THE ELECTION RESULT.
While complete returns are not available, sufficient is
is known at this time to form a fair estimate of the result. Tn
national affairs, it appears almost certain that President Wil
son has been re-elected. The contest was exceedingly close as
between Wilson and Hughes and in his re-election the president
has broken all precedents, in tha^ he has won without the aid J
of the so-called pivotal states of NewT York, New Jersey and
Indiana. The old-time campaign slogan, “As goes Maine so
goes the nation,” no longer holds good. The election has wrest-1
ed political control from the eastern states, bringing into great *
prominence the central and western states. Hereafter, in view
of the recent result, the central and western states are to be j
reckoned with. The east is no longer the “whole thing” in a ;
political way, nor is it in any other way, from our viewpoint, j
The election clearly demonstrated that President Wilson is
much stronger than his party and it likewise showed that Mr.
Hughes is much weaker than his party. The nation, all things
being even, is republican. There can be no doubt of that fact. J
What‘were the underlying causes that brought about the de
feat of the republican nominee and the election of the demo- j
cratic nominee, wdiile at the same time in state elections the ;
republican party, in republican states, without an exception, j
elected its ticket? Why did California elect a republican Unit- ,
ed States senator by an overwhelming vote and cast its elec
toral vote for the democratic candidate ? Why did North Da- j
kota and Kansas do the same thing? We believe that Presi- |
(lent Wilson’s victory is due chiefly to the world war. 1 his j
war has caused great prosperity in the various states of the |
union. Wheat is selling at nearly two dollars the bushel; cot-1
ton is higher than at any time since the civil war; great manu- j
factoring plants are working day and night in the manufac- j
ture of munitions of war. The people, as a whole, are pros
perous. Now, of course, everybody knows that the president
had nothing whatever to do with the inauguration of this world j
war, but the war has caused prosperous times in this nation and
Mr. Wilson happened to be occupying the presidential chair
when it began and since its continuance. The democrats em
ployed the slogan, “he has kept us out of the war,” to good ad
vantage. The people do not want war; they wish to remain at
home and take advantage of the good times. You can’t inter
est the farmer in war talk when he can sell his wheat for two
dollars a bushel, nor can you enthuse tin* cotton planter about
anything but cotton when the prices are so high. The manu
facturer who is working his plant day and night and reaping
great profits wants that condition to continue. No abstruse
politcal topic concerns him. He is thinking of today—not to
morrow. Taking it by and large, we believe the whole situa
tion may be summed up in the words of a republican manufac
turer. who said, when asked, before election, as to whom he pro
posed to vote for; “1 am a republican and in former presi den
rial campaigns have been an active campaign worker, because
I was interested in a protective tariff.' The war has brought so '
many orders to my plant that T shall be able soon to retire with
all the money T want. T am taking no interest whatever in this
campaign. T don’t give a d—n whose elected.”
The rag time bowling contest on the
Robarts alleys finished Saturday night
with Sheets and Hardy first with
1198 pins, Sheets and Graves second
with 1142 and Sheets and Hardy third
with 1128. Hardy made the high indi
vidual score during the contest with
227 and Povvery and Mills were tied
fofr second high score with 223. Sheets
bowled the most consistent game,
made the best average and is on the
out three ways. The contest was
warmly waged and will be continued
throughout the winter. Several other
matches have been arranged for this
week.
Mrs. Julia McFall and son Harold,
and Mrs. L. R. Moore, of Matanuska,

At last navigation is closed; the last boat is gone—and we
are not a bit sorry. After all Alaska is at its best in the winter.
All. of our holiday stock is in and Ave can say with pride that
there is no city in Alaska that has anywhere near the stock we
carry either in quality or quantity. Ever since we came here
our intention was to have a drug store Anchorage can be proud
of. We are still trying.
Of course you are going to send out Xmas cards. We can
show you all kinds of latest cards and booklets. An engraved
card with an appropriate inscription on it is the popular thing
among people of refinement and culture.
There is nothing like a live growing plant to make your
home more cheerful and bright. We received on the last boat
some ferns and palms. You will appreciate having one.
Parisian Ivory is very popular this year. It makes a
suitable gift on all occasions—and you do not need to buy a
whole set at one time.
To the lover of good chocolate we point to Augustine &
Kyer Olympian Victoria chocolates, a large box for $1.50. They
have no equal. They just melt in your mouth.
When you hear the names of Eastman, Victor, Libbey,

IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and* so unusually artistically attrac

should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
