Speech of the HON. CHARLES E. INGERSOLL
 October 9, 1012 at the Non-Partisan Convention at Juneau. Alaska

l deprecate any attempt to iden lify this first legislature of ours
 With the fortunes of any party
 or any man. am opposed to
 It not only on principal but what is of more practical moment from the standpoint of policy. To my mind it is simply sow ing the seeds of discord and dis appointment. Even if the party with which we might identify
 ourselves should win out in the coming election, We must not forget that there will be a
 strong, virulent, life breathing minority in both Halls of Con-
 gress; and our first legislature
 cannot afford to have even a
 minority to fight. Every need
 we have, every law we pass, must necessarily deal with mat ters purely local, and we must remember that those laws must
 be ratified by Congress before they become operative, and it is not only unnecessary but it is suicidal to create in the body ttat passes upon those laws any hostile mind. When we en
 ter the portals of Congress, let our appeal be not to party, dominant or servient, but to Congress as a whole and every individual member thereof. Alaska is country of great pos abilities. The eyes of the whole country arc upon us. Let us at least make a good start. Our seas are teeming with fish, our hills are burden
 cd with precious metals. The
 magic wand that will bring us into our own is the powerful
 force of, capital applied thereto.
 Let our efforts be not to fright
 cn it away, but to woo it 10
 our shores. Let our watch
 word be NOT DESTRUCTION, BUT REGULATION. Let us Ele egislate to encourage develop ment, invite capital. and up. build the country. Let us strive strive again and ever strive to
 keep Alaska in the proud po-
 siton 1t has occupied before
 the world in the past-the poor mans paradise; The home of l lindividual effort and sustained manhood; One of the few places left upon Gods green earth where "A man may wear tie holden gray, And be a man | for a that"

paradoX-a no-party Organl- zation composed of all parties. A party with no antercedents. 10 precedents, s,-the only lamp 10 light it's feet along the un- trodden path being that of com mon sense. For years, prior hereto, Alaska, party controlled las been in turmoil of dis. sension and a state of political warfare, that has estranged friendships, jeopodized busi- mess interests and retarded the growth of the country. In the halls of Congress, where we would naturally look for rem edial relief, where our wrongs could be righted and our evils |remedied, representatives o1 the divers factions, ignoring the welfare of the country, have carried their grievances and fought out their personal quar- rels, and Alaska's welfare, like Punch and Judy's baby, has been tosseled and tumbled, thrown from pillar to post, un- til it has lost it's idenity as an actual potentiality and has be- come a conglom crate mass Of inconsistencies and impossi- bilities. At home, where peace and plenty should prevail, and where it is simply matter of extending the right hand of wei come to bring to our shores the magic wand of prosperity and happiness, friendships have been severed, parties rent ill twain, capital ruthlessly attack ed, the front door of business draped in bankruptcy, and over this land of promise, with a iountiful harvest ready for the hand of the reaper, there has settled an atmosphere of deso- lation and despair.
 The birth of this new party was not the conception of any one brain or any group Of brains. No wise man beheld this Star of Hope that lead us into this new birth and new dispen sation. It was the spontaneous movement, the irresistible im- pulse of an awakened public mind, of a people who have at last seen the folly of their way and have come into thir own. It was not a carefully worked out method of eXpediency, but, Ike the surge of the mighty

 force sweeps on it's way, it was
 backed up by the impenetrable
 and unfathomable deep of the
 good sense of the Alaskan peo- pie.

 me as impugning the good judgement or the good faith of
 the divers factions or their rep resentatives in the Halls of Con

