SEWARD, ALASKA. Till KSDAY, APRIL 20, 1910.
The poor Third division got an awful snowing under yesterday. The
First. Second and Fourth had evidently everything ready and this division
had nothing piepami. It is possible that the true state of affairs did not
dawn on our home delegates until the convention proceedings had begun.
Otherwise it would be natural to expect that some complaint might have
been uttered to the newspapers or in public some way, instead ot hiding
everything and refusing reporters admission to their deep deliberation.'..
However, as the thing came off it showed that this division never had
a chance. It evidently had a minority of delegates which was separated by
.some considerations from the majority ami some ot the visiting 1 “‘legates
hinted that the majority in this division had ostracized that minority, but,
anyhow, all the speakers for the Thirl voiced the very proper sentiment that,
steamroller or not, they were still with the party, and that is me ojh\ spirit
possible in party government. I tat convention was practically over before
a visiting delegate set foot in Seward, anyhow.
Quite a lot is still to be heard from all over the territory about the new
departure of placing the nomination of a congressional candidate in the
huruis of a committee. It will, no doubt, give a handle to the Wickersham
forces should Mr. Wickersham not be eventually the candidate selected, but
Mr. Wickersham could easily have decided one way or another. After all,
no matter how constituted or comtucted, the convention was the convention
of the Republican party in Alaska. As very often happens, everything had
been cut and dried and many had to "eat crow," if one might use what might
almost be called the keynote phrase of the speeches last night, but it is the
only Republican convention we can expect for another couple of years and on
its actions wilt be based all the Republican activities should a Republican
president be elected. Mr. Wickersham was only asked, the delegates say, to
subscribe to the platform and to declare himself a Republican and the nomi
nation was his. This he failed to do.
PORTLAND IS OVER-KI N
BY CHINESE PHEASANTS
Special to Gateway by United Press.
PORTLAND, Ore., April 12.
Thousands of gorgeously plumed
Chinese pheasants infesting the high
ways and byways of tills city tod.<y
are making life a burden for Port
land housewives and property o».ners.
Apparently they Pc’ >ng to no one in
particular. Gam*' laws and ant'-fre
•irm city ordinances proven- their
slaughter. So the biids continue to
rip out spring gaid-rs, fly through
windows into the bosoms of families
and to play hob generally. Mayor
A!bee has retused S. J. Claridg2 am*

pheasants, but ho instructed the!

.ntters away as much as possible.
WOMEN FOR WAR
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
CHICAGO, April 11. — “American
women believe in military prepared
ness against war and they will have
much to do with shaping the military
policy of the United States,” today
said Mrs. Frederick A. Dow, Chicago
club woman, past general president
and present general secretary of the
Illinois Federation of Women's clubs,
who is expected to bring the matter
up at the General Federation Conven
tion in New York, May 22.
“American women do not want war
but they clearly see that the duty of
this nation is to be prepared for any
aggressor/’ Mrs. Dow said. “It took
our army too long to get into action
after the Columbus raid.
“I was talking with a proud mother
of four sons the other day and she
said: ‘I don’t want my four sons to
go into battle, but when their coun
try calls I expect them to go.’
“Once the danger asserts itself the
women of America will line up as a
unit, as they have done in European
countries, to repel the aggressor.’’
BILL PROVIDES FOR
AEROPLANE PATROL
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
WASHINGTON, April 12.—It was |
learned today that a fleet of fifty j
aeroplanes to patrol the Pacific and
Atlantic coast as auxiliaries to the
U. S. Coast Guard cutters, is the
proposition set forth in a bill to be
introduced during the present session
of Congress. The bill will ask for an
appropriation of $500,000 for the pur
chase ami maintenance of the fleet.
There are 5,000 miles of coast in the
U. S. and it is proposed to have an
aeroplane stationed every 100 miles.
Lookouts in aeroplanes would be
able to sight ships in distress much
more readily than the lookouts on
board coast guard cutters; and since
the air machine can attain a greaterj
speed than the cutters, aid could be |
dispatched to distressed vessels more
quickly. It is maintained that these,
coast guard aeroplanes would be a
valuable addition to the military
forces in time of war.
The possibilities of this fleet are
great. Equipped with searchlights at
night they might prove far more
adequate than light ships, and it is!
held that an aeroplane would be of j
great sendee to coast guards in carry-1
ing breeches buoy lines to ships
ashore, when the surf is running too
high for the launching of a life boat.
Mayo Dudley, a Washington news
paperman, conceived the idea, and
has been instrumental in the drawing
up of the bill. Coast guard officials,
the Aero Club of America and As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury
Newton have endorsed the proposed!
bill.
