ANCHORAGE. ALASKA. FRIDAY. JUNE 9, 1916.
POLITICAL SITUATION AT CHICAGO.
Two national parties are now assembled at ( hieago to name
a presidential ticket, and it may be that ere this editorial ap- j
pear- n print that the Republican and Progressive standard
hearer- will be chosen. The jostling crowd- on Michigan
bonlevsri, the blare of band.-, wriggling line- of densely
oaeked humanity in hotel lobbie-. Is1 ribboned and bebadged
visitors, and the buzz, buzz or talk -to say nothing of the
manv private conferences held by the leaders of both parties,
in the hope of adjusting their factional differences and all Re
publicans uniting on one presidential nominee, have been the
ffatures of the past three day- among the politicians now in
tiie Windy City.
Four year- ago the steam roller stalked it- Gargantuan way
through Chicago’.- street-, down and through the Coliseum
and back into the roundhouse of political history. If the
steam roller hadn't performed, there would have been only
ore national Republican convention this week. But those who
were squashed by the pancake-making wheels of the jugger
naut arose, brushed off their dusted garments and assuaged
their mangled bodies with the balm of a convention, candidates
and machinery of their very own.
Whether or not the bruise- the steam-roller of four year
ago inflicted might be entirely healed was a mooted question,
and for a time there was even' indication that the Republican
anil the Progressive would meet each other as a brother, not
as a poetical enemy. The acrimony which centered about the
smallest minutes of the convention of the la.-t big conventions
was gone. Maybe the leader- of the present gatherings still
maintained an air of aloofness mixed with a curiosity as to
what the other side was doing, but thece wasn’t nearly sq
much grim desperation in the chase of the Southern delegate,
the pursuit of the unpledged delegate or in the jockeying for
places on the permanent roll of the convention roster.
What will be the outcome no one v-an forecast. Some pre
dict that Hughes will be nominated by the Republicans and
Roosevelt by the Progressives, while others incline to the
opinion that if the Colonel goes to Chicago he will stampede
the regular- and be the only nominee 'it both parties.
When the Best People On Earth gather together in a -ocial
s<-sion there is something doing every minue, and last night’s
smoker wa~ no exception. ,
Tn his proclamation designating June 14 as Flag Day. Presi
dent Wii-on ask> that the people of the United States cele
brate the holiday with patriotic exercises, giving an expres
sion to “our thoughtful love for America.”
The Fairbank Commercial Club has issued a sixty-page
pamphlet, containing illustrations and interesting reading
matter descriptive of the resources of the Tanana valley. This
i- arood advertising, and the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
has in mind the publication of a similar book, in order that the
people of the states may know the truth about the terminus
of the government railroad and al-o the mining and agricul
tural country contiguous thereto.
It is understood that when the civil sundry bill comes up
In ilie Senate an effort will be made by Senators Chamberlain
and Jones to have the original appropriation of $8,247,000
.substituted for the $0,247,000 which the committee has favor
ably reported. This amount, with the $2,000,000 emergency
appropriation granted earlier in the year, would give the
Alaskan Engineering Commission sufficient funds to prosecute
the railroad construction throughout the winter to the best
advauta ge. j - •», , -
The young men of the Alaskan Engineering Commission
have a confidence in the permanency of the government’s
work in Alaska which some Alaskans seem to lack. Most of
the fellows who came north with the crew last year left their
hearts behind them and naturally they promised the girl that
“they would come back and get her” after they had found
out what sort of a place it was. Borne have already been back
and it is understood on the quiet that others are considering
the purchase of a round-trip home with an extra one-way fare
back to Alaska, which is as it should he. Man was not made
to live alone.—Seward Post.
