EXTRACTS FROM SPEECH OF
Robert W. Jennings
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR
CONGRESS
“Although I am a Democrat and have been nominated by the Demo
crats, jet, if elected, 1 will not be the delegate of the Democratic party, but
the Delegate of Alaska. The Delegate from a territory can have no influence
on national policies, and the people of Alaska should vote for him who has
no grievance to air, and who can and will do the most for Alaska, for Alaska
has needs that must be attended to; her people are tired of the quarrel be
tween the factions of the Republican party, while each of the factions
abuses the other, Alaska suffers and her interests are neglected. There is
offeied to the people of Alaska a remedy for this unwholesome condition ;
the House of Representatives is already Democratic by 66 majority, and it is
regarded as a certainty that the next administration will be Democratic.
A-laska should have an Agent, a Delegate, who is in harmony with the dom
inant party; tins is Common Sense: If you wish favors from some one you
should not send to that person one of his enemies to ask those favors for
you.
“If elected, I will not go to Washington with a chip on my shoulder,
but will exert to the utmost whatever of ability, industry and tact I may
possess, to build up an influence which will redound to the substantial ben
efit of this neglected Territory; I will represent all Alaska and work for her
best interests, irrespective of party interest and regardless.of any personal
animosities.”—(Speech of R. \Y. Jennings accepting the nomination at
Valdez, March 30.)
