A PROCLAMATION!

On November II. 1918, the last shot was fired on the plains of France, to end the first World War
 Now, 25 years later, our soldiers and the sol dierS of Allies again pressing forward to victory over the forces of tyranny and oppres- sion and slavery.
 It is fitting that we in Alaska should soemnly observe this anniversary in memory of those who served for us and died for us in the first great war, and in honor of those who even now are fighting and dying that our American institutions may live.
 Now, therefore, I. E. L. Bartlett, acting Gov ernor of the Territory of Alaska do proclaim Thursday November II, 1943 as Arnistice Day.
 Let us hope and pray that when another year shall have passed, victory which inevitably, shall be ours, will be complete.
 Now must press forward with as little in- terruption as possible to the essential tasks of wartime but we can properly dedicate the day one of homage and as one of reaffirmaton to those ideals which have made our nation great and strong.
 s,. -.E. L. BARTLETT, Acting Governor

 Absence of any. political activ- ities or discussions of any kind even during the recent visit of Delegate Dimond had caused democratic leaders throughout Alaska to wonder if, and when party machinery would be set in motion by the Central Com mittee. MT Lyng's announcement which also authorized the call for Divisional conventions through out the Territory solved the pug gle.
 Since the death of Harry Phil lips, longtime Divisional chair man, here some time ago the To- cal committee has been without directing head That body is composed of l3 members. A few of them are out of the Territory but majority are available for immediate action, Mrs. Rogge said.
 Upon receipt of MT. Lyng's call Mrs. Rogge has been in com munication with them. A meet ing, at which all of them were expected to be either in attend ance or represented by proxy. was held last night at the Rogge home.
 At that time it was planned to elect a temporary chairman and to fix the date for precinct eau cuses and also for the Divisional convention. This it was expected would be held here during the early part of December.
 Next year will be one of the most significant in Alaska's his tory to date" Mrs. Rogge said ,"It is the hope of the Committee to interest all party members in the precinct caucuses, the two forthcoming conventions and in the primary and general elections to be held next year.''- .''-Jessen's s Weekly.
