Democratic he s of Governor | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—[UNEAU, ALASKA Ril from the immortal document pen- ned a century and three-quarters ago by Thomas Jefferson—-the Declaration of Independence, It has endured because it has been responsive to the will of the peo- ple—the only sovereign power in a naticn of free men and under a government by the consent of the governed. When at intervals the Democratic party has become the minority party, it is because it has faltered in its course, fallen short in its deals and failed to live up to its traditions. “But the needs of the nation aga.n and again have recalled the Democratic party to leadership and nsibility. We face such a call today which will be answered by a rescunding majority in Al- ska and throughout the nation.” Basic Freedoms The Governor said the cwes its birth to founders nation who forced addition of the Bl of Rights to the U. 8. consti- i so Americans would have of basic freedoms of press, assembly, speech, worship and trial by jury. an answer to Alexander Hamilton and John Adams of the Federalist party who “were engaged in mak- inz cur nation a citadel of privi- |lege under a rule of wealth with property the basis for vot.ng. Our 1ew, independent na.ion was being headed toward autocracy and gov- canment by the few. “The popular revolt against these reactionary policies gave birth to the Democratic party in 1800 when Jchn Adams was deieated for re-clec.ion to the presidency by Thomas Jefferson.” He said that humanitarian ideals then began to be followed and “there followed 40 years of pro- gress under Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson. The nation expanded wes.ward, the Louisiana purchase by Jefferson nearly doub- ied the American domain and fun- damentals of American foreign pol- icy were laid down. in the epoch- making Monroe doctrine, extending to the embryo repub- the south, making the hemisphere ‘the new party of the Split On Slavery Andrew Jackson’s cruefal strug- gle to wipe out the private Bank the United States, which had corrupted the press and the public, culminated in his reiusal to re- new its charter which would have made the rich richer and the po.ent more powerful.” Governor Gruening said the Demccrats lost power when they became split on slavery and that a wounded nation kept the Re- publi in power because of after ef s of the Civil War and not because the Republican par- ty carried on the ideals of Abra- ham Lincoln. The early Republi- cans of the eighteen fifties had been the apostle of freedom, jof free soil, o1 free men, filling the ap when the Demccrats under such weak figures as Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan aban- dened the doctrines of Jefferson Jockscn. ¢ But the welling forees of freedom inevitably found new leadership in the man who cailed for ‘a new birch of frée- dom’ and ‘government of the peo- p:e, by the people and for the “The Democratic by its misleaders, deserved it received.
