City Council Gets
An Election Board
—
Indication Now Are That Notices;
Went on Time to Out
lying Precincts.
The city council met last night ami
selected a hoard of election for the
election of Delegate to congress and
for the territorial legislature. The
election will take place on November
7 and today would have been the last
day given to the council to fulfill the
law s requirements in connection with
the matter. The council also ordered
notices posted. The following are the
Board:
Judges: A. P. Brown, George Sex
ton and L. C. Bates. The clerks are
Mrs. Imogen Luces and Miss Sylvia
Sexton.
Deputy Marshal Ike Evans believes
the requirements with respect to the
outlying precincts were tiulfilled by
Commissioner Woolley in time but
there is no* positive proof of it, al
though it is likely* that it was done.
There has been, as was expected, an
effort made to show that dereliction
in such duty’ would not have disfran
chised voters in city’ or country’, but
the people holding this view are new
comers in Alaska ar.d are not aware
of the fact that failure to live up to
those regulations has disfranchised
voters in Alaska and. whole districts
in Alaska before. The promptness of
'the city council in taking action
shows it realized the seriousness of
the question. The law bearing on
Alaska distinctly says those rules
must be followed and excuses borne
out by laws of other staes are useless.
The fact that the Gateway drew at
tention to the apparent overlooking of
the arrangements first is sure to cause
an attempt to try to make the warn
ing look unnecessary, but the facts
remain. There is no official proof yet
that the notices, etc., were sent to the
outlying districts in time but there is
every reason to hope that they were.
Mr. Ennis can find no account of it in
the office.
Prohibitionists

SALOONS 10 OPIN
ON IDE OLD TIME
The saloons of the city will close
tonight at midnight according to the
old time, not according to the ridi
culous time set by a few faddists.
The saloons will also open on Monday
morning according to the old time.
Deputy Marshal Evans told the saloon
men that they could not very well
have two different times and all
should open and close together. He
asked them which time they wanted
to go by and nearly all of them said
they wanted the old time and so it
was fixed for all. This is the first big
knock at the childish absurdity of
changing time. The I arragut also
sch »duled herself to leave at ship’s
time which is the old time. But, any
how, the saloons will close tonight at
midnight, old time. Bemember that,
boys.
