President When He Arose to S|>eak
—Derated Wall Htreet As Trying
to Dominate Government.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—Following
the torchlight procession here last
1 night the Tammanyites, headed by
|Charles Murphy, marched into Madi
'son Square Garden, where [’resident
Wilson was scheduled to speak. The
crowds were so enormous that the po
lice detailed to maintain order were
powerless to stem the rush for seats.
Women and hundreds turned out to
hear the President, and many fainted
1 in the tremendous crush.
The immense hall was packed to
the doors and overflowed into the
.streets, and similar scenes were en
acted at Cooper Union hall, where
, the President also spoke. Augustus
Thomas, the noted playwright and
theatrical manager presided at the
Madison Square meeting.
Wm. F. McCombs, formerly chair- j
man of the Democratic National com-!
mittee was the first speakej-, and was
followed hy Martin Glynn, ox-govern
or of New York. When Wilson rose!
to speak the cheering broke loose, and j
for thirty minutes the uproar was
tremendous. In his three speeches
delivered last night the President re
iterated his conception of the great
issues which confronted theVnation.
He championed the cause of progress
and pleaded for equal rights for all.
He arraigned Wall Street as seeking
to dominate rather than to co-oper
ate with the government. He pre
dicted he would be re-elected. The
: President will deliver his last cam
paign address at Shadow Dawn uii

LEAD HEARTHER8 ON
A HTRENUOU8 CHASE
Deputy Marshal Isaac Evans and
Hugo Johnson, a station employe at
Mile 12 had a strenuous hike Satur
day tracking down David Person, an
other station worker who had been
temporarily deranged. Person is in
custody here and may recover with
out being sent outside.
Person went to work for the Ben
son station gang at Mile 12 last week
and on Friday morning after a few re
marks about being watched by some
one who wanted to send him to the
asylum he disappeared.
Johnson and another man tracked
Him over the hills to Glacier river and
the water being deep decided not to
cross. Six inches of snow on the
ground made his trail easy to follow.
Marshal Evans was notified and
started out Saturday morning accom
panied by Johnson. They went three
miles over the hills to the point on
the river where the tracks ended.
Two miles down the river they were
able to make a crossing and found the
tracks on the other side, where Per
son had forded or swam the deep wa
ter. Then they trailed him over the
low hills to Snow river, up the stream
and back around a circle and then
across Snow river down the slough
which Person crossed and recrossed
three tinfes over to the river and
across it again. Near Snow river
bridge they found no further tracks
so hiked back up to Mile 12.
There they found Person, who had
leturned to camp in a dazed condi
tion and wet to the skin after his 30
hour hike. The station men had put
him to bed while his clothes we.-e
drying.' Later he was brought to
town.—Seward Post.
VOTE FOR SCHOFIELD. .
The Valdez Republican Club ap
peals to all Republicans of the town
to vote for George D. Schofield for at
torney-general of Alaska. Any citizen
can vote for him conscientiously be
cause he is a man of ability and In
tegrity, fully the equal of either of
his opponents as a lawyer and citizen.
We ask Republicans to vote for
Mr. Schofield because we believe the
Republican party will soon return to
power, and every Republican ought
to cast his vote so as to show that the
party is strong in Alaska. Mr. Scho
field is the only Republican nominee
for whom the territory can vote, and
his support will be a test of party
strength.
Finally, the rule has ^)een made
that representation in future Repub
lican conventions shall be based on
the vote for Republican territorial
candidates at the last preceding elec
tion. This rule has been approved by
the Republican national committee.
Accordingly, representation in the
territorial convention of 1918 will be
based on the vote for Schofield next
Tuesday. • —Adv.
