OLD-FASHIONED
DEMOCRATIC RALLY
Love thy neighbor as thyself; be
charitable unto that neighbor and
overlook his weaknesses, his short
comings and his hallucinations. At
times he may stray from the fold; he
may accept different creeds; he may
dream of a change in the administra
tion and he may even become hypno
tized and labor under the snare
and the delusion that there is a
chance to beat James Wickersham for
delegate to congress.
At such a time it is only fair and
just to be charitable, to be broad and
generous and offer sympathy and ex
press condolence.
The Daily Times feels secure and
knows whereof it speaks when mak
ing the assertion that James Wicker
sham will be re-elected but in order
to alleviate the sufferings of the new
democratic correspondent of this pa
per and his cohorts and realizing that
it can in no manner of means hurt
the standing of the Honorable James
nor in any way detract from the po
litical attitude of this papet the
correspondent is allowed space in to
day’s paper and in a witty manner
and a well written article he calls at
tention of the reading public to an
old-time democratic rally. The hu
mor of the writer is proverbial and
will eventually save him from fur
ther political errors.
Tne article follows;
“Do you folks remember the old
time political rally?
“It was usually, held in the school
house or in someone’s new bam and
all of the prominent men, and near
prominent men, of the county-, and
once in a while some big bug from
up-state was there and told you all
about the glories of their particular
brand of politics and the infamies and
short-comings of their opponents
Well, that is the kind y-ou can look
for when the democrats of Anchorage
get together in a day- or two, or rath
er a night or two.
“The writer dropped in for a minute
or two Saturday night at the meeting
where the lion and the lamp he down j
together.
“The chairman said that it was a
non-partisan affair, but when they
passed the hat at the tail end of the
performance, the get-the-money spir
it easily identified it as the G. O. P. j
“James Wickersham has been ask
ed to do a good many hard things j
since he went to congress, but the
bunch last night imposed on him the
hardest task so far—popularizing the
republican party in Alaska. The
democrats of Anchorage are willing
to concede to the judge his undeniable
ability, but we’ll submit to all the
old-timers that the time spent by him
in congress before the democrats got
into power might just as well have
been spent in Ottawa or London. We
admit that the Honorable James
made a wonderful speech in favor of
the railroad bill, but we contend that
the little old plank in the democratic
platform of 1912 helped some, and al
though it was a non-partisan meeting
last night, God save the mark, not a
word of thanks was given Chamber
lain, Wilson or Fitzgerald. Never1
mind, we’ll tell you all about that
when we give our little entertainment j
and its date will be announced here
very shortly through the columns of |
The Daily Times.”
