Now is
The Time
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring it be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try it.

Juneau's Popular Son.
The Seattle-Alaska Democrat
ic leaders considered and discard
ed one after another men who
were likely to have strength with
the masses in Alaska, hut they
could come to no decision with
reference to the particular man
who was to have the honor of an
election in August next. In the
meantime there was out' man of
high attainments and exceptional
energy who decided that he want
ed the Democratic nomination.
He didn't ask anybody's permis
sion to run. hut just started in
to notify his numerous friends
that he was an avowed candidate
and desired I heir support. And to
his letters lie signed tin' name <• t"
Hubert \V. Jennings, of Juneau.
And then of a sudden it began
to dawn upon the leaders that
their work of seeking a candidate
of strength was at an end. The
people of the territory were de
claring themselves, and il was
soon evident that the popular son
was the lawyer and orator of Ju
neau. Ed. Dunn already says that
there is nothing more to it hut
the counting of the vole. Mis
particular friend. A. J. Daly, has
the proxy for the Nome delega
tion of 11>. ami Kd. is working for!
the re-election of Daly as nation

Iv natural to presume that he1
know.- how those solid in votes j
will he cast for delegate. Then!

indicated that In* is pretty solid j
in those towns. lie has many
friends in Cordova, while the
probabilities are that he will re
ceive loyal support in Fairbanks,
where he has been several limes
in connection with his profes
sion.
So af. (his writing it looks as
though Mr. Jennings would have
the unanimous nominal ion of his
convention. He has resided in
Alaska for probably 15 years, has
never been attorney for the cor
porations, and is a man of un
impeachable character and excep
tional ability. It is a pleasure lo
note the candidacy of a man of
his type. Should Mr. Wickersham
decline |<> again be a candidate,
and the Republican convention
nominate a man of strength and
ability, as il undoubtedly will,
whatever should be Ihe result of
the contest Alaska would he the
noiner and have a representative
at Washington who would gel re
