The struggle at the polls at the
Territorial General Election next
November will be confined absolute
ly to Democrat and Republican can
didates. There will be no independ
ent candidates, because—well, prin
cipally because certain provisions
Contained in the Primary Election
Daw passed at the 1919 session of
the Territorial Legislature have al
most universally escaped the public
notice.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
The Territorial Legislature at the
1915 session passed an act estab
lishing official election ballots and
naming certain conditions which
must be met before candidate's
names should be placed thereon.
Among other provisions it fixes a
time limit of 75 days prior to the
election as being the latest date any
candidate may file his nomination
papers and have his name put on the
official ballot Any candidate hav
ing a sufficient number of signatures
on his nomination papers, as long as
he filed them 75 days prior to the
General Election was entitled to have
his name placed on the official ballot
with any political affilation that he
• chose to assume.
PRIMARY LAW OF 1917
The Territorial Legislature of 1917,
however, by enacting a Primary Elec
tion Law, fixed the manner in which
the candidates for nomination might
go before the voters of the several
political parties and become nominees
of such party organizations, and be
entitled to have their names placed
on the official ballots. Candidates who
did not choose to make the race as the
nominee of any specific party organ
ic igation, under the 1917 Primary Act.
were still allowed to file nomination
papers at any time before and up to
75 days prior to the general election
and get on the official ballot.
FILING LIMIT CHANGED
In some respects the 1917 Primary
Law was found not altogether satis
factory. At the last session of the
Territorial Legislature a new Primary
Law was introduced in the senate and
£ passed both houses, becoming incor
porated in the 1919 Session Laws of
Alaska under Chapter 25, and repeal
ing the Act of 1917. It is entitled
“An Act to provide for the holding of
Primary Elections in the Territory of
Alaska, to fix the time and manner of
holding the same, to prescribe the
qualifications of such elections- to
designate the manner of filing and
authenticating their candidacy,” etc.
Section 10 of this Act is as fol
lows:
“The name of the candidate receiv
ing the highest number of votes for
any office at such Primary Election
by any political party shall be placed
upon the official ballot provided for
the General Election, followed by the
designation of the political party by
which nominated, and in addition to
the name of the candidates nominat
ed at such Primary Election by the
*. several political parties, the names of
such other candidates as have filed
nomination papers, as is now or may
hereafter be required by law; Pro
vided, that all such nominations mast
be filed on or prior to the date of the
Primary Election.”
The time set by the same Act for

similarly in every second year there
after. This date came on April £7.
last, up to which time there had
been filed no nominations by inde
pendent candidates.
MAY DISAPPOINT SOME
This year, as in the past, every
body knew, or though they did, that
after the primary election had been
held, the independents still had sev
eral weeks in which to enter the
field. And this year, although no
definite announcements to that effect
have been made, it is understood that
certain interests were grooming “dark(
horse” candidates for entry in legisla
tive contests, if not for other offices.
In the Second Division, it had been
intimated that an independent ticket
carrying candidates for both the Ter
ritorial Senate, and House of Repre
sentatives would be put up. It is too
late now to file and would-be indepen
dent candidates will apparently be
compelled curb their political ambi
tion for another two years.
RETURN SEIZ
MM SWEEPE I
THE HAGUE, June 7 (by Associat
ed Press).—The Dutch naval author
ities have decided to return the Ger
man mine sweeper U. Z-18, which was
interned a few weeks ago, to the Ger
man mine sweeping flotilla, from
which it deserted. The vessel was tak
en by the German crew into the Zui
derzee. At Muyden, a little fishing
town, the captain, mate and two other
members of the crew went ashore in
order to find a buyer for their boat,
but were arrested. The rest of the
crew, who waiting in vain for their
comrades, had grown impatient, were
just going to leave the Dutch waters
again, when they were caught by a
Dutch torpedo boat.
