AS VIEWED AT NENANA,

Nenana, the new railroad town or the Panama river, has a Democratic club, and it is one of size. Delegate Wickersham is evidently not popular with the Nenana Democrats, as evi denced by the following address by R F. Burns before the members oi the club recently. He said:
 Here in Alaska. now matter how well qualified a man or woman may be to vote for president, owing tC our political status, we are barred frage in national affairs. Therefore the only method of expression the people of Alaska have in this re- spect. of showing their approval ol disapprOval of the acts of a president is by their vote for their representa- tive at Washington. Naturally, il faith the same as that of the admin. istration is an expression of approval
 "'Fhe man or woman who says the, are supporters of Woodrow Wilson and also James Wickersham. I be lieve. to say the least, is illogical II is immaterial how vOciferous MT Wickersham or his admirers may be come in telling us that we owe the railroad to him, we know that it was an Administration measure, and without the untiring efforts of Wood row Wilson and that great and true friend of Alaska, Mir. Franklin K Lane. our railroad would still be al lair castle," instead of reality be fore our eyes. And hold that wheT MT. Wickersham, for what he thought the best interests of his political for tune, denounced the Wilson admins tration which gave to him and his constituents railroad, he committed an act of ingratitude that no true Alaskan can overlook. And I also hold that the people of Alaska can with equal consistency, send as theil delegate to Congress an Egyptian mummy or James Wickersham un der a Wilson administration. The, will be equally eloquent and power less.
 We can logically anticipate tn, reelection of MT. Wilson. The pas sage of the S-hOur law marks the eli max to a long list of constructive and far-reaching legislation; it Ina. so cemented the interests of the work ingmen to the cause of Woodrow Will son that we cannot entertain the thought but what these services vii be appreciated and rewarded at the polls"
 MT. Burns made some further re marks, but he struck the nail square. ly on the head when he said that nc man or woman could consistently vote for Wickersham and call himself or herself a follower of President Will. son.

|tMe and Ma," First Concerts
Made in Campaign in Zowa

When Miss Flora Dunlap, presi-
dent of the Iowa Equal Suffrage as
ISOLATION, was here in October, as
the honor guest at the Civic league
luncheon, she told the story Of the
first converts made in an automobile
trip across the state three years ago
when the Iowa campaign began This
automobile trip was about the only
spectacular thing the Iowa women
have done, and it, was undertaken by
the advice OF Governor Clark and
others who said it was the most eff
fective way to let the state know that
a suffrage campaign was being in
augurated. The plan was to go from
town to town and hold open air
meetings in a public square or on a
street corner, speaking from an auto
mobile.
There were then very few suf-
frage associations in the state and
Miss Dunlap wrote in advance to
the mayor of the town, telling him
they were coming and asking him to
announce the meeting. One night
they were late reaching town, and
1t was after dark and no moon.
Now If there is anything darker
than a little town on a moonless

night, we don't know what it is. AS
they drove down the street they
could hear people talking on the
porches and by the lights on the car,
see here and there a man on the
street. They stopped before a
house and the chauffer asked where
the mayor lived. A little girl per
haps ten years old, came to the
fence, and when they told her their
mission, she said, 'TIl take you to
the house. So she directed the way,
standing on the step of the automo-
bile
When they reached the house, the
mayors wife said he had gone to the
barber shop. Again the child, like
the little red hen, said I'll take you
there Finally they found the mayor
who upon being asked where they
were to speak, said why, I'd give
you folks up"
Miss Dunlap told him they would
speak in the park If he'd get gaso-
line light and drum, they would get
the crowd with the drum while he
put up the light. He said he could
get the light but he didn't know any
thing about drum. The little girl
who had stayed by, said 81 know

where there's drum" She piloted
them to house where boy
owned bass drum. She and Miss
Dunlap went to the house and asked
for the loan OF the drum, which was
readily given, but the boy wouldn't
beat the drum. And again the little
girl volunteered her aid, and Miss
Dunlap held the drum in place on
the automobile and the little girl
pounded away until the crowd gather
ed. Miss Dunlap and the Others of
the party felt that the child had
helped them so much that they gave
her fifty cents, which after protest,
she accepted. They had their meet

which they distributed literature and
passed the hat for a collection to aid
the campaign. When they counted

IL the majority of the people any
where are dissatisfied with it, why
is there no move to repeal it?
If it leads mothers to neglect their
children, why is the lowest infant
death rate in the world found in New
Zealand?
If it increases divorce. why did
Colorado grant 935 divorces the year
before women were given the ballot
and only 597 the year after?
Ii 1t Is demoralizing, why did only

If the majority of women are on

States Joined the widely advertised
National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage. according to that
associations own figures?
If the majority of women are op-
posed in Massachusetts. where an ac-

been gathering signatures of women
against suffrage ever since 1895. why
has it succeeded in twenty years in
accommodating the names of only about
three percent Of the women of the

Among the millions Of citizens

the opponents of equal suffrage thus
far failed to find a dozen respectable
men who assert over their own names

results?

why has no organization of any kind
in a suffrage state ever passed a reso-

it can never be recalled?
