He has taken care not to overlook any member
of the family,—and he has been fortunate in secur
ing a good assortment of Suitable Presents at prices
that will make you forget the high cost of living.

kerchiefs (3 in a box), the Siik Underwear, the
large stock of Electric Table Lamps ($5.00 up), the
new shipment of Piece Goods (Silk Striped Goods

could take up all the space in this newspaper with
describing the Beautiful Stock now on display here
for the Holiday Trade,—but before we close we
must say a few words about the stock of Toys, be
cause that’s really the only item that interests the
children,—Santa Claus insists that you see his
Toys,—he says everybody can afford them—(and he
ought to know).

REPUBLICANS OF
FAIRBANKS HAVE
I The Republicans of Fairbanks
have reorganized, after several years
! of apathy, and plan to take an
active part in the forthcoming cam
paign, confident that there will be a
nation-wide landslide in favor of Re
publicanism next year.
: A considerable number of mem-.
bers of the old Republican organ- j
ization held a meeting at the city
hall last night, the purpose of the
meeting being to elect officers and
get the organization shape other
wise for active campaigning. Cecil
H. Clegg, prominent Fairbanks at
torney. whose party affliction has
never been questioned, was the
unanimous choice of the meeting for
president of the club; Thomas A. j
Marquam, another oldtime Republi- J
can and one of the moving spirits j
in the present reorganization, was \
elected rice-president, and Frank |
Bishoprick is secretary.
An executive board consisting of j
Attorney A. R. Heilig, Robert I-a
,very. and Guy B. Erwin was also
elected and, after a new constitution
had been formally adopted, the pres
ident appointed a committee to draf*
a set of new by-laws for considera
tion at the next meeting, scheduled
to be held on the night of January 2.
A resolution was introduced en
dorsing J. R. Heckman, of Ketchi
kan, for national committeeman, but
such action was opposed by Mar
quam and Dan Sutherland on the
ground that an endorsement is un
timely at present, their argument
being that action should not be
taken until after the primaries. The
resolution was accordingly laid on
the table, but it is understood that
it will be brought up again at the
next meeting.
Heel—i?n already has been en
dorsed by the Republicans of Cor
dova and Ketchikan, and has an
nounced that he will accept the ap
pointment if it is tendered to him.
The Fairbanks organization claims
a membership of seventy.
Nenana Next.
The Republicans of Nenana prob
ably will be the next to organize,
steps already having- been trken t>
call a meeting shortly after the first
of the new year.
George Markus, who recently un
derwent a major operation at the
Government hospital, was discharged
from the institution today.
