REPUBLICAN PLATFORM IN ALASKA

things which guarantee the free dom of our people. We particular ly denounce the present policy of the Democratic Administration in seeking, through the Secretary of the Interior, to establish a one man dictatorial government for the Territory, substituting reg ulations for law. The present state of development of the Territory has been brought about by the efforts of the people who have settled here of their own free will and accord, expended their cap ital, and directed their energies toward such development, and by the peoples participation in the limited form of Government which the Organic Act has per mitted. The policy of the present administration in substitution reg ulations for law and subjecting the people to the dictatorial dom ination of one man in Washington will quickly mean ruination of all industries in the Territory and will result in suppression of init iative and eventual bankruptcy of the Alaskan people.

I've advocate the return of our people to the principles of Government established by the Constitution of the United States of America and by the Republican Party in it's time-honored history in the conduct of National affairs.
 2-AMENDMENT OF OR GANIC ACT. We recommend that the Organic Act of the Terri tory be amended so as to provide for the election of the Governor and of the Secretary of the Terri tory of Alaska by the people, and also to give to the people of the Territory full control of all it's natural resources and the collec- tion of all revenues therefrom, in- cluding the revenues from the Fur Seal Islands.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compep' !
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16

This is not an important day in planetary direction. The stars in- dicate continuation of existing con- flicts in all parts of the world.
 Heart and Home: The stars pres age discipline to persons of every class as the precious treasures of many countries are destroyed or hidden. In the new order of af- fairs women will gain great influ- ence, because of their intuition and spiritual vision. Social barriers which have long been crumbling will disappear as new standards are established in many lands. The stars today encourage development and unfoldment.
 Business Affairs: Prosperity will be widespread, but prices of many articles of merchandise will rise, notably rubber, leather, and wool ems. The effects of the European war will be evident in the lack, of many imports long familiar to pur- chasers in the United States Per- sons with foresight will buy now what is needed in the coming year. Delay will mean higher prices, the stars presage. Merchants are upr der promising aspects, but money may be tight"
 National Issues: Unity of thought and purpose will rapidly develop among loyal citizens of the United States. Labor will cooperate with capital in producing record quan- titles of airplanes, munitions and tanks. Inventors will contribute amazing gadgets that aid defense weapons. Secrets regarding certain discoveries in the potency of cleo tric or other rays will be- well guarded.
 International Affairs: Banking relations will engage attention of international financiers. Economic problems will rapidly multiply and will encourage revolutionary ten- dencies in the countries taken by Hitler and subject to the Reich. Sabotage will be the cause of a disaster on the Pacific Coast where shipping should be watched with great care. Hidden diplomacy will be necessary in Washington.
 Persons whose birthdate it is should have year of exceptional good fortune. Employees will be promoted.
 Children born on this day will be shrewd and ingenious. Many may have mercurial natures and unusual talents.

The Womens Voluntary Services Committee wish to thank all those who have contributed so generously to the collection of warm clothing for the refugees of England. People who have been very thoughtful in contributing not only clothing but also money will be interested to know that the money will be used for transportation and perhaps also for wool or material for children's garments.
 We wish to thank the women in both Juneau and Douglas who have given their time to the work of sort ing the clothes and also those who have volunteered to sew and put the garments in order. Particularly do we thank the Triangle Cleaners and the Alaska Laundry for offering to clean and press the clothes; the banks and moving picture houses for temporarily storing them; the public schools and Boy Scouts for collecting; the newspapers and radio broadcasting station for giving out the notices; the Estebeth and Alaska Transport system for offering to bring in the things from outlying districts; and Mrs. A. D. Wallace for her moving presentation, before the groups and clubs of Juneau, of the plight of England in distress.

