Mr. Cobb then offered the fol

imously carried:
An Address to the People of
Alaska.
The delegates to the Democrat
ic Territorial convention called
to meet at Valdez March 20, KM 2,
having held the most representa
tive, and, ns we believe, the most
important Democratic convention
ever convened in the territory,
have deemed it proper to issue
this address In 'the people of
Alaska.
The delegates convened, pur
suant lo the cnll of the central
committee, at Valdez, March 20,
1012, in a hall provided for that,
purprpe. The delegates" wero
called to order by Mr. Z. R. Chen
ey, chairman of tho central com
mittee. The secretary then be
gan tho call of the temporary
roll, which had been prepared by
the centra) committeo, according
to the rules and usages of the
Democrats party, and of the last
convention, and which was made
»il> of the names of all delegates i
ami proxies, whose credentials
had I»«•«• 11 filed with (he secretary
of Ihe central committee, and
were not contested. Only two
contests had I»«m'ii tiled. one from
Cordova, ami one from Kllamar,
involving the right lo a I < >1 a I of
seven seals.
Wln'ii Ilie secretary began the
calling of |he roll. Win. O'Con
nor, John Frame, Martin llarrais '
ami John Moc, at the Im*;i<I of
a disorderly moh, inlerrnpleil |be
proceedings, by stamping, yell- '
ing and cat-calling, so as lo
drown (lie voice »»f ihe secretary.
^In .attempt was even made lo 1
forcibly oust Ihe chairman of Ihe
cenIraI committee from Ihe chair,
and seize Ihe credentials thai
had been tiled with the secretary.
I'uiling in this, the disorder was
continued to such an extent as to
proven I the organization of the
convcnJion all during the morn
ing hours. At noon the delegates
adjourned. Upon reassembling
at 2 p. hi. the hall was found in
possession of the mob, where
upon a committee of the Valdez i
delegation procured another hall
in which the delegates assembled
and organized the convention.
The people of Valdez, whose
guests Ihe delegates were, are in
no manner responsible for this
disorder.
The First and Second divisions
were represented by their full
quota of delegates, either in per
son or by proxy. The Third di
vision was represented by 27 del
egates, either in person or by
proxy. The Fourth division was
repYescnled in full, except as,to
Martin llarrais, delegate from
Chena, and a number of proxies
held by him, or bis substitutes.
Mr. liarrais had filed bis credcn
tiaJs ami proxies with the sec
retary, lint look no further part
in I be convention, although his
credentials and proxies were ac
cepted.
II will Mills be seen Ilia! Ihe
convention wa's fully representa
tive of practically |he entire I>eni
ocracy of Alaska.
As an integral pari of ilic great
Democratic parly, which is mov
ing toward assured victory ami
control of (he national govcrn
menl in (lie present campaign,
I e\ery delegate In Ihe coilVcill ion »
was imbued Willi a deep sense I»f j
I responsibility |o ihe Democracy,
ami Ihe people of Alaska. After
earnest ami careful deliberation,!
Ilic convention adopted ihcplal-j
f* rni, which, il is belie\ed. voices
the needs, Ihe hopes and the as-j
picalions of Ihe people of Alaska,
ami il is commended |o (lie sol
emu consideration of every cili_i
zen or the lerrilory. Upon ibis
platform. Ihe convention nomi
nal ed lor dcIcgaIe to eongress,
Mr. Itoberl \V. Jennings, ami
pledges Ihe people of Alaska thai |
be is in entire accord and syui-j
pal by with the principles ami j
policies ol ihe plal form, and il'j
elected by your sutlrages, will !
use every ell'ort lo sccurc Ihe en
act uieiil by congress of laws cm
bodying those principles and pol
icies.
I-' a I •
. ... I.MM,- 111,111 i( HiM ilUI* .MilS- r
ka lias suffered from mistreat-1
menl and neglect of ll«>pnl«lican :
administrations. Willi absolutej
power through Ilii*o«* generations
to give Alaskans I lie rights never
before denied American citizens,
and lo pass much needed laws
for I ho upbuilding and develop
inent of Ibe territory, the llepub
liean parly lias done nothing but
treat us as the spoils of admin
istration favorites and henchmen,
until conditions have become
longer unbearable. Alaska has
nothing lo hope from Ihe Repub
lican party.
Every sign of the times points
unmistakably to the election of a
Democratic president and con
gress, and if Alaska is true to
'herself, the time is at hand when
'sho can and will receive the rec
ognition and secure the grant of
those rights sho has so long de
manded, and obtain the relief she
so sorely needs.
As the first and most impor
tant step townrd that end, she
should have a delegate in con
gr«SH in full political alignment
with the next administration, and
who is <i| the same lime most (
heartily and earnestly in favor of
Ihe rights of Ihe people, and will
diligently work for Ihe welfare
and upbuilding of the territory.
Such is the candidate nominated
by this convention. To that ond,
and that Alaska may not throw
away the great opportunity now
bofore her, we appeal lo al| Alas- I
kans, regardless of formor party
affiliations, to support the plat- ,
form and candidate of this con- j
vention, and aid in the regenera- i
lion of this great territory.
