SEWARD. ALASKA. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 5, 1016.
The result of the voting yesterday can be regarded as most satisfactory
if the usual one or two exceptions are made.
The votes given to Mr. Myers and Mr. Chamberlin are splendid compli
ments on the manner in which they performed their work on the council last
year. You know, it is an old saying that the heart of the people is sound j
and usually beats right if fairly treated. They were the only two members
of the city council that sought re-election and the vote proves that their |
actions wero ..L Myers a.- this paper said when he declared his candi
dacy. was always a gentleman as presiding officer, lie was always lair and
courteous, evu when opposed to you. and a decent opponent is never an
enemy. A1 Chamberlin got his big vote because A1 Chamberlin has always
done what he thought was right. Congratulations to them both. The C.ate
way is glad to see them both hold their places and the city will be the better
for it. Only one other member of the present council faced the music and
ho was a candidate not for the council but for the school hoard. Hank
Youngs wa- defeated for the school board when he would have probably
K-en elected to the council. There is a sort of sneaky feeling around the
public heart that the rulers of schools ought to be married at least and a
father of a family if possible, just as though marital or paternal bliss will
cause a man to he more interested in school affairs. It is not difficult to see
how being a fond papa might have this effect but what has the otner got to
do With it: Hut there was probably a quiet campaign made against Mr.
Youngs for certain political reasons a'so. He i.- a good man lost to the
public life of the city for the present -an able and honorable public servant,!
but let not this be taken to mean that his successful opponent might not
prove himself worthy.
In placing J. U Grad' at the head of the poll for council Seward has
done well and very well, it is a tribute to himself personally and also to his
work on the last council but one. William Sauers is a man with large in
congratulation- to the people. Frank Torrey also proved his popularity un
mistakably b\ his big support and he is sure to make good. In John Du

ami on the whole it can be said that the people manifested remarkable sani
ty yesterday, but one cannot help expressing regret that Fete Ogle could
m>t edge in. Still Mr. Ogle received a fine compliment and one that he de
serve*.
For city clerk a bright and clean-cut young citizen won out in the person o!
Otto Foehlman. but while speaking of this it might not be amiss to say that

Mr. Booker must not regard the vote cast for himself as personal. Lots of
other things with which he hud nothing to do were the cause.
Another man whose stewardship was approved is W. D. Coppcrnoll, the
city attorney and he no doubt deserved it.
The unexpectedly small vote of John Noon is hard to explain unless b>
the suggestion that a man can run for too many things.
The municipality now has as its directors a body of men who are bound
to make good and a body of men who can always count on the sympathy and
support of the people, including this paper.
