It reminds one, it is said, of the Hanna campaign for McKinley in 1896, However, the Roosevelt sentiment still prevails there. In Chicago, and elsewhere in the Middle West, like in New York there has been a tremendous increase in the registered voters. Both parties pre- tend to see in this a favorable indication. Repub- licans pretend to claim that the late registrations |are disappointed Republicans that are coming back to vote for Hoover. The Democrats claim it is due to an outpouring of “forgotten men” and new voters who want an opportunity to support Gov. Roose- velt. CONFIDENCE IN ROOSEVELT. Elbert Lawrence Carpenter, life long Republican of Minneapolis, one of the largest figures in the umber industry for more than forty years and large smployer of labor, President of five lumber com- panies, director in threz of the largest Minnesota banks, director of the Soo Railway Line and North- western Mutual Life Insurance Company of Mil- waukee, official of many civic, educational and religious organization, including the famous West- minster Presbyterian Church, and a half-dozen social clubs, has announced that he will support Gov. Roosevelt. He believes the Hoover Administration has been weak and futile and that his candidacy eral John Rustgard have attracted attention to that office so that it has figured more in the news than any office that is before the people of Alaska in the present contest except that for Delegate to Congress. In past campaigns Mr. Paul has been a Republican, but, he says he is now running without a party. He is centering his hardest attack on his Republican opponent. He has even gone so far as to declare that James S. Truitt of Anchorage, the Democratic nominee for the office, is a fine gentleman and qualified for the position. He urges voters, if they cannot vote for him, to cast their ballots for Mr. Truitt. However, the point of this editorial is par- ticularly directed to the charge that Mr. Paul is not qualified on account of residence for the office of Attorney-General of Alaska. While The Empire holds no brief for Mr. Paul, it believes this charge is highly technical. If it is correct, and Mr. Paul should be elected and disqualified because he prac- ticed law in Seattle for a time, it would be evidence of careless legislation. Mr. Paul was born in Alaska and has lived most of his life here. He served in the Alaska Legislature and has been active in Alaska affairs for years. As a matter of fact he is a citizen of the Territory and in every way, except possibly under a technical legal provision, qualified as far as residence is concerned for any office in Alaska. But the best solution of the Attorney-General- ship and the quarrel among Republicans gver thal office is for the voters to cast their ballots for Mr. Truitt, the Democratic nominee. He is a long time resident of Alaska, a fine citizen, a man of the highest integrity and well qualified professionally and in every way for the office. Those voters who wish to vote in such a way as to defeat Mr. Rust- gard ought by all means to cast their ballots for Mr. Truitt. A FINE OFFICIAL IN PROSPECT. One of the best officials Alaska has ever had is Frank A. Boyle, candidate on the Democratic Ticket for Territorial Auditor. Mr. Boyle has proved by his long years of service in the United States Land Office, the United States Commissioner's Office, as Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and as a member of the Legislature that he is efficient, courteous, conscientious, fair, broad and tolerant. Not a breath of scandal has ever been connected with any office that he has ever held or with him as a private citizen. He is absolutely four-square to all the winds that blow. If elected he will conduct his office in a manner that will satisfy the people and he will protect every interest of the taxpayers and citizens generally. He will make an ideal official. 4 offers no hope for the people. He thinks there should be a President, a Senate and a House of the same party, and the only hope for that is through the Democratic Party with Gov. Roosevelt leading it. This would indicate that industry has confidsnce in the ability and sanity of Gov. Roosevelt. The delegates who holted the New Mexico Re- publican State Convention and followed Senator Bronson Cutting from the hall, organized a Pro- gressive Republican Party and nominated a State ticket, have withdrawn their ticket and engdorsed the Democratic State and National tickets. Senator Cutting is on the stump making speeches in New Mexico, Colorado and elsewhere for Gov. Roosevelt. Will Rogers, who is touring South America, wires from Buenos Aires that he has not seen the United States mentioned in a newspaper since he left Brownsville, Tex. He says England has that country tied up tighter than Borah has Idaho. Three to one is the odds offered that Gov. Roosevelt will be elected President at the election next Tuesady. People do not usually wager their money unless they expect to win. The dispatches say there is more money offered on Roosevelt at the long odds than is ready to bet on Hoover. Complexities of the Tariff. