SENATOR WILLIS’ CHANCES
The New York Times in sifting the political situation
inspired by the events of the past few weeks have men
tioned ten Republicans who have been thought of as vul
nerable to Presidential likening. Some of them are aces
and some of them, at this stage of the game, are little
more than two spots. But it must be remembered that thk
game is frequently played in National conventions with
the dueces wild—which makes two spots as important as
the rest.
The ten men mentioned are former Governor Low
den of Illinois, Vice President Dawes, Secretary Hoover,
Nicholas Longworth, and Senators William E. Borah, Hi
ram W. Johnson, James E. Watson, George W. Norris,
Frank E. Wilson.
Of Senator Willis, who passed through Seward this
week, the New York Times says the Senator from Ohio
possesses one of the most carrying voices in the Senate,
and his favorite subject is The advocacy of the prohibi
tion cause'. His potentiality in the Presidential race be
gins and ends with the wet and dry issue.
IN THE YEARS TO COME
Hundreds of miillions of people, the world's great maj
ority-white, yellow, brown—are adjacent to Alaskan
shores. What a tremendous realm of commerce is in the
offing. In time Alaska, by virtue of her stragetic advan
tages, will begin to capitalize some of those millions.
THE NEXT CONGRESS
Whether there shall be a special session before the
Seventieth Congress regularly assembles in December or
not, it appears that the stage is being set for one of the
most strenuous sessions in recent years.
While it is conceded that one of the paramount issues
to be considered is flood relief, other problems, old and
new, will clamor for solution. Farm relief, tax reduction,
national defense, Boulder Dam and many other measures
will be put forward, not forgetting the perennial contro
versy over Muscle Shoals.
An indication of the fierceness of the impending
struggle over these measures may be seen in the renewed
activity of the “farm bloc,” whose leaders recently held a
conference in St. Paul, where it was proposed to combine
several issues in a sort of coalition program, whereby
support for one bill is sought for another.For example,
it is said that the middle west will support the Boulder
Dam bill and possibly government operation of Muscle
Shoals in return for aid from advocates of these measures
in support of the Me Nary—Haugen bill.
Even though such a coalition be agreed upon by the
leaders concerned, whether they can actually deliver the
votes in Congress in accordance with such an agreement
remains to be seen. But whatever the line-up may be on
the several important measures involved, it seems certain
that the Sixty-ninth Congress will have nothing on the
Seventieth as a fighting body when the record is finallv
written. J
. President Coolidge panned some gold, and the op
position press meanwhile panned the President.
The fishing industry of the North Pacific and Alaska
represents a turn-over of $60,000,000 a year. Alaska alone
produces annually $45,000,000 worth of fish, says a state
ment issued by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
The value of the gold shipped out from Alaska from
1867 to 1927 was over $360,000,000.
According to Seattle statistics 41,258 boxes of apples
have been shipped to Alaska' this season. Apple sauce!
