ADVANTAGES SET FORTH
The advantages of holding a party convention in con-!
nection with the primary law was manifest very strong
ly in the Democratic convention held in Seward and es
pecially in the selection of candidates. As near as pos
sible a fair distribution was made amongst the four di
visions and the communities in the four divisions.
Every effort was made to put the best man in each
division on the ticket. Also, the average voter not tak
ing much interest in party politics, has an opportunity,
by studying the platform, published in this issue, and
adopted to know the principles and policies advocated
by the Democratic candidates and therefore is better
able to form an opinion prior to going to the polls.
The rapid rise of John M. Dunn, formerly of Anch
orage, to the position of Northwest editor of the Seattle
Daily Times, is cause for congratulating the young man
by Alaskan editors. * Johnny started in his newspaper
career as a cub on the Anchorage Times under the tut*
age of “Ted” Bedell. His natural ability was at once
recognized.
The editor of this paper had the pleasure of being a
member of the same staff and always found Johnny a
willing worker and a fine boy.
May he continue to climb the ladder of success.
POLITICAL GUESSES
Political writers, politicians and others may be ex
pected to flood the news columns with their predictions
from now until the presidential election is over in Novem
ber. And about 99 per cent of all their guesses will be
worthies, as usual.
There is one strange thing, though, about political pre
dictions. No matter how wild they may be, there will be
some to believe them, and after time proves them to be
merely foolish guesses those making the predictions will
have lost nothing in prestage.
Ordinarily when one “talks thru his hat” and sub
sequent events show him up he is more or less discredited
as a prophet. Not so in politics. For example, Charles
D. Hilles, who declared on the eve of the presidential elec
tion in 1912 that Taft would win over Wilson and Roose
velt, is now getting considerable space for his forcasts of
coming events, in spite of the fact that in 1912 Taft car
ried only twTo states. Many >vho confidently predicted
the election of Bryan each time he ran are still doing
business at the old stand.

COLLEGE GIRLS TRKE
SECOND GAME FROM LOCAL
HIGH SCHOOL DASKETEERS
Though it is not meant for an alibi
yet all recognized the fact the Sa
ard girls basketball team, witfch lo't
to the clever College girls last night
by the score of 19 to 8, were not up i
cn their toes as in the game played j
Saturday night. The “pep” was en- j
tirely lacking and the College won,
hands down with ease. But the Col
ege girls were playing in superior
style to their former game and so it
is doubtful if the locals could have
beat them at that. Nevertheless, the
game was full of excitement for the
fans who rooted lustily for sides.
Katherine Horton, made her fi>’st
i
appearance in the local lineup and;
looks* like a winner. She behaved
well under big fire and broke up
many plays. Bert got an awful bump
when she collided with Parker, bril
liant College player, hitting the floor
on the back of her head with a tre
mendous wallop.
One techincal foul was called on
the College for coaching from the
sidelines.
