republican national convention. repre-
senting a clear majority OF the voters
Of the republican party Of the nation
and representing clear majority OF
the delegates and aiternates legally
elected to the convention. in meeting
assembled, make the following declar-
alton:
we were elected by majority OF
the republican voters Of our respec-
tive districts and states to nominate
Theodore Roosevelt in the republican,
national convention as candidate Of
our party tor president. and thereby
carry out the Will OF the voters as eX-
pressed at the primaries. We have
earnestly and conscientiously striYen
to execute the commission entrusted
to us by the party voters.
Denied Justice by Convention.
For five days we have been denied
justice in the national convention.
This result has been accomplished by
the action OF the now defunct national
committee in placing upon the preiim-
mary roll Of the convention and there
by seating upon the floor of the con
vention a sufficient number of fraud
ulently elected delegates to control
the proceedings of the convention.
These fraudulent delegates once seat
ed, have by concerted action with one
another put themselves upon the per
manent roll where they constitute an
influence sufficient to control the con-
vention and defeat the will of the par
ty as expressed at the primaries.
I'VE have exhausted every known
means to head off this conspiracy and
prevent this fraud upon the popular
will but without success. We were
sent to this convention bearing the
most specific instructions to place
Theodore Roosevelt in nomination as
the candidate of our party for presi-
dent, and we therefore deem il our
duty to carry out these instructions in
the only feasible way remaining open
to us.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we,
representing the majority of the voters
Of the republican party and of the dele
gates and alternates legally elected to
the national republican convention in
compliance with our instructions from
the party voters, hereby nominate
Theodore Roosevelt as the candidate
Of our party for the office of president
of the United States, and we call upon
him to accept such nomination in com
pliance with the will of the party vot
erS.
And be il further resolved. that a
committee be appointed by the chair
to forthwith notify Colonel Roosevelt
of the action here taken and request
him to appear before US in this hal!
as soon as convenient"

empowered to appoint a committee Of
seven men to confer with Colonel
Roosevelt and formulate plan of &C
ton. 1t is said several weeks might
elapse before the program is decided
upon. Governor Johnson in the mean
time will act as field marshal and in
cooperation with Colonel Roosevelt,
will decide upon the membership OF
the committee of seven TO guide the
work of organization.

FactionaI FiSh. Bitter.
The convention witnessed the cul-
mination of the most bitter, uncon-
promising factional fight in the annals
OF American politics. Preceded for
weeks by fierce fight for delegates
between President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt, when the gavel OF Victor
Rosewater called the convention to
order no one could foretell the out
come of the struggle for supremacy,
The battle ragged around the contest
ed delegates. The Roosevelt forces
demanded that no delegate whose seat
Was in question should be permitted
10 vote on the temporary organization,
a proposition to which the Taft men
tlatly refused 10 agree During the
short debate on this question the scene
was the most turbulent ever witnessed
in q national convention. The speak
ers were booted and Kissed and
boohed, the Taft and Roosevelt parti-
sans taking equal delight in smother
ing each others speakers.
The Roosevelt leaders were unable
to prevent the contested delegates
from voting on temporary organza-
lion, and the first test of strength
came on the vote for temporary chair
man. Senator Root, Of New iorh,
who was recommended by the nation
al committee and supported by the
Taft organization, was elected over
Governor McGovern, of Wisconsin, a
La Toilette delegate, put forward by
The Roosevelt forces.
Roosevelt Men Propose Substitute Roll
Defeated in their efforts to prevent
Tho contested delegates going or the
temporary roll, the Roosevelt leaders
proposed TO substitute roll contain
Ing 90 Roosevelt delegates in place of
- Taft delegates seated by the ma.
tional committee, before the appoint
ment of the regular committees.
Wednesdays session was consumed
in Q fruitless effort TO GUST the 80 con
tested Taft delegates.
At the close OF the debate the first
great ovation of the convention was
given to Governor Hadley of Mis-
souri,, Roosevelts floor leader. The
demonstration for Hadley started
running FIRE OF talk on the convention
floor to make him the compromise
candidate for president.
When quiet had been restored and
after Governor Hadley made q brief
statement, Mr., Watson, Tafts floor
leader waved 20 refer to the creden
tials committee the motion to seat the
80 Roosevelt delegates. Governor De
neen moved to amend so as to provide
that no contested delegates should

ruittee on credentials or on It's report

TAFT Convention.

Chicago.-Theodore Roosevelt was
nominated for president on an indie
PENDENT ticFet. The nomination was
made during the dying hours OF the
republican national convention in
which Mr.. Roosevelt met defeat.
The followers of Colonel Roosevelt
met in Orchestra Hall, less than
mile from the Coliseum, and pledged
their support to the ex-president. In
accepting the nomination, Colonel
Roosevelt appealed to the people CT
all sections, regardless of party affili-
ations, to stand with the founders OF
the new party, one of whose cardinal
principles, he said, was to be Thou
shalt not steal"
Colonel Roosevelt said he accepted
the nomination with the understand
ing that he would be willing to step
aside if it should be the desire OF the
new party when organized to select
another standard bearer.
The proceedings We're well under
way when Colonel Roosevelt appeared
on the stage at the mass meeting. The
crowd went wild with enthusiasm.
Men flung their hats in the air and
women tossed their gloves and fans
about. Cheering was deafening and
it was some time before order was re-
stored.
Roosevelt Gets Demonstration.
When Roosevelt concluded his
speech there was wild rush for the
platform and score of men scramb
led for the leaves of the Colonies
manuscript where he had dropped
them.
The speech nominating Colonel
Roosevelt was made by Controller

have presented the Colonel's name to

ADVANCED WOMEN.

