NONPARTISAN TICKET FOR SENATORS

Henry Roden. Idltarod Dan Sutherland. Ruhy.

J J Mullally, Fox E. IV Collins, Dome Dan Driscoll. Fairbanks. William Burns, Chatham

Ou Wednesday night, in the cit'

hall, there assembled three commit

tees, representing the Progressive Democratic and Republican parties. When they adjourned they had nom-

inated a ticket which they decided to call the "Non-Partisan Ticket." hut which ticket was not absolutely acceptable to the Progressive wing of the meeting which through the chairman of the Progressive commit tee it declined to accept as binding Mr. Robert Menzie was the ununi mous choice of those present for tie

position of chairman of the meeting Joe Dillow was likewise chosen as

secretary of the meeting. The jm< 1 i- tlcians then got down to the busi- ness of the evening. The hitch of the whole meeting was over the eleventh hour refusal of William Burns to run unless the name of Henry Roden, of the Idltarod. was

left on as senator. There was

two-hour discussion in which the representatives of the Wickersham faction and those of the Democratic faction fought hard for the elimina- tion and the retention of Henry Koden. Judge Krwin waxed elo quent as he appealed to the assem-

blage for harmony. He described the stand of the Democrats and of the Progressives. He said that if the name of Henry Roden was not

acceptable to the majority of the men present the Democrats had no

no business there. Judge Pratt pointed out to the members of the committee now tne nomination of

Henry Roden was not right. Roden Is an office-holder in the employ of the government, and according to

the Home Rule bill and the circular sent to the federal office-holders, he has no right to seek the nomin atlon aided and abetted therein by the power his position gives him. Mr. C. E. Davidson then arose and Bald that he had asked District At- torney Crossley if Mr. Roden had not the right to run, and that Mr. Crossley had informed him that as

long as Roden resigned if elected there was nothing that could pre- vent him from accepting the nomina- tion. Mr Dlllow pointed out how hlB chances for election would be lessened on that account. Again Judge Erwin arose and defended the United States district attorney. It went on in this way for two hours. When It was finally suggested that a vote be taken, the choice of th >

convention was 17 for and it against Henry Roden. He was therefore declared a candidate for sena-

SIDELIGHTS ON THE CONVENTION Judge Adams, who hore the brunt

of the Republican party at the con-

vention, suggested that Tom Mar-

quam be invited to attend and give his views on Henry Roden. He said that the local lawyer would not

otherwise attend. Judge Erwin then

jumped up, and spieled his first

spiel. Mr. Marquam was not invited.

The saloon men were strong for Roden. Kelly, Martin and Thomp- son thinking that the choice was

the "one best bet."

Joe Dlllow and C. E. Davidson

got peeved at each other. Davidson

got real excited and almost waxed

eloquent, but It was never beyond the “almost" stage. It couldn’t.

Dr. Whitney had to leave. He gave his proxy to Captain Kettleson.

Among those not present was

Blon A. Dodge, the rumored Inde-

pendent candidate for senator.

Fred Martin got his coat and hat

a couple of times and was going to

leave, but he was alone in hiB dar-

ing feat and sat down when he saw

how Important his presence might or might not be.

nominated K. It. Cuiiins as tin- 1;.

publican choice. Tom l.loyd second ed him. His i-li-i-1ioti was also unan-

imous. The name of K W (Iriffin was then introduced. 1 mt .Indue Hr win arose and said hi-fori the third

Mr. liillow and .Indue I’ratt remained seated, signifying thereby their unwillingness to accept tip- nomination of their candidate by the leader of tin opposing faction

Mr. Charles Thompson then arose

and placed in nomination the name

of K. W. (Iriffin. Mr. Waite sec-

onded tin- nomination of the Chena merchant. Then in rapid si-inp-nc

'the names of (). (laustad. s. It Weiss and .1 ,1 Mullallv were plae ed In-fore the convention. Various suggestions were made as to allow- ing the creeks to choose their own

candidate, lmt it was finally decided that a written vote should lie taken to see which of the four mentioned should he accord ed the honor of being the candidate on the tieke When the ballots were counted Mu! lally had 1.1, (Iriffin 7. (laustad -I. Weiss 1. A motion was then ntadt by Mr. Thompson to make Mr. Mill lally the unanimous choice of tin

