An event, such, as happened yes
tetwy when x'our bir bouts tied up
a* tiie docks aud remained iu port
for a* least six hours, is something
th.it does not happen every day in
this port, nor in any port in Alas
Kan waters. Tile results of such
a ga'hering in our city, of at least
five u undred ueople, arei beneficial
iu an miwedia'e way as well as act
ing as an avenue for later publicity.
Wuh things moving ou the docks,
♦rains uu aiming over the tracks,
the wuiehoUse filled with: freight
li'r the interior, store's stocked with
nprtst ntative lines of goods, wares
and merchandise-, cfrituiuly the
nurist must have been impresseu
wi'h busy little Sfcagway.
An Impressed tourist is the very
Lest form of publicit* that one
cou.'d ask. There are thousands
of ueop.'e iu the States that are just
aching to hear about the trip on
tiie return. The tourists remem
Rts only the mos* impressionable
events In his triD and relate*
these with, .nterestiug detail to his
audi'crs. If every tourist who
vi»it< h in »he Garden City, yester
day, goes back w.th a tale of wou
1'er nbout this city and creates a
desire on the uari cl his auditors
to make t-i-> trir. nes» year, we will
then begin *o sec the active results
of s-ich an event. 1» is our wish
that it may be npe'.ted many time*
duriii' his seasoa. '
WILSON'S HANDICAP
Iu discussing 'he possiilitles ot
th* election of Novemer next the
firs' iact to be taken iuto consid
eration is that, with but major par
ties in the field, 't will be neces
sary President Wilson, in or
dtr to be elected, 'o poll not leeas
'Uan 1,200,000 more votes than he
did in the election oi 1912. That
is the big fact 'u this campaign.
l'n<Te were twenty-seven staite.*
outside of the solid south which, in
'he election of 1912, gave Mr.
Wilson 2S3 vot"*s, in not one of
which did he nteive a vote any
where approaching the combined
vo'e of Rooeevslt and Taft, err in
ouier words '.he anti-Democratic
vol". in fifteen o' these sta'es
tae Roosevelt vote was bigger than
♦nat for Taft, and in twelve of
♦ntm Taft's vote was the larger.
Had the combined Republican^ vote
rf those states been cast for Mr.
Taft in the elac'ion ot' 1912 he
would have had 379 electoral votes
to Mr. Wilson's 152.
The combined Repntlkan| vote in
Xew York, for example, was 190,
000 greater than the Democratic
vot»s; in Ohio It was 100,000
grea'er; in Illinois i» was 200,OoO;
1 i Iowa 120,000; in New Jersey, Mr
Wilson's home state, it "was 50,000;
iu Indiana 35,000; in Kansas 50,
000; in Connecticut 38,000.
Ia there anything in the record
which Mr. Wilson ha6 made in the
handling of foreign aiffairs, partic
ularly in the handling of Mxeican
affair; in the cabinet appointments
which he has made and the man
ner in which his aippcintees have
du-K.-harged their duties; or in the
legislative 'record made toy his par
ty iu congress, which has convinced
one million and a Quarter former
Republicans that Mr. Wilson and a
Democratic congress can administer
the affairs of the natiod better than
thev would be administered by Mr.
Hugnes and a Republican) congress?
