ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION In accordance with its usual custom, The Empire will not issue an edition on July 4, next Monday ROOSEVELT WINS EASILY. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Governor of New York, is the choice of Democracy for President of the United States. The representatives of that party, in convention in Chicago last night, gave him an over- whelming majority, 946 votes out of a possible 1,154, on the fourth ballot of the convention and the first of Friday's session. The outcome was not a surprise in any sense of the word. He has been the leading candidate for the honor of leading his party in this year's national election since late last year. His position was so commanding at the outset of the year that all rivals joined in a futile drive to head him off. For months now this anti-Roosevelt cam- paign has been in progress. Far in the van, he was the target for all attacks, as is always the case where there is keen competition for political pre- ference. He took the drive in good part, maintained his even temper and good nature and at no time lost the dignity that is characteristic of him. His attitude under fire from other party leaders was but another evidence of his innate bigness, and his fitness for the office to which his party now seeks to elevate him. There are few who question that fitness. He has a long and unsurpassed record as a public servant. As State Senator in Nev then Assistant Secretary of Navy unde Daniels in the administration of unassailable. He has shown marked ability to grasp problems and solve them. He has proved the high quality of his leadership on more than one occasion. He is rightly entitled to be classed in the galaxy of leaders of the Democratic’Party that includes Alfred E. Smith, his chief rival for the nomination this year and nominee four years ago; Newton D. Baker, Wilson's great War Secretary; Owen D. Young; Albert C. Ritchie, Maryland’s great Chief Executive; John Nance Garner, Speaker of the House of Rep- resentatives; James A. Reed, Missouri’s favorite son; John W. Davis and others almost as notable. Several of these were rivals for the nomination, and his victory was due in some measure to the fact that a majority of Democrats in the nation feel that he is more available than any of the others mentioned. He has proved beyond any possibility of doubt that he is a vote-getter, demonstrating that capacity when he first entered New York State politics, and proving he still retained it when he| was elected Governor in 1928 and in the many !

And, if successful, he will give t now in one of its most trying periods, a quality of leadership that it sorely needs. The convention faithfully carried out the wishes of the party in nominating him. It must have been a real disappointment to those political forecasters who had visioned an embattled Democratic Convention in Chicago for many days, rivaling possibly the Madison Square Garden affray in 1924, to have Gov. Roosevelt nominated on the fourth ballot without any of the bitter factional that had been predicted. strife The Democrats of Alaska have a right to feel a bit Gov “chesty.” They were the first to endorse| Roosevelt for the Presidential nomination and can thus claim to be the original Roosevelt men. FOURTH OF JULY. Next Monday marks the 156th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This year, as in most years since that historic occasion, July Fourth will be celebrated with parades, orations, athletic contests and more or less restricted ex- plosions of fireworks. But at present, to a greater degree than in the past, these traditional methods | of observance will be subordinated to serious con- sideration of an economic depression that prevails throughout the nation and of social problems that press for solution in the interest of orderly gov- ernment To revive trade, restore industry and rehahimate]‘ agriculture, so labor in city and country will have employment at remunerative wages, perplex the best minds both in and out of legislative halls.

For remonstrating against such wrongs the sign- ers of the Declaration of Independence and their families were proscribed by royal decree, and re- wards of 500 pounds were offered for their appre- hension The manner of living has been greatly changed by discoveries and inventions. Now knowledge is more widely diffused than formerly. What are re- garded as necessities and comforts today were not even dreamed of as luxuries yesterday. | While life is more complex, still the principles for its guidance are as simple, or rather the same, as before. Honesty, intelligence and courage are| indispensible, as always. When they are marshaled with such a fervent patriotism as inspired our fore- of are not quar us seas fathers to risk their lives and fortunes for inde- pendence, no problems, however grave, can resist solution.

On a neighboring island three men plan a rescue, hav- ing traced the kidnapers by plane, and Jerry Calhoun de- termines to invade Ashwood’s island. CHAPTER 16, SUSPICIOUS HOSPITALITY Somehow, to Nancy's relieved amazement, another breathless day had dragged through the haggard hours without bloodshed. Mallory, bandaged and looking very sick, had remained indoo: glowering over one highball aft another. Hamilton had been en grossed, as usual, in his intermin- able Canfield. Martin and Wil- liams, vague, inoffensive figures drifted like restless wraiths in and out of the rooms. WNanc; scalp tightened and pricked whenever she looked into their eyes, such depths of misery and * madness were reflected there. Lucci and Ashwood had discussed business intermittently without, apparently, | reaching an entente cordiale. | A faint whisper of cool wind | rattled the dry palm leaves as the | livid sun dived unceremoniously beneath the hard line of the hor- | izon. Ashwood, lounging indolently a | dozen (feet away, was watchiag the kaleidoscopic play of colors with an appreciative eye. Suddenly, how- ever, he sat bolt upright, gazing fixedly across the mile-wide stretch, A swift motorboat dashed out of the the channel. of iridescent water toward the sand | bordering the nearest island to the east. He rose, shrilled his pecul- iar whistle and pointed acr where etched in black agail tinted background of sand, a solitary figure, waving a white handkerchief, Instantly, it seemed, a swift motorboat, manned by a crew of three, dashed out of the camou- flaged dock and headed across the channel. Lucei, Mallory, Wilson and Martin emerged from the house to stand lined up at the porch rail, watching the speeding boat in ex- pectative silence, speculating in- wardly upon the meaning of the stranger in the lives of those on the kidnappers’' island. The mo- hogany boat ‘coasted up to the op- posite shore, the three men leaped out on the beach and, after a brief parley with the newcomer, took him aboard and returned with him to the boathouse. As the lone man, surrounded by the three guards, walked toward the house, Nancy became aware of an intuitive certainty this was not a casual wayfarer, but a messen- ger from those of the outside world who were interested in the rescue, He had been in the water, that much was evident, for his clothes clung wetly to his muscular figure. Of medium height, the set of his shoulders and the narrowness of his hips gave his slight figure a litheness, a grace of modelling, which would have gladdened the eye of an artist. He was not handsome, for his mouth was too large and his jaw too prominent. . before, But his tanned face—a little im- pudent, reskless something in it which gave him a distinction not to be gained by mere good looks. | The girl's hear{ gave a sudden nd.

Then he turned abruptly to Ashwood, who appeared to be thoroughly en- Jjoying himself. (Copyrig htDial Press Does Ashwood suspect that Jerry and Nancy have met be- fore?