I convention. 1 The ticket having been chosen

.Mr. K. K. Peoples then made a mo

tion that tiiis ticket lie ihe unan-

imous choice of the convention, and that each and every man get om

to work for its success. Judge Kr win then introduced a motion nam

ing 'lie ticket the “Non-Partisan Ticket." Both motions were unan-

imously carried. A campaign com

mittee was then named by ballot consisting of Judge Kra in. chair- man; Theodore Kettleson. Harry Badger and diaries Thompson. Like- wise it was decided that if for any reason any candidate should with draw from the race a committee ton

sisting of the chairmen of the var-

ious parties taking part in the

meeting together with Mr. Men/.ie. the chairman of the meeting, should name the candidate who in their estimation would best fill the posi tion thus left vacant, and that their choice would he the choice of the convention. The meeting was then

adjourned.

I Tom Lloyd made a neat little

| speech for the benefit of Bill Sic- i'hee, who thanked Tom for his world of information. Tom you know is awfully wise.

Now if Tom Lloyd ran would lie carry Mt. McKinley? No. Cook would.

Bob Menzie made a bang up chair- man. if they were all like Boh a

true Fusion ticket might have been nominated.

Judge Erwin blamed it all on

Wiekersham.

The jedge remarked sah. that east of the mountains, sah. Delegate Wiekersham, sah. was considered the agent of the Guggenheims, sah. but. sah. Alaskans know better, sah. and the convention was called, sah. to nominate a fusion ticket, sail, and not to hear what Jedge Erwin, sah. thought of Delegate Wicker- sham, sah. We know what Alas- kans think of him, sah. and you all are nearly two months late, sah, with

you' political dope. sah. The jedge you know is an authority, sah. on

east of the mountain politics, sah.

lU'l-c Krwin wants to defeat tie Socialists simple because a negro c

ecu the ticket. He said about as

much. sah. when lie made his great- est efforts to show how much he had memorized. sah. from tie- speeches of other men of the South, sail, on the negro question. sah.' Koh centuries, sah, the niggar has in- habited the continent of Africa, sail lie lived in a country rich in timber, •ah. and yet gim'men lie nevah cut c pice e of lumber. He lived in

a land rich in rocks, sah. and yet. sail, lie nevah carved a piece of stone For centuries gem-men lie trod unelali his bah feet, a land ric h in diamonds, and yet he nevah knew what they were. sah. until a

white man came and showed him. salt He was a hunter by necessity, and yet. sah, he nevah saw a knife, sail, or a spear, sah. until the white mail set font on his continent, sah.

Foil years.sail, the' niggahs worked their wives, sah. solii their children, sah, and ate their brothers, sah. They name ovah to

We never knew .ledge Krwin. sah. had so many friends, sail. Kverybody lie spoke about were his "good friends, sah.” Oh. oh. oh, oh. oh. oh you bea-u-tiful jedge!

After it was all over someone

started to whistle "He's Mali Friend." and the jedge swelled up as big as

a house.

Krwin was nominated as chairman of the campaign committee, and ii was suggested that he get some

money from the (luggs. through their

representative. Henry Roden, "if any

hod.v can get it. Judge Krwin can." said Joe Dillow.

Krwin felt highly complimented. He wanted to be the Bryan of Fair banks, sail, but all he lacked was

the intelligence, oratorical ability, and personality, sail. He was long on the ambition, but short on the

necessary abilities.

"Oh. you beautiful doll" Kelly, got so warm lit* had to unbutton his \est. It was getting pretty hot Claude, but then why waste all that energy?

They ail wanted "Fink” limiting to run. but limning saitl: "When it conies to running gentlemen I can

run so fast that you can’t tag me

with a nomination.’

We wonder whether it was blood I or tobacco juice that Judge Pratt

spit when Roden was accepted bi seventeen of the assembled politi- cians.

Jedge Krwin told them, sah, that he considered the tactics of the op- posing forces, sah. as almost petti larceny politics, sah. But. sah, he considered himself, sah, some big chicken, sah.

Jedge Krwin certainly likes to hear himself talk. "All, tell vuh, sail that gem-man is suali there with that hot aih, sah.”

The near-politician who sat in the most prominent seat and seemed to do most of the talking for the Dem- ocrats expressed himself as greatly

i surprised that the Progressive fac- tion of the party dared put their

1

opinions before intelligent men such as himself. (’. K. Davidson and l-'red Martin. "Ah am greatly suhprised

i at mah good frien’ Mr. llillow," says

! the talkative one when Joe opposed the accepting of the agent for the

Guggenheims for senator.

