DEMOCRATS WILL
MEET SATURDAY
Democratic Club Officers for the Com
ing Year Are to be Elected—
Frame Leads the Club.
John Frame, as president of llie
Valdez Democratic club has issued
a call for a meeting-of the members
of that organization to be held next
Monday at the city hall. The meet
ing is to be held at 8 o’clock p. m.
The notice says that officers of the
c'lub will be elected for the ensuing
year and that other business will be
transacted. The first meeting of the
club was held two years ago and the
Frame faction of the party fought
the Donohoe faction to a finish and
defeated Donohoe by a tremendous
majority. Since the tight Donohoe
and Frame have united, but it re
mains to be seen to what extent they
will be able to swing the volers in
line.
The fight at the meeting next Sat
urday will be watched with interest
by all politicians in Valdez, as much
patronage depends upon the control
of the organization. The anti-Frame
Democrats claim that it does not mat
ter what he does that no recognition
will be given Els wing of the party
by the Jennings-Strong-Davidson
Democrats, who control the territor
ial party organization, and are not
disposed to forget the split in the
convention caused by the Frame
Harris-O'Connor-Moe-Joslin Demo
crats and the nomination of it rival
candidate, who received 253 votes
in the delegate election of 1912. Har
ris received only 88 votes in the Third
division in spite of the fact, that 192
names were enrolled on the list of
members of the Valdez Democratic
club, and of the 88 votes 30 were
polled in Valdez and 15 on the reser
vation. Jennings received 28 votes
in Valdez and 13 on the reservation.
Jennings received 918 votes in the
territory.
The circular also states that the
Democratic ladies are cordially in
vited to attend the meeting and be
come members of the club.
FALCONER WIRED
FOR INFORMATION
Valdez People Knew He Was Gath
ering Data Against the Alas
ka Syndicate.
It was known here that the Key
stone canyon incident would be made
use of in the congressional fight ov
er the Alaska railroad bill when Con
gressman Falconer, a month ago,
wired to E. E. Ritchie a request to
send in detail the history of the dif
ferences between the Guggenheim
railroad and its rival, including the
Keystone canyon shooting and par
ticularly the facts upon which the
courts held the railroad company lia
ble for the injury to Phillips, one of j
the men shot by Ed. Masey.
In reply Mr. Ritchie briefly detail
ed the main facts of fthe railroad war j
and advised Mr. Falconer that he
could get a more complete history by
sending to the Circuit Court of Ap
peals in San Francisco for a copy of
the primed record in the case, con
taining all the sworn testimony of
both sides in the Phillips trial.
The Keystone canyon shooting oc
curred September 25, 1907.

RADIUM CURE
DID NOI SAVE
Congressman Bremner, Who Had
Large Quantity of Radium in
Cancer Growth, is Dead.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 6. Congress
man Bremner died here today from
the effects of cancer, which had
grown so near to his heart that
surgeons feared to use the knife and
they had therefore resorted to the
use of radium. Eleven tubes with
radium worth $100,000 were inserted
in the cancerous growth, but with
out the result of checking it.
The doctors resorted to the use of
radium because of the certainty of
death if the knife were used.
For a short time the congressman
showed marked improvement! but
when reaction set in he slowly sank
until the end came today.
Dr. Howard A. Kelly, of Baltimore,
performed the operation, and it was
at a private sanitarium he passed
away.
Not only was the amount of ra
dium being used in Mr. Bremner’s
case the largest in quantity and mon
etary value that has ever been used
in a single operation, but it is also
said that the growth is the most ex
tensive that has ever been subject
ed to the radium test. It was be
cause of this latter fact that the ra
dium was applied directly to the tu
mor by means of eleven tubes in
serted in incisions. The usual meth
od is to place the radium tubes at
some distance from the part affected
by cancer.
