ALASKANS AT DKAKK RATIC
COWI'JNTlON
NEW YORK. Sepl. 1 When the
delegates to the National Conven
tion began to arrive, it was found
that everything was in readiness
for the reception and entertain
ineni of the Delegates from Alas
ka. Under general authority of
the National Democratic Commit
tee and the general auspices of the
New York Convention Committee,
a special Alaska Committee had
been designated and placed under
the able chairmanship of It. S.
Ryan -better known to old timers
as "Dick Ryan,’’—with James C.
flaffney as Vice-Chairman. and
Rruce Rogers, Secretary, all par
ticularly well known in the Sew
ard Pen insula. Other members
were Eugene Ailes. Rex Reach.
Stephen Birch, Frederick Ft. Cou
dert. Jr.. James J. Godfrey. Cleorge
L. (Tex) Rickard. Ex-Governor
Thomas Riggs, A. L. Scheuer, C. T.
Ulrich. II. I). Wal bridge, Herbert
Wall and J. C. Weir.
By resolution the Alaska Com
mittee had recognized the geo
graphical isolation. the political
difficulties under which life in the
Territory proceeds, and the hard
ships endured by its pioneers. The
•omraittee itself was constituted
ind officered for the most part by
lid-time Alaskans. regardless of
political affiliations, and who had
•hemselves mushed the long trails
of the North, who had heard the
bowl of the malamutes under the
stars bejewelling the high-vaulted
northern skies, of other sourdoughs
.vho in more recent years have
seen the ice come and go. and of
still others, residents of New York
City, whose principal interests are
<dentifled with the well being of
Alaska. And it had been duly de
ermined that neither time. ex
iense nor effort should be spared
n preparing for the comfort of
our friends and former neighbors
of the Northland, who were Dele
gates and Alternates to the Con
tention.
Accordingly an official "Igloo’’
vas established and opened in a
suite at the Hotel Belmont, the
leartiest welcome extended to the
arriving Delegates. their Alter
nates and their friends, and from
this “Igloo" the latch-string was
lever withdrawn in all the three
grinding weeks of the memorable
Convention, but kept open contin
lously after the fashion of true
northern hospitality.
It was found with much regret
hat several of those who had been
ifflcially elected as Delegates could
not attend. Among these were
the names of James McCloskey, J.
T. Connors. Thomas Ashby, W. W.
Casey and Simon Hellenthal. but
-heir places had been filled by as
signment of proxies to former Gov
ernor Thomas Riggs. Judge Robert
W. Jennings. John B. Powers, who
had journeyed from his distant
home at Eagle, Alaska, and Oscar
Ashby, who with John W. Troy,
eminent Alaskan editor from Ju
neau. and the Honorable George
15. Grigsby of Ketchikan, compris
ed the Delegation as it finally en
tered the Convention.
A formal house-warming at the
‘Igloo" was tendered to the Del
egation on the eve of the opening
if the Convention. Monday June
23rd.. with a buffet luncheon of
an abundance of viands, cracked
ice and White Rock water as aux
iliaries to such good cheer as can
be provided in these Volsteadian
Two hundred or more old-time
Alaskans and their friends attend
ed the reception to join their cor
, dial it y with tliat of the Committee
i;i a rousing welcome to the Dele
gates. The lavish arrangements
provided abundantly for everyone
who. came and a joyous time was
had until the wee hours of the
1 morning.
On Tuesday following the first
session of the Convention a for
mal dinner was tendered to ‘he
Delegates by the Alaska Entertain
ment Committee at the historic old
Lafayette Cafe and this was fol
lowed almost daily by a similar
function, including a dinner-dance
| at tlie cascades. Hiltmore Hotel,
and a Box Party to the -Milk Fund
| Boxing Contest at the Yankee Sta
' diunt. etc. Meantime continuous
open house was maintained at the
J Belmont “Igloo", with invariable
i refreshments and to which the ;
| Delegates always repaired when
i their Convention labors for the
day were over. Casual visitors
continued to come and advantage;

I there were heard many words t
strange and curious to the ears of
The C.uest Register maintained
for the period contains in addition
to the names of the Delegates and
several hundreds of their friends,
such old-time Alaskans as Ed. It.
Dunn of Nome. Harry D. • Cowden
and family from Forty Mile. Maj
or (!. Ross Corbin. Mrs. Laura F
Lutes of Skagway in ’OS, Harry (J.

iam D. Coppernoll of Seward. Jer
ry M. Casey of Treadwell. John L.
Steel of Landlook. K. V. Hoffman
of Juneau. W. H. Hyland of Nome
and many others.
In addition to the many occas
ions and functions provided by the
Alaska Committee itself, and to
that hospitality of the far North
kind so well understood and ap
preciated by its guests there were
many notable entertainment fea
tures during the progress of the
Convention provided by the Hen
era! New York Convention Com
mil tee. Deserving of special men
tion was the gala reception at tin*
Hotel Commodore, a visit to tiny
stone, the old homestead of Sam-1
uel J. Tilden, a trip up the Hudson
to West Point, witnessing .military 1
maneuvers by cadets, etc and the
truly delightful Garden Fete at*
Washington Square, etc. etc.
Reference has been made to th ? ;
non-partisan composition of the
Committee. Many of its members,
if not most of them, will he re- j
membered as good Republicans,
and it must not he understood :
here that they have denied the an- ;
dent faith. It means simply that I
they were glad to join the Demo-1
crats upon this occasion in receiv-]
iug Alaskans as Alaskans, and cer-j
tainly the Committee as a whole
cannot he said to have had any
partisan wish as to the Conven
! tion actions or judgments of the
j delegation.
A fitting conclusion to all the
1 festivities afforded during the
three weeks of the arduous labors
of the Convention was the fare
well dinner tendered by the Com
mittee in the memorable old Ho
tel Brevoort, in banquet halls
which have witnessed recep
tions to Princes, dignitaries and
eminent personages. Because of
the great demand for seats, the
covers were limited to members of
the Comnfittee. the Delegates. Al
ternates and their friends. At the