Yesterday your Empire editorial writer demon- strated he could take it. He is more accustomed to dishing it out. His job is to comment on what goes on about him in Juneau in Alaska, in the na- tion and in the world to view with alarm to point with pride, to sound warnings, occasionally to take sharp issue with what he considers wrong dan gerous But above all his job is to reflect accurately the best thought of his community for the best interests of his community
 Yesterday he had to take it. At the Juneau Chamber of Commerce meeting he sat and heard men whose ability he admires, whose opinions he values, whose friendship he chershes and whose claim to a hearing by the people of Juneau is much greater than his own he heard these men criticize him as severely any could ever be criti- cized in polite language.
 He knows these men would not so criticize him unless they felt they very right in this matter and he was very wrong. He hopes they will be charitable enough to grant that he would not have taken the line he did unless he felt the opposite.
 The criticism was not wasted on him. He ad- mts that much of what these said he had coming to iim1sFe admits that he will profit from the thorough dressing down he received With much else of what they said his conscience will not allow him to agree, else he would have crossed swords with them and their way of thinking in the first place
 Today this editorial writer is going to show he can take it again.
 A newspaper likes to feel it is able to stand its own feet and trade blows with the whole world fl 1t finds itself in disagreement with the world Il likes to feel il absolutely independent, if need be of the opinions of it's readers Unfortunately it is not at least not in a community of the size and temperament of Juneau. newspaper is not

SENATOR'S FEMALES

Now that it's all over, the story can be told of the rift in the Wheeler household over the elec- tion.
 Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana is a Democrat, but he nas made more trouble for Roose- velt than most Republicans. A good part of that trouble has been in- spired by the Senator's wife, whose ill-will for the President is famous in the Capital And Roosevelt, in his own way, reciprocates the ill., will, clubbing Mrs. Wheeler Lady Macbeth"
 The big scene in the drama came one night when Senator and Mrs. Wheeler were listening to the news broadcast of Fulton Lewis Jr. The Wheelers happen to be intimate with the Clarks (Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri, who rival them in their dislike of the President and his, foreign policy.
 Therefore, Mrs. Wheeler was amazed when she heard from the radio that Senator Clark intended to come out for Roosevelt. With fire in her eyes, she turned upon her husband.
 T don't believe it." she cried. I'm going to call Miriam (Mrs. Clark and get her to deny it. And if you ever do such thing, Bur ton, I'll walk out of the house and leave your
 By this time the radio voice was saying, And now have an even greater surprise" Here Fulton Lewis paused for suspense. Still another isolationist Senator he said, lis coming out for Roosevelt, namely, Burton K Wheeler of Montana"
 What happened in the Wheeler household at that point is not re- corded, but some days later it was observed that Wheelers "indorse- ment" of Roosevelt was very mild nothing stronger than: From the information available, I understand that the Democratic ticket will be successful"
 The Capital had once again seen the truth of the Kipling refrain, The female of the species is more deadly than the male"

WHAT HAPPENED AT DAKAR

French military circles have now brought back the inside story of the British fiasco at Dakar when General de Gaulle tried to land but had to turn back.
 The British had secured secret assurances from the French fleet that the three cruisers which they let through the Straits of Gibral- tar into the Atlantic would CO., operate with the British when the British were ready to take over the important naval base at Da- kar
 However, the French Navy is tra- ditionally anti-British, inclined to be pro-fascist. The French Army on the other hand, is vigorously pro- British. And the French Navy double-crossed them.
 So when General de Gaulle ap- peared with British warshipS just off the Dakar naval base, the French officers, instead of \ giving up to their advance pledge, sopened fire. Simultaneously, French colon- ial troops came rushing down to the beach, virtually holding out their hands to the British to send landing parties ashore.
 The British did not know the attitude of the French Army. All they knew was that the anti Brit ish French naval officers had opened fire. The British had nc way of knowing that their land- ing parties might not be fired or also. So de Gaulle and his ill- fated mission sailed for home.
 NOTE-Admira Robert, French commander of naval forces at Mar. unique, IS absolutely opposed tt any surrender to the United States He is sitting tight and contends that it will take a keg of dynamite to blast him from his position il the French West IiaQies-
