The above report Of the recent meet ing of the Republican territorial cent, ral committee of Alaska was sent forth broadcast, and it takes no Sherlock Holmes to deduce the author;-A. R. O.Brien, editor Of the Juneau Record and press agent for the Shackletord faction of the Republican party Of Alaska. Mr. o'Brien signed a sImi- lar report which was received by The Alaskan and his editorial columns echoed and harped upon the con. cluding paragraph Of the above report
 One who is unfamiliar with the cir cumstances attending the recent meet ing would naturally infer from a pc rusal of the above report that there was a well attended and enthusiastic meeting ot the central committee. and that a major portion of the Republic. ans of Alaska were opposed to home rule, for was not every member of the committee except two present in either person or proxy"
 There were exactly three members or the committee present at the meet Ing. They were L. p. ShacklefOrd of Juneau, M. J. OConuor of Douglas and John Rustgard of Nome. Louis p. Shackletord personally informed the writer Of this fact. Knowing full well that three committeeman could hardly be considered to constI- tute "au element Of the Republican party tayoring the ideas expressed by President Taft in reference to ter rltorial government for Alaska, Mir OBrien fails to mention the slim at tendance. either in his press dis patches or in the columns Of his own organ, but adroltly states that every member was present either in person or proxy" This is truthful so far as 1t goes, but nevertheless it is a plain evasion and was written carefully with intent to deceive.
 As a matter of fact an overwhelm- ing majority of the Republicans of Alaska favor home rule. It has been repeatedly proved by the vote of the people in the election of delegates. It will be proved again in the future.
 Mr. oBreu is not unaware of this; neither is MT. Shackletord. Yet for pol, iticaI purposes they color news reports SO lt would appear that the Republic ans of the north as a party are ar rayed against home rule, whereas in this case, the element of the Repub- licau party fayoring the ideas ex- pressed by President Taft" consisted Ot three men.
 Most of the voters of Alaska have neither the time nor the money to spend in the pursuit of politics as profession. That is left to men like shackleSord and his assOciates-un- fortunately. For this reason they are allowed to pose as the leaders of the party, go to Washington and voice their personal opinions as party sent lments. and send forth misleading
