THE CANDIDATES
Defore the presidential campaign gets too warm, it j
wmight be well to attempt an impartial survey of the(
avowed aspirants, avoiding for the moment any partisan j
considerations. 1 l
Undoubtedly the most prominent candidates just j
now are Hoover and Smith. It is said that the public is1
favorably disposed toward Hoover, but that the political;
leaders are not so strong for him. Smith will undoubted-!
ly go to Houston with powerful support, but the Demo
sratic two-thirds rule is against him.
Lowden has permitted his name to appear on early;
primary ballots, but seems disinclined to make an aggres-j
sive effort for delegates at present. Dawes is held in fav- j
or by many, but he is supporting Lowden. Curtis and
Watson appear just now to be only in the favorite son!
class, but may develop national strength as the campaign j
advances.
Among the Democrates other than Smith, Reed of;
Missouri seems to be the most aggressive candidate, and
his recent speaking tour has apparently created a favora-j
b\e impression. A rather peculiar situation has developed
with respect to McAdoo. Some time ago he moved to;
eliminate himself from the race, but more recently there ;
were indications that he would be a candidate. This was j
again seemingly contradicted by his declaration for'
Walsh of Montana, who, like Smith, is a Catholic, but a
consistent “dry”.
There' are a number of others who have been “men-!
tioned,” but none of them has developed any tangible sup
port of consequence. As matters now stand, it appears
that the two standard bearers will be selected from the
list mentioned above.
Still, anything may happen in a National Convention,;
and a dark horse may appear at the last moment to cap
ture the nomination of either party, or both. Who can
tell?
There is plenty of investment capital ready to ven
ture into the mining regions. More promoters are need
ed to point the way to these profitable investment oppor
tunities. - .
An unemployment census would look still worse if
it included some merchants waiting for business.

I PROJECT ADOPTED
HOUSE COMMITTEE
MAJOR GENERAL JADWIN A P.
PROVES PROJECT; SAXMAN
PROJECT TOO EXPENSIVE
i
WASHINGTON, April 14. (&)—'The
Ketchikan Creek project, calling for
dredging the mouth of the creek, was
adopted by the House Rivers and Har
brs Commilttee. The cost of the pro
ject will be $272,000 to be spent in
deepening the mouth of the creek to
a depth of 10 feet at mean.' low water.
The co9t of maintenance will be noml.
nal for many years, Major General
Jadwin states in approving the pro
ject.
Major Jadwin said the development
of the fishing industry in Ketchikan
has been so great that its harbor facil
ities is not adequate. He declared
there was such a congestion that dam
age result in rough weather when no
protection is available from southeast
winds.
Saxman Harbor, he considered, was
too distant from Ketchikan activities
to be of service and the development
of a satsfactory harbor there would
be too expensive.

not gain relief from him.

(By “Babe” Hayes, Cordova’
R. C. Russell, Great Bend, Kansas, j
“I aim glad indeed to know that a nura-;
ber of Kansas people are making their
way through Alaska. Certainly there;
is no more beautiful trip anywhere
than that, and I know they will all
come away as enthusiastic as we are. i
Wish I could be back up there with
you through the open season and with
sufficient time to do some hunting and
fishing. I am planning to leave with
my family for a short trip to Colora
do. I know that our thoughts will
turn toward Alaska many times and
to the most pleasant reception and
many courtesies that we received and
especially at Cordova.’
