Better Times voting has gone completely out of control, with the result that the man is too occupied with gounting and checking votes received to make out a daily report for publication. Questioned as to standings, the counter-upper promised nothing, but hoped to make some report on the standings of candidates for to- morrow's Daily Alaska Empire “Political” Ad Appears The Mexico Tour campaign took on the appearance of a genuine po- litical campaign today, when a paid advertisement was inserted in The Daily Alaska Empire seeking the election of Catherine York. The announcement, according to the ad- vertisement, was paid for by the York for Mexico committee. This is the first example of big time electioneering in the campaign, al- though reports from Oregon and Washington state that it is a com- mon practice in the Better Times Drives conducted by newspapers in the two states. — e DUAL BIRTHDAY PARTIES OF 20 L YEARS AT END “Mort” Truesdell Misses: John Seisul on 64th Anniversary The 65th birthday yertcrday of M.

Three months ago Seisul was stricken with a paralytic stroke and went to Seattle for treatment. How- ever, both the doctor and the hos- pital to which he intended going reported that he never Shortly after his arrival in the Pu- get Sound city he closed out his account at a bank there, indicating that he might have returned to his native land in the Balkans. Mr. Truesdell has tried unavail- ingly to locate his old friend, and | is still hoping that he may receive a birthday greeting from him. ————— SHOP IN JUNEAU, FIRST! WAS MY The coffee was so swell at dinner last night compared with we'd been having for months that I asked my wife “"How come?” When she told me Hills Bros. I got all set for another spiel about the family budget. gs But I piped down plenty when she told me it cost practi. cally the same as most other coffees we'd been trying. Well, my face was red dll right, but my palate was tickled pink. Can you beat it?
