ELECTION NOVEMBER 7
So that the voters of this
section can become familiar
with the candidates at the gen
eral election, November 7th., we
are publishing the tickets on
page 2,
Dan Sutherland for delegate,
will undoubtely come romping
home.
The choice for Senator lies be
tween Thos. Wade of Anchorage
and Anthony J. Dimond of Val
dez- This section will go strong
for Toney but Wade has a fol
lowing to the westward that
will be hard to overcome.
For Representatives there are
six candidates, only four to be
elected. The Republican party
has a strong ticket in the field
but Tom Price, on the democrat
ic ticket, isgoing to give his op
ponents a run for their money,;
in fact it is a foregone con-j
elusion that he will be elected. E
E. Ray, of Cordova, is also a fac
in the race which is not overlook
ed by the Republican party.
The Division, however, will be
well represented at Juneau
next Spring as all the candi
dates are thoroughly familiar
with the conditions and the
needs of the territory.
At this election the women of
the territory will take a very ac
tive part, it depending on their
vote alone, whether they will
serve as Jururs at $5,00 per
diem. We do not think this a
mendment will pass as it is a
certainty that the average Alas,
kan woman would prefer to re
main at home, looking after her
children, than to be summoned
to court to act as Juror in SQme
disreputable case which under
the Bone- Dry- Law frequently
occurs.
