 The man who headed Alaska's great est political machine is in Seattle re turning from California, where his son is attending school. Alaska's greatest democratic politician is Honorable T. J. Donohoe, democratic national Coni- mitteeman for Alaska, who so success fully manipulated polNies in the north eight years under the Wilson admin istration.
 Up to the time Committeeman DoLo hoe assumed control of patronage in Alaska the territory had been over run with carpetbaggecs. Persistent work from the office of Donohoe con yinced the Wilson administration that local recommendations shcull prevail, and Alaska appointments were largely along this line, Governor. surveyor genera. ana other major appOiuCmen.s were Alaska residents.
 For four successive years the demo cratic organization kept their aspirant on the congressional pa. :'ol.;. losing two contests on the Iiool oi ilr house. This fight was carried Oil from the of flee of the democratic master polite jan's office. Two sesslon,: of the Alas ka legislature found the democratic machine la control, and is operations were al ;i times tnOrcG"i.' oiled b. the national committeen@n
 The election last Nov5lnker in Alas ka found Chairman DuL>,l,,2 deser,eti by many Of those wno h&d been fei crumbs from his political tat,e Most rt the favored office hoi.crS had drift Cd from .ne territory, ani IL involved upon Donohoe to make his last stand. Picking his law partrer ''Tonj Di- mond. as an aspir2nt TOT the tciGitor- iai senate, the fight opened, and the official canvass was made it was found that Dimond, very peculiar man, had been elected af.
 "The Democratic party in Alaska is down, not out" said Committeeman Donohoe, to the Dispatch. By next el- ection time there will be complete ticket in every division, and I am hope ful of both national and territorial victory" Politicians north hold Com mitteeman Donohoe in high esteem. When he looks most worried he some times plans the greatest victory. He is a lawyer by profession, and has been in Alaska over twenty years.
