PROMINENT DEMOCRATS
SPEAK BEFORE CLUB
(Continued from page 1)
year ami it was bound to come.
The local legislature could do al
most everything in the way of
providing suitable laws for tin*
territory, lie urged the Demo
crats of Alaska to he true to the
principles of Jetl'ersonian Dem
ocracy and the territory could get
home rule from a Democratic ad
ministration.
Mr. .Jennings said the Demo
cratic eluh of* Juneau had also
drawn up a platform to present
to the convention. U was sim
ilar to the one prepared by the
Yahlex club and no doubt other
delegations would also have ideas
of their own on certain matters.
The Democratic principles of the
greatest good for the greatest
number would In* the keynote of
the platform which would be
adopted by Ib•• convention.
lie approved of a inoditical ion
of the lien laws so as to include
the claim as well as the dump
when under a |i<*11 for wages, lie
'Approved of a mine inspection
law and • Ii• I not see that there
could be any possible objection
to such a measure. The law was
in lorce in states where mining
was carried on and was needed in
Alaska to prop-el human life.
lie favored I lit- K-In mi r work Way
for pel'SOIIS •• 1111 • l< •>'<•« I under
ground. The law providing a
penally for >emplo\e mid employ
er for violations was a necessity.
Such a law was now in force jn
Utah and was beneficial
lie favorer! the passage of a
law compelling wages to be paid
in cash at least once in .'JO days.
Ho favored an employer's lia
bility law but expressed the be
lief that nothing could be done
to secure such a law until home
rule had been secured for Alas
ka. Congress would never gran I
such a measure as the big in
terests would fight the passage
of a bil| of thai nature. Wash
ington and other slates had
adopted a compulsory insurance
law which could be enforced in
Alaska by the local legislature.
Mi1. Jennings said there was
no room for discussion concern
ing the opening of coal lands in
Alaska. Every citizen fully realiz
ed the great injustice which was
being done the people of Alaska
by the system of conservation as
applied to Alaska by the Repub
lican administration.
He favored the construction of
the railroad by the government.
The Democrats would place no
obstacles in the way.
Mr. Jennings said I here was a
difference of opinion regarding
the taxing of halibut and herr
ing fisheries. Regarding the sal
mon canneries all Alaska was in
favor of a*fair tax being imposed.
The herring and halibut fishing
was done by individuals who re- j
mained in Alaska and paid taxes
Indirectly on the money made
from this source. In the case of
the salmon canneries all the
money was taken out of the coun
try and invested in Washington
pr some other stato and taxes
were paid upon it there. Senator
Jones had a hill now bofore the
senate providing a tax of eight
cents per caae. The speaker did
not know whether that was right
or not and believed the matter
was one which should be invest!
Killed and a suitable lax imposed.
He was opposed to the system of
paying taxes by making affidavit
of releasing spawn and favored
measures wliieb would prevent
tbe supply of food llsb from be
ing exhausted. The fisheries of
Alaska if properly conserved
would be a source of revenue for
the territory for all time to come.
Hatcheries would prevent the
supply from becoming exhausted.
Mr. Jennings said he wished to
make his position clear concern
ing the big interests and what his
altitude was concerning the («ug
genheims and other corporations.
He believed it was absolutely nec
essary that capital should be in
vited and aided to open up the
resources. No poor man could op
en a coal mine, operate rail
roads or steamship lines, die be
lieved the principles of the Dem
ocratic party of human rights
above properly rights. ('.apital
isls should be made welcome hul
lliey must keep within well defined
limits. They should not attempt
to tamper wilh the courts nor
strangle competition by unfair
mellmds. The 1 >emocrals did no|
waul to drive anyone from Alas
ka bill wanted lo build for the
future by applying the doctrine
of c«|ual rijahls to all and special
privileges to none.
Mr. I);ily. national eommillcc
mau. wiis I lie next speaker and
told the audience if was it good
thing in 1912 to lie a Democrat,
lie paid a tribute to Mrs. Helen
Mitchell McAvoy, who is a mem
ber of the club and was present,
by stating that one of the first
measures enacted by the local
legislature would be lo grant equ
al suffrage. The Democratic
house, the Democratic senate and
Democratic presidentwould favor
the Democratic delegate from
Alaska in making it possible to
extend the worthy women of the
north the right to the ballot.
Mr. Daly said Republican
stronghold after stronghold in
IIh» slah-s bad boon raptured by
I ho Democrats. lb' bad attended
I he convention in Washington
last January and found Ihe Dein
ocrals wen* a great, harmonious,
unint'd parly marching shoulder

vielory which was almost won.
There was no li«»| air about it.
I hi' parly was going lo win. Tin*
Itcpuhlirau parly was divided
againsl itself. The Tafl admin
istration had hern a I• >1 :iI. aliso
lulu. failuit.
Ilouu' rule was Ih<* all-iiiip<>rlunl
subject to Alaskans. The riylil
lo lias•> a voice in making Ihe
laws of I In* laud was a right
which no I rue American citizen
would Forego. Americans had
carried Ihe rifilil of home rule
across the conliucnl and lie be
lieved Alaskans were soon lo
liavi Ihe right of other Ameri
can rilizcus. The Democratic
admiuislration would not willi
tiold these rights from Ihe pio
neers of America's last frontier.
Champ Clark and Congressman
Underwood had promised Mr.
Daly that congress would pass a
home rule measure this session.
The bill might not ho all that
could be desired but it would lie
a step in (tie right direction and
a great help.
Mr. Daly (old of nil experience
ho font a senate committee of
wlii«*Ii Senator Win. Alden Smith,
of Michigan, is chairman. Tho
senator is apparonlly overbur
dened willi bis own importance
and minus ordinary intelligence.
II is puzzling lo understand how
an American could be so ignor
ant of any pari of Ihe world ami
difficult, to understand bow such
a fool could pel Into the sen
ale except by buying bis seal with
money which had been inherited
or furnished by Ihe trusts.
Senator Smith though! il might
he necessary for him to visit
Alaska in person before seriously
considering the queslipn of favor
ing territorial government for
Alaska, lie had asked the Alas
kan if ho was married and when
(old that he had been married in
Alaska and had two children Ihe
senator wanted to know if he had
married a native woman. When
lold flint Mrs. Dnty was born in
Oregon he inquired to which
Irihe her folks belonged. Mr.
Daly was cheered when he ex
pressed the belief that the only
way lo remedy Ihe situation was
to turn such men out put a Dem
ocrat at the head of the commit
tee, preferably some old Pike
county Democrat.
