ALL IS NOT HARMONY
IN DEMOCRATIC CAMP
(Continued from page 1)
should have increased to 100,000
or 150,000 during the past ten
years instead of losing. Miners,
laboring men, were the real back
bone of the country. When con
ditions were such that the labor
ing men could have their own
homes, have their families here
and educate their children all
classes were prosperous. The
merchants and other business
men would get their share of the
prosperity if the work was done
by white men but not if Bohunks
and Chinamen were employed.
The government would bring
good men into the country. A
private corporation was never
known to do that.
Mr. O'Connor said the Demo
crats never allowed a convention
to be held without a light because
they never permitted a rut and
dried program to b»*. carried
through without a contest. N«i
corporation or nou-resideni
would be. allowed to write the
platform which would be adopteij
by I lie Yaldez convention.
Mr. Frame made a eharacleris
lic speech and was applauded b>
the audience, lie said the Dem
ocrats had been wandering in I lie
wilderness for i0 years but wen
going to elect a Democratic pres
ident now. Alaska was going t«
settle her own troubles and re
lieve the Seattle Chamber ol
Commerce of any further respon
sibilities. The (iuggcnhcims had
been bad enough but they ha(
brought millions into the coun

The speaker said he had spenl
too many years in Alaska to stani
for any one to come up froir
Seattle and say what was a Dem.

wise precaution to appoint thret

JUST BEFORE
THE BATTLE
"Politician" Furnishes Review of
Political Situation for Pros
pector Readers
The future is always full of
uncertainty; the political future
is beyoiAl even, the guess of those
who delve into that which is to
conic. The delegates to the Re
publican convention to he held in
Cordova could no more prognos
ticate the happenings of that
body than the writer can tin? do
ings in Mars. None of them have
had an opportunity In consult
with the Omnipotent One, nor
have lliey been taken into the
confidence of Mr. Shacklcford,
the rj. o. |». vice-regent for I Iris
neek o* the woods.
A week afro it. was generally
conceded lhal I hit Democratic
convention to he convened in Ibis
eily tomorrow, would be a lisl-i
less and tame aiVair, but I lie last j
i hours has demonslrated that
(lie Democracy is a fighting or
ganization, whenever they have
an opportunity to get together.
Scrapping is the meal upon which
they wax fat, although il gen
erally results in the vanquished
faring slim for a period to come.
A movement was set on foot
by a number of scattering dele
gations to show opposition to
both 11. W. Jennings and A. J.
Daley, with the result that Mar
tin llarrais, of Fairbanks, was
centered upon as the minority
candidate for delegate and Wil
liam O'Connor, of Cordova, for
national committeeman. Last
night John Moe, of Fairbanks,
who has been engineering Mr.
Harrais' campaign, expressed
himself as doubtful of his can
didate's success and announced
his readiness to return to the
Tanana valley, whereupon a
number of the Fairbanks candi
date's followers turned in search
of a new leader and late last night
centered on O'Connor as their
standard bearer, relying on a
hope of a stampede to the erst
while labor leader to perch vic
tory on iheir banner. When the
morrow came, however, alid the
available vole was counted it was
found that no progress bad been
made, ;iml lhal their forces were
still in a hopeless minority. Lat
er in the day, John Frame an
nounced that iu case the Jen
nings-Daley forces remained iu
lacl, there would be a second
Democratic convention, intimat
ing plainly that Iheir policy was
one of rule or ruin.
All this, of course, furnishes
fun to the non-participating on
looker or party adherent, but it
is creating a discordant house
hold and must ultimately result
in a llnal separation of one or
' (he other factions from the Dem
ocratic organization. As the con
vention to be held in the Ragles'
hall tomorrow is the regular
party function, it. will necessar
ily follow that the nominees of
that body will be recognized by
Ihe national organization. Kven
if it were conceded that Ihe mi
nor 11 y possessed sull'icient
strength In encompass llie «l«*f«*nt
al the polls, «»f Mr. Jennings,
thai would simply leave Mr. Da
ley, as national conuniHeemaii,
In dispense llie olTicial patron
age of I he lerrilory, in case I lie
democracy is victorious in I he
national campaign (his fall—a
situation which reflects Iml little
political sunshine to those who
may tonlemplale participating in
Hi" birth of a new and temporary
political organization.
It. is altogether probable that
Edmund Smith will be chosen
as temporary and permanent pre
siding officer, and lhat Charles E.
Davidson, of Fairbanks, will be
chosen territorial eomm.illecmnn.
The secretaryship of the conven
tion had no! been decided upon
al the lime this is being written.
II is also probable that among
other committees |o be appointed
there will be one to which will be
delegated the duly of perfecting
a* party organization, somewhat
on the lines of those in the states.
The convention will convene in
Eagles' hall at. 10 o'clock in tho
morning, and will bo called to
order by H. /. Cheney, territorial
committeeman. After a tempor
ary organization is perfected a
recess will ho taken to permit
of the several committees form
ulating their reports. It is an
