ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13, 1916.
REPUBLICAN SUCCESS ASSURED.
“As goes the state of Maine so goes the nation,” is a po
litical maxim that past experience has proved true in nearly
every ease in the history of the United States. In the state
election held in Maine the republican party achieved a decisive
success over the democratic party, which has held the reins ot
government in that commonwealth during the past two state
elections.
The outstanding feature of this election is the fact that
the progressive vote is to a very large extent returning to the
republican fold, from whence it came. The republican party
made a gain of 35 per cent. It is fair to assume that about this
ratio will prevail in the national elections in nearly all of the
states, in which event the success of the republican party is
assured beyond the peradventure of a doubt.
The Maine election will likewise till the republican party
with renewed hope for the battle that lies before it. It will
tend to make the doubtful Voter cast bis lot with the party
that is most apt to win at the polls. It is natural for all ot us
to wish to be on the winning side. As the portent is propitious
for the republican party, the doubtful voter will fall into line
by jumping into the band wagon that is beaded for success.
LET US ENCOURAGE INDUSTRIES.
One by one the big concerns and enterprises are establish
ing themselves in Anchorage, after investigating the merits of
other Alaska towns, led here by the very apparent fact that
this point has more adjacent resources of various kinds than
any other Alaskan community. The latest addition to the town i
is a big branch of the Giant Powder company, details of which
were given in yesterday’s issue of The Daily Times.
As Mr. J. L. McPherson, secretary of the Alaska bureau j
of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, points out, in conversa
tion with The Times, the way to build up a prosperous com
munity is to seek to interest the establishment of home indus
tries. Seattle has learned this lesson, after years of sleeping on
its rights, and is now engaged in a fine effort to attract home
industries. It is succeeding to a marked degree and the result
shows a decided increase in the volume of business in /Seattle
and the resultant employment of hundreds of workmen,*skilled
and unskilled.
The establishment of one industry encourages another, and
so on until a community very soon evolves into a prosperous,
substantial city.
FRANK B. CANNON.
In today’s issue of The Anchorage Daily Times appears
the announcement of Frank B. Cannon, the grand old man of
Knik, as a candidate for the lower house on the democratic
ticket.
Other announcements will no doubt follow the lead of Mr.
Cannon’s, but it is always a pleasure for this paper to repeat
again and again that Mr. Cannon is a man among men and
stands without a peer in the estimation of the people of Knik,
the mining camps of the Willow creek, the fanners of Matanus
ka; even into the Cache creek district does this enviable and
closely-guarded reputation extend.
While Mr. Cannon is running on the democratic ticket his
election is virtually conceded, and as was aptly expressed by
an old Tillicum the other day, “Hell, there’ll be no politics
when it comes to voting for Frank Cannon.”
The evolution of Nkagway into a peaceful, law-abiding
community brought about by the elimination of the saloon and
open games of chance, impresses on the old-timer the fact that
time has wrought great changes in Alaska. While the great
Klondike stampede was on, in the later days of the “nineties,”
Old Shag Town, as it was called, was about the toughest town
oil the round globe. “Soapy” Smith and his unsavory gang
held dominion over the community; gambling in all forms was
wide open; dance halls were running full blast; the “red light”
district was located in the center of the business section of
the town. Little regard was had for the law. Under some
freak defect in the law, intoxicating liquors could be sold in j
Alaska, but could not be imported into the country. Hence, the j
whiskey smuggler waxed fat off the smuggling of “wet” goods
into Alaska.
Renewed spirit was manifested at the Chamber of Com
merce meeting last night, in that a good attendance was on
band and much business of importance to the town transacted, i
It pleases everybody to know that President A. J. Wendler and
Secretary A. S. Koch were honored by re-election to office. Roth
of these men are substantial property owners in Anchorage j
and are numbered among the j (regressive men of the eommun- j
ity, who believe in doing things.

Telegraphic reports from the interior indicate that Charles;
Sulzer, the democratic candidate for delegate to congress, who
has been campaigning in those parts, has met with little suc
cess in his efforts to gain votes. The sentiment is overwhelm-1
inglv in favor of the incumbent.
