DEMOCRATS TO
KEEP POLITICAL
ACTIVITY GOING
WASHINGTON, March 26.—The
determination of the democratic na
tional committee to keep open house
between campaigns, and maintain a
degree of activity at all times regard
less of whether a campaign is at hand,
has been received with favor in this
city, and it is believed that the repub
lican national committee will adopt a
similar plan.
By their new departure the demo
crats have arranged to keep politics
moving the year round, and every
year. Headquarters will be open with
men in charge who understand the
game. If certain programs seem to
threaten party damage, steps can be
taken at once to stay them. If other
programs meet with favor, steps can
be taken to add to the good fortune.
The old plan thus seems to be out
of date of ungearing the party ma
chine at the end of a campaign and
letting it rust until another campaign
comes on. This new departure was
probably made with a full knowledge
of Tammany Hall’s methods. The na
tional democratic party can copy
Tammany in this respect if in no oth
ers. That organization runs all day,
all night and all the year. Its doors
are never closed, and there is always
somebody on hand to instruct, enter
tain and assist. If a member strays
away, somebody is sent after him; if
a new member is to be had, somebody
is put on his trail. Tammany keeps
politics and politics keeps Tammany, j
and as a result the organization, al
though sometimes defeated at the
polls, is never down and out. During
the presidential campaign last year
it was very busy with preliminaries
for the mayoral ity campaign of the
present year, and it gave more atten- i
tion to that campaign in the fall of
1916 than it did to whether Wilson or
Hughes would be elected president.

A mining: deal in which several
molybdenite claims located near Clif
ton, on the White Pass railroad,
changed hands, was put through a
few days ago at Skagway by George
D. Schofield, of Nome and Seattle,
candidate for attorney-general in the
last election on the republican ticket.
Mr. Schgfield reached Juneau yester
day on the City of Seattle from the
Lynn canal town and will be here
some little time on business.
The property which Mr. Schoneld
is interested in was originally staked
by officials of the White Pass compa
ny, who transferred their interests to
him. Four additional claims were
staked by Mr. Schofield during his
visit in Skagway.
The claims, which are said to have
ore showing good assays in moly
bdenite, are located along Pitchfork
falls, in the Skagway recording dis
trict. One document, placed on rec
ord at Skagway a few days ago,
showed G. H. Miller, W. C. Blanchard,
A. C. Blanchard and George Rosen
burg paying Mr. Schofield $2,500 for
his interest in the XL, XL-1, XL-2,
and XL-3 claims, near Pitchfork falls.
Interest in the water right of Pitch
fork falls was also turned over in the
deal. ,

EIGHT AERONAUTIC
STATIONS ARE TO BE \
ESTABLISHED ON COAST]
WASHINGTON, March 26.—A join/t
army-navy board is studying the At
lantic and Gulf coasts preparatory 1 to
the establishment of eight aeronautic
stations, which,.-besides having (two
dirigibles and six or eight aeroplanes
each for aerial patrol work, probatbly
will serve as bases for the new A 10
foot coast scout boats, of which! the
navy will order more than af hun
dred in a few days. /
Sixteen dirigibles and a sufficient
number of seaplanes have been con
tracted for, and officers and men for
the service are being selected to be
sent to the station at Pensacola, Fla.,
for training. A school dirigible for
the station is almost ready for deliv
ery.
The eight stations will be distrib
uted along the coasts to cover strate
gic areas to be determined by the
board. Each will require six officers
and 40 men.
The only station site selected defi
nitely is that at Coco Solo, near Colon,
Canal Zone, for which an appropria
tion of $1,000,000 to establish a joint
aviation and submarine base was
asked of the last congress. The pro
ject is expected to carry at the coming
special session. Money for the other
stations will be asked at that time, but
the department has emergency appro
priations sufficient to begin the work.
Stations for the Pacific coast are not
being prepared, although the chain of
coast patrol bases will be extended
along the entire coast line as rapidly
as machines can be obtained and men
trained.
The immediate plans require the
training within the next four months
of 50 officers and 350 men at Pensa
cola in handling dirigibles. Crews for
the seaplanes are under training, but
their number must be increased large
ly without delay.
In providing boats to aid in the
task of guarding the coasts, navy ex
perts prefer a standard type 130-foot
steel boat for patrol and submarine
chasing work, but in the interest if
speedy construction has determined on
the 110-footers with wooden hulls, so
that builders of wooden boats may
share in the work. Later orders will
be placed for small submarine chasers,
ranging from 50 to 85 feet long.
