CASH COLE FRAMING
GOVERNOR PLATFORM
According to the Juneau Empire
Cash Cole who has filed his declara
tion of candidacy for governor ol
Alaska, on liie repub'ican ticket
'.as not completed working out his
platform hut expects to make it public
within a short time.
Mr. Cole say, however, according
to The Empire, that he is opposed to
fisheries reserves and in accord with
Delegate Sutherland’s position on that
subject. He believes that the closed
season law on salmon fishing points
the way to teritorial regulation of
the fisheries and that Uuture terri
torial legislatures can handle them
along the same line.
Mr. Cole consistently supported
Judge Wickersham when the latter
was Alaska’s representative in Wash
ington lie it a ciose pmosml iibutd
of the judge and also of Delegate
Sutherland whom he has supported
strongly in the past. He said he had
been assured of the support of both
men in his candidacy.
The law under which Mr. Cole sub
mitted his declaration was passed by
the 1921 legislature. It provides for
the e&pression of opinion by the
voters of the territory' for governor.
Candidates for the nomination are re
quired to file for the primaries as in
the case of elective public office, and
those winning in the primaries enter
the general election. The candidate
receiving the high st vote will undei
the law have his name submitted to
the President of the United States as
the choice of the people of Alaska for
their governor for a term of four
years. -

OFFICIAL ALE TASTER
IS DEAD; WONDER HOW
MANY WANT HIS JOB
TWINCKENHAM, Eng., Feb. 1.—
The official ale taster to the Duke of
Northumberland, Frederick Stuckley,
of Sion Manor, Isleworth, is dead. In
the good old days when English ale
was real ale, pungent, rich in color
and possessing a kick unobtainable
from any of the lighter, frothy brews
i at one time familiar in America ma
ny Englishmen considered the ducal
ale taster the most fortunate man in
the King’s realm.
He had the authority to enter a
public house, call for beer, taste it,
and condemn it if not of good qual
ity. In recent years, however, he
had not taken advantages of his offi
| cial position.
The office of ale taster extends back
to the tiuiewhen the Saxons ruled in
England. The injunction to the offi
cial on assuming his duties was as
follows:
“You shall swear that you shall well
and truly serve the king’s majesty and
theLord of his Leet in the office ol
the ale taster.
“You shall have diligent care dur
ing thetime of your being in office to
j all the brewers and tipplers within
j your office that they and every one
of them do make good and wholesome
j ale and beer for man’s body, and that
j the same besole according .to the pri
ces limited and appointed by the
King’s Justices of the Peace.”

FORCES SEEK TO REPEAL
RULE REQUIRING TWO-THIRDS
VOTE AT THE CONVENTION
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—President
ial politics inside the democratic par
ty has unexpectedly reached a climax
which may make the national conven
tion this year sensational in history.
Although the managers of the boom
■ or William Gibbs McAdoo are deny
ing it to be their intention to propose
an abrogation of the two-thirds rule j
whereby presidential candidate are no!
minated in the democratic convention,!
the workers in various states are pled-j
ging national committee men and com-1
mittee women to vote for such a j
change at the meeting of the demo- j
cratic national convention to be held
here next week.
Unless the opposition to the Mc
Adoo candidacy can rally its forces
within the next few days, the resolu
tion will be offered and passed. En
ough pledges seem to have been se
cured to adopt the resolution, but the
margin is close and may be overturn
ed. If the McAdoo forces do not find
themselves with enough votes they
will not propose the resolution, for to
be defeated in such ar issue in the
democratise national committee would
be a bad blow to the prestige of the
boom *tself
B. H. Barndollar, examiner of ac
counts for the Alaska railroad, who
has been in Washington on official
business, is erpected to return to An
chorage next week.
