NOT WITH GOOD GRACE.

Mr. Cobb's criticism of the recent Democratic convention in which two or three delegates had a gooa many proxies did not come with good grace from him. Mr. Cobb has sat in conventions in Alaska for years and more often than otherwise it has been with pockets full of proxies. He boasted before the conyening Of the last Democratic cou- ventou that he would have To, of proxies in it, and he went to the convention hall to use those that had been entrusted to him. His indignation against proxies dated from the discovery that others had more proxies than he had. and that those holding the proxies had been instructed by the originally elected delegates in conference within their own Dt visions to nominate Mir. Grgsby for Attorney-Gene- eral.
 No matter what he might say in furtherance of his own candidacy Alr. Cobb knows that the recent Democratic Territorial convention was more nearly representative of the Democratic party than any other convention that was ever held in Alaska.

MAKING HEAVY WEATHER

The Dispatch is having a hard time of 1t in try- ing to be the spokesman Of the Republican party and the Wickersham party-the organized party and the Follow Wick" party. Witness the following:
 "How many corporations are supporting
 Wickersham3 How many are supporting Su
 ger? The answer rests with the voters"
 That is the Follow Wick voice and not the Re publican It is the demagOgue. trying to set class against class and not the developing citizen, urging cooperative action for the development government and resources in Alaska.

CObbs brief won the cases It consisted of verbatim copy of Judge Jen- nings' decision There was not argument advanced nor an authority quoted except those in the Courts decision Mr. Cobb simply quoted the decision of Judge Jennings word for word and authority for authority and let it go that Mr. Cobb is entitled to credit for recognizing good decision and good argument when he saw it-One that won the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals for him.

Suppose Sulzer had been the delegate
 when the Democratic Alexander bill was
 introduced. instead of Wickersham, what would
 be the result? Is it possible Mir. Sglzer, who
 is a harmony" candidate would have fought
 the administration bill? Hardly Dispatch.
 Why did The Empire oppose it long before any of the hearings at Washington? Why did Gov. Strong oppose it? Why did Senator Adrch oppose it' Why was the Democratic platform the first political de- claration against it in Alaska? Why does the Dis patch constantly act like victim of the foolish powder habit?

 This "commtec" is composed of the radical members of former federal industrial relations commission, and former Chairman Walsh s identified with the present unofficial body which has taken standpoint svorng of the soap box orator. Here is a sample of the press matter:
 Is the commercial and industrial imperialism of Morgan. Rockefeller Vmdcrip and Gv to be backed by aI imperialism? Are to give them battlcshps and big armies to collect debts and o protect Wall street dollars al ready bloody with exploitation home from the wrath of the exploited people of foreign lands?
 about the biggest question of policy this country has had to determine since the Civil
 preparedness champions profess fear of foreign in They ask if this country not to defend its liberties The real question is this:
 Do you prefer to take your chances with imaginary sickencd of miliarism'
 Or do prefer to assent while this democracy is conquered from within, by act of Congress-?
 For if there's any difference between United States Steel Standard Oil and the worst mtarist ruling class in Flu rope the advantage is with the latter far democracy liberty and the rights of concerned Remember Youngstown, Bayonne and Colorado
