A WEEK FROM TODAY.
One week from this date the national election and the ter
ritorial election will take place. With respect to the presiden
lial election, the latest reports indicate that the contest will be
exceedingly close and that the great state of New York will
probably be the deciding factor in this, as in preceding national
elections. Normally, New York is a republican state. The re
publican presidential candidate is a resident of that state and
made a splendid record as governor. The primary election held
by the progressives to determine their choice as between Gov
ernor Whitman, republican, who is seeking re-election, and
Judge Seabury, democratic nominee for governor, revealed the
fact that a large majority of the progressives favored the elec:
tion of Whitman. This vote was taken to indicate the attitude
of the progressive vote for president, in the absence of a regu
lar party nominee for that office. In view of this exceedingly
favorable condition, it seems fair to place the Empire state in
the republican column in the national election. And if the re
publicans carry that state, with its forty-five votes in the elec
toral college, it would appear that there is nothing to it but
Hughes and Fairbanks.
So far as Alaska is concerned, it is much easier to make a
prediction. We regard the re-election of Delegate James Wick
ersliam as a foregone conclusion. So also with respect to
George B. Grigsby, candidate for attorney-general. This will
be a three-cornered contest, but it will narrow down to a con
test between Grigsby and Schofield, with the chances, in our
opinion, largely favoring the former.
For territorial senator from this division, there are three
candidates. George Dooley, the republican nominee, is the
equal of the others in point of ability, is better known and has
lived longer in this division than his opponents and should have
no difficulty in winning.
Joe Murray and William P. Henry, republican candidates
for the lower house, are pioneers of the Third division and are
widely known throughout the district. Both are strong candi
dates that should easily distance their competitors in the race.
Frank Cannon—well, he can’t be beat—and he ought not
to be defeated. His politics ? Bother his politics. We simply
know Cannon as an old-timer and every inch a man. When a
man of this stamp is a candidate for office, it don’t make a bit
of difference what his politics are. The Cook Inlet country
needs Frank Cannon down at Juneau and we’re going to send
him there, too.
For road overseer of this division, Ed. Wood will be elected
if he knows enough people in the district, because to know him
is to vote for him.
COAL FAMINE IN A LAND OF COAL.
It seems rather absurd and poor management that the resi
dents of Anchorage should be short of coal, as well as wood,
when they live in a region underlain with coal and in a country
liberally timbered. But such is the fact nevertheless. There
is not a ton of coal to be had, for love or money, and wood is
exceedingly scarce—that is, wood cut,to proper lengths. And
to add to the trouble, the buzz saw is out of commission.
The first cold snap is prevailing now—and the first one
seems always the coldest. And to find the community short of
fuel in this dilemma is a reflection upon the business sagacity
of those persons engaged in this particular business, as we view
it. The Times had occasion to sound a note of warning about
the fuel question. Some took advantage of the advice and laid
in their winter fuel supply, to find now that they are compelled
to loan some of it to their less thoughtful neighbors.
The difficulty seems to be that the people were- encouraged
to believe that ample coal would be available from the Mata
nuska valley mines, whereas the operators in that region find
their entire product taken in the filling of contracts long sinct
signed with the Alaskai Engineering Commission. Believing
that the Matanuska coal would be in competition with the Cook
Inlet product, it is probable that the dealers handling the Cook
Inlet lignite coal did not care to lay in a vast quantity, or il
may not have been possible so to do with the transportation
facilities available. *
Whatever the trouble, the fact remains that there is s
dearth of coal in Anchorage and something Will have to be done
to relieve the situation.
