td Matthew Bruce, t he republican
nominee for lieuteuant gov
ernor. This is claimed to be, from a
party standpoint, defeat for the re
publicans, Only *the''dieaflfection of
straight out democrats over the nom
ination "of Hearst, saved the day for
Hughes, the head of the ticket
The democrats liave also saved some
thing out of the wreck out west, having
elected several governors.

SKAOWAV CITY COUNCIL
CLOSES GAMBLING
| Games Shut Off by Municipal G-ovornment
For First Time in History? Since Berth
Has Been ''Wide Open'' Town
Before this issue of the Daily Alas
| kac shall have reached its readers
Skagway will be a "closed town."
The proprietor* of gaming houses were
notified at noon today by Chief Moore
at the direction of Chairman H. B.
Dunn, of the council committee on
I
i health and police, that gambling must
cease in Skagway at -I o'clock today.
The action was the result of a decision
arrived at by the members of the city
[ council who have been in consultation
over the matter. The order will be
complied with.
This is the first time gambling has
been completely shut down in Skagway
I since the beginning of the town more
than nine years ago. ? During all the
years since its birth Skagwny has been
"wide open." however, it has never
been, since the days of "Soapy" Smith,
a disorderly town. There have been
very few crooked games here and those
that were here were "frozen out"
| many years ago. The houses that were
| known to conduct their games on the
square got the patronage and the others
I quit.
The sentiment in favor of closing
gambling has been growing for some
time among Skagway business men,
and .vhen agitation for a suspension
of it began in other places it was de
I cided by the council to stop it at once.
Who Starts the Fire?
