The daily Alaskan., 1912-11-11

as NE"N.aNHl N. t.N NNNtNN N'N''N naturally means a number of chang cs in trc federal office holders in Alaska from Governor down Go depu- ty marshal The people of the country have declared uueluiyocally that they have lost faith in the present administration and want a change. naturally that change is wanted an along Che line. and tt is but proper that the voice Of the people should be oneycd and Che changes accordingly made. Along frg line or removals iu Alaska the Juneau Dispatch has this Co say.
 Tne-e arc numerous Democrats in Juneau who are turning their faces Co eIeet Wilson as thc flower turns it's face toward che sun. There are some score of republicans in Jun eau drawing Eood salaries from the United States government who be san yesterday morning Co make plauS and who expect Go engage in some other business some time after the first og ucN, March.
 For. some sixteen years the fed e~aI .n.sk.a.s. .u Alaska have been only for those who served the party which was brought into public mo- use ry Nr. Lincoln. For 20 years not 60 thing has happened Go en- eour.ee aspiring Democrats. For a auh of ceutuary, no Democratic eye had any more business to look u the direction og public office than a ThItuEct Indian.
 Now times have changed. There are good reasons why every citizen Go whom jobs wi,h salaries and hon OTIS are attractive should figure out how rc is Co prove that he IS en- titled Co the credit and the emolu- meufs Of a Democratic warhorso, and what IS the best way to get appointment iu a legislative district In which there was no Democratic party at the last election.
 Besides the administration jobs, there are just about a dozen which arc making no particular arrange meurs Co euEaec in other work. The employees tu the office of the col Iecto- of customs. and in the sur yeyo- generals office are protected by the civil service and here no hungry Democrat need apply. Also Inspector Whitney and Inspector Ker. We always have with us, at least SO far as presidential elections are concerned. and steaOEraphers.
 But there are plenty of positions which are sufficiently loose to at tract the attention Of aspiring Dem ocrats. and there is no reason why any ambitious Juneau man should not have plenty of incentive tO go after a political job
 First and foremost there is a Governor to be appointed who who draws a salary of S7,000 and spending money for contingent eX- penses. usually the position also includes an opportunity to make trips Co Washington every winter In the Governors office there is. an opportunity for a stenographer, whose services are necessary as private secretary.
 In the court house. there will be a vacancy u a fudEesrip. a vacancy i'm the office Of United States mar shaI. in the office of district clerk, fudgcship. a warshalship, a court clerk. cIerksbip. and district at. torueyshfn. and commissjonership, vacant And the new judge will have the appointment of a reporter, and a baiufC or two. The clerk will appoint three or four deputies. And i'm Juneau or Douglas the new Unit cd states marshal win have the selection of three deputies. In Jun eau. there win also be a gameward- enshir Co be filled
 Among the larger plums, also, are thc positions of territorial sec retarv and collector Of customs. There are also, the positions Of. register and receiver or the land of- flee These last two positions are not SO profitable as they once were, but the fees are sufficient to make them interesting Co Democrats with a desire Co serve the public.
 In the district attorneys office, there is an opening for two assist apf attoruevs iu Juneau, and one iu Ketcbikan. These offices now pay S2.OOO a year.
