Jackson Club In Juneau.
The meeting was opened by
Henry Roden. Territorial Finance
Commissioner, and he appointed
Mike Haas chairman of the meet
ing.
Haas, who was a former Terri
torial Labor Commissioner, took the
floor and told of the need for a
Jefferson-Jackson Club pointing
out that not much had been done
in the First Division by the Dem
ocratic party and the evidence was
ilain such an organization was
needed to re-activate the party. He
cited the defeat of Helen Oahagan
Douglas in California, where Haas
has lived for more than three
years part, as an- example of what
can happen if the Democrats are
not properly organized. He said it
was not his desire to make the
_lub a “closed corporation,” but to
welcome all members of the Demo
cratic party.
Others who spoke in favor of or
ganizing the club were Peter Wood,
3us Aimquist, Roden, Abel Ander
son, Cledamae Cammock, Mrs. Roy

no time should be lost in forming
the club to be ready in the next
campaign to combat unfavorable
and untruthful propaganda leveled
at the Democratic party by the op
position. Aimquist, who is treasurer
of the Third precinct committee,
put forward the suggestion that
'iai tne club should be organ
iped through the precinct heads.
„„ was out voted when, in her talk
Mrs. Cammock made the motion to
organize the club last night, which
was seconded by Abel Anderson
and, after further discussion, was
passeu.
