WE ARE PLEASED T$>
MAKE CORRECTION ASKED
Ketchikan, Alaska, Nov. 23, 1914.
Editor Daily Alaskan,
Skagway, Alaska.
Dear Sir:—Please correct the
following error in the Daily Alas
kan, November 14, in your next is
sue;
iJuder "Official Returns for the
First Division,'' after giving the
votes of each candidate and stating
whether they were non-partisan or
democratic, you Bay; "Mrs. Gibson
received 261 votes, leading all of
the candidates on the socialist
ticket save Bland, who iad 282."
By omitting the word "independ
ent" after my name it appears as
though I ran on the socialist tick
et and came out second, instead of
running alone, on a separate tiCK
et, which makes the proportionate
value of the votes greater. (
Very truly yours,
MARY GIBSON
KATSEK WILHELM AND GEN. VON MOLTKI
