Fly 90 Der cent Of the republicans Of Missouri are en-
Enthusiastically in favor of the nomination OF President
Roosevelt to succeed hmse and there are thousands o
men who have not heretofore affiliated with the repuD-
can party who are outspoken praise Of the aggressive
honesty and unmpeachabe integrity of the president
and whose votes will be cast for him at the coming cleo
tion
The best way to help the president is to refuse to
nlaee clubs IN the hands Of his opponents to fight him
with do not wantit said with the least show OF
truth. that the men whom the president appointed to
Office were mainly instrumental in securing his nominal
on nor do want said that the delegates to the great
convention are there to pay off obligations incurred by
by their appointment to office
The expression of Mr. Dyer against Office hodersat the
national convention is made emphatic because o. tie

GREAT CAMP John K. Dillon Enthusiastic
 Over Fairbanks

That the Panama will develop into the greatest mining camp that was ever discovered in the north, not ex- cepting Dawson, is the conviction Of John F. Dillon, long one the leading attorneys of this section of Alaska.
 Mir. Dillon is one of the many people who landed upon their feet when they Struck Fairbanks. He is said to have a large practice built up and has been very successful with it, Late arrivals say he is making fortune.
 Iua business and personal letter to the Daily Alaskan, Mir. Dillon speaks of the Panama as follows
 "Ot the camp here and its prospects for the future, | cannot say too much | am thoroughly satisfied that it will prove to be by far the greatest mining camp yet discovered in the North Dawson not excepted. I would not ad- wise any more people coming here until next spring, as the present amount of developed and working mines will not give emplo ment to any more labor than is here now.
 Like the newly converted soul at the revival, q am glad I am here.'
 My comingwas the best move ever made"

TORIES CATCH AT A STRAW

There are those who profess to be- Heve the cause Of those who have been urgipg territorial government for this district has been knocked into t" cooked hat because the supreme court of tbe United States has feld that Alaska is organized territory, No me ever questioned that there was an orpsnized government in the territory which comprises the District Of Alaska br, what has been cOutended is that Alaska has not an organization such has become technically known tn this country as a 'TerritOrial Government X territorial gOvernmsut in the sense tbe term is used by the supreme court is provided for those of the most re- mote section oF Siberia by the Russian government. The kind of territorial government the supreme court had 10 mind would apply to any government of those in a specified territory and Ii would not have reference as to whether the people residing in that territory had any voice in the government or not
 Territorial government as asked for by the republican democratic and non partisan conventions which have con vened in Alaska from time to time for the last four or i've years IS the kind which would permit the people ot the district to govern themselves-which would enable them to make their own laws and to choose the men to enforce them.
 The strait to which the tories are forced in their quibblIug about this matter Of selt-gOverumeut for the people Of Alaska would be amusing were the ignorance displayed not SC pitiable