The less a woman's like a man, the more adorable is she; when she forsakes the old.time plan she sends wire-edged pain through me. To mix up in this suffrage game destroys reserve and grace and pride. I've never seen a suffrage dame who was not bold and saucy.eyed. Let men resort to campaign tricks and make the worn-out welkin throb; wom- an talking politics would make the gods throw up their job. I've watched the downward course of girls who once were radiant and rare, with azure eyes and golden curls and smiles as sunny as their hair. They wore a wreath that never fades-the love of all their fellows here, while they were modest. joyous maids, con- tented with their proper sphere; but when they filled the air with shrieks, demanding votes and this and that, men passed them up as dizzy freaks who didn't know where they were at. And soon they lost their gracious charms, their once sweet eyes grew bold and hard, their voices hoarse from calls to arms; they looked like yeomen of the guard And any dame who fills her mind with politics, and

RUsslA's AMBITION.

Mir. Sven Hedin foresees a possI- ble war in the north of Europe be- cause of Russia's desire for an ice free Atlantic port. The St Peters. burg government, he thinks, has in mind an extension of it's sway far be- yond Finland, which 1t has pretty completely Russifed across the northern section of Sweden and Nor way. and thus to a number of har- bors where it's fleet might rendez- vous the year round without danger of being shut in by stress of winter. This view is entirely plausible, though it is likely to be many a long year be- fore Russia is permitted to carry out so ambitious a scheme Germany, England and France would all be yi- tally affected by such a plan, and if the Slays succeed in extending their borders to the Atlantic 1t will be as the result of terrible continental conflict or a well-night inconceiyable exchange of national advantages. Even the transfer of Constantinople to Russia seems almost less fanci' ful.

THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY.

What of the future of the Progress sive party? Colonel Roosevelt, who conceived 1t, says it must go on and complete it's work. Governor Hiram Johnson. his running mate in the late campaign says that the Progress siye defeat was merely an incident in the fight, and was of no more consequence to earnest men than missing a railroad train" Governor Johnson at least is philosophical.
 Colonel Roosevelt has promised statement as soon as he can get the facts-just what kind of facts is not clear. But anyway a pronunciamen- to may be expected from the Colonel almost any day.
 Let us analyze some of Colonel Rooseyelts public utterances. In Milwaukee after he had been shot by the crank Schrank, he said from the platform:
 "I am in this cause with my whole heart and soul I believe in the Pro- gressive moyement-a movement for the betterment Of mankind; a move ment for making life a little easier for all our people; a movement to try to take the burdens of the man and especially the woman in this country who is most oppressed"
 These are attractive propositions. They sound weii and the coloneps devoted followers believe his utter ances. To them he is an apostle of a new political and social creed. They are assured that If he knew that by laying down his life he could make certain that the principles of the progressive platform could by that act be converted into statutes, he would make the sacrifice unhesi- tatingly." And it is also claimed by his supporters that the Milwaukee incident obliterated for all time the taunt that the Progressive movement has been but the creation and instru- ment oI oue mans selfish purpose % Thus ms friends.
 But the Coloners enemies are not sentimental. They believe the Pro- gressive party was born solely for the purpose of floating Colonel Roose- velts presidential candidacy and it will take time to dissipate that be- lief It is an unmistakable fact that his action at Chicago. after he saw that President Taft was to be renom- mated. was a prime factor in the disruption and rout of the Republi. can party. There were other causes but that was the chief.
 The Progressive party may live and it may flourish; and if 1t should 1t is almost certain that there will be a realignment of the political forces of the nation. The future of the Progressives just now largely depend upon Colonel Roosevelt himself. If he can cause it to remain cohesive it may become more and more an important factor in national affairs. But just now there must be in the very nature of things doubt and un- certainty.

MUCH IS EXPECTED.

The greatness of the Democratic victory simply increases the burden of responsibility that the party must assume. If 1t had been close there is reason to believe that it would have put the Democracy on it's mettle. It may anyway. But there may be some reason for fearing that flushed with such an indorsement by the people that the Democrats may assume that they have been given a prescriptive right to govern the country indefinite Iy. But they have not. They have been merely taken on trial and if they do not make good" in the ad- ministratlon of the affairs of this country they will be doomed to defeat just as soon as the people can get action at the polls. In this country politics were never more uncertain than now. Party lines lie very loose ly upon the mass of voters. The party name means little to many The party shibboleth is no more heard. The insistent demand of the people is for men who will faithfully repre- sent them. and measures that will Tighten some of their economic and social burdens. This is what the Dem ocratic party must measure up to if lie shall merit the confidence of the people. If it fail, as it's enemies hope lie will, it's name will be Ichabod. It will be speedily renounced and an- other party will take it's place.

GET READY TO ACT.

Juneau and Southeastern Alaska are attracting much attentioR not only in other sections of Alaska but elsewhere as we'll. This statement has already been made in these col umns. But it is repeated for the purpose of emphasizing it. We want to push it along. Mining men who are here. and others who have been here give corroboration to the state ment
 We want to be ready to meet the developments that are in store, to welcome them and give them eneour- agement
 Within a very few years the gold output of this section promises to be enormous. The work of development now under way and that which has been planned for the next two years gives ample evidence of this, The operations of the Alaska Gastineau Company, of the Treadwell Company, on this side Of the channel and that of a number Of other substantial min- ing companies, afford striking evi- dence of what may be expected in a mining, and also a material way, within a comparatively short time.
 But while the mining companies are opening up the earth and taking out the ore. building mills and the like. the business people must also do their part. They must be ready to meet the changed conditions that will come with the increase of popu' lation and the expansion in many lines of human activity.
