Alaska Democratic Convention Meets At Juneau

JUNEAU, Jan. IT - National Committeeman Jack Hellenthal in the keynot speech at the Dem ocnatic Territorial Convention this forenoon declared that the Alaska delegation to the Nation al convention should not be in- structed but the convention should pass a resolution urging the nomination of James Farley for President unless world condi tions are such that Roosevelt should be drafted for a third term. But if there is a question of sentiment or country, there should be only one answer.
 The speaker said that Farley is the best friend Alaska ever had and much can happen between now and the national convention.
 Lew Williams, Wrangell editor, was made temporary chairman. The Credentials Committee was appointed and was to report at 1:30 this afternoon when the per manment organization affected will get down to business and is to be completed by Thursday.

ALASKA GETS RUN-AROUND ON JOBS, SAID

JUNEAU - The Empire says: Despite indignant denials by con tractors that discrimination is being practiced on the naval air base projects, Alaskan workers are still being given the run around" in the matter of employ ment, Gov. Ernest Gruening de- clared.
 On the eve of his departure for Washington where he will among a great many other things take up the project employment complaints with the Navy Depart ment, the Governor said he was satisfied despite the denials that discrimination against Alaskan workers has been and is being practiced.
 "Denials do not alter the facts Gov. Gruening said. "In addition to the manifest, demonstratable facts which I have mentioned, l have in my possession quantity of other information which indl- cates Alaskan are being given what is generally referred to as the run-around. I personally ex- perienced such run-around when I went to Sitka.
 In Seattle recently H. w. Me Curdy, president of the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Com pany, one of the contractors, des cribed Governor Gruening's com plaints as unfair and uncalled for"
 Among other things, McCurdy said:
 We think the citizens in the States are entitled to some jobs Alaska is not paying a cent for the work. the United States is paying for it. Further, it is not relief project, but national defense work.
 we are getting tired of these tirades of the Governor"

Warns Italians May Be Compelled To Enter War

ROME, Jan. IT (H) - Ettore Mutt, Secretary of the Fascist Party warned the Italians that they might be compelled "at any moment" to fight in the Europ- can war. The warning was pub lished after a conference of party leaders of 26 provinces.
 The communique advised the Italian people not to be too great ly impressed by the recent dem onstrations of international sym pathy." This evidently was in re ference to the friendly attitude displayed toward Italy by France and Great Britain since the war with Germany began.

Women Voters Back
Fight On Poll Tax

NEW YORK, (CNA) = Two
Southern white women, both from
states where the poll tax keeps
the vast majority of voters from
the polls, led a successful fight
for the adoption of a resolution
denouncing the anti-democratic
levy at the final session of the 14th
annual convention of the League
of Women Voters at Hotel Com
modore here.
The resolution called for inclu-
sion in the League legislative pro-
gram for next year of a decision
to fight for repeal of the poll tax
! bar ON voting in state and federal
+, elections.
It was introduced by Mrs. Carl
Stafford of Knoxville, Tenn, presi-
dent of the Tennessee League, but
was defeated by a majority of one
in the Leagues program commit
tee.
Sponsors of the resolution led by
Mrs. Stafford then took their
fight to the convention floor where
a vote of two-thirds was required
to bring the resolution out for
consideration.
In the fight to bring the resolu-
ton out for a test, Mrs. Stafford
was assisted by Mrs. Margaret
Gayle of Atlanta, Ca, and by
Mrs. John Thompson of Norman,
Okla. Georgia, like Tennessee, is
a poll tax state.
Projection of the resolution on
to the convention floor provoked
heated discussion and so much
support that its foes in the pro-
gram committee did not even
speak against it. When the vote
was taken women were lined up
six deep at the microphones to
speak for the resolution and
against the poll tax.
The resolution was adopted
without record vote against it

The REPUBLICAN PARTY and
YOUTH In 1910
BY Glenn Frank

complete confidence and with a
sense of utter sincerity, for two
reasons: first, because l believe
in you and your youth, and, second,
because I believe in the Republi-
can Party and the leadership / am
convinced it can bring to the tan
gled affairs of your time.
Since well before the 1892 cam
paign, the leadership of the opposi-
ton party has carried on an ella
borate, amply finced, and well sus-
tanned attempt to smear the Re-
publican Party as a party of re-
action, blind to the problems and
perplexities of the millions. The
fact that you are here tonight
makes clear that you, at any rate,
have not been taken in by this
smearing. You are right in refus-
ing to be taken in. With Repub-
lican leadership, as with Demo-
cratic leadership, as with all hu-
man leadership, foresight may not
always have been as good as hind
sight, but the blunt fact is that
most of the political, social, and
economic progress America has
made in the last half century has
been made under Republican lea
dership. And I venture the predic-
ton that, when the history of this
period is written, it will be seen
that the foundation for such social
advances as solidly survive the
New Deal were laid in Republican
administrations preceding it, par
ticularly in the administration i'm
mediately preceding it.
But I have more immediate
reason for believing in the Repub-
lican Party here and now in 1910,
for believing that the Republican
Party of 1910 will merit the ALE
glance of every young American
who is hungry for normal ca
reer The immediate reason for
this belief in the Republican Par
ty is what the rank and file of
Republicans are thinking and feel
ing today is more important than
what any individual Republican
leader, old or new, is thinking. I
think know what is today moving
in the minds and hearts of the
mine-run Republicans from coast
to coast. I think know because
I am one of them. And then, for
the last two years, have been at
an unusual post. AS chairman of
the Republican Program Commit
tee which has carried out the most
comprehensive sounding of party
beliefs and determinations in the
history of American politics, I have
had the chance to eavesdrop the
minds and hearts of multiplied
thousands of rank and file republi-
cans throughout the nations. I'm
less my hearing has been very bad,
I know what these rank and file
Republicans are saying among
themselves. Others may be able to
tell you better than I what this
or that leader in this or that state
is planning to do at Philadelphia
next June, but I think I can tell
you, with some degree of assur-
ance what the overwhelming ma
jority of Republicans are thinking.
And think it is important that,
as young voters, you know this.
