A FEW POLITICAL 6
SIDE-LIGHTS

Straw Ballots
A letter of inquiry has been
received at the office of the Dele
gate from an “Old Republican”
of the Third Division of Alaska.
He is somewhat anxious about
| the result of the Presidential
poll in the Hearst newspapers
and wants to know whether it is
, really legitimate or only “ho -
kum.” He also says that he hears
many extravagant claims about
how the Democrats arc going to
| sweep the Territory with their
“strong” ticket, but he doesn’t
pay much attention to that
‘bologna”—the kind that he has
heard every two years for twen
ty years pa3t. In order that the
interested inquirer and others
may get a slant on the Eastern
view point of Presidential pos
sibilities our regular news letter
j is this week supplanted by some
political pick-ups.

“Happy Warrior”
Under the heading: “Smith
Spurns Reconciliation with Gov
ernor,” Hearst’s Washington
Herald, on August 29, started a
news item thusly: “Politely but
firmly A1 Smith spurned a re
conciliation meeting with Gov
; ernor Roosevelt today which was
thoughtfully arranged by some
of the big chiefs of Tammany
Hall. His absence put a damper
on the party and left the im
pression that the once “happy
warrior” is still unwilling to bury
the hatchet.

. Betting Odds
On August 31, the Hears! news
rapers carried the following
statement under a New York
headline: “President Hoover’s
chances for re-election are
steadily increasing according to
odd's being offered today by W.
H. Tuohey and Company, of 50
| Broadway, Wall Street betting
: Commissioners. The firm today
• placed a wager of $6,000 to $4,000
at the odds of three to two that
the nation’s present Chief Exe
cutive will be re-eleoted.
* * *
Star Note
The independent Washington
Evening Star had an editorial
the other day which contained
the following expression: “Hav
ing publicly characterized Roose
velt as a demagogue and pledged
himself to fight him, Smith has
r ot done violence to his con
science by receding from that
position.”
* * *
Pick Your States
E. E Hurja, who, some years
ago, did newspaper work in
Alaska, but who is now employ
ed by the Democratic National
Committee, sends some cheering
news to the Juneau Daily Em
pire. Referring to the political
poll in the Hearst newspapers he
says “I am prepared to say that
k is a fair, just and equitable
poll. * * Roosevelt will carry
all but four or five States. I mad.^
a wager to-day that Hoover
wouldn't carry ten states. If I
could get better odds I would
bet that he wouldn’t carry five.”
The value of this prediction, the
kind that is so familiar to all
Alaskans, can be found in the
Hearst Presidential Poll that ap
pears in the papers of Septenv
ber 2. Hoover is given the lead
in nine states, as follows: New
York, Ohio, Massachusetts, Kan
sas, Connecticut, Maine, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and
Vermont. Possibly Hurja will bet
his ether $5 on Hoover and thus
come out even.
* # *
Hoover’s California
The Hearst poll places Cali
fornia’s 22 electorial votes
strongly in the Roosevelt col
umn, with 7,239 votes for Roose
velt and 3,115 for Hoover. And
yet in the recent California pri
mary the Republicans polled
855,000 votes and the Democrats
over 500,000. And the Democratic
leaders realize that there is not
the slightest hope of Roosevelt
carrying California, any more
than there is of his carrying
Pennsylvania and other rock
ribbed States that are credited to
: Roosevelt.

“As Maine Goes”
G. Gould Lincoln, a noted
I political writer, says that “The
i Democrats in Maine are all pep
I1 ped up. But pep or no pep, it is
scarcely likely that they can
carry Maine.” As the Maine
election will be over on Septem
ber 12, the readers of this item
already know how the pep fizzl
!! ed out.
EDITOR’S NOTE—The Demo
crats did take Maine since the
above was written.

