The Democrat; held their rally
at the Auditorium Friday night,
C. E. Eunnsii, candidate for del
egate and It. F. Roth were th»
speakers, while Falcon Joslin act
ed as chairman, and in that capa
city taking occasion to make the
usual and ex ^eeted nreliniinarv
2nd between thus remarks.
The audience was small and
* the house was cold ar.d the spea
kers had ;; hard time arousing on
t'nusiasm enough to warm it up.
IEr. Bunnell of course made
the principal address. He eulo
gized President Wilson and
spoke- of Democratic prosperity
which caused a lot of us who ne
ver had more than $-1.75 at one
>
'time in our lives, and little' pros
pect ahead of getting mere then
that, l applaud vigorously. He
gave us to understand that the
I’res id nt has abolished dollar
diploma y and put monopolies
on the hike, which sounded queer
to say 'he least. He took occasion
to give Ur. Wickereham a few
a few short arm jolts, and told
us the Democrats were respon
sible for the Alaska railroad ins
tead of Wickersham, which of
course is true.
Mr. Bunnell advocated govern
ment power plants and seems to
thin: he is making a radical de
parture from Democratic princi
ples- and he is, but the funny
thing about it is, that he also
thinks it is something now. The
^ocialist3 have been advocating
that sort of thing for years, but
for their temerity, they have
been called anarchists, enemies
of religion, destroyers of the
home, traitors to the dag, anc
other nice things, by the Demo
crats and their Republican co
workers and partners.
Mr. Bunnell closed by telling
continued on 5th column
The political situation in
/laska, and particularly in
the 4th Division, has assum
ed such iorm as to permit r.
conipreheneire and definite
viev/ of it. The legislative
candidates' of the different
parties and organizations in
this division have been nomi
nated, and together with con
Sessional candidates the
lineup is complete, unless
some belated r.spiiant for po
litical honors should bob up
arm announce his candidacy,
j but this seems unlikely now.
' i he Socialists have a full
[ticket in the field., Th*y
i were the first to get into the
I game, and having gotten
j through with all necessary
! preliminaries, are now pre
j paring to get out and elect
their men. They are going it
| strictly alone, neither eridor
! sing nor wishing the endorse
ment of any other party or
faction. Unlike any other oar
I
j ty they have a principle to
j fight for ether than the spoils
of office, and having that
principle, the inauguration
of the Co-operative Common
wealth in view as their ulti
j mate goal, as well as the im
mediate bette-ment of the
condition of the people who
work, they are working har
moniously together all over
the territory, and when the
Votes are counted on Novem
ber ora taeii opponents will
probaoly t:nd themsefveaelec
to stay at home. They
will at least be jarred into the
concior.sncss that the Social
ist- party is a power in Alas
ka as it is getting to be in the
states, and must be reckoned
with.
The Democrats also have
put up a full ticket though
they are not united by any
j means. There is a defection
; on the coast and many here
;are lukewarm in the support
| of Bunnell. Anyway if tha
j party were united, there are
i not enough Democrats in A
jlasku to cut much ice, and
; Mr. Bunnell will fj3d that he
I is wasting Democratic time
land money in making the
| race. The energies of the Pe
; mocratic moguls in this Divi
jsion are going to be directed
j towards the election of Tom
i McGowan for senator. They
will sacrifice anything and
everything to that end! There
jis no trick that they will not
i resort to in order to acccom.
! plish their purpose. McGow
an is the N. C.-White Pass
attorney here, and in all pro
pability is acting m that c-a
pacity for the Guggenheim' j
McGowan’s partner in the!
Democratic machine, Mar-,

stop at nothing ' to elect Me
