WHERE JENNING8 STAND8.
Robert Jennings has declared
he will accept the nomination for
delegate to congress on the plat
form of the Democratic party and
on that platform only. He say.
"I believe that Alaska ought to
have in the next congress a rep
resentative who will be in accord
with the dominant party; it is a
foregone conclusion that the con
gress and the eiilirc national ad
ministration will be Democratic.
At the outset of my candidacy 1
announced that my candidacy was
subject to the action of Hie Dem
ocratic convention, and delegates
to that convention have been
elected with that understanding.
If the platform lo be adopted by
that convention does not please
me, I will not be nominated; if it
does not please the people o
Alaska I will not be elected. If,
1 he re fore, I am elected, it will be
on t,he platform of llie Democrat
ic parly."—Robert \V. Jennings.

CONFIRMATION SERVICE
BY BISHOP ROWE
Last night at the church of the
Epiphany Bishop Howe adminis
tered the apostolic rile of confir

on the eighth chapter of the Acts
of the Apostles, where Philip, the
deacon, baptized many in Samaria
and the apostles—I lie predeces
sors of bishops—came down
from Jerusalem and "laid their
hands upon I hem" in confirma
tion; and how today, in the Church
of Christ, confirmation is admin
istered in the same way ami by
Ihc same power.
Rev. K. P: Zicgler assisted in
I he service and llev. W. 11. Zieg
lc.r presented the candidates. \
