THE ELECTION'
Unofficial advices received by the
Daily Alaskan from the f°ur elec
toral divisions cf Alaska give Wick
ersham, candidate for delegate to
congress on the Independent ticket,
a t>lg majority in all the voting pre
cincts ia the First, Third and
Fourth divisions, except those of
Juneau, and Bunnell a small
majority in the Second. The non
partisan legislative candidates in
the First division appear to have
made a clean sweep with the pos
sible exception of the 6enate, which
is yet in doubt, -with the odds
In favor or Sulzer.
The election has fully demonstrat
.ed that a large majority of the peo
ple of Alaska are still loyal to the
friend who stood by them through
thick and thin, not only while in
Washington as their representative
from this territory, but previous to
that when he was acting in a
judicial capacity.
And now that the political atmos
phere oi Alaska has been cleared
fop the next two years at least
let us forget o"r differences in a
settled determination to do all in
our power for th.e advancement of
the territory as a whole and
cf Skagway and the adjacent coun
try, Canadian as well as American,
in particular.
There is an empire in the making
immediately to our north that is
only awaiting development to bo
come one of the greatest wealth
producers la the world and !n lend
ing what aid we can to the people
who are living therein and at pres
ent struggling against extremely ad
verse conditions, we shall be help
ing ourselves in the same ratio that
we do them.
CHIDE WAY OF V-OTING
The most crude and unsatisfac
tory method of casting ballots in
an election -we have ever seen, was
that in use yesterday in Skagway as
■well as in the other voting precincts
in the First Division. The us* of
two ballot boxes was bad enough,
but when it is taken into considera
tion that the ballots ou which
the names of the candidates of
the various parties (of which there
were four) as well as those of the
three candidates for delegate were
printed were white, it is not sur
prising that twelve of the people
who voted yesterday might as
well have stayed at home, for their
votes were thrown out by the el
ection judges.
Had the ballots for the delegate
been printed on different colored
paper from those used by the divi
sional candidates the matter would
have been greatly simplified, but
apparently no one thought of
this expedient before the bal
lots were distributd for use on
the morning of the election, and
then it was too late.
The Australian -ballot system was,
we are informed, used in the other
three divisions of the territory
through an agreement of all parties
interested, and we are at a loss to
understand whv the same thing
was not done in tho first division.
However it is too late to make a
"kick" now, and the only reason for
our doing so is to draw the atten
tion of the members of tho com
ing legislature to the necessity of
taking , before they adjourn, some
steps to have the Australian system
introduced in Alaska.
CHANCE.
It is strictly and philosophically
true in nature and reason that there
is no such thing as chance or acci
dent. it being evident that these
words do not signify anything real
ly existing, anything that is truly an
agent oc the cause of any event,
but they sign;fy merely men's igno
rance of the real and immediate
cause.—Adam Clarke.

MKTHUSAl.KII lived nine hundred and sixty-nine
years and wrote ail his letters as his fathers did.
Why shouldn't he? He had plenty (.f time. With
him it wasn't a case of saving time hut of hilling time.
But we don't live so long nowadays and most c? us have
gotten over the Methusaleh idea in the last thirty ;ear:;. We
have found that the time saved and the labor saved by the writing
machine is worth saving by everyone who has writing to do.
Typewriting is two or time times faster than pen writing, it is
easier and less fatiguing, it /sets Letter, and it is the up-to-date way to
write. Reasons a-plenty for buying a typewriter, don't you think?
■ The typewriter for which YOU and most people have
been waiting is the new
.Remington
JUNIOR
Typewriter
Think of it! Here is a first-class typewriter, a genuine Reming
ton, carrying the iron-clad Remington guarantee and embody
ing just the qualities you need.
The price of the Remington Junior is 550.00, cash with
order. How does it differ from the standard hundred-dollar
Remingtons? Only smaller, and lighter, with fewer parts — just
the machine you need for the simpler uses, such as manuscript
and letter writing.
• For S55.-00 we will sell you a Remington Junior on terms
of S5.00 down and S5.00 a month.
Better seize this opportunity and buy now. Cut out the
attached coupon and send it to us with S5.00 in cash, check
or money order, and we will send the machine.
