The Democratic Machine?
Anchorage Democrat.) )

Anchorage DemOcrat)
 Who is this so-called Democratic machine? It is simply the who standing behind President Wilson in Alaska It is organization of men, Dem ocratic in politics who desirOus of seeing na- tional support given to the administration at Wash tngton, who are desirous of seeing the people of Alaska handle the affairs of Alaska. They are the who supporting Delegate Sulzer in his cam paign for larger more complete better defined and more workable Territorial form of government
 Who the men that are hOfering down with the machine and trying Ito make people who will not investigate the facts believe that there is something radically wrong with the Democratic in Alaska who unselfish enough to devote their time and their own money to the futherance of public af fairs?
 First, they few od-line dyedn- the wool Re- publicans who doing it for the sake of politics.
 Second, they are bunch of common wealth wreck who standing behind Wickersham and not Wickersham win and the Territory lose than to the Territory win and Wickersham lose.
 Third, they bunch of disgruntled socialists, who account of their activities partisans inn medately after the United States declared war; have forever divorced themselves from the decent element of the nation
 And, ffth there few people who styled them selves Democrats immediately after Wilson elect ed in 1912 of whom held fat offices for a while, but who out campaign of ruin, simply because their true political complexion has been shown up.
 All of these are hoering openly and lying secretly about the who trying to help the national minstration and the Territorial program of greater power for the common people of Alaska in the man. agement of their own local affairs.

THE SPECIFICATIONS

Plain speaking begets plain speaking. President Wilson's clear definition of the principles upon which peace must be founded finds response from England in Arthur Balfour's specific itemizaton of objects The two speeches fit together. There can be league of nations to abolish without such readjustment among nations as will abolish conditions that would justify war.
 Those conditions they exist, can be summed up the oppression .Of weaker peoples by more powerful peoples, exemplifed in the op- pression of the Slavs in Austria; the oppression of the Poles from all sides and the oppression of the peoples of Western Russia under the Brest-Litoysk outrage, msnamed treaty.
 MT. Bafour plainly that the hand of Ger many must be lifted from the territories that are rightfuly French, Belgian, Polish and Russian that the Slavs must be free; that Italy must be united, and that Turkey be forever prevented from exercising Its bloody rule of unwilling sub jects.
 Those who do not readily apprehend general prin- ciples can understand these specific objectes and if they fight for them they also fight for the principles upon which peace must be established.

MRS. HATCHER VIOLATES COMMANDMENT OF
 HOLY WRIT

When Mrs. Hatcher said in interview in the Cordova Herald that Federal official connected with the administration of justice and connected with law enforcement in the First Division lis known to be opposed in policy and practice to prohibition. she said what and is false and what is known in the First Division to be false If Mrs Hatcher knows the facts she pretends to know them she directly and maiiciously broke the eighth commandment of Holy Writ by bearing false witness. If she spoke lightly and frvolously the subject she forfeited any right to pose mentor and political adviser of moral forces. In either she proved beyond question that she is simply partisan Wickite po- tican and that she has adopted the Wckite methods of trying to gain votes by what appears to her the best methods at her command.
 But that is not the worst of Mrs. Hatcher's of lenses of direct misrepresenta therefore not her most aggravang violation of the Commando dments of the Book. She said:
