 .------- -- ---------- world-a land that surposses the dreams of the most imaginative per son-a land the grandeur of which no words in any language can ade- Quately describe. The word wonder land has meaning to us that 1t never possessed before. All the ad- jectiyes of our language seem to hold new and inner meanings, and the beauties and grandeur of Alaska have an influence over one like the subtle thrills of exquisite music; feel ings never to be forgotten. Beyond all questions Alaska is the greatest storehouse of nations wealth upon this earth. and everywhere the dor mant possibilities of this great em- pire seem to be unbounded and un- fold a vision of the future that is astounding. and 1t is certain that the riches of Alaska will continue for generations to astonish the Ma tion.
 Conditions Prosperous
 "We found in all sections prosper ous conditions. buoyant spirit a loyal and patriotic love for the Northland, an abiding faith in the continued increasing greatness Of all parts of our Territory. If this were more manifest at any particular spot I think it was at Marshall on the Lower Yukon, recently renamed by the Postoffice Department - Fortuna Ledge. We met there Frank H. Waskey, Alaska's first Delegate to Congress and many old-time Alas kans. and without exception they displayed a confidence and enthus- iasm in this Gew placer gold camp that spoke volumes and it would not be surprising that here would de- yelop Alaska's next big gold placer camp. They expect cleanup of S2OO.OOO this season and the camp has just started.
 Nome is having very prosper ous season, the Ruby section is do- ing well. and Fairbanks is conduct ing much business with the new railroad city of Nenana and with the Toloyana section and is becom- ing an agricultural center To the Westward the copper production is marvellous and everywhere great re- sources await development.
 Political Situation Excellent

Well. it is most favorable. it is far better than anticipated or expected. l am exceedingly pleas ed with the development of the campaign and the conditions are most satisfactory everywhere have been which includes all points Of the Territory excepting Seward and Anchorage. After returning home for a day or two 10 look after my business and making a campaign through the First Division. l shall return Co the Westward and finish the campaign at Anchorage. Every where throughout the Territory the Democrats are most confident and enthusiastic and are working with the thought Of certain victory We will carry the Second Division by a large majority. and was astound- ed by the change in sentiment throughout the Interior The Yu- kon will give me a good majority and conditions in the Fairbanks section have radically changed and we are all confident.
 Every meeting have held has been largely attended and an enthus- iastic reception has been accorded me and hundreds of former support CTS Of my opponent have pledged me their votes and their active support at the coming election.
 Republicans In Line
 'I will receive a very large Re publican vote throughout the Terri tory. Republicans everywhere have been. generally speaking, refuse to recognize Judge Wickersham as a Republican and are supporting me. In many precincts of the Third Di- vision that were formerly Wicker sham strongholds the vote this year will be reversed. Many who have pre- viously followed him have swung to our cause. Under any conditions our friends Of the Third Division are confident that we will win in that district
 Summing up the conditions in the whole Territory it seems certain that the voters have determined to turn from the old factional and sectional hinnn,.inn, and ,1rifn in srnnnrIinr q
