ent governor’s shoes, there is not the
ghost of a show now as the adminis
tration, in the first place, is too busy
to bother about making changes. In
the second place, he seems to think,
Governor Strong’s administration has
been so satisfactory that a change is
not in contemplation.
Mr. Whitely, as stated, is from
Fairbanks and has just come from
the national capital. While speaking
of Fairbanks it is recalled that Tom
McGowan who was here a few days
ago has become so thoroughly dis
gusted with the manner in which offi
cial democrats are conducting affairs
in the Fourth division that he has re
signed from the central committee.
