SEWARD DAILY GATEWAY GATEWAY PUBLISHING CO. G. L. JUDSON. - - - LESSEE SUBSCRIPTION RATES* One Dollar per Month: Ten Cents a Copy Seward, Alaska, March 14, 1^14 Before the last Presidential election democrats were a pretty scarce article in Alaska. There were a few of course, as the democrat is a hardy plant, and will grow almost anywhere but at that, the population of Aslaska was made lip largely of republicans, social ists, bull-moosers and Swedes, with the people who did not like raft and could not pronounce the socialist candklate’s name boosting for Champ Clark. Wilson was looked upon as a school teacher who was doing pretty well at Princton, but would never do to (ill the chair once used by Cleveland and in which Bill Taft once rattled around, like a lonesome color in a gold pan. The people, wanted a change, not only in Alaska, but on the great outside as well, and while we did not have much to say about it, we were satisfied to say “well enough” when they got it. We did not particularly want Wilson, but when we had a chance to see him tried out, we were mighty glad that we had him. lie has made good, and made good a great deal stronger than we had any right to think he would. That is because we did not know any thing much about Wilson. The railroad question was "in much the same condition. We, in Alaska, wanted a change. We were not sure what kind of a change we wanted, out we wanted a change that would give us a railorad, and as we knew some thing about a private owned and built railroad, we figured that kind was the kind we wanted. We knocked a Gov ernment-owned road largely because it was something new. It was a lot like Wilson. We did’nt know what it would be like, and now we are going to have a chance to see, and the; chances are that a government-owned and onerated railroad will be as pleas- j * ant and aggreeable a surprise in the railroad line as Woodrow Wilson has proven himself tu be in the president-1 ial line. The wildest dreams of Alaskans will; be more than realized if the govern-, ment railroad works out as well in j practice as the democratic administra- j tion, and if it does, the prosperity of \ Alaska is ns detinately settled as its. political future,judging from the num ber of democrats you meet on the trail j of the great northern country sincei Wilson started his campaign of doing j things and not talking and theroizing all the time. Now that we are to have a government-owned and operated railroad in Alaska, Alaskans are ail strong for government ownership.
