AHEM! JUST SO !
The democrats of Haiues, and let
us here remark yarantUetically that
the woods down there seem to be
full of them, evidently feel that the
Wilson administration has reached a
stage where it is in urgent need
of their council and advice, and
have therefore banded togehter in
» home organization to be known
as the Haiues Democratic club. The
aims and object of the club are set
forth below in a telegram recently
sent from H lines to the Juneau
Dispatch:
Haiues, Dec. 14—The Democrats
of Haiues. A;aska, were called to a
meeting at the Haines Hotel on the
evening of Dec. 6th, 1913, for the
purposes of farming a Democratic
club.
The meeting was called to order
by Steve Ragan, who made the call
for the meeting, and aftei first
stating the cause and object of the
call the following pledge was cir
culated and signed as indicated by
those present;
"We, the undersigned, hereby sub
scribe our names as members of the
Haiues Democratic Club, of Haines,
Alaska, thereby declaring ourselves
to be Democrats, and declaring that
we will support th© Democratic par
ty and its principles, for the good
o this community and for all Al
aska. It is understood that this
ciuo is urguuuvu lur me
of supporting the Democratic ad
ministration, to consult and act to
gether with the several other Dem
ocratic clubs in Alaska; for the ad
vancement of the Territory as a
whole aud for the passage of whole
some legislation; each subscriber
hereto subscribing for himself and
for no one else."
The following signatures were at
tached:
Steve Ragan, J W. Combs, J. J.
Kennedy, T. R. Sewell, John Fair
child, B. E. Benson, S. J. Weitzman,
C. V. Willman, I.eon F. Ballard,
Chas. \V. Hockett, Jon Voeltl, T. D.
Page, Chas. F. Ber.sford, Bruce
Brown.
The secretary of the local con
vention was called to report the
minutes until an organization was
perfected and .Mr. John P. Lindsay,
the chairman of the local conven
tion, having removed from the city,
Steve Ragan was elected to act as
chairman until a permanent organiz
was perfected.
Following this ac''on Steve Ragan.
chairman, stated t'le glection of of
ficers was in order, and the fol
lowing were elected:
President—J. \V. Combs.
Vice President—J. J. Kennedy.
Treasurer—John Fairchild.
Secretary—Steve Ragan.
Asst. Secretary—B. E. Benson.
Board of Managers.—Chas. W.
Hockett J. W. Combs, C. V. Wool
man, T. R. Sewell, I> F Ballard.
It was moved and seconded that
pledge be kept and circulated for
further signatures. The secretary
and assistant secretary were in
structed to circulate the same.
It was moved and seconded that
membership be open to all legal
voters of Haines, or those who have
become residents of Haines who are
willing to sign the pledge above
quoted. The motion prevailed. It
was undei stood this was meant to
include the ladies.
It was moved, seconded and car
ried that next meetine be held in
tho parlors of the Hotel Haines
on Wednesday; evening, December
10th, at eight o'cc'ock.
It was moved, seconded and car
ried that club extend its thanks to
Mr. Hockett for the use of his
room for the purpose ol' organiza
tion and that it accept with th:mks
his kind invitation to use his rooms
for club meetings ••■ithout pay, iu
the future.
it was moved', seconded and car
ried that Secretary was to order
1,000 letterheads and 1,000 envel
opes from the Empiro Publishing
Co. of Juneau, similar 'o those o
the Juneau ib, and instruct th..
publishers to £vnd bill along with
the paper.
After several enthusiastic speech
es from the members tho meeting
adjourned.
Wouldn't that jar you?
There's a reason for it, however,
j Several fat government jobs have
j already been parceled o"t to good
A his kan democrats, there are sever
al more that are now on the slate
to be filled and Haines democrats
so far have received no share in
this division of the spoils of office.
The amusing feature of the af
fair, to one in the know, is, that i
while every one of the men who
have signed the roll as members of
the Haines democratic club were res
idents of the burg and voters at the
election for a delegate to congress
held in. August, 1912, the official
count showp" i.o a single bailo*
had been cast in favor of the dem
ocratic candidate, K. W. Jennings,
present judge of the district court
for the first district of Alaska.
Here are the official returns as
published in the Daily Alaskan of
August 14, 1912:
Wickersham, independent 42
The meat, in the cocoauut of their
suddenly aroused party fealty, how
ever, is that one of the prime mov
ers in the organization of the
Haines club is out for a United
States Deputy Marshalship and an
other would be willing to serve his
country in the capacity ol' District
Attorney in he place of Mr. Rust
gard or for the good of the cause
would even consent to accept an
assistant district attorneyship.
