judge John E. Hylan has boon elected mayor of New
dork and Tammany is again in power. John Purroy Mit-.
ehel was defeated and the Socialists polled one of the heav
iest votes that party has ever had in me same election.
And this leads to the caption of this editorial: Is
Roosevelt an ill-omen’ ’
Many will ask why and how.
Theodore Roosevelt went into the presidential cam
paign, tooth and toe naii and worked for Hughes. Previ
ous to that he had thrown his whole weight into cam
paigns. For the past number of years Roosevelt has lost,
in every political tight.
Roosevelt went into the mayoralty campaign in New
d ork City. Roosevelt worked for Mitchel. talked for Mit
chel and wrote for Mitchel.
Mitchel was defeated, the same as Hughes, the same
as others who have had Roosevelt as one ol thoi 1 sponsots.
Therefore is Roosevelt losing his grip on politics and
doesn’t know it? To the man far from the scene of po
litical campaign, such seems to 'C the ease. KoosiM.it is
brainy, a hard fighter, but he is losing. Whether he will
ever learn this fact, remains to be set-a. Man\ ot his
fights are misjudged and mistaken at!airs. He thinks
quickly and believes that others will think as quickly—
along his way of thinking. But the American people seem
to read his articles, listen to Ids arguments thru ihe\
think for themselves and—Roosevelt loses.
A
RIGGS FOR GOVERNOR OF ALASKA
Whether Thomas Riggs, .Jr., will be the next governor!
of Alaska, as exclusively forecasted in the Gateway yes
terday, remains to be seen. l'he Gateway has aeen in pos
session of many facts for weeks, which were given yester
day, but which were not “released” until a certain date.
Whether Riggs secures the appointment or not, something
should l>e done regarding the governorship. Gov. Strong's
term ended early this year. Many believe he should be;
appointed, others oppose his nomination. But something;
should be done to settle the matter, one way or another. }

Do your Christmas shopping early and you will not

Every old-timer will tell you that there is no easier
country in the world to make a living in than in Alaska.
Put for some unknown reason people will go to almost any
other part of the continent before they will come to Alas

If a class of settlers would come to Alaska with tin*
same amount of money that the new settlers are required
to have in order to make even a small success in Western
Canada. Montana, the Dakotas or Eastern Oregon, thev
