HE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. XXXVIL, NO. 5557. " JUNEAU, ALASKA, WEDNESDA Y, NOVEMBER 5, 1930. ~ MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS DEMOCRATS GAIN SWEEP DEMOCRATS WIN CHANNEL TOWNS BY LARGE VOTE Juneau, Douglas and Other Precincts Give Majori- ties for Democrats Juneau and Gastineau Channel| yesterday piled up majorities for every Democratic candidate ex- cept four—Treasurer, Commissioner of Education, and two places for the House of Representatives. W. K. Keller nosed out his Democratic opponent, .}nthony J. Karnes, by 38 votes and Grover C. Winn and Walter P. Scott occupled third and fourth places in the race for Repre- sentatives. The Democrats, generally, carried’ every Juneau precinct and lost but two on Gastineau Channel. They carried the town of Douglas for the first time in recent history. The two | precincts giving slight majorities to the Republicans were: Douglas No. 2, and Salmon Creek. Juneau Vote Large The vote in the city proper was 1,222, the largest since 1926 when| 1,244 votes were polled. On Gasti- neau Channel 1,506 votes were cast in the Delegateship contest. Local voters gave majorities for Pemocratic candidates ranging from 34 for A. H. Ziegler to 544 for Judge Frank A. Boyle on the House ticket; 252 for Allen Shattuck on the Senatorial slate; 362 for Thom- ds Gaffney for Auditor; a plurality of 178 for Willilam A. Hesse for Highway Engineer; and 154 for George B. Grigsby for Delegate. Walstein G. Smith swept the| town and every Channel precinct except Jualpa, which was carried by R. E. Hardcastle, - Democrat. Grover C. Winn was the only Re- publican Houss “nomines to carry Juneau, leading E. L. Sampson, low | man on the Democratic ticket, by ! 121. Walter P. Scott tralled A. H.| Ziegler by 34 votes In town, but went into fourth place in the Chan- nel returns by six votes. Returns Show Upset The first precinct to be reported in this district was Jualpa, located | at the Alaska Juneau boarding, house in Gold Creek basin. Por| the first time in years this gave the Democratic ticket a majority. Thisi was the first actual evidence that the voters in this district were about to prove correct the conten- tion of leaders of that party, that this is a Democratic year. Thane, the second to report, added to the verification by going Democratic almost three to one. Glacler High- Way precincts—Mendenhall and Lynn Canal—joined the procession. Douglas No. 2, one of the two Chan- nel precincts going Republican, §temmed the tide momentarily. Sal- mon Creek, home precinct of C. T. Gardner, G. O.
