THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The Democratic convention that will convene a1 Juneau tomorrow Is great in probabilities Alaska is on the hreshhold of newer and better things than she has experienced in the past She is seeking es' ,ape rom the old mud-throwng pickering and fac tonal strife She is ready for progress. She is anN ions to throw aside the things and the men, if nee sssar that have smothercd development in the nth of personal politics Today she is looking to the as semblinr representatives of the party of an admins tration to point the way out of situation that IS stiaing and altogether depIorable
 1T inc Democratic convention lives up to its op portunity 1t win look above personal politics and see only the good that t might do for Alaska IL win adopt a platform that win meet the demands of the hour in the north I will nominate candidates who see in public office an opportunity for pubic service It will be partisan only in the sense that !, win strive to make the Democratic party militant earnest organization for nonpartisan public service
 The government of this country is stil govern ment by political parties. That must continue to be SD in America. Political parties necessary in democracy for in democracy there must be or ranised cooperation Those who hold to similar views must work together to get results that are de- sirabe. and the organization that this cooperation requires is what constitutes political parties
 But political parties and party successes are not ends in themselves. Progress and good government are the ends and political parties but instruments in securing those ends This the Democrats must keep constantly in mind during the sessions and con- ,erences and committee meetings that will be in pro sress in this city for the few days The dele gates must remember, therefore that they are here 60 serve Aaska-to oner the people of this Territory an opportunity to cooperate in an organized movement to help themselves and assist an extremely friendly administration to aid them in the building of com monwealth
 We are laying the foundations for one or more great States in Alaska. and that is work that not only vaiy interests every citizen of this great North ern Empire. but n Is work that concerns the genera lions tha, are to come and those who might join us in the days Of the future Let the Democratic party Of Alaska do It's part in the work