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The tariff should be taken wholly out of politics. | It is incongruous that in the present age of scienti- fic research and application of scientific principles, business should be subjected to anxieties and un- certainties by contsant political disputes concern- ing this economic factor in world business. Non- partisan, disinterested public servants could adjust schedules to fit the relationships and conditions at any time existing between the nations. Just now the Treasury Department reports com- plaints of American manufacturers that “foreign competition already is wrecking the jobs and secur- ity of thousands of Ameican employees.” As opposed to this are the claims of those who assert that high tariffs must come down or we stand to lose the markets of the world. Japan and Czechoslovakia especially are indicted in this respect. It is a business problem. The hands and influ- ence of the politician should be removed from it. The best brains of the world should be called upon to deal with the actualities of this complex problem. i The interests of reviving commerce are at stake. They could be served through intelligent applica- tion of the scientific method. The world needs regulation of its tariff schedules, regulations not | subject to political fluctuations and changes. This | need can never be satisfied within the exclusive domain of ‘politics. 000 POLITICAL TIDE RIPS i It says in some of the big factories it is‘ ito carry his team, 20 YEARS AGO From The Empire November 3, 1912 ‘William Burke, employed by the Treadwell Mining Company, came face to face with three bears while| he was inspecting the dam in the Treadwell ditch. He fired one shot (at them and ran down hill. Hear- ing one of the animals close behind ! him, he raced for his life. At the bottom, well ahead, he turned to, look for his pursuer. The animal| had been killed by the bullet and| had rolled behind him down the steep hillside. Charles E.

It's the same old story that team work, back of “something on the ball” beats individual effort, par- ticularly when ‘the individuals making the effort are themselves discouraged and half-hearted. | | GENERAL MOTORS and MAYTAG PRODUCTS W.

As more than one voter has sized up the situation: “If they are everything they say about each other, it's high time the Ter- ritory had a whole set of new of- ficials.” inee to be in a favorable condi- tion. However, there are two big factors which make that conclus- ion unsound. First, Mr. Paul's candidacy undoubtedly will take the big majority of the Indian vote away from Mr. Rustgard. The former, who is strongly supported v Auditor Cole, will undoubtedly corral a large number of votes from the Cole following, votes In his latest Anchorage speech, {Mr. Rustgard invited the voters to compare his record as an at- torney and a man with that of his independent opponent—William L Paul. Press dispatches from the Cook Inlet capital give the impression he overlooked James S. Truitt, the Democratic nominee. Mr. Rustgard specified the basic qualifications as follows: “He (the |Auorney General) must not only be honest, he must be experienced and competent.” Mr. Truitt, and opponents do not question it, sesses all of them in a marked | degree. Primary election returns indi- :va:e the oversight, if there was iene, is careless, at least. Mr. Truitt, 1unoppos<\d for the Democratic {nominati polled 3,724 votes. Mr. Rustgard received 2940, almost 1,000 less, and Mr. Foster, Oppos- g him for the nomination, 1,431. Their total was 4381, or only 657 more than Mr. Truitt's vote. normally cast for the Republican *andidates. On the other hand, Mr. Paul is not apt to cut into he Democratic vote and his can- lidacy will have little effect on Mr. Truitt’s total, which, it is ertain will be much larger than t was in the primary since there ¥as no Democratic contest for that dfice, and no real reason for vot- ng on it .« There’s a third factor equally s important to the chances for Mr. Truitt's success as the lack of harmony among the Republi- cans. Admittedly, the swing in Alaska, like in the rest of the nation. is 1o the Democrats. It here is going to be a “new deal,” nnd most any kind of a deal in Alaska would be better than that which it has had recently, Alas- kans want t0 be in on the ground floor.
