Damon and Pythias.
Senator Stone, of Missouri,
carried out today his purpose of
ndd reusing Iho senate on "The
Mollcrn Damon and Pythias and
Correlated Suhjeels Pertaining to
Current Polities."
"Mr. President," he 9aid "any
mail having even a meager
knowledge of ancient lore will re
call I he story of Damon and Py

Jonathan. A few years ago, the
American people and the civiliz

said it had been a case, of "two

"S<>, instead of peace, we have
had war," the senator continued,
"war with knives and knives to
the hilt. As a consequence of
thi^ ferocious contest, the coun

treated to a series of spectacular
vaudeville stunts in polities with
out a parallel in the history of
our country and which I devoutly

ed. "because I cannot believe that

ROBERT .W. JENNINGS
For Delegate From Alaska
i He has lived in Alaska for
li \ears—_eveil of I hose years
in .Juneau. None have question-,
ed or ean question his ability or
industry. If yon do not believe
1 hi-:, write lo Juneau.
2 In the pursuit of his profcs-l
mod lie has been called to nearly
every portion of the Territory,
and lie is thoroughly familiar
wills I he needs of Alaska.
.'1 lie has no grievances lo air,
no axe grind, and is free to
•erve Alaska, unswayed by per
sonal likes or dislikes.
i He is not connected, in any
.vay. willi corporations or other
persons seeking favors from the
government. While he has ever
been the friend and attorney of
I ho iaborer and the poor man. yet
ho is 110 blatant demagogue,
.sicking to array class against
(lass. He believes in "Kqual
lights for all, ami special priv
ileges for none."
" He is in political harmony
with the dominant party in the
present House of Representa
tive*. and willi what will be the
dominant party of the nation for
I tie next four years, and so, will
be letter able to get things for
Alaska than would a socialist or
a fepudlican (be ho a standpat

can.) What Alaska wants, it
wants now. We cannot wait for
the socialist millenium.
