ALhSkA'S WANTS.

II has been repeatedly asserted that AlaSkanS do not know what they want when il comes io as sorting the needs of fhis terri tory. A careful reading of the Republican and regular Demo- cratic platforms shows conclu- sivcly to the contrary, for it. ,scl- dom happens that two distinct pO- litical bodies come SO nearly to- gcthcr as have the Republicans and Democrats in their platforms on all questions covering the needs of this northland. Upon political matters, like in the states. they arc diamcirically op- posed to one another; in fact, the Republicans, in order to be Alas kans, have locked horns with the views of the administration.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Politics.


 The recent conventions held at Valdez and CordOva have furnish cd food for profitable thought on the part of the average citizen, who Is not rank partisan, but who, as a good citizen of Alaska, has at heart the best interests of the country.
 At Valdez, We were confronted with two warning factions of the DrnOcraty: one led by MrSSrS. Daily and Jennings of Seattle and elsewhere, who informed the "mOb' present at the convention that organization of such q body could only be done in a fit and orderly manner. That forcSrc- ing the necessity of such action two years ago, they had passed certain rules by which the con- Nrntion should be conducted. It Was obvious that these rules were so framed that, if followed. Mr. Jennings and Mr. Daily would, re- gardlesS of the will of the major fly, cOntrnI the convention and by similar tactics. be enabled to con- Sfllutc themselves a sclf-prrpct- uaiing oligarchy which could continue to rule the Democrats $ of Alaska as long as they wished. Certain of the "mOb" refused io acquIrScc in this pretty plan and split resulted and We now have two candidates of the Democrats. both claiming io hc Inc simon pure goo.
 At E0rd0va, Mr.. ShackIcfnrd of seattle and elsewhere. come load cd to the guards with proxies col lrclcd by Mr. lIcrron of Nevada and elsewhere, and peace and harmony prevailed.
 This is not an attack on any of the candidates chosen by these So-callcd conventions, but a pro- lest against such unfair meth 0ds of nomination which, in the past, has resulted in the over turning of both parties and the election of an independent candi- date whose usefulness has been seriously impaired by the fact that he was not affiliated with either of the great political par ties, but stood in Inc same posi- ton as high churchman in a Methodist camp meeting.
 Until the people of Alaska get some form of lf-govcrnmcnl and arc enabled to pass direct primary law, we can expect to sec just such farccs enacted each two years as we have recently wit messed. r. IT. FOSTER.

OUR CANDIDATE.

The Democratic territorial con ventiun, which nominated Rob crt w. Jennings as it's candidate for delegate to congress, did it's duty 10 the Democracy of the ter ritOry fcarleSSly and well. In naming it's standard bearer they chose d man singularly well fitted 10 fill the position to which he is destined. In Mir. Jennings Alaska will haze a representative of ir- rcprOachable character; one nev- CT allied with the interests, but on the contrary friend of the pcople--the "commOn people," to quote the apt phrase of William Jennings Bryan. A man who came to Alaska on his own ini- tiative If years ago to make it his home and ito grow up with the country" One who knows the needs and wants Of Alaska, and one who will not be a whit back ward in urging upon congress the necessity of the territory, ac- cOrding to what is due it.
 He stands upon a platform in accord with the best thought of the people of. our district, be they Democratic, Republican or what not. The platform upon which Robert w. Jennings stands is his thought and is in thorough har- mony With his ideals as citizen of'AlaSka. Mr. Jennings will make no frantic appeals of the dcma- gOguc stripe: he will not ask or claim that which he knows to be unsOund or unObiainablc; he will not make mere promises in or der to obtain votes, but will stand firmly upon the cnunciations of his party and the progressive teachings and principles of that fearless leader of Democracy, William Jennings Bryan.
 When elected Mr. Jennings will be in accord with the dominant political power, as il is generally conceded that the Democratic
 
 the hearts of the voters of the states as to ensure the clrctlOn of it's candidate tO the presidency. The house is Democratic now: il will he more SO in 1913. At pres "ni the Republicans are in nnnIi- nal control of the Senate: the fall elections will shore them of that slender advantage. Thus. for the first time in history Alaska will be represented in congress by a man in full political accord with the party in power. The Demo cratic party being pledged lu right the wrongs of Alaska. will find one of their own faith in the low "r house of congress ever ready and alert tO make our wants known. With the advent of Mr.. Jennings in congress. will end the JunkriinGS of congressional com miIirr$, who learn nothing of illis far land of the north and do less and will mark tn" beginning of the time when congress will act for Us ip the end that Alaska may com" inio her own.

MY SHADOW.

] have a little shadow that goes in
and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is
more than l can see.
He IS very, very like me from the
heels up to the head;
And l see him jump before me when
| jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the
way he likes to grow
Not at all like proper children, which
is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller,
like an India rubber ball.
And he sometimes gets so little that
there's none of him at all.
He hasn't got notion of how chill
dren ought to play,
And can only make fool of me in
every sort of way.
He stays so close beside me, he's a
coward you can see;
I'd think shame to stick to nurs1e as
that shadow sticks to me.
One morning very early, before the
sun was up,
l rose and found the shining dew on
every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an
arrant sleep head,
Had stayed at home behind me and
was fast asleep in bed.

EFFORTS TO LEARN
TRUTH ARE FUTILE

Since the Swifts have taken over the
property of the G.. H. Hammond COM
pany in Hammond all efforts to learn
what is to be done with the property
are in vain.
The property includes about 80 acres
and is an ideal manufacturing site. 1t
was abandoned by the 6. H Hammond
company when that company was alb
sorbed by the beef trust
1t is said to be possible that the
Swifts may use the property for the
purpose of manufacturing some of the
by-products of the packing business
The property is worth about $4,000
to $4,000 an acre. although 1t Is held
for the enormous sum of $1,000 81
acre. Only when the Calumet river
becomes navigable will the property b'
worth its present appraisal.
