A STEP FORWARD

For instance, this has been the first time within the memory of most of us when anything reSemb- ling a joint debate took place be- tween the two leading contendes for the presidency.
 The voters have heard the issues talked back and forth; they have not had to be content, as in most Presidential years, with mulling over the utterances of the candi- dates and figuring out for them selves, by reading between the lines, who was talking about whom. Nomes have been named. and quo tation and reply have been direct.
 This method of conducting cam paigns has been hoped for by many who have been seeking to get political discussions out of the murk of yelled allusion and the mire of false pride. Few will dis pute that, in theory at least, it marks a step forward.

 PLEDGES GIVEN FOR HO ME RULE
Will Seek Full Power for Territory to Control
 All Its Resources

To discuss matters affecting a Legislative program to be submit ted to Congress for Alaska, mat ters relating to patronage and other subjects, Senator Anthony J. Dimond, Delegate -elect to Con gress, arrived here Saturday night from Ketchikan and win remain until Friday before proceeding to his home in Valdez.
 He expressed in warmest terms his gratitude for the whole -hearted manner in which his candidacy was supported by Juneau and vic- ity. T do not, of course, regard this as personal tribute so much as an expression of confidence in the forthcoming Democratic 11a- tional administration to be headed by Gov Roosevelt, and sincere desire by all Alaskans for a new deal," said Senator Dimond.
 Carry Out Pledges
 T made the campaign on the program set forth by the Demo- cratic party in it's platform adopt ed at the Territorial convention at Fairbanks last January. The principal plank in that document was pledge to obtain for Alaska all of the powers of self govern ment possessed by every other American territory. It will be my chief object to carry out that promise.
 During the campaign, made a specific pledge to seek from Congress the power for the Alaska Legislature to control the fisher ies, fur and game resources of the Territory. shall exert. every fac ulty I possess to make that prom ise good.
 Attainment of these objectives cannot be achieved without a unity of Alaskan support he point e6 out. Tn order that we may reach the goals we have set, it is necessary that AlaSkans unite in a common cause and work with out dissension. I am sure that they will do so."
 Alaskans For Jobs
 In the matter of patronage, Senator Dimond's position is cer- tain to be approved by all Alas kans, whatever their party affilia- tion. T shall insist that only AL askans be appointed to fill posi- tons in Alaska" he declared we have people who are qualified for every office to be filled. and no one who is not an Alaskan will be appointed with my consent, and he added with a smile, lover my dead body"
 Tn patronage matters, shall, of course, work in closest harmony with the Territorial organization. Thus, in the filling of the offices, there are two essentials to be ob- served. First, the applicant for a position must be a bona fide AL askan and, second, he must have the endorsement of the Territorial organization" asserted the Dele gate-elect.
 Will Visit North Senator Dimond will begin his preparations to go to Washington as soon as he arrives at Valdez

For many years students of pol itics have looked forward to a day of less rigid party lines and more free thinking, quoting George Washingtons own warning about the dangers of partisan politics.
 This year, from the beginning, the Democr atic nominee di- rected his appeal across party boundaries, and asked openly for Republican votes. In the later stages of the campaign the Repub- lican nominee repeatedly asked for the support of Democrats. In many states. in far greater measure than in any other recent election, party

Such a dollar, he explained,

TRAILS FOUND
Photo

The American Indian came to
North America from Asia by
water and not, as formerly be-
lieved, by land, DR.. Ales Hrdlicka,
curator of anthropology at the
National Museum, declared last
night.
Lecturing in the museums au-
ditorium, DR.. Hrdlicka said Scien-
lists have now definitely aban-
doned their former belief that
Americas aborigines came to this
country across a "land bridge"
connecting Alaska with the
Asiatic coast. The two shores are
separated by 48 miles of water,
but this was once replaced scien.
lists held, by a narrow strip OF
land, long since submerged
The early Asiatic coastal tribes
were expert with small boats and
often iourneyed across the straits,
explained DR.. Hrdlicka, and it is
very probable that our northwest
territories were settled by hunts
men and fisherman wandering
far from their native coast. Dis
coveries recently made on Kadlak
Island by Smithsonian expedition
bear out this theory, he said.

DRY ADVOCATES
LOSE VIRGINIA
FEE FIGHT
Third Reading Reached Over
Bitter Protest of State
ProhibitioniStS

, RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 25.
The bone dry clique in the
Virginia House Of Delegates
lost the second major prohi-
bition battle of the 1882 Gen.
eral Assembly session yes
terday afternoon when the
Page bill cutting prohibition
fees to the level of other
criminal fees was advanced
to it's third reading over the
bitter protest of dry spokes-
men. The final vote was 81
to A. The bill is up for pas
sage today.
Proponents of the m easure
urged it as an economy move
aimed at the alarmingly high
criminal costs of the common
wealth.
Dry speakers declared it to be
an attack upon prohibition, shit
ing the issue from economy to
prohibition without apparent fear
that their hard-boiled challenge
would be accepted. They de-
manded in a series of speeches
that the House vote it down or
face a horde Of outraged con-
stituents.
The first vote on advancing
the bill to third reading was a
rising vote and the score was SIS
for and 81 against. The drys
thereupon truculently demanded
a recorded vote. The score was
so to a as the voting machines
flashed the result on the wall.
The successful test Of a bill
admittedly weakening in the
interest of economy some of the
most stringent provisions of the
State prohibition act, bill
sponsored by the most aggressive
wet in the assembly, Vivian
Page, of Norfolk city, came as a
stunning surprise to dry leaders
who watched the scene from the
gallery.
