THE WETS WIN ffi ELECTION
BY A HHDSOHE MAJORITY
At the municipal election yester
day to decide whotheT or not saloon
licenses shall be issued for the com
ing year, commencing July 1st, 1915
the vote was as follows: "Wet,"
2"3; "Dry," 133; challenged, plac
e* in envelope and not counted, 3;
not on census returns, votes place 1
In envelopes, 33.
The above is the ending of a
story that has been agitating (he
good Deople of Skagway for several
weeks as to whether the four sa
loons that are now operating here
should be given a renewal of their
licenses for the coming year or
closed out without recourse on the
1st. of July nest. The commencement
of the final chapter was begun on
Friday, May 14th, with the con
vening here of the First Territor
ial Convention of the Alaska \V. C.
T. U. under the leadership of Mrs.
Cornelia Templetou Hatcher, pres
ident of the organization, and
with an assemblage of It! dele
gates gathered from all points in
Southeastern and Southwestern Alas
k:i to assist in the work. The
movement was started with a street
iiarade and nightly meetings were
held, during the session of the
convention, at which the gospel of
temperance was preached to a large
assemblage of listeners. Consid
erable enthusiasm was aroused, al
though it was never seriously
thought by any one well posted
that the people advocating a dry
town would win at the election
that camo off yesterady.
In the meantime the liquor men
had not been idle and started in
on an organized campaign to re
tain the ground they folt might
very easily be caused to crumple
b«neath their feet by the tidal
wave of temperance that is sweeping
over the entire country. In this
th«y were assisted by many of
the busiuess people of the town,
who, while not addicted to the liq
O'.ir habit themselves, felt that it
might possibly be a little too
early in th$ history of a frontier
town to insist that the rigid meas
ure for the uplift of humanity
that obtain in older communities
should be adopted and put in
force here at a time when the mu
nicipality, and the school district
need a great deal more money for
their proper upkeep than can be
'oL'itlniatcly raised by direct taxa
tion of the property owners within
the corporate limits. Before the
eud of the presnt year there will
have been expended several thous
and dollars in putting in new side
•vilks and upon other municipal
improvements that have been much
needed, and without the $4,000 rev
enue derived from the issuance of
recuse it was thought that the
contemplated work would have to
be curtailed and the revenue for
upkeep of the school be di
minished to sncli ail extent as to
seriously impair ihc usefulness of
that institution. On these grounds
principally they have stood with
tin- liquor interest.?, as they had a
ptvfect right to do, and it was
this conservative element that de
•idod the way in which the major
I.y of the ballots were cast.
We believe in the rule of the
majority, and now tiiat the majority
.ias decided in favor of license let
lis all get in and bury the hatchet
on this issue for another year at
JJenst and work only for the best
•i.tt'rests of the towi. in other di
rect fous.
