ALASKANS
The snows of many years have come and gone since!
Alaska was purchased from Russia. Many changes have j
come over the land.
There are only a few of the oldtirners—the pioneers:
—left. The others have gone over the last trail; their
graves are deep—sunken under the soil; hidden beneath
the clover and the wild flowers.
But the hardy manhood, the warm and impulsive love
of freedom; the keen sympathy with the weak and suf
fering, all those noble sentiments that honored the lives
of those “Sourdoughs”— and of the living—are reflected
in the oldtimer's children; by the younger newcomers who
are today carrying on.
The spirit of those early-day adventurers is in Alas
kans today; nothing base, or sordid, or narrow, or mean,
but all inspired by the same good purpose and free-boni
spirit. „
• Alaskans are not intolerant or inhospitable, but kind,
generous, peaceful, enterprising, progressive, faithful to
the past; liberal with the present and hopeful of the fu
ture.
Alaskans, a wonderful people!
LINES TO ALASKA
In the pure air of Alaska where the sea and mountains meet,
And the snowT and blue-white glaciers are untouched by summer’s
heat,
There’s a surcease from life’s sorrows and a peace within the soul,
For such glorious gifts of beauty lift the spirit to its goal.
There are crags and foaming torrents, broad lakes of jade and blue,
Sharp peaks that pierce the heavens, pointing to the good and true.
Grey wreathes of mist surround them dark with rain and thunder
cloud,
Or again with films of gossamer their opal sides enshroud.
There are birds and beasts and fishes and the fertile valleys green
Are filled with farms and homesteads where fair gardens grow be
tween.
Everything that lives and blossoms in this land of magic light,
Seems to grow with greater vigor, resting neither day or night.
Wealth untold is still in hiding ’neath tire rock-ribbed mountain’s
sides
In great forest depths primeval where the unknown still abides.
There is never any sameness in the views that meet the eye,
For the atmospheric changes paint anew the land and sky.
Perhaps the lakes with wind are rumpled and the clouds make
vistas dim,
Or the water’s mirrored stillness shows deep rainbows to each rim.
Here the twilight meets the sunrise and the dawn’s slow sure sur
prise . £ JUB
Equals only in its splendor, glorious light of sunset skies.
Like the worth of all true beauty this eludes the. pen of man,
Only sight and heart can reach it—see Alaska if you can!

A Territorial Democratic con
venti6n to be held in Fairbanks
beginning January 12, and a Di
visional Convention in each of the
four Judicial Divisions in Alaska,
not later than December 10, have
been called by T. J. Donohoe,
chairman of that party’s Terri
torial Committee.
The time and place of each of
the four divisional gatnerings are
:o be decided by the Divisional
Chairman.
The purpose of the gatherings
is two-fold. In the first instance
the Democrats plan not so much
to reorganize their party as to
strengthen the organization they
have and extend its scope of act
ivity in preparation for next
year’s campaign- This phase of
the work is, of course, mostly a
purely party affair.
Pary leaders, undoubtedly with
the approval of a majority of the
membership, have turned to the
convention method of achieving
this object. In order to hold a
representative Territorial Conven
tion, it is first necessary to hold
Divisional meets, and before Divi
sional Conventions are possible,
precinct meetings for the election
of delegates must be held. All of
these steps attract attention and
create interest, politically, among
the ^ank and file of the party.
This is, of course, the first and
one of the major concerns of any
partisan organization
There will be nominated a can
didate for Delegate to Congress
and a full Territorial ticket, in
cluding attorney general, highway
engineer and auditor. A candi
date for Democratic National
Committeeman will be nominated,
as well as six delegates and six
alternates to the National Demo
cratic Convention.
A full Territorial ticket will be
elected, consisting of nine mem
bers two from each Judicial Divi
sion and one at large from the
Territory who will head the com
mittee as chairman
A party platform will be adopt
ed at the convention.
Divisional Conventions are to be
held not later than December 10
the time and place of these gath
erings to be decided by the Divi
convention take place, precinct
sional Chairman. Before these
meetings will take place for elec
tion of delegates. Each Division
will be entitled to send 15 dele
gates to the Territorial Conven
tion. Delegates unable to attend
may give proxies to others who
are in attendance.
In a statement issued from Ju
neau, James J. Connors, Demo
cratic National Committeeman for
Alaska, said the convention will
select the very strongest timber
for all offices from the highest
to the lowest
x uc p<n -—
vention system, because experi
ence has proved to It that the
primary system is not one that is
calculated to bring out such tim
ber,” the statement said. “In the
past 15 years In Alaska, it has
proved cumbersome, expensivt
and often failed to register the
will of the party members.
“So general has this view be
come, that last spring the House
of Representatives of the Terri
torial Legislature, by a decisive
vote, passed a bill repealing the
Territorial Primary law, and indi
vidual members of the Senate
largely agreed the move was wise
but certain technical obstacle*
prevented the passage of the
House bill.
“Of course, there will be parts
primary elections next spring a:
usual. But the Democrats intern
to enter them with lists of Divi
sional Conventions and Territor
ial candidates approved by the
Territorial Convention.”
