WITH DEMOCRATS
Chairman of Democratio Congres
sional Committee Writes of
Mr. Jennings' Election
Mr. Robert W. Jennings, Juneau,
Alaska, My Dear Sir:
The Democratic national con
gressional commit Ice is very anx
ious that you may be elected to
Congress. The House of Repre
sentatives at present is complete
ly under the control of the Dem
ocratic party, and a Democrat is
more likely to impress the needs
of Alaska in legislation than any
one else, because he would be
identified with the organization.
nome rule and local control as far
ax practicable.
The next president will bo Gov
ernor Wilson wo arc confident,
and you would he more in (ouch
wilh the administration than any
one not a Democrat. You could
be more effective in departmental
work thai, one not in harmony
with the administration. The fu
ture of your territory depends
much upon Democratic suprem
acy, and you, with your knowl
edge of conditions, would be of
I inestimable value in framing: a
I policy for Alaska which would
lend to develop its best interests.
The Democratic parly stands
for the people, and I know of no
place where those need more pro
lection than in Alaska. Alaska, in
the light of its own best inter
esls, needs an active Democrat
here and we hope it will send you
because we believe you can host
serve Alaska. Sincerely yours,
JAMES T. LXOYD,
Chairman Democratic National
Congressional Committee.
