On the other hand the Organiza- tion Seeking Modification announc- ed that it has sponsored the candi- dacles of 160 candidates for Con- gress and all but 16 had been suc- cessful. The Anti-Saloon League spokes- man said the “Prohibition cause| had weathered a Democratic land- slide and an unprecedented wet| campaign in a remarkable way.” Senator Morris Sheppard of Tex- as, author of the Eighteenth Amendment, said that Prohibition | is safe in the next Congress. The| election, he said, indicated the coun- try was swinging back to the Demo- crats. The Methodist Episcopal Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals said: “The election went Democratic rather than wet.” The National Temperance Union said: “While the ordinary reader might gain the idea of tremendous ‘wet gains, in reality there will be little chance of a so-called wet!

This matter was threshed out be- fore the recent canners’ convention at Bellingham, the Chamber was informed. Another letter made pub- lic at today's meeting was from Commissioner Henry O'Malley of the United States Bureau of Fish- eries, relative to thé operation of Japanese fishing vessels off the Alaska coast last summer. Float Is Completed The new small boat float north of the Alaska Juneau waste dump has been completed and there is over 400 feet of float space available for use, the Chamber was told by Mayor Thomas B. Judson. He said there was plenty of mooring space for all purposes this year and that additions could be made to take care of future needs as they oc- curred.

He and his son were guests of the or- ganization.

Bishop Antonin, who has been in charge of the church at Sitka for some time, will make his head- quarters in that city. He will leave here early next week for Sitka. He extended an invitation to local peo- ple to visit him there. i Lieut. Walter H. Hodge, newly assigned to duty with the Alaska Road Commission, was greeted by the Chamber today. He fills the vacancy. left on the engineering field force caused by the transfer of Lieut. J. G. Christlansen to the States. Hodge will leave shortly for an interior station for the win- ter. Dedication Plans Ready Plans for the capitol dedication ceremony are virtually complete, H. L. Faulkner, Chairman of the Dedication Committee, reported. The date cannot be determined un- il later as the ceremony will have to be held between the completion of the building and the moving of the various offices to it. Delegations from Ketchikan, Wrangell and Petersburg are ex- pected to- attend the ceremony. Every effort will be made to notify them of the date well ahead of the occasion. Ketchikan, President God- dard said, probably will send a large delegation. H. B. LeFevre was iadded to the Committee as a repre- sentative of the Ploneers.

Failure | WASHINGTON, Nov. 6—From; 1,dim'nemcal}y opposed viewpoints the Republican and Democratic spokesmen sized up the results of ‘Tuesday's election. ! The Democrats claim a clean-cut victory on the issues: “failure of ‘the Administration to meet its re- cponsibilities.” They were enthusi- astic about the chances for victory in the Presidential election of 1932 Republicans refused to consider the election as a rebuke for the| Administration, saying that they| expected the results to a certain ,extent because of their own differ- | ences and the business and indus-| trial depression.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5—John J. | Raskob, Democratic National Chalr-| !man, hailed the election as a “not-| able victory on clear cut political| issues untarnished by misrepre-| sentation or personal abuse from our side.” 1 DEMOCRATS SEE CHANCE IN SENATE NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 6— That the Democratic leaders see a» ;possible opportunity to organize the'! Inext United States Senate was indi- | I cated when it was learned that they {planned to bring pressure on Gov. |Huey Long to resign as Governor |and take the oath of office as Sena- |tor March 4 to break a possible even} |division between the Republicans| and Democrats as a result of the! elections. Gov. Long had formerly an-| nounced that he would complete| his Governorship term ending in the spring of 1932. { ——el BY DEMOCRATS IN TERRITORY Except for two places, Democratic territorial candidates were today clinging to leads over the Republi- can nominees, although their mar- gins had been cut into materially. With more than 9,000 votes report- ed and possibly 2,000 more missing, George B. Grigsby, candidate for Delegate to Congress, was 187 votes ahead of ‘Judge James Wicker- sham, Republican. Anthony E. Karnes, Democrat, was leading W. K. Keller, Republi- |can, by 241 votes for Commissioner jof Education. William A. Hesse,| Democrat, had a margin of 902 over | ‘Joseph Ulmer, his Republican op-| {ponent, and this was virtually cer- tain to insure his election. Cole—Smith Electzd | Cash Cole, running for re-election |as Auditor, had a lead of 525 over his victory was certain. W. G. \urer, was 1,948 votes ahead of R. E. Hardcastle, Democrat, and was elected. Mr. Grigsby's lead in the First Division late today was 368 and, it seemed likely that he would’ carry it, but by a reduced margin. Judge Wickersham was leading in| the other three Divisions.
