HUGHES’ SPEECH
A GREAT EFFORT
SAYS BOURNE
'WASHINGTON, August 15.—The
Republican Publicity association,
through its president, Hon. Jonathan
Rourne, Jr., today gave out the fol
lowing statement at its Washington
headquarters:
“The chief value of the Hughes
speech of acceptance lies not so much
in the information it contains as in
the picture and impression it gives
the American people of the man be
hind the speech. In the coming elec
tion, as never before, we shall vote
for men—not words. In the three
years just past we have learned the
futility of voting for empty promises.
We have had a demonstration of the
uselessness of catchy phrases backed
only by a weak and vacillating per
sonality. The American voter todav
is reading between the lines to find
the quality of the man, and when he
read the Hughes speech, he was im
pressed with the sincerity, th? digni
ty and the stability of the speaker.
“It was a straightforward state
ment of facts and discussion of issues
without any of that impulsive extrav
agance of utterance which has so of
ten led Mr. Wilson into humiliating
retractions and reversals. There was
no ‘play to the galleries.’ It was the
thought, the feeling and the language
of the statesman, rather than the
mere politician. It was gratifying and
encouraging, therefore those millions
of Americans who have become tired
of speeches made merely to catch
votes and who earnestly desire as the
head of this nation a man who will
represent sound economic policies at
home and who will maintain the
rights and prestige of the United
States and its citizens in every land
and on every sea.”
Root Writes
of a Missed
Opportunity
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—Not
a little comment has been raised by
the recent publication in Buenos Aires
newspapers of a letter received by Dr.
Maria Drago, the eminent Argentine
international jurist, from Elihu Root.
The letter, published by the courtesy
of Dr. Drago, is in part as follows:
“I am very glad you liked my
speech at the recent republican con
mention. It was something of a sur
prise to me that it should be published
in Buenos Aires, a thing which would
hardly have happened ten years ago,
1 suppose. 1 am taking the liberty of
sending you, together with a printed
copy of the speech, copies of two re
cent addresses delivered befo>e the
American Society of International
Law, which are rather less controver
sial, but are leally in the same field.
I feel very strongly that the only way
to prevent the continual recurrence of
war, with all its evils, is to insist up
on observance of toe rules of •oaduet
which we call international law, and
to impose as a penalty for che viola
tion of them, the general condemna
tion of mankind with such consequen
ces at naturally follow that to..den -
nation. I feel also very much di-st'os
sed that the government of my own
country has completely missed its
great opportunity to render a service
to civilization in leading the neutral
world in condemnation of the flagrant
violations of the law of nations which
has accompanied the present war.
“I hope, however, that the lesson
which the world is now receiving will
not be lost and that we shall begin
again after the war is over upon a
more sound and practical basi£.”

VALENTINE MAY
HANDLE CAMPAIGN
OE WICKERSHAM
JUNEAU, August 30.—Emery Val
entine, sage of municipal politics in
Juneau and known all over Alaska for
his Bull Moose political activities, has
been asked to manage the campaign
of Wickersham as an independent can
didate for delegate to congress. Mr.
Valentine has the matter under con
sideration.
Speaking to the Dispatch today, re
garding the November election, Mr.
Valentine predicts a heavy majority
for the republican legislative ticket. ,
Hon. J. R. Heckman to be the best
possible timber for the senate, and
has promised his support to his can
didacy. Regarding the delegate elec
tion, he says he has lost time, energy, j
money and friends by his political ac
tivity in the past, and he is not anxi
ous to again get into the political
game.
Close friends of Mr. Valentine pre
dict he will be in the delegate fight
and that in proper time he will again
be devoting his energies toward the
re-election of Wickersham.
Numbering of
Houses Is Urged
Upon Residents
The matter of numbering the busi
ness houses and residences of Anchor
age is still slumbering but an effort
will be made to bring it back to life.
An active campaign will be started,
with the sanction of the city adminis
tration, and an earnest endeavor made
to impress upon the citizens the ad
visability and necessity of numbering
their houses.
Just why this matter has not re
ceived the proper encouragement is
not known unless it is that there has
been no one authorized to push the
issue.
In all other cities a civic measure.
of a similar nature meets with the ap
proval of the citizens who get behind 1
the measure and work to a common
end with the ultimate idea of meeting
with the suggestion and making a
success of the issue. This should be
the case in the present important
matter of numbering the houses of
Anchorage.
It is not compulsory, nor is there
any penalty attached to any one not
concurring with the suggestion. How
ever, there is always the conscientious
feeling of personal pride which may
1 enter into this issue and with the
right kind of a start the citizens of
Anchorage will follow the lead.
To this end an active canvass will
be made of the property owners and
an energetic and ambitious young
man has received the necessary in
structions from Mayor J. G. Watts to
intelligently explain this rather com
plicated system to the people with
the ultimate idea of having the proper
number placed on every business
house and residence in this city be
fore the winter sets in.
