GRIGSBY SLATED
HEAD TICKET
It seems to be generally understood
In Democratic circles that George B.
Grigsby, of Nome, will secure the
nomination for delegate to Congress
at the coming territorial convention,
which will likely be held at Seward
early in the spring.
Mr. Grigsby was formerly district
of the Second division under
the Republican administration, but
claims to have always been a Demo
crat. Since he lost his office owing
to his independence and his refusal
to do what the powers asked him to
do he has been Identified with the
Democratic party In Nome, and was
one of the strongest supporters, of
Robert Jennings in the last election
but one. Indeed, Grigsby was slated
then for a place and w'ould probably
have received it were it not for the
fact that the administration took it
upon itself to send carpet-baggers.
Grigsby occupies a position politi
cally similar to that of Marshal F. R.
Brenneman, of Valdez. When Bren
neman was appointed United States
marshal everyone thought him a Re
publican because he held office under
a Republican administration, but Mar
shall, who is now vice-president, knew
Brenneman when the latter took an
active part in Democratic politics
outside. The same may be true of
Shorthill. secretary of the governor,
whom everyone thought a Republican,
but who declares that the only presi
dent he ever voted for was William
lennings Bryan.

IS NO AGE LIMIT
LONDON, Dec. 23. — There is to
>e no age limit for generals in the
tritiah army, says a statement from
Premier Asquith. He proposes, on
he other hand, to displace them
whenever they show signs of senility,
vhether their ages be forty or eighty.
'it is not possible,” remarks Mr.
Xsqufth, “to institute any hard and
'ast rule as to an age limit for offl
•ers in command of divisions, but It
sill be our aim to appoint those of
ioers whose mental and physical
lualiflcatlons are most suitable. Some
lien age sooner and some later than
ithers."
