UNREPRESENTATIVE CONVEN
TIONS

Nothing couUI demonstrate the farci
cally unrepresentative nature of the
party conventions that were recently
held at Juneau, more than the publish
ed proceedings of those conventions as
they ajpeared in the Juneau papers.
For instance, at the so-called democrat
ic convention, of the 180 delegates ap
portioned to the various sections of
Alaska, but .'!0 were voted. There was
not one delegate from either the second
or third judicial divisions. Of the
towns in the first division, Skagway.
Haines, Ketchikan, Sitka and others
half all told? were not represented.
The Juneau Transcript's account of the
committee appointments indicates how
unrepresentative the convention really
was. Here is the account:
"The chairman at once appointed as
a committee on credentials: J. A. Stern
berg er, of Juneau: K. M. Barnes, of
Juneau: C. M. Summers, of Juneau: W.
W. Casey, of Juneau, and Frank Bach,
of Douglas. As a committee on resolu
tions, J. A. Hellenthal, of Juneau: L.
L. Williams, of Juneau: H. Shattuck. of
Juneau: J. H. Cobb, of Juneau, and H.
W. Mellen, of Coopermount. As a com
mittee on permanent organization:
George Rice, of Juneau: Louis Lund, of
Juneau, and Don S. Kae, of Juneau.
As a committee on actual expenses: E.
M. Barnes, of Juneau.''
Of 14 committee appointments all
but two were from Juneau, and on'y
three of the precincts of the division
were represented. This condition was
brought about by the fact that Alaska
democrats everywhere recognize the
present a' no time for party politics.
The republican convention was little
better. There were not 40 persons
present at it, and those who were there
had been elected by poorly attended
caucuses - usually by fewer persons
than there were delegates to be chosen.
There were but two per?ons from the
second, and not one from the third ju
dicial division present.
Neither conventions is binding.
CALE THE REPRESENTATIVE
CANDIDATE
Kven should the voters of Alaska re
cognize the claims of party upon them
when they go to the polls to cast their
votes there is none but that must admit
that Thomas Cale has as great a claim
for support as a party man as has either
of the J uneau-made candidates for the
long term.
Compare Mr. Cale's claim, for in
stance, on republicans with that of Mr.
Murane, of Nome. The latter was
Dominated by the Juneau convention
because tfce man whom the republicans
of Southeastern Alaska to the number
of about 200 thought they were voting
at the primaries went back on them at
the last minute, and because he was the
choice of a majority of about 200 repub
licans ;who voted at a Nome primary
wherein a minority of the republicans
of that town participated. On the other
hand Mr. Cale was nominated at a rep
resentation convention at Fairbanks
wherein were many republicans and he
was afterward endorsed by the repub
lican organization of tne third division.
The democratic situation is even more
favorable to Mr. Cale. He has the en
dorsement of the democrats of the
second and third judicial divisions
officially given. On the other hand
judge Mellen was nominated at a con
vention wherein only half ol the pre
cincts of Southeastern Alaska were rep
resented, and those representatives, :J0
in number, represented primaries so
scantily attended that there were prob
ably less than 50 votes cast at them.
The people of Alaska will pay little
attention to the hocus pocus signs that
are being made to induce them to feel
that there is any mysterious power
that can cause the action of a majority
?-?' ? a
In the beginning the -"tally Alaskan
said that the movement for party con
ventions was (or the purpose of serving
Juneau ends, and not for the purpose
of defending party principles. How
true that was may be determined from
the fact that Juneau republicans are
lining up for Judge Mellen. the so
called democratic nominee for the long
term, and, it is said, the Juueau dem
ocrats are knifing Gov. Swineford and
preparing to support Judge Murane
the so-called republican nominee for
the short term.
I There are more republican signa
ture to the petition askiug Gov. Swine
ford to become a non-partisan candidate
for delegate to congress than there were
men at the primaries which selected
Murane delegates to the ! republican
convention.
