SEW ARD, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1916.
The coming of k convention to nominate a candidate for congress from
Alaska always bring* back to mind the great old days when all the white
men in the territory north of Juneau would be hardly enough to make a
convention as large as that so-called “Progressive-Democratic’* alTair that
was held at Valdez some days ago. and, if *twere bruited abroad correctly,
that convention had seven liberty lovers tor its make-up. Eighteen >ears ago
today who would have thought that a convention would be held today to nomi
nate a candidate for congress in the Terminal City of the Alaska Government
Railroad? But so it has happened, and many of the men taking part
in that convention today are men who have not chosen a new counttv in vain,
in the beginning most of the oidtimers hau hardships and homesickness and ;
all the rest but who, deep down in ins heart, does not feel that in coming to
Alaska when it was nothing and in staying with it as it developed •into a
commonwealth he has done something which after a!; is worthy and satis
f
factory, however little he might have contri titled to the upbuilding.
. When this is written the convention is still in session, o: course, ami the
deliberations will probably be proceeding when it appears in print, but theie
i> absolutely no reason except the obvious one jn suggesting again that as
the party system of government is the best that democracy has developed
it should be upheld as far as possible. There is no organization under the j
sun that is perfect but if members of any organization considered themselves j
at liberty to break aw ay from it at any time and to turn traitor to it the i
system would soon crumble and leave political chaos. The machinery ot the ,
Republican and Democratic parties in the i idled States supplies all the aid ,
necessary for really democratic government r" that machinery is exercised to
the full and properly. No one should consider him sell greater than a party
composed of millions and when he finds that pride will not permit him to
submit to the will of the majority he should have sense enough to eliminate
’* ] of trying to eliminate all the otliers. Many in Alaska and all
over the world have tried u» . , , , , ..... i
* «"irtv but they have failed in
variably.
CHORES GIRL BRIDE OF
MILLION VIBE'S SON TO
TR\ TO GET HIM BACK
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
SARATOGA. N. V., April 8,-Al
though her marriage to Louie Ream,
son of the New York society million
aire Norman B. Ream, has been an
nulled and. she says, $o0,000 has been
paid her by Reams. pretty little
Eleanor Pendleton Davidson. Broad*
IV :> in e>’urt here t»*
day to try and make the Judge give
her back her “Honey Boy."
“ 1 really love him, you know,*’
said Eleanor today, explaining that
$10,000, nor any other amount, can
heal the wound made by Cupid’s dart,
even if it was shot through the glare
of Broadway’s bright lights. Miss
Pendleton believes l.ouie still loves
her, too. but that his papa and mam- j
ma prevailed on him to desert tier.'
She says she didn't understand what
was happening when she signed the
annul intent petition. She wants the
annullment proceedings reopened. It
is charged that the annullment was
procured by fraud and conspiracy on
the part of T. H. Howard Embert, at
torney for relatives of the young
woman in the South, and W. W. Mil
ler, counsel for the Ream family.
Ream and Miss Pendleton met in
Thompson, Conn., the Ream country
home early in the summer of 1911, the
papers recite. He pressed her to
marry him, but she advised him to
wait. On Aug. 28 she agreed to be
come his wife Sept. 1.
He arrived on Aug. 31 at No. 206
West Fifty-second St., where Miss
Pendleton was living with her sister,
Mrs. Emory. He brought a wedding
ring, her affidavit recites. That night
they went to Hoboken, got a license
and were married by Justice of the
Peace Warcing. Returning to this
city they spent the night/ at the Fifty
second Street house. Next they visit- j
ed three Jersey towns. Then Ream j
went to Thompson, Conn., to tell his ;
father of his marriage.
He did not come back to his bride
nor has she seen him since.
