," Treasurer Ol- son said. especially since the opin- ion was freely expressed during last term sessions of the Legislature that Alaska was confronted with the serious problem of the possi- bility that revenue would be made quate to meet even necessary ex- penditures.'

 with } Votes
(By Associated Press)

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey swept ahead toward a possible IS of Wis consin's 24 Republican National Convention delegates, according to returns in yesterdays presidential primary.
 Willkie ran last in field of four, with indications he will not get a delegate.
 It. Comdr. Harold E. Stassen, for mer Governor of Minnesota, is tied on a basis of incomplete but repre- sentative returns with Gen. Doug las Macarthur. with 20,306 of the States 30,076 precincts tabulated.
 Here is the way the Republican presidential prospects stood in the number of victorious or apparently victorious delegates for the candi- dates: Dewey, IS pledged outright, three claimed; Macarthur. three; Stasssen, three; Willkie, none.
 This indicates conclusiyely not only that Dewey will be drafted, but that he already is drafted said Secretary of State Zimmerman, leader of the delegate candidates who ran for Dewey despite his disavowal ts Af s~sae~
 In New York Dewey withheld comment, and Willkie likewise.
 The Roosevelt pledged delegates apparently won the Democratic places in Wisconsin. The delegates, though pledged. are not legally bound to vote for their man at the convention even on the first ballot
 Willkie's poor showing is big sur prise He campaigned the State for 13 days, speaking in 25 cities in a drive to erase opposition. He made the issue clear, declaring the result of liberal Wisconsin might point the convention course.
 Senator Fellenz, Chairman of the Wisconsin Willkie for President Committee, said that Willkie had powerful Stop Willkie" forces work ing against him for a long time, and this, he added, backed by cam paign of vicious misstatements and false charges" Willkie was unable to overcome.
