CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASKAIAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. LA GUARDIA FOR NEW YORK MAYOR. After the failure of the New York Republican leaders to get a suitable candidate to run for Mayor of that City on a fusion ticket, a search for which was continued until fifteen minutes before the nomination was made, Republican Leader Koenig, the Republican chairmen of the five Counties of Greater New York, the State Chairman and Charles D. Hilles, Republican National Committeeman from New York, consented to the nomination of Con- gressman Fiorello H. La Guardia, former Socialistt, supporter of La Follette in 1924, twice read out of the Republican Party by local organizations and once by the Republicans in the National House of Representatives. La Guardia will contest the elec- tion with Mayor James J. Walker, who is conceded the Democratic nomination. It is thought former Mayor Hylan, who was nominated by a “reform” organization and who sought the Republican en- dorsement on a fusion ticket, will withdraw and support La Guardia. However, George J. Hou- tain, Chairman of the Better Government Party, which nominated Hylan, said that La Guardia will be worse beaten than was Waterman four years ago. He declared that the Republicans had as well have nominated Mayor Walker and make it unanimous. It was only a few minutes before the nomina- tion of La Guardia that the Republican leaders abandoned the hope of getting Mrs. Ruth Pratt, present Congressman and former Alderman, to run for Mayor. Then the nomination was offered to A. H. Sohmers, Brooklyn Democrat who does not like Leader McCooey. Both of them, like Gen. Harboard, former U. S. Attorney Emory Buckner and a score or more of other prominent Republicans and Democrats, absolutely refused to consider the nomination. La Guardia is one of the most colorful char- acters in Greater New York. He is very independent, very boisterous and usually at outs with his party leaders. He regularly opposed the Coolidge Admin- istration, and roasting Secretary Mellon has been a favorite pastime with him. He is a violent wet and almost a violent radical. The New York Times says the leading Republicans have either directly repudiated his candidacy or they are ridiculing it in a way that is more hurtful than direct attack. However, La Guardia has a large personal fol- lowing throughout New York. He is admittedly a good campaigner and a vote getter. The New York Times says “he carries guns and knows how to use them in a political campaign.” He will make a fast, furious and effective battle. He is 47, a native of New York of Italian descent, was reared in Arizona, has a good war record including Italian decorations. However, all the New York papers say that Tammany is not in the least disturbed and the organization, and Mayor Walker himself, regard the latter as good as re-elected. DR. WILSON RENDERS A DECISION. Dr. Clarence True Wilson has decided that Am- erican ships in foreign trade are violating the Constitution and laws of the United States when they sell or permit the use of liquor aboard when they are beyond the limits of the jurisdiction of American courts. Attorneys for the American lines have convinced the legal advisers of the Govern- ment that the American passenger ships are within their rights. An American ship sails from Seattle for the Orient. She calls at Victoria and, strictly comply- ing in all things with the laws in force at that port, she takes on liquors. She proceeds to the Orient and returns but before reaching Seattle she again calls at Victoria and, again complying with Canadian and international laws, she discharges liquors that were taken on there, if any is left, and liquors taken aboard at other foreign ports. She arrives at Seattle later without any liquor aboard. She has violated no law at any port at which she has called. Dr. Wilson says this violates the Constitution and laws of the United States. Of course, Dr. Wil- son knows everything. It is not necessary to prove that statement. Dr. Wilson would readily admit it. However, Dr. Wilson really ought to tell the U. S. Attorney at Seattle how to proceed in order to induce an American court to assume jurisdiction in the premises. CONNECTICUT LOSES MANY STATUTES. An investigation shows that 1493 Connecticut statutes are void because the Governor had not signed them within the prescribed three days after they had passed the Legislature. The discovery of the wholesale illegal legislation followed a de- (few words n— T ——— very easily spare not less than 1,400 of the invalided laws. It is barely possible that the Supreme Court saw an opportunity to serve a great good when it decided upon its wholesale statute assassinations The fregency of those warnings from Commis- sioner Doran that Prohibition agents must obey the Constitution and the Supreme Court's decisions under it by refraining from searching a place for home brew without a search warrant, and must not |apply for a search warrant unless they have “sat- isfactory evidence that unlawful sale has been made,” suggests that there must be a lot of dry y |officers who want to nullify the Constitution. Victory or defeat at the polls s not always conclusive of everything. Former President Coolidge is said to be getting one dollar word for his two dollars a word for his is running in the Saturday Al Smith is | autobiography getting that "I‘th'mm: Post Another succe tory which may be told in a F. H. Ecker, new President of the Metro- politan