 RAILWAY NOW
 CUTTING DOWN

FAIRBANKS, NOV. lb.-W1th the coming of winter and frost condi- tions which preclude the possibility of construction and maintenance work being continued on the gov ernment railroad in the same scale as is possible in the summer time, a curtailment of the work has be- come necessary and as conse- quence several maintenance gangs have been laid off.
 On the line between Fairbanks and Chatanika all section men have been laid off, only the foremen be- ing retained and they will act as track walkers on their respective sections. One section foreman and six men are retained temporarily for the handling and distribution of fuel but it is expected that these men too will be laid off soon.
 On the line between Fairbanks and Nenana, conditions are the same except section 1 composed of the | foreman and six men. This gang will be retained for some time to take care of mass of rock in a side cut, near Mile 412. The rock which is of a schisty formation ap pears to have been cracked by the | frost and show signs of sliding on the track. When this impeachment has been cleared, these men, too will be laid off.
 1 All the messes along the line have been closed and the men retained in the service during the winter will | board themselves.
 No reductions have as yet been made in the office and store staff. Capt. Norman Marion of the steamer Seattle III, and a party of seven other steamboat men, left here last week for Nenana on their way to the great outside by the Broad Pass route.

 They will mush it from steel to steel and hope to arrive in the states long before their comrades who will leave over the Richardson highway. It is understood that the squadron has placed bet of con- siderable size on the outcome of the trip.

He made the cross. ing about four miles up river from the army town.

No Booze Deaths
Found Although
Gossip Is Rife

Not bit of truth in it," This is
the chorused assertion of Salem phvsi
clans, hospital uperintendents, under
takers and hotel managers in answer
TO inquiries resulting from rumors that
number of men had died in this city
recently as result of drinking poison
Gus "moonshine" liquor.
One current report has it that two
men died in one night at local hotel.
While another rumor indicated that a
guest at another hotel had died after
drinking wood alcohol. Dame Grundy
mad added to these assertions until it
was whispered that six persons had
died and each demise kept secret be-
cause of alleged connection with the
Elks convention. Investigation by The
Journal brought the same reply "un-
founded rumor."
Only One Instance.
Only one near-serious alcoholic case
was reported last week and this by
Manager A. N. Pierce, of the Marion
hotel, who states that middle-aged
man who had apparently over
INDUCED in intoxfcants was found ly-
ing by the roadside few miles from
Salem and brought to the Marion ho-
tel by party of Elks who were pass
ing by. Manager Pierce assisted in To-
eating physician for the sufferer and
made sure that he was placed in a
local hospital. The man, who did not
disclose his identity, was released from
the hospital in the evening and later
observed taking part in the festivities.

Democratic Convention Snapshots
The Story Of Nominations
By A. H. VANDENBERG
The Convention OF 1919

Ihe outcome of the Democratic ma :
tlonal convention of 1916 was a fore
gone conclusion months before the del
egates assembled in ST. Louis on june
-. president Wilson was in complete
command of the situation. Ex-Gcy-
ernor Martin Glynn of New York was
temporary chairman.
me arrival of Secretary Of War
Baker as President Wilson's personal
representative-the night before the
convention-promptly tablished a
harmony program: (1) because Sec
retary Baker brought the news that
President Wilson desired Vice .Presi-
dent Marshall renominated; f2) be-
cause Baker effectually disposed of a
Vicepresidential boom which had been
launched in his own behalf. Baker
also brought the presidents own draft
of a proposed platform; and every
thing was ready for sure, swift and
amicable action.
Governor Glynn's opening address
was tremendous eulogy of Presiden..
Wilson and his policy of maintaining
the United States in world war ncu-
trality. Senator James of Kentucky,
as permanent chairman, followed with
e'ii Nuqoiis S1ioWiS dppelEODHe TO w H.
sons attitude in foreign affairs. At
the end of the second day the ira cN
was cleared for nominations, and I,res-
ident' Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey
and president Thomas r. Mar
shall of Indiana were both re-norni-
mated by acclamation. One roll caY
for president gave Wilson 1092--just
one lone delegate from Illinois DIS
senting.
The only real convention contest
came over woman suffrage plank IN
the platform. A minority report sought
to declare suffrage purely "A state in
sue; but it was voted down ShS1s to
1S1 " after Senator Walsh cf Montana
had told the convention that Pr.s,-
dent Wilson himself considered
national suffrage plank vital
to party success.
Although Bryan was not officially
i'll attendance at the convention -hav-
ing been defeated for delegate in his
home state-he was present as re-
porter in the press box. And perhaps
the most spectacular single incident
hf the whole convention was the in
that he be called to The plat
firm to speak. These demands inter-
rupted the first days proceedings SO
eeefctually that the chairman had to
promise Bryan would be heard later.
The evening of the second day he was
formally invited by motion from the
floor and received a tremendous ova-
ton.
The ultimate result of his campaign !
was president wilson's reelection by a
margin of one state.
