SULZER GAINS
IN COOK INLET
TWO PRECINCTS GIVE 8 VOTES
Reports from Kenai and Ninilchik
Give Democratic Candidate for Del
egate a Plurality of Eight Votes
Over Wickersham.
SEWARD,, NoV. 29.—A wireless
message from the steamer Dora, now
on her westward trip, gives the re
turns from the two Cook Inlet pre
cincts of Kenai and Ninlleblk, show
ing that Sulzer has made a gain
of 8 votes in the two precinct*. Ke
nai was the precinct most feared by
the Democrats, having previously
given Wickersham practically a Unan
imous vote. •: , f
The returns from the outlying pre
cincts are apparently going contrary
to expectations and Sulzer has polled
a larger vote than evUn the most op
timistic of his friends had hoped, and
there is very little chance of the re
maining precincts returning a plura'
ity for Wickersham that will over
come Sulzer’s lead. The vote for tin
two precincts was as follows:
KENAI—Sulzei 7, Wickersham 21.
NINILCHIK—Sulzer 27. Wicker
sham 5.

Elizabeth Crane became engaged
to marry Paul Beele. She had a fost
er-sister Flavia. who was about to
return to America, whom she decided
not to tell of her engagement. Be
cause of her girlish charm and beau
ty Flavia won the hearts of all, in
cluding Paul. Together they spent
many happy hours. Finally Elizabeth
released Paul and he and Flavia were
married. A yachting trip was arrang
ed to which Flavia, Elizabeth and
Paul were invited. A storm at sea
wrecked the vessel, and Paul and
Elizabeth were cast upon a deserted
island. There they lived for many
months and the old love returned.
In the meantime Flavia was mi
raculously saved. A baby had been
born to her, and she had had a Vision
that her husband was saved. The cli
max is truly tragic, as well as artisti
cally dramatic.

EVEN KINGS MUST WORRY
OVER COST OF LIVING
These may be halcyon days for
workingmen, but they're perilous and
>ad days for monarchs. Not to men
lon the fighting sovereigns who are
ifraid of losing their jobs by losing
he war, and omitting Constantine of
3reece, whose Job is already at the
ranching point, we come to the king
)f Montenegro.
Nicholas is a doughty old chap
who has made considerable repuls
ion for himself by his pugnacity. He
darted the fighting in the Balkan
war. The present world-struggle no
sooner broke than Nick precipitated
himself into it. As a result, he is now
In the class of Albert of Belgium and
William of Albania—a king without
i kingdom. The Austrians occupy his
soil, and he’s a refugee hovering be
tween Italy and France.
Having nc kingdom, Nicholas has
do income. So the allies have put
him on a pension. Recently Nicholas
kicked for more pay, saying that with
the cost of living rising so he could
not live on what he was gettlpg. And
the hardhearted allies came back
with a demand that he explain what
he’d done with the funds they gave
him.
Such an insult! Kings were never
treated so before. It looks like the
beginning of the end of royalty.
