On April 2nd the citizens of Seward will elect a mayor
dtv clerk, citv treasurer, city attorney, and three council
i ten. The registration books are now open but they will
dose March. 30th. just a trifle over a month away. So far
there have been about fifteen who have registered. The
coming year will be an important one in the history of
Seward, more important than many will imagine, provid
ed the war continues. The most important matter will
be the finances. Seward must have conservative men,
men with business ability to govern the city. One must
register in order that a vote may be cast for these con
servative men. Every one in the city eligible to cast a
vote at the city election should register for all who can
compose the class responsible for the future of Seward.
So far the political bee has not buzzed to any great extent
but there will be candidates for the various offices and
perhaps many of them.
\\ hue along the line ot politics it must he remember
ed that a week from tomorrow is the final date upon
which candidates for the legislature, legislators, senators
and road commissioners, can find their declarations.
Seward should have a legislator in the next Territorial
Legislature. Kenai Peninsula needs its own representa
tive and unless Seward produces and elects a man to look
after the Peninsula’s interests, we will have none.
Viscount Ishii, mentioned in yesterday’s dispatches
as the new Japanese Ambassador to the United States, is
one of Japan’s greatest financiers as well as a leading
diplomat. Viscount Ishii was in the United States recent
ly and Japan and America were brought closer together
as a result of the important visit and treaties signed.
When the spy with the American troops now in
France is found, lie should be treated the same as the Ca
nadians did when they discovered a spy among them. He
was practically torn limb from limb and the dismembered
portions of his body thrown in all directions. The coun
try is at war and a spy is the same as a dreaded disease.
Next Friday, Washington’s Birthday, is a legal holi
day having l>een made so by the last legislature.
