SEWARD, ALASKA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1916
How funny it would lie now if the people had not gone
hack to the old time. How ridiculous it was ever to change
the time is now made clear. How egregiously absurd we
can become when we don’t use our noodles.
The difficulty in getting anyone to take a vacant place
on the city council shows that no one really is enamored
of the job. .Most people run for such places just to get
into an election.
If we keep on electing new men to the territorial leg
islature every time Alaska will soon have more ex-states
men than any oilier country on earth.
We may yet have quite a lot of trouble about that
delegate election, it is more than likely that some of the
outlying precincts voted in a manner that was not quite
regular. It has been known before that in some places
which were threatened with disfranchisement the papers
of election sent by the authorities were dated hack to
make the election appear legal. And there are many other
little ways in which the game may not have been properly
played and a chance left for a successful contest.
Several candidates are now spoken of for the govern
orship of tiie Territory. One is a judge, another is a mar
shal and even stili others are coming to be heard from
sub rosa. What gets ail the people who are candidates
for the job is the title. The present incumbent and others
are quoted as saying “there's no money in it." Working
for wages, they say. is no good anyhow, whether it is on
an extra gang or a gib ernatorial pedestal. But, oh, you
title! What a democratic country this Republic of ours
'*• _
Generals are like everyone else who takes a job for
the (irsi time. Every man who first takes up a job is am
bitious and works like the deuce. So did Joffre, von
Muck. French, Haiti. Nicholas, and now Nievielle at Ver
dun. How few of them seem to be able to keep it up like
von Mackensen or dim Wiekersham.
