AGAINST IT
. Tanana Papers Oppose
Party Politics
The Tanana Teller, commenting
upon the call for party conventions to
nominate candidates (or delegates to
congress, says.
"In no part of this precinct has a
genuine desire been expressed, by a
reasonable number of people, to intro
duce party politics into toe afTair and
to draw the party lines. The delegate
elected will have no voice in the coun
cils of the nation, and will consequently
have no vote. Were he to be elected on
principles, whether republican or dem
ocratic, independent, or upon any other
basis, no good could come of it, and It
would bt better for Alaska and her
people had congress refused her any
kind of representation. We are hav
ing trouble enough without adding
those engendered by party lines. A
delegate elected on party principles
would be tied hand and foot, and such
a man could not possibly serve the en
tire territory satisfactorily. Cut poli
tics out, especially at a time when the
line of demarcation between the two
great national parties is becoming in
distinct.and wen there is a president in
oiBch who has oeen elected by an over
whelming majority recruited from
democratic rtonks, and who still are
and call themselves democrats.
"We don't give a continental whether
our d-legate is a democrat or repub
lican, or anything, if he is a man. The
time when people with brains worship
a hollow-soundint; name is fast coming
to an end."
V4LDFZ PAPER
SIZES IP JUNEAU
(Valdez News)
In Southeastern Alaska there is al
ready a split of the forces. There
seems to be a strong desire on the part
of the people of Juneau to conduct the
election on strictly party lines. The
argument is that both political parties
will incorporate in their platform all
the main issues which confronts the
people of Al- ska and that with party
organization the campaign and election
would be greatly simplified. Doubtless
the real ooject Juneau has in view is to i
secure the election of one of her own j
candidates regardless of issues or the [
wishes of other parts of Alaska. She
is the headquarters of the party organ- 1
izations in Alaska and doubtless feels
that by again bringing into use her|
shady political tricks during the con
vention she can land one of her own !
men for the nomination. But otb> r !
towns in Alaska are opposed to party I
lines being drawn and are looking for '
a Candida* e who will stand on a plat- j
I >rm of Alaska for Alaskans or in other
words, one who will s orifice party feel- f
ing and prejudices for the real issues i
before the people of Alaska.
