The Alaska citizen., 1914-11-02

Two of the important reasons for the election of the full Democratic ticket are: First. that the delegate to congress and the members of the legislature should be in harmony politically, with the national admin istration. Second. that the Demo. cratic ticket in the Fourth division is made up Of men wno are old residents in Alaska. and know what the Territory needs most in the matter of legislation.
 pelesates 10 the local Democratic convention realized the necessity of putting up the best men available for legislative positions, and study of the ticket they made will prove that they accomplished what they set out to do. The ticket is lepTe- sentative of all sections of the diNi- sion and will undoubtedI! receive the support of voters regardless of party affiliations.
 The records of the Democratic can didates are as follows:
 CHARLES E. BUNNEll.
 Although son of poor parents, Charles F. Bunnell, Democratic nomi- nee for delegate to congress, has gradually gained for himself much financial and social success. He is 36 years of age, and came to Alaska when he was p years old.
 MT Bunnell graduated at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania with de gree of bachelor of arts. He came to Alaska originally to teach in a government school at Wood Island I l1 Valdez nd made principal of the school there This position he held for four years.
 Br Dunnell left the teaching pro fession 10 practice law. In addition to having built up a good law prac. tic, sl aldeZ, which is his home, he has become financially interested in various mining and industrial en- terprises. All his property and his home are in Alaska.
 THOMAS A. M'GOWAN.
 Thomas A. McGowan, Democratic nominee for Territorial senator. is so well known here that it seems quite useless to tell of his local standing. That Mir McGowan is one of the best informed men on the needs of Alaska in the matter of legislation is generally admitted, even by his political opponents.
 MT. McGowan came North in 1898, in the early days of Dawson, as attorney for the old Alaska Com mercal company, and when that company later combined with the N. c. company, he became attorney for the latter. and still holds that position.
 Ever since he first came here MT. McGowan has made his home either in Dawson or Fairbanks. and there are indeed few Of the pioneers of the Territory who do not know him. In his long residence in the North he has practiced constantly in the courts here, and is probably more familiar with the needed legis- lation of the Territory than any other attorney.
