 This is what will happen again once the old Tories are in the saddle There will be further con- servaton until under the present aftermath of the partys mistaken policy none but the interests can afford to lease acquire natural resources in Alaska.
 The Republican viewpoint is purely eastern Its stalwarts drawn from that wing of society that from the divine right principle worshppers.
 Contrasting the catastrophe following the con- servation is the attitude of the present admin istraton. Secretary Daniels right when he told the people of Anchorage that President Wilson was of broad vision, and that vision had extended to Alaska. He did not rest with sending experts to Alaska gather data the Territory and it's needs work along economic schedules that looked well on paper but played havoc in their application He did something other president has done he dispatched of his most important Cabinet members to An chorage, who attred in overals and jumper, crawed through the coal mines and with their eyes something expert could tell them and make them understand They secured physical evidence Of what here, and returned to Washington singing our praises and telling the remainder of the world that opportunity unbounded awaited them here They did not lounge on push-covered cushions ob servaton and view things from the window or accept verbal reports of these possibilities. but iii springesS wagons rough roads to the farm ing district or walked along oozy trails to the head steel and mingled with the people ascertain their every need and pledged themselves to try and meet gtheir requirements.

It sprang into existence in North Dakota where it had dominated the Repub- lican Party for the last few years and where it won of the Republican nominations this year Its method of operation is capture the organization of one of the old parties each State In most of the States where it is strong it has made it's assault the Republicans In Montana it has claimed the Democratic Party.

The difference between Alaska and the Northwest is that here the Socalistc element has been called Wickite'' instead of 'Nonpartisan' Two years ago it captured the Republican nomination for Delegate to Congress by default and tried capture the Democratic primaries by voting in them They lost out in the Democratic primaries, and their candidate running Republican lost the Deegateship fight in the November election This the Sociastic element tried to capture the Republican organization and ticket. It failed get the organization when J. C. Mcbride, leading bus- ness of Juneau, defeated Charles E. Heron for National Committeeman and George C. Hazelet, a lead ing business of Cordova, elected Dele gate to the Republican National Convention. It also failed to nominate it's legislative ticket in the First Division. It did, however, nominate the Republican candidate for Delegate Congress, by default, and the candidate for Attorney General
 In North Dakota believers in democracy, whether they be Democrats Republicans, should vote for the Democratic candidates where they running against Nonpartsan League candidates In Montana, Democrats and Republicans who believe in the Ameri- principle of democracy, should vote for the Repub lican candidates where they running against Nonparisan League candidates. In Alaska, those who support the principles of American democracy, the principles of Jefferson and Lincoln, should for the Democratic nominees for Delegate to Congress and Attorney General.
