Democrat Week

It hasn't been declared as far as we know, but next week is Demo- crat week in Wrangell and the Territory. In fact, it was being ob- served in Fairbanks and the Inter- for this week with the visit of Paul M. Butler, chairman of the Demo- cratic National Committee. He winged into the Golden Heart of the North Monday from Chicago accompanied by Delegate E. l.. Bartlett and will call in various communities of Alaska. He Is scheduled to be here next Thurs day.
 Revealing that he was doing his job for the Democrats, the Chair man in Fairbanks interview said:
 ''The policies of the present ad- ministration are not designed to promote Alaska's welfare. Does il seem likely that an administration which sought to negotiate the Dix on-Yates agreement and which has been endeavoring to curtail public power development throughout the nation is going to develop Alaska s waterpower resources?"
 Good question, Mir. Chairman Maybe some Republican will try and answer it.
