HE COULDN'T EXPLAIN
In referring in our columns the
other day to the zealous and pat
riotic '• ember* of U'e recently or
ganized democratic club at Haines
our space and time were so limited
we bad to postpone the relation of
an amusing incident that took
place in Juneau not long ago, and
in which one of the "democratic
club" members above nentioned was
the central figure.
Since the rumor reached the
north of the intended change in the
personnel of the United States Mar
shal's office for the first district
of Alaska, this gentleman has had
the United States marshalshlp bee
juzzing in his "lid" and has been
energetically soliciting the endorse
ment by prominent Alaskan demo
crats of au application which it is
his intention to put in .when the new
United States Marshal is appointed.
He was in Juneau, and being an
old time acquaintance of Judge R
W. Jennings of the district court
of the first district of Alaska,
brooched the matter of his appli
cation and asked the Judge to at
tach his signature to the document.
Judge Jenning3— "Of course you
are a democrat, or you wouldn't be
making the application?'"
Aspirant— "Democrat! Well, I
should say yes! My father was a
democrat of the old Jeffersonian
school, who never refused a drink
of whisky nor scratched a demo
cratic ticket, and I have followed

closely in his footsteps ever since I
was old enough to vote".
v Judge Jennings— "You are a res
idnot of Haines, I believe?"
Aspirant— "Now you're shouting,
judge; Aud I'm proud of it. We
can rustle up more good democrats
in that little old burg that can be
found in any town iu Alaska, of it3
size."
Judge Jennings— "Did you, at
the election of a delegate to con
gress in August, 1912, vote for the
democratic nominee? Of course,
this is a superfluous question, but
upon its answer will depend in a
great measure my action iu regard
to the endorsement you ask for.-'
Aspirant— "Judge, if 1 didn't
know you so well, and you weren't
such an old friend, 1 would take
your last question as an insult. You
can bet your boots I voted for you
at that election."
Judge Jennings— "I am giau to
know this, for there has been a
question raised as to the lagality of
the vote in Haines." The Judge
paused while he slowly sorted over
a package of documents which he
had taken from a pigeon hole in
his desk. Having secured the one
he sought he turued to the aspirant
and continued, "Here are the of
ficial returns of that election and
they show that jiot a vote was cast
for me, which, in view of the state
ment just made, indicates that a
fraud has been perpetrated upon the
people of this territory, and 1 shall
take immediate steps to contest the
validity of tho returns. I suppose
you would have uo objection to rnat
ing; au affidavit before a notary as
to your having voted for me at
that election?"
Aspirant— Well, Judge! —f —!
