VOTE FOR THE RIGHT HENRY.
A sample ballot, which is a replica of the official ballot
that will be used in the election next Tuesday, discloses the fact
That there are two gentlemen by the name of Henry that appear
as candidates for members of the lower house of the Alaska
legislative assembly. To add.to the confusion, both gentlemen
have one initial letter that fs the same, namely, William P.
Henry and W. J. Henry.
In order to set the voters right with reference to this mat
ter, The Times will endeavor to give the facts, with justice to
both gentlemen concerned.
William P. Henry was duly nominated by the republican
divisional convention, held at Valdez, and is therefore the can
didate of the republican party for the lower house in the leg
islature. He resides at Seward, where he is engaged in the
real estate business.
W. J. Henry is a socialist and was nominated by petition
as a candidate for the lower house on the socialist ticket. Af
ter the petition passed to the bands of the clerk of the district
court, it was found that the nominee had not resided in this
division or a period of two years and hence was disqualified as
a candidate. In this situation, the socialist party is ignoring
the candidacy of W. J. Henry because of the technical fault
therein. His name does not appear on any printed matter the
socialists are circulating.
But the name of W. J. Henry will appear on the official
ballot, and herein lies the trouble, so far as William P. Henry
is concerned. Those who wish to vote for William P. Ilenrv
•should exercise care in marking their ballot, and not confuse
him with W. J. Henry.
Vote for “William P. Henry.”
“W. J. Henry” is not a candidate, because disqualified,
and if you vote for him, your vote is lost.
EDITORIAL PAUCITY.
The time comes once in a while when it is hard to think
of something to write about editorially. .Just sit down your
self, Dear Reader, and imagine you have about 15 minutes in
which to think up something to write about and to have it
ready for the printer. What woidd you write about?
Well, there are' three great aids to the newspaper drudge
when lie momentarily runs out of ideas. The chief aid is to
look around for some official to roast. Another is to make
more or less hurried comments on the news of the day before.
It would be all right if one could write any old thing, but you
must always keep in mind what you think the people who read
the paper want you to write of.
The first of the three aids is the most useful in some re
spects. Pick out some official who, you think, has lots of ene
mies .and let, loose, on Jum.Everyone will read it and every
anarchist will applaud. Of course, you should never attack
an official that gives you printing .jobs or advertising; that
would be bad business.
Pick on some abominable miscreant that refuses to come
across with the needful and never let up till he does. Be care
ful, though, that you never accuse him directly of any crime.
You nnjst always keep your eye on the fact that some rotten
legislature passed a criminal libel law that might put you be
hind the bars. Just hint at his Crookedness. Use a lot of
judgment. There is quite a little distance that you may travel
and still keep just outside the penitentiary gate.—Seward
Gateway.
Before departing from Seward, Chairman Edes told the
Seward Gateway, when asked concerning the matter, that he
wolild have to spend the most of his ,ime at Anchorage next
year, because the railway construction would center, more than
ever, abput this point. The indications poiftt to the fact that
the next year will be the'best in the brief history of Anchor
age, although, truth to tell, there is no occasion whatever to
complain of business since the town was established.
The beginning of work on the proposed harbor improvements
at this point, togetlier with construction on the proposed coal
bunkers, will lend impetus to business that will vastly aid the
community. We have been assured that this important devel
opment will be inaugurated ne*t.s®a$|n. With confidence, we
await the increased activities that a?e in store for us. Prop
erty—business property—will double in value, and the erection
of substantial-business blocks be undertaken;--;—
The Nenana News, published at the other end of railway
construction work, lias reached our exchange table and is a
welcome visitor. The News is a newsy, wholesome, well print
ed paper. It is issued by the Nenana Publishing company, of
which R. G. Southworth, formerly of the Fairbanks Times, is
the editor and manager. Success to the News. May it live
long and prosper.
The cold snap doesn’t bother “T. D.” at. all. When the
thermometer began to crawl down below zero, he just went and
bought a little coal oil stove that he lugs around with him,
giving bundled-up pedestrians the “merry ha ha” as he passes
them.

Frank Cooper, of the Central Bar
ber shop and Louie Jensen placed a
$260.00 bet on the Martin-Peterson
wrestling match this morning at even
money. Several other bets have been
made within the last fpw days and all
kinds of money is in circulation wait
ing for odds. However, Martin and
Peterson are too evenly matched even
up. Peterson had a fine workout last
night and a representative of The
Times witnessed the exhibition to
gether with several other disciples of
the sport. Peterson is certainly in
fine shape physically and is fast and
quick on his feet, in addition to
thoroughly knowing the game. He
had no trouble in taking care of three
of his supporters who are assisting in
the training.
In talking to Young Viking this
morning he said that in his opinion it
would be an even'match and did not
care to state his favorite but did say
it would be the best match ever pulled
off in this part of Alaska. Jas. Blase
—who is training Martin—says that
Martin will win and has backed his
judgment to the extent of several
hundred dollars.
The match was originally made and
plans arranged to pull it off in the
old Labor Union hall so the crowd
could be accommodated, but Jack
Robarts says he has arranged for 'ex
tra seats for tomorrow night to care
for the crowd.
The preliminary match betv&en
Aumann and Kincaid Is set vfor 8
o’clock and the Trig rrtatch "between
Martin and Peterson will immediately
follow.
George Irving and Frank L. Clark
of Juneau have made application to
the city council of that city for a
franchise for a gas plant and uthe
privilege of laying gas mains in the
city streets. They agree that the
charge for gas to consumers shall not
be more than $3 per thousand cubic
feet, and to the city for municipal
purposes not more than $1 per tlious
and cubic feet.
