I lli; BATTLE OF BATTLES
THE guns now roaring on the Aisne will echo and re-echo
down the corridors of time. In years to come*!children will read;
in their school books of the mighty conflict in which empires faced
empires in which an empire met its doom or an^empire rose to be
another Rome amongst the nations ot the earth. Another \ ictor
Hugo will arise, his imagination tired by the thrill ot the Olympic
contest, to present to us in words the spirit ot the battle as he pre
sented that of Waterloo, and another Homer sometime will find in
the sacrificing hosts the foundation of another eternal epic.
It is impossible for the human imagination to contemplate the
grandeur, the'glorious barbarity, the bleeding torture, the struggl-j
ing fury. the desolation, the agony, the grief, the heroism and the
exultation which are blended on that t rightful field. I he results
will be so tremendous that the battle would Ik* unworthy of them
were it not the battle of all battles. On the decision rests the fate
of the France that has led civilization for centuries or the fate ot
Germany which stands on the pinnacle of the world’s progress.
Today or tomorrow we may read that the legions of the allies
have been hurled backward or that the Germans are retreating in
confusion in France while the Russian millions are marching into
sacred German soil in the east. In either event the crowning
catastrophe of all history will have to be recorded and the greatest
battle of all times will make the bloodiest chapter in the records of
the nations. _
The candidacy of Sulzer reminds one of the fact that the Pro
gressive’partyrmay be described as the waste paper basket ot'
American politics. Whenever a member of the two great national
parties finds that his membership in one of them becomes useless
he immediately joins the third. In all countries boasting of repre
sentative government there crops up a third party from time to
time. Usually the members of the third party are men who have
failed*to*satisfy their ambitions in one of the other parties and in
stead of attempting to redeem those parties they go into opposition.

NOTE FOR
George R. Gosh aw

As it is impossible for me at this time, owing to the close of the
mining and business season at this placer camp, to come before you
in person, I find it necessary to make this announcement through the
medium of the press.
I demre your vote for Senator of the Territorial Legislature, from
the Third Division, at the Election on Tuesday, November the
Third.
My friends have not urged me to seek this office, nor does the
office seek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want your support and
vote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have made no
pledges or promises to any individual, party or concern, and if elect
ed will go to Juneau, absolutely unhampered with ties of any kind;
to do that which will advance the interests of the .whole people of
Alaska:—not to go there and vote “aye and nay” during the session,
but to work with a will and a knowledge of affairs, gained from a
considerable experience, especially in this Division, and continue such
work, throughout the year and entire term of office.
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely cast your
ballot for any of the other candidates for this office, THEN VOTE
FOR ME. Yours very truly,
GEORGE R. GOSHAW.
