Two Personalities.
tNew York Times )

It is common remark that party ties apt to rest more lightly upon the voters this year than ever before. great amount of cross-voting is expected. This forecast may not be justified by the event Old political associations and labels still count heavily with millions of Amer- can citizens. But however that may be, it is not likely that many will be much influenced by party platforms. Those adopted at Kansas City and at Houston recall the humorous definition by public officer of the word delegation" He said that it "a of multitude, signify ing many, but not much" The many words of long political platforms, which few will read and still fewer remember, can scarcely play "a leading part in the coming Presidential cam pagn. On the contrary, it seems apt to develop into comparison and contest between two men Secretary Hoover and Governor Smith.
 Personality is still thS most interesting thing in the world. even in politics. And the two lead ing candidates for the Presidency are each of marked individuality. Both have this in common that they are self-made men. Both have strug- gled upward from obscure beginnings and ad- verse environment It is truly fortunate for Americans that they are to have a choice be- tween two candidates of both of whom it may be said that they of strong and rugged char acter and of outstanding quality. Of course the likenesses must not be pressed too far.

Power of the Discredited.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

If William S. vare of Pennsylvania ever was shorn of his political power-which is much to be doubted-he had managed to recoup it by the time of the opening of the Republican National Convention at Kansas City
 All the arts of speculation all the devices or suggestion known to repertorial ingenuity and resourcefuness had been employed in pre- senting Secretary Mellon to the public as the master spirit of the convention, the Warwick of the hour, the mystery man who hid behind the quiet reserved and modest demeanor of diff dent nature the spirit and the dreams-and the power-of Richelieu.
 The eyes of the world were fixed upon the Secretary, who was supposed to hold the keys Of Presidential destiny in his capable fingers
 Then 1t happened In the flash of an eyewink the world knew what the Pennsylvania delega- ton designed to do-at least what it designed to do if William s. Ware, pronounced unworthv to sit in the Senate by the membership of that body, should have his way about it.
 This startling reverberation broke upon the snehce or the Secretary of the Treasury as a clap or thunder from smiling tropical sky. It produced immediate result The Secretary smoke

 And Ware did it, no matter what he may or may not be. It is probable that he deserves la bit of ironc satisfaction in having been able to get under the political fifth ribs of certain contenders for high office who thought him not good enough to sit in the Senate
 Similarly but not in the same connection. colonel Theodore Roosevelt and former Senator Wadsworth, of New York. made political history in New York politics not agreeable to some of

THAT ALASKA PLANK.

Newspapers in the Territory generally have commended the Alaska plank in the Democratic platform as adopted by the Houston convention It is definitely committed to extension of com pete Territorial self-government while the plank in the Republican platform is noncommittal, the platform makers of the latter party being content with an endorsement of present Administration policies and pledge that they will be continued The Alaska Weekly published in Seattle, not only comments the Democratic platform for it's Alaska policy but reminds it's readers that Al aska must acknowledge it's greatest debt of grati- tude for those measures which have made de- velopment possible" to the Democratic Party It also credits John w Troy, Editor of The Empire and delegate to the Houston convention for the party's stand Mr Troy chosen on the platform committee by his fellow delegates and the plank prepared by him voiced the views of the entire delegation and the views, also, ol the Democratic Party in Aaska, as expressed in it's Territorial convention in Seward last January
 The editorial of the Seattle paper follows:
 John w. Troy, veteran Democrat and newspaperman of Juneau, very evidently made himself felt on the platfrom com mittee at the Houston convention Judg- ing by the plank in the platform which outlines the policy of the Democratic Party regarding the Territory of Alaska. John Troy dummy director" on any board and when his ability was recognized by appoint ment to the important platform com mittee it foregone conclusion that the platform would contain strong plank definitely committing the party with regard to it's intentions concerning the Territory he represented at the con- vention.
 This paper is non-p partisan strictly the writer a lifelong Republican but fair-minded person can fail to admit that, speaking from national view point it is to the Democratic Party that Alaska must acknowledge it's greatest debt of gratitude for those measures which have made Territorial develop ment possible. Theodore Roosevelt over excited by his friend Clifford Pinchot, tied up of the Territorys great sources and worked great injustice many Alaskans-Woodrow Wilson's ad- mnstration gave our railroad. Then Harding's visit. No one ever made beautiful speech concern ing Alaska than did the late President Harding, but when it was boiled down we discovered that he had given per mission to work out our salvation as best we could but had done nothing toward taking off the shackles which prevented our availing ourselves of the privilege eloquently granted
 The plank in the platform of the Democratic Party as adopted at Hous- ton states in unequivocal terms the belief of the party that Alaska is titled to Home Rule and has proved her capacity for self-government. That the Territory should have that right the first right of every American com monwealth no one deny. Given en- larged powers of legislation and a group of administrative and judicial officials chosen from the ranks of Alaskans them selves and the Territory would rapidly develop into readiness for Statehood.
