Nome, Alaska, NOV. I2, I9l {. To the Industrial Worker.
 Gentlemen. I wish you to put this in your parer aLd give it the front seat.
 Ladies and Gentlemen, I am de- mocrat for over forty years, but l am no jobber.
 The Saturday night meeting we he'd certainly was some meeting
 landed in Portland, Ore, ln 1876 and I landed amongst the Irish and l gues: you all know what a Irishman'e religion is with the excpetion of a few, and that but very few, they are easy counted.- They will turn heaven and hell and turn their coat five hundred times over as long as there is hand out in sight Now Ladies and Gentle men, where were all those good de- mocrats four years ago at the time of the President-Election when we took a straw vote at Yorkey Cigar store ana Woodrow Wilson was elected we had scarcely a corporals guard and do you know where they were?
 I will tel. you: behind some kncwl or willow bush, watching and waiting for the tide to turn when the water started to run they came down in droJes and joined the ranks, there was a line from Snake River Grocery to the City Hall and all good democrats and all reaching for front seat. Look at Saturday night, there was no less than a hundred put their names to the roll some of them have drawn a salary for the last four years in the Gov crnment employ and some were in the employ of the government in 1889 when Lee was Marshal. Ladies and Gentlemen I dc not wish to go into details but if they step on my corns I will explode and I will bet you a coon skin against your old hat it will make an old grizzly shiver or set all the malamutes in own a howliug.
 Now Ladies and Gentlemen, ask you this, be easy, you have started a fire under the political pot. Don't let it boil over like it done four years ago throwing slurs and threats but have patience. i met Judge Holzheimer twice and only for few seconds and I think he is man that will put in good ma terjal wherever he has vacant space or control to do so, and don't believe that any republican stoolpigeon can come to him and boost for his friends as has been done in this division. Now Ladies and Gentlemcn 1 ask you how many men are there employed in the fed nral offices that were democrats be- fore the President Election? Can you count them, 1 can. There is one and his name is Jerry Collins. There was Aliens, or now citizens who maybe still are drawing a salary in that court house. If you are a democrat you can hunt them up yourself,
 Ladies and Gentlemen, is this what 1 am writing, a democratic ad- ministration, do the peo- pie outside do what is done here in Alaska, especially here in this divi- | sion, or do they know what is done here but you can bet your sweet life that some of them dc know it.. Ladies and Gentlemen I am writing this as true blue democrat and not l as a jobber, I am sixty five years of age, good mechanic and l have good shop, but still there is mo- anything that I eau make a honest dollar I ask for nothing if I an not entitled to any thing, they can please themselves.
 I only asked once from a man that made a promise out of his own free will. l didn't receive an an swer until fate that winter or spring and in one part of his letter he said Friend Tom I am very sorry you
