The manner in which the war has been proceeding sterns to indicate
that on land the opposing sides are pretty evenly matched. It is true that
the allied countries can place a larger number of men in the field than the
Germans and Austrians but it really looks as if Germany can stand them off
in spite of the reverses which have come.
It is now very evident that the Russians must have been severely beaten
in East Prussia for not only was that part of Germany cleared of the Russians
hut the Germans actually have Invaded Russian territory. The news of yester
day. however, showed that the Germans are again retiring but they are furth
er ahead than they were a month ago when the Russians were over-running
East Prussia.
It Is also becoming evident that the defeat of the Austrians in Galicia
was by no means so decisive as the Petrograd dispatches stated. It is at
least a month ago since we were told that the Austrians were evacuating
Przemys! but wo now find the Przemygl is being bombarded by the armies
of the czar and that Vustrian field forces have at least made the attempt to
relieve the place. This goes to show clearly that Galicia is by no means tle.tr
of Austrian troops. One other fact is apparent and that is that if the Germans
have to fall back from France they will be able to use the fortresses of
Maubege. Namur. Vntwerp, Liege and the others which were built to oppose
them and remain to shelter them. As things now present themselves they
make a person feel that victory will come to the side that can hold out
longest. Vividly decisive victories seem no longer possible.
Candidates for the territorial legislature are present in Seward at the
present time in unusual numbers and, it may be said in passing, that they
are apparently the kind of men who would give Alaska a fair, intelligent and
square deal. There is not one of them who does not favorably impress those
who see them for the first time. Indeed if the candidates ot the other dm
sions can boast of the same average the territory is safe.
l nfortunately the best men do not always win in popular elections. The
more democratic a government is the more likely becomes the election of un
worthy candidates. Very often men who have no other gift but plausibility se
cure the votes of the unthinking people and this is the reason why so many
scandals occur in the public life of the Cnited States and other nations which
are really and truly democratic in government. Hut not one of us who is not
willing to subscribe to the saying that wo want democracy, right or wrong,
but democracy.
Talking about democracy, however, reminds us that in democratic coun
tries men very often lose their democratic principles after election. Once
placed in power they come to the conclusion that the people gave them pow
er and that they will use the power in spite of those who conferred it. Hut
in Alaska it is to he hoped that the wishes of the people will he ascertained
before the passing of important legislation.

VOTE FOR
George R. Goshaw
To the Voters of the Third Division:
As it is impossible for me at this time, owing to the close of the
mining and business season at this placer camp, to come before you
in person, I find it necossary to make this announcement through the
medium of the press.
I desire your vote for Senator of the Territorial Legislature, from
the Third Division, at the Election on Tuesday, November the
Third.
My friends have not urged me to seek this office, nor does tho
office seek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want your support and
vote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have made no
pledges or promises to any individual, party or concern, and if elect
ed will go to Juneau, absolutely unhampered with ties of any kind;
to do that which will advance the interests of the whole people of
Alaska:—not to go there and vote “aye and nay” during the session,
but to work with a will and a knowledge of affairs, gained from a
considerable experience, especially in this Division, and continue such
work, throughout the year and entire term of office.
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely cast your
ballot for any of the other candidates for this office, THEN VOTE
FOR ME. Yours very truly,
GEORGE R. GOSHAW.

P. Noll, Democratic divisional com
mitteeman for the Southern end of
the first division, arrived in Juneau
this morning and took oath of office
as assistant United States district at
torney with headquarters in Ketchi
kan.
Speaking of politics, Mr Noll says
that the naming of Charles H. Cos
grove for the House, and Charles Sul
zer for the Senate has strengthened
the legislative ticket immeasurably.