 What to ourselves in passion we propose the passion ending

 1 have scarcely the temerity to hold that Alaska in this her first plunge into the unknown and uncertainties of self gov arnment compares with the | United Colonies when they first came out under the banner of
 Republic. It would probably be vaingloriuous in me to liken tie first Alaskan legislature with it's local issues and needs
 with the first legislature under tl.e immortal father of our country. But still it may be profitable for us to consider and reflect upon the example and the precedent set by our lforefathers in this their initial
 experiment; And although the Iyo responsibilities facing this first | le gislature of ours are not so momentous, although the con- ltingencies of a possible failure
 are not so grave, although the duties devolving upon it are not so complicated, yet, never 1 theless, we may well profit by the example set by those great and noble men, and in this our initial step into the untrodden field sink all personal grievan- ces, obliterate all quarrels, hide all antagonisms, forget all ami mosities, refuse to align our selves with any of the political
 parties, and join ourselves to- gether with the immutable bonds of harmony, and fight l tie battle for Alaska and the people as a whole. Personally

Delegates of the Non-Partl- san Convention of Southeastern Alaska, Ladies and Gentlemen;
 l suppose it is incumbent up on one who enters the political arena and kneelS at the foot of the throne of the peoples will to render up his confession of faith. Ever since the end of
 the term of our first president, the Immortal Washington, thls government of ours has been peculiarly Government of par ties. This condition Is probably Of all things the most natural in the world. Life itself is one long succession of contrasts. This fact is demonstrated throughout all the social, in- dustrial, ethical and material affairs of life. Emerson very tritely expresses it i'll one of his great essays, wherein he re fers to it as the duality of na- ture'-where there is a rich, there is an accompanying poor, where there Is great there must be a small, good and bad; Even ones conception of the future state of bliss Is pictured up ill the scene of Lag arus, the poor, despised, sore ridden bcgger, resting in Hea- yen upon the bosom of Abra- ham and gazing across the gull upon the rich man welterlng Tn Hell. And just so far as this principle prevails throughout |olher walks of life, it is a stern reality in the industrial world as far as it affects capi- tal and labor. As the earth stands to the vegetation that rlourishes therein, so does cap ital stand to labor. And to sep crate one from the other, as in the case of the revolt between the members of the body and and the stomach in the old fab le, both would wither away and decay.
 This conception of party af- filiations and party obligations has become so thoroughly in grafted in the minds of man. kind, that 1t is almost impossl- hle to conceive of the destinies of a nation being ruled by one party alone. But to-day in this Territory Of Alaska we behold un anonoly in political life. l. may well be termed political

COLONEL ROOSEVELT SHOT

COLONEL ROOSEVELT SHOT Wednesdays Daily
 The flash received by this paper yesterday to the effect that some crank had shot Roosevelt was confirmed this morning, when the following wireless was received
 Chicago, Oct. 15-While on the way to the Auditorium in Milwaukee last night, Monday, October 14, Colonel Roosevelt was shot and dangerously wounded by John Schrank, a fanatical Socialist The bullet from 32 caliber pistol, struck Roosevelt in the right breast, a little to the right of the nipple, end ranged upward and inward for about four inches, where it lodged. A bowling, maddened mob seized on Schrank, and it was with the utmost difficulty that the police were able to pre- vent the fellow being pulled limb from limb, and he was one mass of cuts and wounds when taken to thhe police headquar- ters.
 During the interval Roose- welt had been taken to the Audi torillm, where doctors who were in the audience made a nasty examination and advised that he be taken to the hospital at once. He, however, objected saying that he would not disa- point the immense audience which packed the hall, manX|or whom had occupied their I<eats for hours, so after the wound had been hastily dressed and handaged he proceeded to the Tlatform, and as soon as thc tlmulluous apn,<use Of E.s hearers was stilled, spoke to them at considerable length. The shock of the wound hew., ever asserted itself before he was able to finish, and he was taken on an automobile to the Union station where a special train was in waiting and he was brought to this city where he Is now in a hospital. Practically every prominent surgeon with in the city rendered his services when the news was made pub lie that Roosevelt was injured and on his way to Chicago and everything was in readiness when he arrived at the hospital His condition was such when he did get there that 1t was not though advisable to operate to remove the bullet untl he had rested up, and the attempt to remove 1t will be made tOmor- TOW.
 When questioned al the po- lice station Schrank stated that he was a Socialist and that he had shot Roosevelt because he thought he was a peril to the people in his third term aspira- tions.
 Roosevelt passed a quiet night and was resting fairly easily this morning. There is or course considerable fever.
