that view upon President Roosevelt
and National Chairman James J. Far
ley, ’ declared Mr. Dimond. “1 hope
.his can be hrought about early next
r.ior.tfe.”

as h s stay here could not have beern ■
more extended!. He worked practical- 1
y.18 hours a da ywhile here, and then-,
was not able to do nearly all of the
things he had planned. He conferred
with business organizations here and
at Douglas.; with Territorial and Fed
eral officials, an dtalked political mat
ters over with National Committee
man James J. Connors and other
leaders.
He displaye dd keen interest in the
desires of local organizations for vari
ous changes and betterments and.;'

will endeavor to bring theem about.!

road situation in national forest areas <
of Alaska, brought about by restrict
ive legislation ldst year-and continued'
ttai ysear.
Mr. Dimond' left here about noon -
on. .the motorahip Norco, which wilR ]

;he national capital by February 20.
Concej-ning Mr. Troy’s appointment
-o the gubernatorial office, Mr. Di
nond said in his campaign trips last
summer and fall and in the current
our of the Territory he had found a
..ost pronounced sentiment in favor
.if it. “I should say that it is about
fit pt»r cent unanimous, and every
larty leader is outspoken for Mr.
rroy, whose services to the party in
;he Territory for some twenty years
lnv; been unremitting and of the
lighest order.”
■‘There is a general demand in all
jarts of the Territory for immediate
let on by President Roosevelt as soon
is he takes office, the Delegate-elect
idded. “If the special session of the
Senate, which will convene on March
1 to confirm.- President Roosevelt’s
Cabinet, continues right through until
.he proposed special term of Congress
\prii 10, it ought to be able to obtain
prompt action in this matter,” Mr.
Dimond said.
Regarding other appointments, he
had no comment to make. He will
await the recommendations of the
rerritorial organization before vgiing
:>ther patronage any consideration, he
laid.
