DONOHOE FOR
SCHOOL DIRECTOR
Large Property Owner in Cordova
| Says Would Serve Valdez Faith
I
fully and Well.
T. J. Donohoe has thrown his hat
in the ring and will be a candidate
tor the position of school director, to
be voted upon at the coming election.
The announcement caused consider
able surprise among the politicians of
the town. Some claimed that he would
have a walk away and that no one
could come within striking distance
pf him when the polls are closed
and the votes counted.
Friends of Mr. Donohoe assert I hat
the old Keystone Canyon tight is a
thing of the past and that no one
would vote against him because he
was the attorney for th^ 'railroad
company when Hasey was hired and
armed with rifles and later wounded
five workmen. They also claim that
the vote last year when the Frame
bunch voted him down in the Valdez
Democratic club by a vole of 177 to
12 was not a fair test of his strength
and that all the old fights which have
kept him from enjoying political of
fice are things of the past and that
he will have a walk away, as he is
the only man really qualified for the
(position.
Some enemies, however, claim that
Donohoe Is a Cordova booster and
that he has larger interests in the
railroad town than in Valdez. They
also point out the fact that every time
a boom has struck this city Mr. Don
ohoe has had a new townsite to pro
pose at Hazeletville, which was a
menace to Valdez during the construc
tion of the Helm road and two years
ago, when mining operations were
on the boom lie revived the Hazelet
ville project.
The work of preparing tickets for
the coining municipal election started
last night when F. M. Boyle and a
number of his friends prepared the
following ticket:
E. E. Ritchie, Harry E. F. King,
Charles Day, J. C. Martin, Andy Dier
inger and C. C. Rudolph. It is expect
ed that the ticket will stand as nam
ed and that no changes will be made.
Councilman White, who was ad
verse to running again, has declared
that he will enter the race and that
his hat is in the ring. His friends
say that he has been the “watch dog
Of the treasury” and that the con
servative element will vote for nini.
His opponents say they will beat him.
With White will run Ferguson, Mar
tin, Patterson and Lyons and two oth
ers not yet named.
John Frame and his followers will
have a full ticket in the field, and
the Socialists will have a full city
ticket, intending to stand by their
colors and count noses.
Other tickets will be made up in
i a few days and trades and dicker
ing will be entered into.
Ed. Wood may be induced to run,
as he has many friends who desire
that he return to the council.
Councilman Finical has declared
that he is out of it and will not, un
der any circumstances, seek a re
election, as his business will keep him
busy this coming summer.
The fight for councilmen will be
watched with interest. The new vote
for the Reservation section is an un
known quantity, and the addition
thereto of the votes of the ladies
makes it difficult to forecast the re
sult.
