NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 21, 1917.
The Nugget congratulates the citi
zens meeting which was held at Eagle
hall last night on their happy choice
of a candidate for mayor. Hr. Lomen
has resided in Nome since June, 190i
and is well known to the community
who have honored themselves by
honoring him. He is a man of legal
attainments and has on many occa
sions evinced a civic pride which goes
far to assure the interest which he will
take in the administration of city af
fairs if elected—as he certainly will
be. He has not been a seeker after
office. He has practiced his profes
sion consistently since his admission
to the bar in 1875 when he graduated
from the law department of the Iowa
State University. He is a native of
that state having been born on the
28th day of January, 1954.
At the age of twenty four Mr. Lo
men was eletced clerk of the court
of Houston county, Minesota; re
elected four years later, and, before
the expiration of his term resigned
his office to enter the law partnership
of LoLrnen and Torrison in St. Paul,
Minn. During 1890 he represented the
First ward of St. Paul in the Minne
sota legislature and was a candidate
for municipal judge of St Paul in the
city election of 1890 but was defeated
with the balance of the republican
ticket .His ability has been recogniz
ed by some of our large corporations
for whom he is at present an at
torney.
Mr. Lomen is the father of a large
family, his five sons being actively
engaged in successful commercial
business and enterprises in this com
munity and the interests of the Lo
m^n family are tied up with this city
and community more largely—it is
evident — than any other family here
in Nome. He has dabbled quite ex
tensively in mining and is a large
stockholder in the reindeer herds of
Lomen & Co.
In conclusion we would say that
Mr. Lomen can appreciate the rights
of labor as well as capital. He was
born and raised on a farm; has seen
and felt what hard work spells and
means. Yet despite the fact that he
is over 63 years of age today is still
one of the most active men in the
entire community. lie is here to stay.
Nome is sure to be congratulated on
the selections made at the mass meet
ing last night to fill the offices of city
fathers. It is indeed gratifying to
see the community take such an ac
tive interest in the affairs of the city.

Here carefully selected, are of good
tound timber are thoroughly acquaint
’d with local conditions, and, are men
who will go through and do the right
thing. Some of them were not pres
ent at last night's meeting. It is to
he hoped that they will enter into the
spirit of the matter and secrifice their
time in a good cause for the general
welfare of the entire community.
Democracy has troubles of it i own
The democratic machine seems to be
strongly opposed to the re-appoint
ynetn of Governor Strong, but, now
comes the legislature in session and
recommends tbo governor’s re-ap
pointment with only one dissenting
voice; to wit: that of Congressman
Sulzer. The house Is unanimous In the
go\ ornor’s favor, so also the senate
with the exception above.
“Verily politics makes strange bed
fellows.” ..
In the matter of the Sulzer man
damus it is evident from telegrams
received last night that the case has
not been wholly disposed of by the
decision sustaining tire demurrer. It
seems that Judge Jennings has given
the canvassing board further time to
show cause why a certificate of elec
tion should not bo issued to Mr. Sul
zer. This would Indicate that if, by
an amended answer ttie canvassing
board should allege facts sufficient if
proven, to authorize the issuance of
the certificate to Mr. Wickersham,
then, the case will he heard on the
merits. The decision of the demurrer
amounted only to a ruling, that, ad
mitting the facts alleged in the orig
inal answe- to be true, ti.a* said an

LINCOLN’S DEATH
IS RECALLED
Pacific News Service. Wash. Bure**
WASHINGTON. Experts in civil
war history are making copious notes
concerning the death in New York of
Prof. William Withers. Trof. With
ers was director of the orchestra
which played In Fox'd's theater on
Tenth street in Washington on the
night when President Llncon was
assassinated by Booth. Withers was
one of the men who struggled with
Booth attempting to prevent his es
cape from the stage just after he
had shot the president and leaped
on the boards with the cry: “Sic
Semper Tyrannus." A curious inci
dent in ttie life of Prof. Withers is
that ho had composed a special pleco
of music to play in htjiior of Tjn-^
coin's attendance. The assassination
took place before it was time for the
number to be played, Prof. Withers
tore up the music and declaimed it
never should be played and it never