Judge Erwin was mighty proud of the fact that the little town of

Selam, Alabama, furnished two Unit- ed States senators. They both serv-

ed their state for thirty years. "Ah tell you gem’men they were honest Southern men. sail, and the fact that

they were from the Bame town. sah. cut no ice, sah. They served that

great state of Alabama, sah, and

they served the people dah honest-

ly, sah. and they held office for thir-

ty years, sah "Oil. gee, it was great

jedge!”

Judge Adams first opposed Roden's

nomination, but apparently he let his desire to be on the winning side get the better of him, for he

deserted his guns under fire.

Davidson can really hear more

and actually hear less than any man in this world. He didn't know

Jennings had the Guggenheim stamp

on him in the last election. Dillow told him so though at the conven-

tion.

When Dan Driscoll was pointed out as the best vote getter of the town.

Near-Moss" Davidson replied "ex-

cept Dan Callahan." Now “almost" politicians should learn to speak t-e

spectfully of the politically dead.

If Davidson is as successful with Itodcn as he was with .Jennings and Callahan, at the last delegate elec- tion. and the last municipal election Alaskans will be spared the harden of tioden as senator

Apparently some people prefer tin good black “nigger" to the poor white trash.

"Ah tell you gem-men. Ah came

hcalt fob de sake of harmony." Well you opposed what you come to tin convention for. .ledge.

Say but “Stubbs" did love the limelight. A little more spot. Mr electrician. Mut don't make it too

strong please, cause "Stubbs” is just full of things that wouldn't appear well in public.

The steam roller may work well in wet ground and in the mire, hut the ground in Alaska is frozen, and it actually can’t hurt much.

"Ah rise to point of order. Mr. Chaihman." and then tin* clown 01

tile convention started his little act.

Whether it ends with the conven-

tion or will cause Alaskans to lie tin-

joke of tin- age. remains to lie seen.

The leader of the "Marber Shop Harmony" quartet is surely a base

singer.

Walter Rowson, the well known and popular young court stenograph- er. was admitted to tin* liar in Idit- arod on the 11th of September, ac

cording to a letter received last week. The petition which was

granted by Judge* Fuller, was pre- sented by Mr. E. Coke Hill.

Mr. Rowson went with Judge Over- field to the Iditarod last June in the* capacity of secretary, which

position he had held from the* pre- vious October.

Mr. Rowson was also one of tin* ( lass of IS which Mr. E. 15. Hussey put through the* Scottish Kite* dur-

ing his visit to Iditarod. so Walter will return to Fairbanks a full-fledg- ed lawyer and a .‘{2nd degree Mason.

The Citizen joins with his many

friends in wishing him unbounded success in his chosen profession.

rock-mOFslides SPOlLJjJMMER TRAIL

According to John Zug, the super- intendent of the local branch of the Alaska road commission, a bad mud and rock slide occurred on the Delta

recently. According to advices re-

ceived by the local superintendent the summer trail is put out of bus- iness as it will be impossible to have the road repaired this year. It will not. however, seriously inconveni- ence the railroad commission, as they are traveling light, and can go

around the slide with little delay or

difficulty. Mr. Zug says that Mr. Joslin, of the Tatiana Valley rail- road suggested that the commission be met by an automobile at Shaw creek. This is considered inadvis- able by the local superintendent for the reason that the Salclia river is very low at this time of the year, and a heavy automobile could not

be ferried across because of the low water.

UNITED IN MARRIAGE.

Saturday night at 8 o'cIock, the Itev. Dr. Condit joined in the holy bonds of matrimony. Ian L. Hunter and Miss Jennie Ahlborg, of this

city. The bride was attended by Iter sister. The happy couple will make tlieir home on Fairbanks creek.

“GENIAL TOM” RETURNS. After an absence of several

months in which he has visited the

Iditarod, Ruby, Circle and Dawson. Tom McGowan returned to the city Saturday. He was accompanied by Mrs. McGowan, who hail journeyed to Dawson to meet him. The popu- lar attorney evidently intends to

go through with the joke sugges- tion that he be a candidate for sena-

tor from this division. “The honor is too great a one to decline,” says the genial one.

HERE THIS YEAR UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL

SURVEY ANNOUNCES SCOPE OF

THIS YEARS INVESTIGATIONS.

