DEMOCRATS HOLD
 LARGE MEETING

About the only interesting event of the evening was what o. D. Cochran had to say as to the reason the demo- crats "r the Second division haven't stacked up very well with the Wash ington administration. Mir. Cochran said that too many telegrams had been sent to the department of justice and the president making charges against various and sundry persons without any foundation and that he was op- posed to the club making Itself ridicu- lcus in this way
 He believed that if any federal off, ficer was derelict in his duty charges should always be preferred with the proper proof of dereliction and that 1t vas ridiculous to bring charges of fault without specific proof.
 There being really no serious busi- ness to come before the meeting ex- copt that which was not disclosed 1t adjourned without date and the dem oorats are still wondering "what they wtre there for"

large and enthusiastic meeting of the democratic organization of Nome was held Saturday night at which President Ernst presided
 II iS stated that th" prime mover iu arranging for this get together" meeting was Lawyer Hugh ONeill. who after the cohorts were all as- sembled and ready to hear what they were there for, neglected to mention the object. It seemed to be dark secret which had everybody guessing and if O'Neill knew he would not dis close it. He did. however, assure the audience that he believed in the doc trine of Alaska for Alaskans. This new slogan of the vintage of 1889 was received with toleratidon and then Democrat Daly made a motion which may or may not have been interesting and relevant. In any ease when 1t was put it received just three favor Gble votes. Mir. DaIy's and two others whose identity could not be discov- cred.
