Democratic Services

While MT Troy took an active interest in political affairs dur ing his early residence in Alaska. from 1897 until 1907, the absence of organized government in the Territory made the field limited for that work.

 He pioneered in the organiza- ton of municipal corporations in 1900 as editor of the Skagway Daily Alaskan and that year, following the approval of the Alaska Code by the President. he began a campaign for the in- corporation of Skagway and led the movement 10 a successful cul imitation.

Faithful To Trust

During his six years in office he was faithful to the trust that had been placed in him as Terri toria executive and assumed the additional duties of the various New Deal agencies that came into being from 1883 on.
 In spite of the increasing load placed on his office, his door was always open to everyone, friend or enemy, in whatever walk of life. He found time always to give to problems or complaints of any callers, whether official or personal, his understanding att tention.
 In the execution of the duties ot his office, he sought and well comes advice of his fellow Terri torial officials, the legislators who served during his administration and citizens throughout the Terri tory.
 Failing health and the gradual recurrence of an illness which had him bedridden for many months when he was in his early thlrties, lessened his strength and the attention he was able to give to his office. He resigned as

Wake Up America

This editorial originally called Wake Up America It's Late! and written by editor Edward T. Leech of the Pittsburgh Press, first appeared in the ScrppS- Howard newspapers of March 5 1922, and quickly be- came the most-dscussed newspaper editorial of the year Widely reprinted its circulation soon ran into the millions Mr. Leechs ncsiVe prose carries mes sage for every American.
 The nation needs to awaken to the full gravity ot the peril that confronts it. It needs to appreciate how badly we have been defeated far It needs to under stand that the United Nations can lose this and suffer the fate of France-and that this possibility may become probability if the present tide does not change It needs to get away, and for all, from the comforting feeling that while we may lose at the start we are bound to win in the end
 Production Director Donald Nelson appeals for vast y increased industrial production, 24-hour seven day basis. Maximum production, in short Can we get it?
 Not on the present bass-not under the psychology of recent years
 Not until we quit thinking in terms of less work for money.
 Not while there is greater concern about overtime pay than overtime production.
 Not while farmer politicians more interested m higher prices than raising more essentials.
 Not while government bureauS-created to meet depression emergency that is ended - continue to grab for themselves money needed for ornaments
 Not while an army of federal press agents clamors to promote and perpeuate activities that have no pre- sent need value.
 Not while Congressmen clamor for factories and 
 Not while strikes hamper production despite a solemn promise that they would stop
 Not while the life-and-death need for uninterrupted production is used as weapon to put the closed shop.
 Not while man can't be employed on army pro- iect or in plant until he pays off to labor rack eteer.
 Not while the grim job of preparing our home com- munites against air raids and sabotage is gummed up with boondoggling.
 We will not get maximum production, in short, less first we fully realize awful peril and second get the gimmes of recent years.
 Gimme shorter hours, gimme higher wages, gimme bigger profits gimme overtime, gimme less work, gimme more pensions, gimme greater crop benefits, gimme more appropriations & patronage gimme plants for my Congressional district gimme fees and dues to work for Uncle Sam, gimme $30 every Thursday.
 France had the gimmes, too-had them till the Ger mans were close Paris Then everybody went fran tically to work, too late.

However, if il is the sentiment of the organization and as Delegate Dlmond has said, the rank and file of AlaskanS both Democrats and those of other parties, that I can serve the Territory as Gov ernor and the appointment shall be rendered me, l shall not re- fuse it."

 He served on the Divisional Democratic Committee for nearly 20 years, expending thousands of dollars of personal funds in performing his duties and attend ing local, Territorial and Nation al conventions of inc party, serv ing on the Resolutions Commit tee. He invariably supported fin ancially and editorially, the na- tional. Territorial and Divisional candidates of the party.
 Original Roosevelt Man
 He was one of the original Roosevelt men in Alaska.
 The victory of the Roosevelt slate in the Democratic conven- ton was due in large measure to the uncompromisine fight made for it under the Empire, the then lone Democratic newspaper in Alaska and the only one to take an active part and positive stand in the primary campaign.
 In 1892 as a member of the Resolutions committee at the Chi cago convention he aided in pre- pairing the famous plank pledg- ing the party to Prohibition re peal, and was one of the original group to launch that plank.
