SEWARl), ALASKA. SATURDAY, DEC. 16, 1916
The delegate elect ion seems to be getting closer and
closer it' we can take the figures just received from Fair
banks as correct, but they probably do not include the re
cent Third division returns which gave Sulzer the best of
the bargain. It will be impossible to teli how the contest
has gone until we get the otlieial returns as telegraphic
messages are subject to mistakes in figures. The court
clerk t>i' each division receives the ballots from all the pre
cincts in his di\ ision and until each of these clerks has
acted and aiso the secretary of the territory we must re
main in doubt, if there is a doubt. W e thought the nation
al election close, but Alaska has it beaten by a block.
A paper over in Anchorage accuses the people of the
territory with ingratitude for not eleeting Cobb attorney
general ami the joke is too good to let it die. lo think oi
l obh or iiis followers accusing anyone of ingratitude is
about the most beautiful example of nerve. Cobb was ap
pointed attorney general by a Democratic governor be
cause the appointee posed as a Democrat. C obb was a
member of me Democratic organization and actually at
tended tiie Democratic convention in Juneau. Then, fail
ing to get ihe nomination, he revolted and became an inde
pendent candidate seeking the support of the Wickersham
followers. \\ hat an ungrateful part) the Democratic one
is!

The statement of McKenna, the former chancellor of
the British exchequer, that the British must pay their
uebts in American dollars from this time forward is an in
dication ol one of the great advantages gained by the
United States in keeping out of the war. If peace came
tomorrow this would be the only great nation remaining
in sou nil tiaancial standing and the longer the war con
tinues the more will become emphasized the predominat
ing position of this country. The fact that the dollar has
sunt rseded the pound sterling means far more than the
financial or monetary consideration that lirst presents it
self to the mind. To have the dollar take a leading place
means also that the world recognizes the fact that the val
ue of the dollar is secured by tile stability and strength of
the nation which issues it. It is not the amount of metal
contained in the coin. It is the nation at its back—the
