AN ELECTION FORECAST. •
Just as sure as that the night succeeds the day, just so sure
will the coming presidential election reveal a triumphant vic
tory for Hughes and Fairbanks, the republican national ticket.
A mere assertion like this? counts for nothing. There must he
a substantial basis for such a pronounced statement. In this
instance, the basis is found in the recent test vote in the state
of Maine, the big republican vote in the states of California
and Washington, and the report not verified as yet hut proha
blv authentic, that Governor Whitman, republican candidate
for governor, lias, in a primary election in the state of New
York, won the progressive support over Judge Seabury, the
democratic nominee. And everybody knows, that is at all in
formed on politics, that the big state of New York is the pivo
tal state in national elections. The party that gains the elec
toral vote of New York is almost certain to win.
We have more information at hand with respect to the re
sult in the recent election in Maine than any of the other state
elections recently held, fragmentary reports by wire only hav
ing been received from the latter. The Maine vote shows that
the republican gubernatorial ticket secured 77,000 votes. This
is the largest vote ever east for any republican candidate for
president or governor, except for McKinley in 1896, when the
total was 80,465.
The democratic vote of 64,000 has been exceeded several
times. In September, 1912, the democratic vote for governor
was 67,748. Wilson for president in November received 51,113.
In 1908, the last straight test between the parties without
any holt, the vote for governor in September was: Republi
can, 73,728; democratic, 66,075. Republican plurality, 7,653.
Compare this with the recent gubernatorial election vote, and
you will gain the reason for the faith that is within us.
Looking as auspicious for success as the presidential elec
tion in the states is the delegate election in Alaska. There is
but one division in Alaska about which any doubts were held
by the advocates of the re-election of Delegate Wickersham,
and that is the first division. This is the home district of the
democratic candidate for delegate. It is likewise the hotbed
of the disgruntled Shackleford crowd of alleged republicans,
avIio are supporting the candidacy of Mr. Sulzer. Advices fnfrv
this division are to the effect that Delegate WickerslpwiAis/ur
rival in that district, where he is now campaigning,4^prxurned
the tide in his favor and that he will carry the second district
by a fair plurality. The remaining districts—the second, third
and fourth—are conceded to be for Wickersham, although
his plurality in the second division will not be large. The third
and fourth divisions will give him big pluralities.
THE NEW REGULATION.
The department of agriculture has handed out a mandate,
declaring that within a specified area, namely, beginning at a
point sfrutli of .latitude 62 degrees and between longitude 141
west and longitude 155 west, on and after October 1, 1916, and
continuing until October 1, 1918, no moose or mountain sheet
carcass or parts of a carcass shall be sold. This area takes in
the whole of the Cook Inlet country as far north as the upper
reaches of the Susitna valley. Kenai peninsula, the great
moose country, is likewise within the confines of the proposed
reserve.
At first blush this regulation will appear as somewhat
harsh on us fellows that never get a chance to go to the hills
in quest of big game, but on the whole, we presume, the regu
lation will tend to preserve the wild game of this country, pro
tecting it from wanton slaughter.
Primarily, we believe, the big game native to the country
should be preserved for the benefit of the prospector, miner or
explorer, or those engaged in other legitimate pursuits that
take them from the paths of civilization. We who live in set
tlements can now be supplied, at all times of the year, with do
mestic meat in abundance. Not so the prospector or miner. He
depends almost wholly on the wild game of the country for
his fresh meat supply, and this fine meat resource should be
preserved for his benefit and use. Likewise, the aborigines
of the country are entitled to share in the meat supply that was
theirs before the advent of the white man. If we city folks
must have moose and mountain sheep, there is nothing in the
new regulation to prevent us from killing the allotted number,
for our own use.
The new regulation was imposed because of the activities
of certain market hunters, who have no regard whatever for
these fine big game animals. It is a crying shame to kill a ma
jestic moose, and bring in for sale only the choice hind quar
ters of the carcass, leaving the remainder to go to waste. It is
such wanton waste as this that brings about the issuance of
such regulations.

Vol. 1. No. 56. ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 4th and I>
Congratulations! Everybody in town is getting married apparently, for
every second person coming in our drugstore is buying wedding presents. And
they leave our§tore satisfied—they found what they wanted.
We have added the famous “Swan” Fountain Pen to our stock. It has a
chain attached to the top of the pen. You simply cannot lose it—And you
should have a fountain pen. It is an evidence of business efficiency. We car
ry the Waterman Ideal, Parker, Conklin, and the Swan.
When I decided to move my drug store from Juneau to Anchorage, while
the boys were packing up the stock, I ran over to Sitka. Sitka is Alaska’s
old capital, as you all know, and it has many interesting points for a visitor.
It is a very popular trip with the tourists. Our boat had over 100 of them.
We went over to see the sights and of course visited the Alaska museum. We
were looking at some old curios, when I heard one of the fair tourists ask the
custodian if they had a drug store in Sitka. “No,” replied the lady in charge,
“we always send for our drugs to Juneau.” “That is too bad,” said the tour
ist, “I have a prescription I want filled; who would you suggest as the best
druggist in Juneau?” ' “Why,” answered the lady, “We always send for our
drugs to Loussac’s drug store. He is the most reliable there.” She did not
know I was there, and I am sure I never saw her before, but believe me, I
feel very proud. It is just things like that which spur you on to further ef
forts in improving your service.
We have many an article, not expensive in the least, but which added to
your home will prove a necessity. Towel racks, soap dishes, glass holders,
bath room supplies of all description, at the most reasonable prices.
Now is a good time to send a souvenir of Alaska to your friends. A book
of poems by R. Service is most appropriate, in “The Spell of the Yukon” is
embodied the spirit of Alaska in the days of ’98.
We have received a new supply of Victor records and machines at our
other store—formerly the Northern Drug Co. If you wish any special rec
ords let us know. We will get them for you.
“Libbey’s” name on cut glass is like “Gorham” on silver—it stands for
quality. We are the agents.
