CANDIDATES IN OLD CLOTHES.
Gov. Lowden, it is announced, is
wearing an overcoat “three years
old and becoming shabby,” as evi
dence of his support of “the cam
paign against high prices.” As
economies of this nature go, how
ever, points out the New York
World, old overcoats hardly rank
with patched trousers, and the hon
ors appear to remain with Senator
Glass, ex-Secretary McAdoo and
other exemplars of thrift in the
Democratic administration.
Yet an avowed presidential candi
date in old clothes is a symptom of
interest, whether or not the cam
paign he is undertaking is solely
economical. But to what element
of the electorate is his tattered at
tire calculated to appeal? The tes- |
timony of the chairman of the board
of directors of the National Shirt j
Manufacturers’ association as to the 1
j
present vogue of silk shirts has an i
important bearing on the question. !
According to this authority, of the
$13,000,000 worth of orders for
shirts booked by his company, fully j
one-half will be manufactured of.
silk to sell for from $20 to $23 |
each, due to the demand for silk!
shirts “by workmen now earning i
more than ever before.’*
Is an old overcoat likely in the
circumstances to win the suffrages
of a proletariat clad in silk shirts?
The old order changes, and perhaps
it will be the part of wisdom for
candidates to change their tactics
with it. Homespun ar.d patches
have had to go before the new sar
torial standards of the minimum
wage. Perhaps the so-called “new
poor” would rally around a can
didate in seedy garb, but the way
to the heart of the prosperous plain
people is through elegance rather
than shabbiness of attire. It is the
appeal to the new “silk-stocking
crowd” and silk-shirt populace that
will count.
THE TERRIBLE TURK.
Henry Morgenthau, former am
bassador to Turkey, in an address
delivered at Philadephia recently,
declared that the Turks should be
driven from Europe and urged the
American people to make a strong
protest against past and present
outrages in the Near East.
“The British and French politi
cians for selfish purposes,” he de
clared, "are arranging to let the
Turk remain in Constantinople. II
the Turk is permitted to keep con
trol of the police and judicial sys
tems, the Greeks, Syrians, Armeni
ans and Jews cannot call their soul:
their own.
“If the Turk is not punished, ]
venture to prophesy that withir
three years the Russians will massa
ere two or three million Jews, foi
they will argue that public opinioi
did not protest against massacre;
of a million by the Turks.
“The United States is makin;
itself an accessory after the crimi
unless it takes the stand that thi
Turk must be punished."
Mr. Morgenthau spoke at a mas
meeting arranged by the Near Eas
Relief in the Academy of Music
There were repeated outbursts of I
enthusiasm at the mention of the'
name of Herbert C. Hoover, who
was characterized by the speaker as
“the Savior of Europe,” whom the
people of the Near East particu
larly “adore as if he were a pod.”
Mr. Morgenthau has been nom
inated by the President to be am
bassador to Mexico, according to
telegraphic dispatches received from
the national capital yesterday.
HYDER TO HAVE MOVIE
SHOWHOUSE IN SPRING
The Hyder Theater company has
been organized in Seattle for the
purpose of building a large, up-to
date moving picture house in the
town of Hyder. Eastman & Purvis,
architects, are now working on the
plans and specifications. The thea
ter will be 50x100 feet and will
have a seating capacity of 700.
Mr. Jurvis is well known to Alas
kans as the architect who planned
and built the fine moving picture
houses for Captain A. E. I.athrop
at Anchorage and at Cordova. He
specializes in theater building, in
which he has been engaged in New
York city, Chicago, San Francisco,
and Seattle. This has been his oc
cupation for the past thirty years.
It is probable that Mr. Purvis will
have immediate charge of the con
struction of the theater at Hyder.
SHRIMP-CANNING PLANT TO I
BE STARTED AT ICY STRAIT
—
A newly-discovered shrimp bed,
ten miles in length and five miles
in midth, in Icy strait, in the wa
ters of Alaska, has led to the or
ganization of a shrimp-canning con
jcern at Juneau, for the purpose of
utilizing this almost inexhaustible
I supply. Jack White, a well-known
politician of the territorial capital,
i is in Seattle ordering the necessary
plant for the new concern, which
promises to become an important
industry for Juneau.
White and associates plan to gath
er the shrimp in the beds of Icy
jstrait and transport them to Ju
: neau, where the canning plant will
be established.
FAMILIES OF JUNEAU
TO GET CANNERY WORK
The American Packing company
and the Northern Packing company,
operating canneries in Juneau, ex
pect to start up for the season
about the first of June, or whenever
the fish begin to run sufficiently to
insure operations, says the Juneau
Empire. All of the labor will be
employed from Juneau.
Entire families that worked in the
local canneries last summer made
• good wages and are said to have
’ liked the work, after they got used
to it. Another result of the wort
i was that trained hands have beer
educated who will be familiar with
: the work this summer and prove
! worth more to the canneries. Dur
s ing the war period many Alasks
families secured for the first time
> a practical knowledge of canning
: and packing fish and now form s
. considerable army of workers whe
What I Stand For
I am ft candidate for National Committeeman of the Republi
can Party to be elected April 27th. and I stand for the following
principles:
1 am not a politician and never ran for office before. 1 belong
to no political machine or combine and am under obligations to no
clique or faction. ... ...
I am opposed to machine domination in Alaska and if you elect
me I will take my orders from the people and nobody else.
While my home is in Anchorage, where I received the unani
mous indorsement of the Anchorage Republican Club, composed of
over one hundred fifty members, I will work for the entire Terri
tory of Alaska first, last and all the time.
If you elect me I will do my utmost to see that each locality
or division shall name the officers of that locality or division, and 1
will fight bitterly the appointment of anyone outside of Alaska
to an Alaska office.
Alaska has been my home for 23 years, winter and summer,
and I feel sure I know what Alaska needs.
The time has come to put an end to outside dictation in our
affairs and I believe what Alaska needs is more firesides and fewer
carpet-baggers.
The only way to rid Alaska of machine politicians is to vote
against them. People of Alaska, I am making this fight for you
and I want your help. You deliver the votes and I will deliver
the goods.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION
IS APPLIED TO ALASKA !
_ ;
United States District Attorney :
William Munly, of the Third divi- j

the national prohibition act, known
as the Volstead act, supersedes the
territorial prohibition act of Febru
ary 14, 1917. All prosecutions in
the future will be made under the
new act, which means that liquor ‘

grand jury for trial in the district
court.
