THE ELECTION.
At this writing, the national election and the territorial
election remains in doubt, with the indications pointing to a
victory for Mr. Hughes, the republican candidate for presi
dent, and Judge Wickersliam, republican, re-elected to con
gress from Alaska. Complete retanu, may change this result,
but this was the situation this foCanfcdia, with enough states in
the union to hear from, however, to reverse the matter, so far
as the presidential election is concerned. This is also the sit
uation with respect to the delegate election, hence we shall not
attempt to claim either the election of Mr. Hughes or Delegate
Wickersham until more information is available. We shall
content ourselves with a discussion of the local result.
The vote of Anchorage is satisfactory, on the whole. Dele
gate James Wickersham got a plurality of 96 votes over his
nearest opponent, Mr. Sulzer, and this victory was gained de
spite the fact that Anchorage was chosen as the battleground
in which his opponents sought to wage, and did wage, their
most active efforts. Mr. Sulzer, the democratic candidate, ably
assisted by the democratic national committeeman, Thomas J.
Donohoe, were here election day and left nothing undone to
pile up a plurality for their party's choice. They wrere ably
assisted by a well-organized democratic club and appeared to
have plenty of finances to conduct a vigorous campaign. The
democrats did wage a decidedly, vigorous campaign, too. As
with the democrats, so with the socialists. The socialist can-jf
didate for delegate was on the ground and her \ supporters
worked hard and diligently in her behalf. Considering the
heroic efforts of his opponents, the ^delegate did mighty well
$ 1o carry the town, and his supportefs are to be commended for
I' their loyalty to him. Against better working organizations,,
$ the delegate’s supporters may be said to have achieved a dfe
'< cisive victory. Anchorage has reason to feel proud of its rec
y ord in this behalf Regardless of what other Alaska voting
precincts did. Anchorage has been loyal to the delegate.
George B. Grigsby, the democratic candidate for attor
ney-general, whom The Times loyally supported, got a plural
ity of 376 votes pver his nearest competitor, Cobb, the inde
pendent candidate, who in turn got a hundred votes'more than
Schofield, the Seattle candidate. The vote of Anchorage in
sures the election of Grigsby, and in his election the people of
Alaska are to be ’congratulated.
Frank B. Cannon got a great vote in this town, as he well
deserved, and his election to the lower house of. the. Alaska
legislative is assured. Of the 1,011 votes cast lie received 655.
This is a mighty fine tribute to this old-timer, to whom The
Times gave its undivided allegiance.
In the matter of the senatorship, the result was not defi
nitely known at the time of writing. In Anchorage, John Frame,
the progressive democratic candidate, led Dr. German, the so
cialist candidate, by 29 votes. George Dooley, the republican
candidate, got 165 votes, gaining a good lead over Ronan, the
democratic nominee.
William P. Henry, the republican candidate for the lower
house in the territorial assembly, received 219 votes, while his
colleague on the republican ticket, Joe H. Murray, ran some
what behind, receiving 204 votes, despite the fact that lie was
endorsed by the progressive democratic party, while Henry
ran on the straight republican ticket.
For road overseer, Thomas IT. Jeter, the Anchorage resi
dent. ran way ahead of his opponents in this town, but what j
he did in other precincts remains to be seen. Ed Wood, the
republican candidate, was not known to a majority of our vot
ers and did not make as good a showing as we had hoped.
The eight-hour day propositon gained a sweeping victory
in Anchorage and the votes revealed the fact that in the mat
ter of prohibition, we are largely in favor of it. _
NOTES ON ELECTION
One of the first wires to come over
the wires from the outside read: “New
York democratic headqutarters admit
loss of Illinois by 110,000.” Closely
followed by wire from' Baltimore that
. that city had gone strong for prohibi
tion.
The New York Herald that has been
making a consistent straw vote of the
country was among the first metropal
itan newspapers to concede the elec
tion of Hughes for president.
Colorado, the state that counts their
votes hourly, was the first state in the
union to report for Wilson.
Anchorage voters certainly believe
in patronizing home industries as the
large vote for Cannon, Price, Frame,
German, Hegner, Jeter and Hunter
will testify.
At one time last night there were
three men reading the Times bulletins
in different parts of Jack Robarts’
Billiard Parlors.
Chauncey Peterson said he used up
three rolls of building paper last night
in chalking up the Times election bul
letins.
The Detroit Free-Press announced
early in the game that they had nailed
the broom to the masthead for the
state of Michigan was safely in the
republican column.
The Anchorage Daily Times sent
out partial returns of the city vote
several hours in advance of any other
newspaper in the territory.
Big Variety Show.
“Ye Old Tyme Varietie Show,” in j
aid of the new Labor Temple is sure
to draw a packed house at the Em
press next Monday evening. A large
company of entertainers, quaintly cos
tumed, will provide an excellent enter
tainment t>f merry songs and vaude
ville sketches. The show will be stag
ed without any delay between the
numbers and is bound to prove a bril
liant success from start to finish.
