SKAGWAY TALK
The forty-two men and women
who listened to Robert W. Jennings
last night at Elks hall were great
| ly interested in the few remarks he
j made bearing on the political is
I sues, or Alaska's needs which he
! made, and often times showed their
j appreciation of the stories he told
; which occupied the major portion of
: the speakers time.
Mr. Jenninf-s made reference to
?the various home rule bills which
had been introduced into congress,
.md took the credit of their recep
tion before that body, If they were
meritorious, to the democratic mem
; !>ers, or If they lacked merit, their
defeat was laid at the door of the
same party.
Jefferson's and Hamilton's policy
was dwelt upon at great length by
? he l>emoeratl,e nominee for dele
gate from Alaska, and just what his
object was In taking up the time
of his audience, could not be ascer
tained, unlejis he was speaking
against, time.
He denied that any credit was
due to James Wickersham for block
ing the appointive legislative council
measure introduced by Senator
Devcredge and referred to Wicker
sham's fight In the halls of con
gress as purely personal, and not
affecting the wants of Alaska.
As a last and crowning tribute to
the Democratic party, upon whose
platform he fitood, he claimed that
the present status of H R. No. 38,
(the present Home Rule for Alaska
Hill) Is due M>lely to the Demo
cratic House, and then, working him
self up to pitch of perfect fremy,
stated that It was now up to
Democrat to itet that bill through I
the REPUBLICAN senate of the |
Cnited States
He placed a wand In his hand,
.md likening himself to the Fairy
God Mother, who touched little
Cinderella's rags and turned her
Into a Fairy Princess, if elected,
said Mr. Jennings, he would
emulate the Fairy God Mother, and
do this everlasting act of leger
demane for the people of Alaska
The following extract taken from I
the Congressional Record shows |
that Mr. Jennings made a deliber
ate mis-statement when he said that
James Wickersham was not given
credit for the Home Rule for Alas
ka B'll, now pending before the
senate of the United States:
"Mr. Speaker, 1 ask unanimous
consent that House bill 38, with
amendments, be substituted for
House bill 139S7. and I do it for
this reason, Mr. Speaker: It was
the intention of the Committee to
have House bill 38. with amend
ments, reported. 1, as chairman of
the Committee on the Territories,
undertook to make that report, but
the bill was printed as 11. R 1 3 9 S 1
and it had ray name on it as the
patron of the bill. As a matter of
fact, the delegate from Alaska (Mr.
Wickersham) is the patron of the
bill. And 1 want to say here that
Alaska has been very fortunate in
the last two Congresses in having
a representative of such high
character and splendid ability as
Judge Wickersham. (Applause )

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVEN
TION OPENS IN BALTIMORE
BRYAN URGES HIRMONY ABOVE ALL THINGS BUT OFIANOS RECOGNITION OF
PROGRESSIVES
Baltimore, Md , June 25 ? For
the first time in forty years a Na
tional Convention of one of th?
loading parties of the I'nited State*
opened In this city, when the
Democratic National Convention was
called to order today at 12: IS o'
clock.
Owing to the heavy downpour of
rain there were very few spectators
present.
Immediately opon calling the con
vention to order. Cardinal Gibbons
offered a benediction.
William Jennings Bryan carried
the fight into the convention, and
it now looks as though it will be
another fight similar to the Chicago
mixup.
Alton Parker was placed in nom
ination for the chairmanship, and
immediately William Jennings Bry
an, amid tumultuous applause plac
ed the name of Senator Kern of In
diana in nomination. Mr. Bryan
spoke for forty minutes, and during
his remarks stated that, he was for
harmony, and that it was necessary {
for the Democrats to have harmony ,
In order to be success fill. During
the entire time Mr. Bryan was.
speaking the people cheered so that '
he was repeatedly forced to stop un
til order could be restored
Senator Kern followed Bryan's!
speech for harmony, and pleaded i
with the Parker supporters for
unity, and asked them to select som '
candidate from anion* the progres
sives, telling them that they mnit
look to the old leader Bryan for ad
vice
The Ohio delegation under con
iest ha* been decided in favor of
j Harmon, and he will go Into the
convention with the solid Ohio rep
resentation.
The Alaska delegation headed
by Daly ha* been seated by the Na
tional committee.
Ollfe James is backing Bryan in
his fight against Alton Parker, and
Is using every effort to seat a pro
gresslre for the temporary chair
man.
Ft Is believed that the defeated
presidential nominee will be named
as the *lce presidential nominee
t'pon the conclusion of Messrs
Bryan's aid Kern's speeches, the
greatest disorder prevailed, and it
was necessary to call the police In
order to preserve order In the ais
les The speakers were repeatedly
Interrupted, and when order was
finally restored a roll call was tak
nn resulting in Alton Parker being
elected by live hundred and seven
ty nine votes in his favor, while
Kern received three hundred and
four.
Many of the delegate* voted for
Bryan for chairman
The Alaska Democratic delegation
Is split, four being for Bryan while
two voted for Parker.

that a battleship he Immediately dis-J
patched to that cltv to protect the,
lives of Americans now residing j
there.
He has done an immense amount of
work on this bill and is the patron ?
of It. It was not the Intention of j
the Committee on Territories or my
intention to deprive him of the
credit of being the patron of the j
bill, and so we have subsequently
reported the bill H. R 38 with
amendments I ask that that be J
