DEMOCRATIC POLITICS AT NOME

Nome, AIdShd, oepI. 20. (optoldl 10
Dispatch) There was quite gather
ing Of politicians Of every hue, includ-
ing Democrats, at the regular primar-
les of the Democratic party last night
in the court room of the U. S. commits
sioner Dr. E. E. Hill presided, as
usual most effectively, and it was
very good humored meeting through
out Major J. T. A. Strong was pres
ent although en- route to Seattle on the
Senator, and his entry into the meeting
was greeted with applause which was
later renewed when in his speech Mr..
A. j. DAILY referred to Major Strong
as good timber for delegate to congress
from Alaska.
Opening the meeting DR.. Hill stat
ed the reasons for which it was call
ed, namely to select forty delegates
to the territorial convention. He APP
pointed Tom Gaffney to act as secretary
of the meeting, an dthen called upon
Major Strong for some introductory
ramarks.
IT needn It say that m always at
home when [ come to Nome, - said the
Major, "and [ can state that when I
am at Nome | am on my native heath. =
(Applause). He expressed his pleas
IRE at meeting so many friends, assur
ed everyone present of his life long de-
yotion to the cause of Democracy, fore
told the success Of the party at the next
pational election, and saw good rea-
son for success at the next territorial
election for delegate. Now that the
Democrats are chastened by so many
years Of defeat all that was needed for
success was unity. He stated, taking
this opportunity to do so, that he was
pot a candidate for any political hon
ors, nor was he seeking to be selected.
At the conclusion of his remarks he
was greeted with much applause.
I. J. Nestor was next invited to
ddress the meeting and all he wished
10 say was that he was still Demo
graf but was not speak er.
A. J. DAILY was next introduced.
ri tell you,'' he began, "that the sky
is bright with dawning promises of
Democratic success The Democrats
qre united as never before, and are go
ing to be successful He referred to
he results of Republican rule in Alas
ka, how they had sought to build up
machine in the interests of the corpora
lions from the courts down, and men
toned with scorn the Beverage bill
which the administration had endeav-
ored to foist on Alaska in spite Of their
repugnance to such a form of govern
ment as American citizens. He stated
that he had endeavored to induce the
national leader in the House, and the
speaker, Champ Clark, to bring in a
home rule bill during the special ses-
sion; that was found to be impossible.
He has, however, good reason to be-
lieve that it will be introduced next
session. Mr.. Days remarks were pune
tuated throughout with repeated ap-
plause.

with stating that he was Democrat,
and pleased exceedingly to see that
there were so many in Nome.
The next business, the chair remark
ed, was to select a committee of three
to select delegates and alternates for
the approval of the meeting. motion
to this effect having been passed., the
chair appointed Conrad Preceding, Jas.
P. DAILY, and Con Kelly as such commit
tee.
While the committee was making it's
selection the chair invited all to come
up and sign the roll under the Demo
cratic declaration of principles, which
were as follows:
"The undersigned, Citizens of
the United States, believing in
Good Government, as expounded
by the Democratic party, and de-
sirous of seeing Democratic pres
idnt in the White House at Wash
ington; as well as a Democratic
delegate for Alaska in Congress,
do hereby avow our Democracy,
and pledge our support to the sue
cess Of Democracy at the coming
election.'
Tom Gaffney made a lew short re-
marks urging the necessity of territor
al e., ~ ~. oI
he believed would solve the problems
which press for solution on the miners
and prospectors throughout the dis
trict
meeting on the necessity of organiza
ton, and he said that the reason the
Democrats had not heretofore elected
a Democratic delegate was for the rea-
son that they had no effective party or
ganization worthy the name. Much
applause greeted the remarks Of Mr..
Cochran.
Some one moved at this juncture
that Mssrs Orion and Gilmore be per
mitted to join the party, an invitation,
they had, it was supposed, coyly declin-
ed. The motion being put was enthusi-
cally voted down, and they we're de-
MED access to the healing fountain
that flowed at the mourner s bench.
Geo. B. Grigsby, who was invited as
Baby Democrat to speak, said that
he had been read out of the Republican
party by telegraph on July last year,
and he noticed the Republican party
had been going down hill ever since
Qaughter). However, as a baby Dem
ocrat, he was glad to see SO many who
had wandered away from the Democrat
ic faith even for brief while return
ing to the fold.
The committee then returned, and
Conrad Preceding read out the follow
ing list of delegates and alternates to
the conventions:
John D. Flanagan, Chas. W. Gayle,
Con Kelly, John Ohrm, Barney Glib

AS Major Strong requested the mo-

him as the Democratic candidate for

withdrawn.