The delay in passing the appropri- ation hill has made it impossible lor lie l idled Stale Geological Sur-

vey to carry out till the field pluns for Alaska that had been formulae ed lor It'lL’, but the funds that be- » atm- available by emergency ap- propriations made it possible to dis-

pel, h several of tlie smaller parties for a full season's work, and others started for Alaska as promptly as

,lie appropriation permitted. In southeastern Alaska the survey

proposes this year to study the gyp- sum and marble deposits. Mr. K. I’, liurchard. who sailed from Seattle about tin- first of September, has been put in charge of this work and will visit the marble deposits near

Wrangell and at the north end of Prince of Wales Island.

Detailed surveys are being made of the west end of the Chitina cop- per bell, where important discover- ies ot ore, have been made. A topo graphic survey of this field was be- gun on July I', by D. P. Wither- spoon and will lie continued up to the close of the field season. The

study ot tlie geology and mineral re-

sources of this district is being un-

dertaken by P 1|, Moffit, assisted by Theodore Chapin and J. It. Mertie. Jr. Mr. Chapin lias been working with Mr. Witherspoon. Messrs. Mof- fit and Mertie sailed for Cordova on tlie first of September.

A detailed survey of the copper- bearing region adjacent to Galena and Landlocked bays is also being made this summer by K. 11. Sargent and C. K. Giffen, who are engaged in making the topographic base map id' this district, beginning work about the first of September. The geo-

logy of the same region is being studied by s. It. Capps and It. L. Johnson.

The violent volcanic eruption that took place in the Alaskan peninsula in June caused the deposition of much material on the northern part of Kodiak Island and created great hardship among the settlers. In view of this condition it appeared desir able to undertake an investigation of this field, (i. C. Martin, who was

detailed to make a study of that area, reached Kodiak on the first of

July. Under the joint auspices of the Geological Survey and the Na- tional Geological society, he spent six weeks in investigating the vol- canic phenomena. His work was

facilitated by the courtesy of the revenue cutter service, which fur- nished local trans|K>rtation. On the

completion of the investigation Mr. Martin undertook a preliminary ex

animation of the mineral deposits of the western part of Kodiak Island.

The discovery of gold in the Ruby creek district and the large gold production from the Iditarod district made it imperative that the Geo- logical Survey continue its investi- gation of this field, and H. M. Kakm was detailed for this purpose. He arrived at Ruby creek about the mid- dle of July and later extended his work southward to the Iditarod dis trict.

or a number ot years the Geo-

logical Survey has been investigating the water supply available for plac- er mining in the Yukon-Tanana re-

gion. This year li. W. Davenport was detailed to investigate the wa-

ter resources of the Fortymile dis- trict and ('. E. Ellsworth those of the Birch creek and Fairbanks dis- tricts. This work was begun about the first of May and will be continu- ed until the end of the open season.

The important developments in lode

mining in the Fairbanks district

making it desirable to supplement the detailed surveys already made of this field. Philip S. Smith was

intrusted with this investigation. He arrived in Fairbanks about the first week in September, and it is hoped that he will be able to study most of the important discoveries of auriferous quartz in the district.

Through the couresy of the United States commissioner of the interna- tional boundary survey, a geologist was permitted to accompany the par- ties which are surveying the bound

ary north of the Porcupine river. A G. Maddren was detailed for this

purpose and accompanied the boun-

dary party which reached its field of operations about the first of June. It is expected that during 1H12 the

RICHARDSON LAID AT REST. At 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon.

Rev Dr. Condit paid tribute to Dr. Richardson, the veterinar> surgeon.

who died two weeks ago, and follow ed bv many friends of the deceased, tin earthly remains were laid at rest in the local cemetery. This in terment was at the request of Dr. Richardson’s brother.

REACHES HOME SAFELY. Miss Leila Moulton, who made so

many friends in Fairbanks during her visit to her uncle and aunt. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Jesson, the past sum

mer. arrived home in San Francisco about the middle of August.

Miss Moulton is very musical, and wrote that she was looking forward to the opening of the grand opera season.

SEEK REPEAL OF ORDINANCES 112-113

There has been in circulation for

| the past few days a petition seek : ing from the city fathers the repeal I of sections 112 and 113 of the Book

j of Ordinances. These are the or

dinanoes that were passed by tie- fathers at their meeting < f Septem-

jority of people to he unconstitution

al. They prohibit residents of Fourth avenue from having in their posses sion any liquor and make anyone who delivers to those residents any

intoxicant of any kind liable to a
