there was some disappointment be-
cause Judge Thompsons resolutions
were not published. AS the secretary
of the convention had not received a
record Of them and as Judge Thomp-
son did not have them in his possess
sion, we had some difficulty in finding
them and after they were found our
time was too limited to set them in
type. However, they are printed be-

Whereas an effort was made at the
last session of the State Democratic
convention to amend the constitution
of the Democratic party of South
Carolina SO as to require every per-
son offering to vote in the primary
election to produce his registration
certificate and tax receipt, and have
all the qualifications required under
the law for voting in the general
election in order to give him the priv
ilege of voting in the primary;
And whereas there are indications
that the effort to secure this amend
ment to the party constitution. may
be renewed at the approaching state
convention, which effort, If successful,
would result in the practical disfran-
chisement Of several thousand white
men in South Carolina;
And whereas the conduct of cleo
tions under the constitution and rules
of the Democratic party is amply suf-
hcient to secure free ballot and a
fair count.
Resolved, That this convention is
unqualifiedly opposed to such change
in the constitution of the party, and
to any other change or amendment,
that would put in jeopardy the right
of any white man in South Carolina
who complies with the rules of the
party, to vote in the Democratic pri-
mary, and the delegates to the state
convention should U. governed in that
regard by the action of this conyen-
ton and oppose such change If at
tempted.
Be 1t further resolved, That, in
view OF the fact that in the Demo-
cratic primary every man has the
right to express his choice or prefer
ment as between candidates for all
elective offices, state and county, as
we'll as United States senator and rep
resentativeS in the lower house of
congress, that II would be unwise and
undemocratic, for this convention to
indorse or name as its choiae any
man for state or county office, or
member of either house Of Congress.
as such action would be to anticipate
or dictate to the voter in the primary
and smack of the old convention plan.

EXPLANATION DUE.

In the opinion of the Times, -ihrrc is much tO hc explained be- fore the people of Panama will accept the candidacy of Martin llarraiS with sufficient rnthuSi- aSm io insure him a majority in lhiS district al the coming dele gate election.
 The people are not so much concerned in inc details of the Valdez convention as in the fact that there are two Democratic candidates for delegate i0 con- matter how nearly right Mr. liar raiS may hr in his contention that hr was .iobhrd in the convention. Inc fact sill remains thaI there are two Democratic candidates, and each with a sufficient follow ing to defeat the other.
 One of the things Mr. IIarrais will have to explain when he re- turns to Fairbanks is the fact that llr expressed publicly II" de- sir" tO hcc0m" a candidate prior io his departure for the ronvrn- lion. Another iS the presence of William O'I.0nnor in the IIarraiS wing of inc Democratic party.
 The first point may br of liIilr ronsrQu"nrr when the facts arc known, but We believe il will re- quirc Iol of explaining iu sal iSfy tn" voters that the former labor candidate could be of any legitimate use in a conventions Fairbanks Times.

THE PRoSPEcToR.

IL was a broad gaugcd posi- lion, that assumed by the Cham Der of Commerce on "Wednesday evening, when that body declared itself in favoring the employment of Alaskans in preference to la hur from the states in the con Struction of the Valdez dikc. IL was also well that the chamber, in furthcrance of this idea, took immediate steps iO prevent the flooding of this section by impr- cuniOuS men tO the detriment of those already here. The develop mcnt of Alaska, at least the first steps in opening up the country, is done by the prOspcctOr. With out his indefatigable efforts Alas ka would forever remain a wild rrnesS.
 The prOspcctor, by the very ma lure of his cmploymcnt, must perfOrce, at times. work for wages, in order to sustain him. self and purchase his necessary supplies when out in the hills. Aside from any other cOnsidera- lion hut that of SrliiShneSS the business man should make it. his business to see that the pr0spcc- for is the first to be given cm- pl0ymcnt when Inc needs il. By sidr-Stepping this policy, the country must remain at a stand still. Give the prnSprcinr work and he will soon unfold new wealth.
 The attitude of the chamber iS that the dikr must br built in the shortest time possible and with That end in vIew will pledge the government, to secure for it all the men it may desire to prose cute the work, but it will give the preference io pr0spectorS who can be secured not only from Val dcz and it's immediate vicinity, hut from ChiIina, Corduva and Seward as well.

PORT WELLS MAIL.

Bids asked for by the Pnstotlicc department on the proposed mail route between Valdez and Cor dova, via Wells bay, is a fair cX- ample of how they do things back in Washington. Here is d case wherein the government calls for tenders to carry the mail between Prince William sound points en- failing a run of 2i5 miles. with eleven stops, wherein mail must be delivered and taken up with in time limit of two days. There are few small vessels in this sec tiOn of Alaska which could carry out tine schedule, and a boat cap able of doing SO would prove so expensive io operate as to pre- cludc the possibility of it's ever receiving a mail contract in these paris. It is quite likely that no mail contract will be let under this schedule.
