G. 0. P. To Meet
In Petersburg
-x
Word drifts up from Ketchi
kan that the Ketchikan Repub
licans have invited the Republi
cans good and true of the First
Division to meet in Petersburg
beginning January 27th in a
divisional convention.
Following, a bit tardily, the
lead of the Third and Fourth
Divisions, the Republicans of the
First are getting away to the
stretch before the primaries
with an organization, which
they hope to perfect to the
credit of the G. O. Partizans.
At this convention a party
platform will be drawn up upon
which the several candidates
for elective office will depend
lor their campaign ammunition
for the next primary election
From a 11 indication, several
candidates will be endorsed for
office and no doubt others will
declare themselves as candidates
regardless of convention en
dorsement. J. E. Johnson has
been marked for Senator from
the First Division if Senator
Benjamin does not again go be
fore the electorate for election.
Whether Johnson will try to
make the grade or not, has not
been intimated. However, John
son would get a strong following
on the strength of his legisla
tive record last year—honest,
sincere and not to be stampeded
by hyphenate or federal politi
cian. Senator Benjamin has not
indicated whether or not he
will run.
Territorial offices to be filled
ere Delegate to Congress, Terri
torial Auditor, School Commis
sioner, Senator and four Repre
sentatives besides Attorney Gen
eral. Mr. Grover Winn and Mr.
Frank Foster are said to have
their eye on the office of At
torney General—but as only one
can be elected, it Is possible that
cne or the other will run for the
legislature. Mr. Keller no doubt
will be candidate for re-election
as School Commissioner and ho
will have Anthony Karnes of
Ketchikan to oppose him in the
November election.
The Democrats are making
effort (?) to stir up a contest in
their own primaries and give
vociferous exclamations that
they will stay out of the Repub
lican primaries. The Republicans
so far have not demonstrated
much harmony but it is expect
ed that with the convening of
the several Republicans from the
various towns that much of the
differences will be eliminated.
The line-up of the silent voter
is to be considered and no or
dinary platform is going to
stampede the voters to either
party.

pared and will introduce in
