A QUESTION OF REVENUE.
If Alaska goes dry the result may be directly attributed to
the saloons themselves. The indifference displayed' by the av
erage dispenser of the cup that cheers is appalling when you
'■onsider the far-reaching effect it will have upon a community
if his business is confiscated and his taxes lost to a community.
The prohibitionists arc working night and day to carry the ter
ritory dry, and arc gaining converts rapidly. Many merchants
right hero in our own city are in favor of a dry town, believing
that people will pay their bills better and that their finances
will be improved under a dry regime. Unless those who believe
in the sale of liquor under municipal regulations get active and
work for their belief they will undoubtedly be greatly surpris ’d
at the sentiment against the liquor traffic. The financial side
of the question is the greatest lever the saloon men have, but
they are as mute as a clam when it comes to letting the public
know their claims.—Valdez Prospector.

ANCHORAGE SOLID FOR DOOLEY.
In the persons of George Dooley, candidate for senator
and W. I'. Henry and .Joseph Murray, candidates for the lowei
house, the Republicans of the Third division of Alaska have
nominees of whom they are justly proud and whom they pro
pose to loyally support in the campaign now in full swing.
George Dooley is a resident of Cordova. He is chief of po
lice and chief of the fire department of that enterprising com
munity, and is likewise concerned in business affairs. He is ;
public spirited" citizen, well informed and progressive. He is i
; iom er Alaskan, having resided at Valdez for a number ol
years before going to Cordova. His knowledge of the needs ol
Alaska has been gained through years of residence and activi
participation in public matters. Ho is a man of family and i;
in the prime of life.
George Dooley, old timer, the Republican nominee for sen
ator from the third judicial district, is a visitor in Anchorage
in the interests of his campaign. Mr. Dooley may rest in tin
assurance that the Cook Inlet country will give him a good vot*
at the coming election. Aside from being a sourdough, Mr
Dooley is in all respects qualified for the position he seeks. —
