"system" is to be put its perfect
working order again. A meeting
(by proxy) is convened, of the Re
publican Territorial conustittee. at
Seward, to formulate plans foi ■
staging the performance this year.
George Irving is trusted with ail
the proxies of the 1st. division, case
Chase Kenedy represents Use en
tire 2nd. division, ana we suppose
sente-on© represents each of the
other two divisions, which is a'
typical Alaskan representation in
cer.ventions of this kind and. in fact
all political conventions in this ter
ritory are conducted entirely too 1
much by proxies. The distances
to be traveled, and expense incur
red, make it prohibitive t© those
of limited means and independent
thought. The Monied Interests
have it wholly within their power
to plan and execute the conduct of
party conventions and campaigns,
in Alaska, under the present sys
tem, which is universally under
stood throughout tie whole terri
tory. and t© talk of uniting the
Republican party by holding ©pen
primaries is farcin!. Tee re is bat
one effective course open to recon
cile and unite the Republicans of
Alaska, and that is the direct pri- ’
saary. whereby all have a voice ir. _

voters of this territory have learn

prejudices. Hot-house methods of
conducting caucuses and forcing
nominations at conventions are jo©;
well known in this Northland to
admit of the forcing the continued
leadership of the w«H known wreck
ers of political unity upon a re
crganiiec Republican party, for Al

those of recess; years, if it is to

Roosevelt period. The* monied In
terests of Alaska know well their
advantage, tas-der existing condi

poorer classes to organise in a ter
ritory covering such a vast extent
of sparsely settled country. The
voting population of the Territory
are not ignorant as 1© the guiding
hand -s the present movement; 1
there is n© change in masters ant

MR. WEIGLE RETURNS
Mr. Weigle. the genial Forestry
Chief for Alaska, returned from the
states Sunday after an absence of
several weeks- Mr. Weigle left
here for Portland, Ore., on official
business and the rumor that he
would come back acompanied by a
partner, had no foundation in fact,
apparently. However, with or with
it a partner, his friends are glad
to see him again.
ALAMEDA HAS TROUBLE
LANDING AT SEWARD
Wd. F. Rokrbach, who returned
from the westward this morning
on the Northwestern reports that
when the Alameda attempted to
land at Seward the iast trip it
was found to be impossible. The
Alameda landed there just after
the dock fire had destroyed the
docks and warehouses and on ac- ,
court of the high wind was unable
to tie up to the ruins.
“Every time we would get within
heaving distance of the dock the
■wind would blow as away and fin
ally the Alameda was forced to an
chor," he said. “This was early
in the evening and the Dora came
alongside to lighter the freight.
The passengers warred to iand but

SEPARATE PEACE TALK
FOR BELGIUM REVIVED
—
THE HAGUE, Feb. 10.—Ger
many’s efforts to induce Belgium
to sign a separate peace have made I
important headway in the past ten
days, advices from Berlin claimed
tonight.
In spite of official denials from
Havre, King Albert has consented ;
to give his consideration to tenta- ;
tive peace proposals if they con- j
tain guarantees for Belgium's com
plete restoration and independence, j
Berlin reports.
Germany, it is understood here :
is trilling to make these concessions •
if negotiations can be completed
before spring.
Diplomats here have learned from !
sources of unquestioned reliability !
that Germany is willing to restore
destroyed Belgian cities and pay a ’
large sum of money to the Bel
gian government, though insisting;
that the payment be not consideied '
as an actual indemnity.