Side Steppers
As the sentiment thruout the
country in both political parties
j demands a change in the eight
f eenth amendment, it is not like
5|ly that the prohibition questior
\ will largely enter into the Presi
5 dential fight. It is a matter tha
more strictly concerns congress,
as some of the members are slow
to understand. Reference is
made to Representative Ruth
Bryan Owen, of Florida, Senat
or Samuel M. Shotridge, of Cali
fornia, and other side-steppers
who didn’t see the trend of
thought in time to get on the
band wagon, in recent primaries.
* * *
Campaign Costs
Republican campaign chiefs
announce that they expect the
cost of their Presidential drive
will cost from $1,250,000 to $1,
500,000. The latter figure is the
sum the Democratic National
| Committee expect to raise and
; expend.
* ••{: *
For Alaska Eallyhooers
The Democratic ballyhoo lead
er? and claimants in Alaska, who
boast of carrying the Third Div
j is ion “by at least 700 majority '
|for their candidate for Delegate
i to Congress are as yet not quite
ias confident and extravagant in
; their claims as they were in 1921,
when Frank Boyle was defeated
| in ail four divisions, and in 1929
when the combined Democratic
and Independent candidate Tom
Marquam was defeated in all
four divisions. In fact, the Demo
crats haven't elected a Delegate
to Congress in Alaska for the
past quarter of a century. But
their full ticket is always elect
ed until after the polls close and
the start is made to count the
ballots. Then an occasional
candidate will slip through.

Walker Re-election
New York, Sept. 2.—James J.
Walker, who resigned as mayor
of New York late Thursday, was
a 3-to-l favorite in Wall Street
betting odds today for re-elec
tion if he runs to vindicate him
self in November. C. Woodruff
Valentine actually placed a wag
er of $0,000 to $2,000 that way
and has $9,000 additional to lay
against $3,000. Mayor Walker’s
resignation caused a rise in odds
against Gov. Roosevelt’s chances
oi carrying New York State in
ihe presidential election. A be!
of $5,000 was made today at odds
■ of 2 to 1 that President Hoover
would carry the Empire Slate.
What Entitles Support
Ever since the Democratic
National convention the Repub
lican leaders have had good
leason to feel strengthened in
the belief that President Hoover
is to be re-elected. These rea
sons have gradually multiplied, |
as the Democratic assurance in |
their cause quietly but persist- ■
ently gave way to a general feel
ing of gloom and uncertainty.
There is no claim by Republican
managers that the experience of
four years ago is to be repeated,
when the religious issue caused
four usually solid Democratic
'southern states to desert to
| Hoover. These states are agai i
'safely placed in the Democratic
j column as well as a number of
I other states. As a consequence
[there can be no such result as.
• 87 votes for Smith and 444 for
for Hoover, with a popular mai -
!ority of over six million. A maj
jcrity of 357 was unprecedented.
But suppose it should drop to
200, 100 or even 50 majority m
the electoral college, with a!
popular majority of two or throe
million—President Wilson was
re-elected by a majority of 23
electoral votes. Any kind of an j
election in these troublous and
hectic days, when the entire
world is topsy turvy and don't j
know what it is'all about, would j
be highly satisfactorily. As As
sistant Secretary of the Navy
Jahncke says, “President Hoover
has preserved the United States
from political and economic
perils, social disorders and un
controlled deflation which is
without equal in the annals of
! any country,” which entitles
, him to the support and votes of
the American people.
Before and After Election
The Democratic bosses of
Alaska ought not to be too sev
erely censured for their attempt
ed misleading of the voters of
the north Many of the big guns
have actually buffaloed them
selves into visioning another
Democratic National administra
tion and they naturally want
the Territorial and Legislative
offices filled with the men whom
they can dictate to and control.
Then in Federal offices whom do
v/e see groping for mantels of
honor and emolument? There is
‘Governor” Troy, of Juneau;
“Governor” Bunnel of Fairbanks;
“Governor” Walker, of Ketchi
kan; “Collector of Customs”
Connors, of Juneau; “Collector”
K^ss, of Fairbanks; “Secretary
of the Territory” Shattuck, of
Juneau; “Secretary” Gaffney, of
jNome; “Judge” Boyle, "Judge”
jHeilenthal, of Juneau; “Judge”
Kehoe, of Ketchikan; “Judge”
Bmiond, of Valdez; “Judge”
| Morton, “Judge” Truitt, of An
chorage; “Judge” Pratt, of Fair
jbanks; “Judge” O’Neill, of Nome;
|etc:, down through an inexhaust
| ible list of aspirants for Dis
trict Attorney, U S. Marshall,
! Clerk of the Court, deputies of
[all kinds, officials of Forest Ser
vice, Bureau of Public Roads,
Board of Road Commissioners,
Public Health Service, Weather
Bureau, Alaska Game Commis
sion, Lighthouse Service, Steam
