GRAY REFUSES
RUN FOR SENATE
Declines Nomination of Frame-Wik
idel-Dieringer Convention—Op
poses Democratic Split.
Representative Robert D. Gray, of
Katalla, who was placed in nomina
tion at the Frame-Wikidel-Dieringer
convention held here last month has
written to the members of the con
vention refusing to accept the nomi
nation, claiming that he is opposed
to the splitting up of the Democrat
ic party and stating that all Demo
crats and good Alaskans should get
behind the administration of Presi
dent Wilson and elect a Democratic
delegate because of the efforts of
the president to secure for Alaska the
much needed legislation that will
make of this territory a prosperous
commonwealth.
Representative Gray, in his letter,
after thanking the convention for the
honor bestowed upon him. says.
“My friends.,.were I to accept this
nomination at the hands of this con
vention, I would be doing you a
wrong. I would be deceiving you
and myself by pretending to believe
that the Democratic party should be
divided. I do not believe w'e should
separate. If there is a wrong in our
party we should reunite in our ef
forts to rectify it. Personal feelings
should have no place in party mat
ters. I know that all is not well in
the Democratic party, but it is only
when evils seem incurable that it is
time to split, and then split hard.
At this time however, when the Dem
ocratic party has been so victorious
in electing as good a Democrat as
President Wilson, I do not approve
of our locally adding to or chang
ing his party’s name.
♦ tf******
"But there is no demand for such
a course with us today. The Democ
racy of our forefathers, battered down
year after year rose up valiantly af
ter each defeat, ready and willing for
the fray to come, and fought till vic
tory crowned us with Wilson, whom
we all love, honor and respect—
Democrats, Republicans and Progres
sives alike. So much for the change
of name.
********
“Here is another very important
matter for us to bear in mind. ■ By
the time the next legislature is in
session, Wilson’s prosperity will have
set in all over our great country.
Our railroads will be ready to begin

legislature will have to frame the
laws for the just protection of these
men. It must make it impossible for
the greed of man to allow a repeti
tion of the acts like those of Colo

these men and want them by the
thousands, but we want conditions

“During the expedition of the ‘Fram’

the Peter product was consumed. The
eating chocolate in particular was a
joy for all of us. Its nutritive proper

it highly merits the universal renown
which it has already gained.
