For Delegate to Congress—JAMES WICKERSHAM.
LOCAL POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Mr. Chas. E. Herron, publisher of The Times, sized up the
political situation in the Cook inlet country about right, when
he said, in an interview in a Juneau newspaper, that Delegate
Wickersham would get at least seventy-five per cent, of the to
tal vote cast in this neck of thfe'.'woods. The delegate, in previ
ous elections, has always carried the Cook inlet country by
large majorities. The population has largely increased here
since last election, but evidence is not wanting to justify the
prediction that the count will show that Mr. Wickersham’s
vote has increased in proportion to the increase in the number
of inhabitants. That the delegate will sweep this section is
not a matter of doubt at all. The only question is, how large a
majority can we give him?
The Times is of the opinion that George B. Grigsby, the
democratic candidate for attorney-general of the territory, will
come out of the Cook inlet country with a good lead to his cred
it. We base this prediction on the belief that his opponents ex
hibit no strength in this community. On the other hand, Grigs
by is personally well known here and undoubtedly made many
votes as a result of his visit. Tie has a pleasing personality that
gains him friends wherever he goes. As for the nominee of the
Seward convention, it is our candid opinion that he will be
third in the race in the Cook inlet country. We don’t like the
Shackleford brand of politicians in this community. Cobb, the
independent candidate, will get some votes here and if lie had
the backing of a regular party organization, might make a pret
ty good showing in the territory. But reliable reports from his
home division are to the effect that he cannot possibly carry
that section of the country, hence he is in the discard.
George Dooley, republican candidate for senator from
this division, is going to get a big vote in this part of the coun
try, and will sweep" the Valdez and Copper river valley sections.
His election is practically assured, in the light of reports from
all the voting precincts heard from. Dooley is a strong Wick
ersham man and we need supporters of the delegate in thej
Alaska legislative assembly.
Joe H. Murray and W. P. Henry, candidate on tlie republi- j
can ticket for members of the lower house from the Third divi
sion, are men in the prime of life, well educated, good talkers,
old-timers in Alaska, and in all respects fitted for the positions
which they seek. Both are Wickersham men, and both will be
elected and add to the delegate’s strength in the Alaska legis
lative assembly. It is highly important that the delegate have
a territorial legislature that is in harmony with him. i
Of course^ everybody concedes the election of Frank B.
Cannon, despite the fact that he is running on a democratic '
ticket. The Cook inlet country must be represented in the
Alaska legislature and in Frank B. Cannon we’ll have a man
down there that will watch our interests. They won’t slip any
thing over on Frank, and lie’s a man that commands the re-,
spect and confidence of the people of the Cook inlet country.
Notwithstanding the fact that Cannon is running on a demo
cratic ticket, we would feel ourselves traitors to this section of
Alaska if we did not do our utmost to insure his election. We
take this pronounced stand on the high ground of the candi
date’s eminent fitness for the position; his wide knowledge of
the needs of the territory; his loyalty to the Cook inlet country;
his general qualifications as a legislator. Above all else, Can
non is an Alaskan. Politics cuts no figure when it comes to sup
porting a man of the Cannon type. Indeed, it is fortunate to
secure men of this splendid type to consent to run for office.
For road overseer for the Third division, Ed. Wood, of
Valdez, is going to be remembered by his many friends in the
Cook inlet country. Wood is a man of the Cannon type. To
know him is to vote for him. He will sweep the Valdez and
Copper river valley sections and will win the election by a good
margin.
The effort of the head officials of the American Federation
of Labor to secure the vote of organized labor for President
Wilson at tbe ensuing election will prove fntile, because it is a
fundamental principle of labor unions that the members shall
not be dragged into politics at tbe dictation of would-be lead
ers. The membership of organized labor unions compose a
body of men that are highly intelligent, in the main. They are
not to be lead around by the nose by professional labor leaders
of tbe type of Samuel Gonrpers and Jimmie Morrissey. They
will go to the polls November 7 and vote as they wish, employ
ing their prerogative so to do. And it will be found that they
will not be influenced by the activities of those who woulc^be
tray them into injecting politics into their well-defined and
well-organized policies, which comprehend aloofness from poli
tics,and especially national politics. The labor vote cannot be
bandied by bosses.
Tn the New York Herald’s straw vote, taken in an effort to
get a line on the coming presidential election, the outstanding
feature is that the empire state—New York—is placed in the
Hughes column, whereas, a couple of weeks ago, it was placed
in the Wilson column. If past political history counts for any
thing—and if we have no way of judging the future but by the
past—New York will decide tbe presidential election. And it
now appears that New York will poll a majority vote for the re
publican ticket. Hence, tbe republican ticket will win.

Thoughts on Business, copied from “ World’s Work ” for October. The
Federal Trade Commission has lately published two pamphlets that have first
importance for American Business Men. They are entitled “ Fundamentals
of a Cost System and “ A System of Accounts for Retail Merchants," and
they are based upon the practice of hundreds of successful manufacturers and
merchants of the country.
A Business Man's Accounts are the heart of his work; if they are inac
curate he is almost sure to be misled. A set of books properly and correctly
kept with the exact knowledge of overhead expense is the business man’s
guide to his business. It may mean a small expense, but what of it ? Thou
sands of small retail merchants go bankrupt every year because they conduct
their business not on the principle of exact knowledge, but on mere guesswork.
The hooks published by the Federal Trade Commission are simple and prac
tical; they are free for the asking on application to the commission.
