ADVANTAGES SET FORTH

The advantages of holding party convention in con- nection with the primary law manifest very strong ly in the Democratic convention held in Seward and pecay in the selection of candidates As pos sble fair distribution made amongst the four di- visions and the communities in the four divisions.
 Every effort was made to put the best man in each division the ticket Aso the average voter not talk ing much interest in party politics, has opportunity, by studying the platform published in this issue and adopted to know the principles and policies advocated by the Democratic candidates and therefore is better able to form opinion prior to going to the pols

INTERESTING NEWS LETTER
 RECEIVED FROM OUTSIDE

The Publisher of the Nugget re- ceived an interesting letter from an old Nomeite friend who h now wintering in California in which . lot of old sourdoushs. we'll known J in Nome, are mentioned. Portions of the letter are printed herewith as it is of much interest:
 The writer speaks of visiting the Alaska Club. of which Roy Os- borne is the president. The Club meets regularly and enjoys social evenings at Oakland.
 The writer met at the club sev- eral old Nomeites among whom | were Fred Brown, former Judge of the Third Division. Allison and Mrs. Bruner. Charley and Mrs. Walstein. John and Mrs. Bagge. MT. and Mrs. Jack Rierdon. Char ley Silverton. Al and Mrs. Dilge. John Paul Jones and Mrs. Jones, Cher name now, however. Is not Jones). Mrs. Caldwell, Mrs. Van derworker and her son. Mrs. l.. Stevenson and Ingeborg. Mrs. An dy Anderson. Mrs. Larson. Mrs. Breeding, the Ivory girls who used to live in Nome. and their mother, Hazel Murray and her sister. both born in Nome, but now young la dies. Hazel Is now married. Charley Ekstein was at the Club and he is looking fine and says he is feeling fine.
 There were some thirty or forty other old timers there whose names the writer does not recall, but he says that when they were strung out playing cards and dancing one could we'll imagine that he was back in the Eagle Hall at Nome.
 He says he attended the Geary Theatre recently and saw Bessie Love in "Burlesque," bright. bub bling back stage comedy. She was good in the movies but is much better. the writer says. on the legit innate stage.
 Politically, the writer says, bets are being made that Mir. Hoover will not be nominated on the G. O.

P. ticket. and that If he is nomin- ated. . Democrat will beat him in the Fall election. And the same goes. he says. if silent Cal" Is drafted. The Teapot Dome oil scandal has grown So rotten. and is being traced right square into the |'G. o. P. National Committee. 1t is growing doubtful if any Republican can be elected President.
 The writer continues. When such men as Senator Capper come out and openly say that the c. o. P. stench from the oil scandal Is the r0ttenest thing in American history and that they will have to purge the Republican Party or the ship Is sunk, 1t Is believed that even "Si- lent Cal" has too much oil smell upon his skirts to be able to put it over again in an election.

Especial Nugget Correspondence)
 Unalakleet, Mar 90, '2S Nugget. Nome.
 Last night farewell dance. un- der the auspices of MT. and Mrs. Neilly. was given to MT. Traeger, l who left today by plane for the | outside on business and pleasure bent. MT. Traeger expects to come in via Fairbanks as soon as the ice breaks up in the river.
 The dance was a success. Youth and beauty graced it and the waxed and polished floor was made still brighter by the looks of pleasure in the shining eyes of the dancers, and the Yukon, in the person of MT. La Belle, joined hands with many of the familiar representa- ives of the Boring Sea. The old ladies sat by themselves comment ing on the decadence of the modern youth and claiming they never did 1t when they were young, and what was the world coming to anyway, but when the ice cream and cake made their appearance they wiped the salt crystals from their peri scopes and said that maybe after all 1t was not so bad.
 The plane made beautiful land ing on the ice back of the town at 1:30 D. m., two hours out of Nome, and was greeted by the town folks en masse. In half an hour it was gone carrying another passenger in the person of Mir. Traeger. The dogs set up a melancholy howl at sight of the plane and the burden of their song was perhaps. Our occupation, like Othello's, is gone" MT. Butler. the U. s. Commis- sioner from St. Michael was here a few days ago. He met Mir. Warren and the two returned to St. Michael together. Unalakleet is honored. or rather her needlewomen are, in being sell ected to provide the footgear and mittens needed for the Antarctic Expedition under Commander Byrd. MT. Boyno got the contract to sup ply one thousand dollars worth of winter gear for the expedition and is now busy with the contract. In selecting the fur workers of Unala- kleet for the work, no mistake has been made for they have long been famous for the excellence of their work and 1t is to be hoped that their work will be the means of keeping comfortable the men that we hope will add to the work of Shackleton, Scott and Amundsen. the heroic explorers who preceded them.
 News has been received to the effect that Tom Moon Is still pros pectins near Bonanza and that i've rent pans are not uncommon. Billy :, Nelson was with him for . while

CALDWELL ASSA|LS
RADIO LIMIT PLAN.
Would Wreck Broadcast
Structure and Cheat Listen
er, Says Commissioner.

The surcst way to wreck the present
broadcasting structure Is to enact the
equal distribution of radio" amend
mcnt now before the House, Commits
sioner Caldwell Of the Federal Radio
Commission declared today in formal
statement, which calculated the effect
of the redistribution clause on sta
lions in various sections of the country.
The amendment attacked by Cald-
well would require among other things
that equal powers wave lengths and
licenses be granted to the present five
radio zones.
IF the American people want to sec
our present wonderful radio broadcast
ing structure wrecked. enactment of
this objectionable redistribution clause
is the surcSt way for Congress to carry
out that purpose" he said.
Listeners Get Little.
Indeed, the radio listeners have had
little so far at the hands Of their rep
rcsentatiyeS in Washington, despite the
earnest efforts of certain individuals In
Congress to solve this problem in its
true radio aspects of real public service"
Commissioner Caldwell Is one of the
three present members of the commits
sion whose nominations have not been
confirmed. E. .. Sykes of Mississippi il
the only member whose nomination has
been approved
In letter to Thomas F.. Burley of
station WCAP, at Asbury Park N. j.,
the commissioner pointed out that the
i in, n
ern, or third. zone would become thr
limit of power under this provision for
the important first zone, composed of
the Eastern and New England States.
and would require that many of the
largest stations in that section be
closed.
The commissioner explained that New
jerseys share Of power would be 5000
watts under the proposed redistribution
instead of the nearly $4,000 watts now
being used.
Would Cut Good Programs.
corresponding calculations can be
performed for other States" he said
showing the havoc to radio listeners
which such law would bring for New
York and New Jersey stations furnish
programs to the whole country. and
particularly TO the South"
The II New Jersey stations would
have TO operate at greatly diminished
power or else cease operations. Caldwell
wrote, pointing out that station WIZ
now employs 10000 watts. while station
WOR uses 5000 watts. The former sta
ton has an investment of 100000. he
added. while others have investments
nearly as large.
The States in the Southern zone. con-
siderng the farm population, In whose
behalf the changes are dedicated. have
a proportion of radio listeners under 5
per cent of their population, he said
while So per cent Of the New Jersey
farmers and 80 per cent In New York
have radios. and Western States have
similar high proportion.
The commissioner closed with yours
