Election May Be
Decided By The
Political Bosses

and inscrutable. Very often a
political boss “rises above party”
and puts local considerations
'above the interests of the nation
al ticket. He just conveniently
forgets to “put on the heat.”
Tammany really turned out the
: vote for Roosevelt in 1932, but
failed to do so for Al Smith, one
of its own, in 1928. Now Tam
many is having internal troubles;
will it be too much of a strain on
those troubles to apply the pres
j sure for Roosevelt in 1936 Un
til recently, at least, the official
word to roll up the vote had not
gone down the line from the
I wigwam.
Mayor Kelly in Chicago had a
serious falling out some weeks
ago with Democratic Governor
Horner; later a reconciliation was
announced, but it can only be con
jectured what scars remain. Tom
Pendergast has a party split on
his hands, with himself the issue
in the local Missouri election.
All of which helps to explain
why, in Democratic headquarters
on election night, the paramount
question may be: “Have they de
livered?

of such traps in the woods, how
ever, and is making a dilligent
effort through education and dem
onstration of the danger of this
use, to induce the owners of
bear traps to turn them over to
the game wardens for destruction.
The traps recently received
were all voluntarily turned over
to a game warden by natives and
local resident of Haines and Kluk
wan, while the warden was mak
ing a routine patrol through that
district. Some of them were plac
ed on exhibition in the windows
of the Juneau-Young Hardware
Store.
The warden making the patrol
through the Haines district re
ported game to be fairly plentiful
and little indication of serious
violations.
Rex Beach Made
| Trip Alaska In
vestigate Mineral
Heroines, plots and settings are
for the moment yielding their
place of priority to a tough, gray
! ish, fibrous mineral called moun-.
Main leather, as Rex Beach, one
I of Alaska’s favorite author .turns
I his interest upon a new, rare,
! unexploited Alaskan mineral.
| Arriving in Juneau, recently,
■Beach took a few minutes off be
fore unpacking, and chatted in
the Gastineau Hotel, according to
■ i a late issue of the Juneau Alaska
' I Press.
■ | “Mountain leather is something
no one seems to be able to cata
logue,” he explained, in reference
to the real purpose of his trip
here. “We have had samples of
' it tested in the States which in- i
dicate that it is heat-resistant &
i
■ | might well be used commercially
for insulation and fire-proofing.”
The mineral, it is reported, was
i
discovered by Joe Ibaeh on Lem
iseur Island in Icy Straits.
Alaskan sourdough and veter
1 an miner, Ibaeh told Beach of the
discovery, and urged that tests
of the mineral be made. Follow
i ing the success of the tests, and '
the widespread interest shown by
various authorities in minerology
and mining. Beach offered an op
; tion to an American concern, re
presentatives of which will arrive
here shortly.
“The importance of the deposit
will depend upon its extent,” Mr.
Beaah stated. “If it is large, it
may mean the opening of a new
Alaskan industry.”
Beach plans to be in Juneau a
few days before leaving for Icy
Straits, where he will confer with
Ibach upon mining procedure.
His interest centered on, but in 1
no way confined to, investigation
of mountain leather, Beach is also
carrying in his vaLise the draft of
a short story, and in mind, the
outline of a new novel. His trip
here is a brief pause in a journey
from New York to Los Angeles,
where he is to leave for soon, to
work on motion picture produc
tion of several of his stories. “The
Barrier” and “The Ne’er-Do-Well
are two novels soon to be shown
on the screen.
In addition to his fiction, screen
and mining interests, Rex Beach |
is now also working on his noted j
series of artioles, “Modern Mir
acle Men,” now appearing in cur
rent American magazines.