Life, began with the company as an office boy at $4 a week. His new job pays $200,000 a year, The “Blue Ribbon.” (Boston News Bureau.) Headlines in the press everywhere go naturally with the mythical “blue ribbon” of the Atlantic which the Bremen has just captured. There is a long record of rivalry and of record-paring on the ocean lanes behind this achievement, since the mid- dle of the last century when the elapsed time was about double the four days, 17 hours and 42 minutes just scored. There is just as eager speculation as to what the future competition will bring. Nearly nine hours off the previous record is a substantial margin, yet it seems at the moment not to be conclusive. The Bremen was not utterly “forced,” and may yet do better. So may her lately fire-damaged sister Europa. There is no assurance that the Mauretania is “through,” especially since her recent revamping. And the British have an- other entry in the grooming. Evidently there is ahead some sharp dueling for the supremacy which has come through the decades to be invested with so much popular acclaim and which is set so much store by in these days of advertising, of speed and of travel competition. A few years since there was some arguing that with after-war needs for economy the vogue would be for relatively small and not superlatively speedy ships. Insteal we see that race once again in craft that range around 50,000 tons and approach 30 knots. Germany is welcomed and admired as she could not have been not so very long ago. The universal sentiment is not so much magnanimous as appre- ciative. The Germany that now competes in fast liners is not the same Germany that once competed in big battleships and would not listen to any argu- ment for a ‘holiday.” In the mercantile marine there is no banning save as plain business may dictate. In that newly intensified competition there may be new lessons as to the possibilities and profit in that business—in which our private United States Lines contemplates listing two new entries—as well as in maval architecture as suggested by the bow and stern cutter effects of the Bremen. There is| also the old turbine-Diesel debate renewed, with the Bremen aligned with the former. It seems to be a stirring race era that is opening on the sea. The battleships as well as many liner prizes were taken away from the old Germany. Now she has a restored, modern merchant marine from which honors and profits can be taken only in the free fair fights of peace and on open seas, The Point of View. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) It is not strange, then, that General Dawes, Ambassador to the Court of St. James, should have chosen to preserve his visible means of support invisible, so to speak, upon the occasion of his of- ficial presentation at the Court of the world’s great- est empire. General Dawes has had his habits, principles and convictions nurtured in a rugged democracy, in which abbreviated pants, no matter how beribboned and adorned, are looked upon with a coldly cynical eye—except when such may be displayed to the ap- breciative visitors to the circus, the theatre, and the mimic stage. So General Dawes wore his pants “cut long.” No one knows whether he is the possessor of hairy of freckled shins, as a well regulated Highlander has the right to be. So far as the record goes, the British public is left in doubt as to the quality and substance of his extremal contours. The world knows all about his pipe, his ability to cuss un- profanely, his distinguished intellectual equipment, but as to what his legs may be in shape and sym- metry we know not at all. Which, perhaps, is just as well. They are his. We know that he has them, and that should it become necessary in the in- terests of the United States, he can and will kick as strenuously and effectively as a first-class Am- bassador ought to do. Why They Fail. (Valdez Miner.) Some men habitually get better than an even break when it comes to holding cards, but they never win, because they do not play the game with skill. 8o it is in business. Some have the advan- tage of location, fine fixtures, good display, but they do not succeed because they dont’ play the game—they don't advertise. _— Another means of solving the empioyment prob- lem is suggested. Let all who are out of work enlist in the prohibition enforcement army. — (Boston Transcript.)

Hats Off to Him Some motorists, we know, are meaner'n snakes, But that's not true of Elmer Glover— For when he honks before he tries to pass, Sound like he’s saying—“PLEASE, move over!” Mean Brute “If you don't like the kind of stuff broadcast over the radio why do you have one?” demanded the neighbor. “Because,” growled Mr. Grouch, “I get a lot of pleasure out’a hav- ing one loud speaker in the house I CAN shut up.” What Parents Know “Now, listen, get home early!” is The parents final warning— And kids do get home early—but It's early in the morning.

The honeymoon is heading down the road when the groom begins to realize that the only part of him that is supposed to be in on a “conversation” is his ears. Maybe some of the girls roll ‘em down because it is cooler, but a lot of them do it only because they think it makes 'em look g little more daring. It almost has reached the point where the feminine legs are just about as much of a treat as those of a table. —— REBEKA: SOC1aL All Odd Fellows, Rebekahs and visiting members on Gastineau Channel are cordially inviteq to spend a social evening op Wednes- day, August 14th, 8:30 p. m, 1. o, O.
