SHOULD BE NO CONFLICT

The voters must not permit those who are play ing the game of politics for what there is in it for them or for the purpose or satatng their malice or hate or envy or desire for revenge to msguide them into believing that there is any fight between the eepse Of full Territorial form of government and statehood. Those who are urging full Territorial form Of government now understand that it is necessary step toward Statehood. They want State hood but they want Alaska to govern herself while she is making her fight for Statehood There should be no conflict between those who fight for seltgoy ernment The gang that is fighting for Statehood and against full Territorial form of government are doing SO because Wickersham is opposed to selfgoyernment and knows that Statehood is not near.

PROMOTING sECTIoNALsM
Chicago Herald)

Chicago HeralO
 Certain newspapers are doing all they can to in. feet sectional bitterness into the present campaign They harp on the idea that the South IS m the saddle" at Washington-that the Democratic party IS essentially a sectional party. Exhibit "A offered m evidence is that of the important chairmanships in Congress are now held by southern men.
 Imagine the Republican party in power How many of the main committee chairmanshipa would be held by southern menl The evidence that the Re publican party is a strictly sectional affair would m that case be more complete than the evidence that such is the character of the Democratic party. In fact there is always plenty of material for anybody on either side who has reason for introducing sec' tionalism as an argument into a national campaign
 Most farminded men will agree that party Is to be judged by its deeds rather than by its com mittee charmanships If it's performances have been sectional rather than national the criticism justly lies against t If it's legislation has been national In out look and spirit the criticism degenerates into petty partisanship and disngenuous carping.
 With political parties as with everything else re- suits count and performance is the decisive test It matters little to a reunited country whether the good is done by southern men or northern men. The Ques- ton is what has been done?" and "has it been done for the country the whole country and nothing but the country?" And the political leader who is sup ported by a sectional appeal may well pray to be delivered from his friends.
