Kansas City, June II. GU. P.)
The doors of the hall where
Caruso sang, where Bernhardt
played Camille and where Bryan
was nominated in 1900 will be
thrown open to $4,000 delegates
and spectators early tomorrow
for the 10th quadrennial Repub-
lican National Convention.
Rows on rows Of old-fashioned
kitchen chairs for delegates fill
the main arena; concrete boxes
circle around them as in the old
Roman amphitheatre; balcony
of theatre stalls where ladies of
fashion will sit and a peanut gal
lery with circus seats await the
coming of the crowds ito parti-
cipate in the nomination of
Republican candidate.
The last of the alI-night con-
ferences of delegates will be just
breaking up as the band files in
to the vast chamber covering half
of city block, to play for the
early arrivals.
Nearby hotel lobbies are filled
with political workers. Banners
and flags wave from the ratings
of the mezzanine floors.
Pep and enthusiasm are the or
der of the nights. The business
will come later after the plat
form is adopted and the conven-
ton gets around to balloting. In
the meantime the gala routine of
organization must be complied
with. This will require at least
two days, crowded with keynote
speeches, songs, committee meet
ings, hand-shaking and off-stage
bartering among the delegates.

GARDNER THINKS ALASKAOUTLOOK IS SATISFACTORY 
Juneau Man in Ketchikan Interview Gives Optimis-
 tic View of Conditions
(Ketchikan Cnronicle)


 There is every reason to feel optimistic and there are so many constructive measures for which we can boost to drive along to- wards statehood, that we should have little time for finding fault, unless it is to correct some abuse other than imaginary" said c. T Gardner, of the logging form of Sawyer & Reynolds.
 MT Gardner arrived from Ju neau on the Alaska and is regis tered at the Ingersoll hotel. His company has two logging camp; now operating, one on Seymour Canal and the other on the Wes Coast getting out some piling, bu, mostly saw mill timber for the Juneau sawmill which started up full capacity April 1, and which has enough orders ahead. MT Gardner understands, to keer busy until snow flies.
 One of the main problems of
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-04-20

Alaskans right now" continued MT. Gardner, "is to make this northland an industrial empire for all the year employment in stead of a summer camp This will mean larger permanent population, more tonnage, lower freight rates and a lower cost of living. To help do this we must have capital, and in order to get capital We must be constructive and conservative. Instead of try sing to tax present industries out of business we should seek to get new industries and through equit- able taxation secure larger reve- nues.
 Paper and Pulp
 "1n this connection one of the most important prospective indus tries is the pulp and paper mill industry. Don Meldrum. repre- senting the Cameron and Zeiler- bach interests, has organized crew of 14 men and chartered two boats. He left Juneau April to start investigations and mapping of timber on the shores of ley Straits where there is approxi- mately 500,000,000 feet of timber which is estimated to be S5 per cent spruce.
 Tn this connection also cadas tral engineer of the United States land office is sending out a crew of surveyors to map the country along with the other party to have on hand all the data possible for logging and other firms which may neeu timber.

did everything to provoke the assem-

fused to be provoked. Thereupon the
police and detectives, led by the no,
torious bomb and industrial squaas,
and taking advantage Of a fIashiight
exploded by newspaper photographs
er, raised the cry Of "bomb," fired
their guns, and with their fists, clubs
and blackjacks waded into the crowd
of men, women and children there
assembled and dispersed them.
"a more unprovoked and brutal as
sault it is hard to imagine. We rec
ognize that the same influence that
brought the policemen's clubs and
guns into play in New York yester-
day lie behind the murders of the
Pennsylvania miners, and the sweep
ing injunctions that are being issued
by all courts in the United States
wherever labor is fighting against the
attacks of its masters.
Nevertheless we protest against
this shameful attack of the New

brutality the American workers will
find means to make known their
hatred of Hungarian fascism and
their solidarity with their struggling
Hungarian fellow-workers.

The fight for a real union and
against the slave system of the In
