TO THE VOTERS OF THE SECOND DIVISION:
j
As a candidate for re-election
to the Territorial Senate on the
Democratic ticket, I find myself
compelled to answer and refute
the base and malicious charges
I which have been circulated
j against me throughout this Divi
i sion recently, in an effort to de
feat me for re-election. I particu
larly refer to a circular letter
| written on stationery of the Grand
i Camp of Alaska Native Brother
hood, over the signature of one
; William L. Paul, Jr., who signs
( himself as secretary of that organ
: ization.
i Mr. Paul tells you that I voted
against the so-called “Equal
Rights” bill and should therefore
be defeated.. You already knew
j that I voted against the bill. I
1 never denieo it. But Mr. Paul goes
j further and states that in the dis
j cussion of the bill in the Senate
I “condemned Indians, Aleuts and
Eskimos as being no good because
! they stink, smell of seal oil and
should not be allowed to enter
places where white people gather.”
This is a deliberate lie on the
I part of Mr. Paul. I never made
j that statement.
! It is true that I opposed the bill
I as originally introduced and con
I tended then, as I do now, that the
' main purpose of the bill was not
! to benefit the natives, but was in
tended to promote the interests of
unscrupulous politicians, who
prey upon those innocent people
for their own political aggrandize
ment.
i
I offered an amendment to the
bill which would reserve the right
of the proprietor or manager of
any hotel, restaurant or other
I public place of business, to reject
any person, whose company might
endanger the health of others,
through the spread of communi
! cable disease; or any person of
, unclean habits; habitual drunk
ards who might cause annoyance
to others. Specifically providing
that there should be no distinction
of race. creed or color. This
] amendment was voted down, and
I I then voted against the original
j bill.
The second statement by Mr.
Paul, is to the effect that during
| the discussion of the Wolf Bounty
t
i
I
bill I stated “that white men
should receive $50.00 but that this
amount was way too much for In
dians, Aleuts and Eskimos.” This
is another deliberate lie, manu
factured out of whole cloth. I
never made such a statement.
During my 13 years of continu
ous residence in Nome and vicin
ity, I have, perhaps, contacted as
many of cui native people as any
person in the Territory. I have
flown into every village from
Hooper Bay to Barrow, and all
along the Yukon. I have had lots
of business with the natives, and
I challenge Mr. Paul or any other
man to prove that I ever discrim
inated against them in any way.
I have employed them both in
my airplane business and mining
and I have yet to have one single
complaint.
1 contended on the floor of the
Senate during the discussion of
the lull in question, that our Es
kimo people were a fine honest,
law abiding race and should not
be used io promote the interests i
of sell-seeking politicians, which
was what this bill was intended
to do. I contended further that if
the so-called “Equal Rights” bill
passed in its original form it
would create race hatred and ani
mosities between the native peo
ple and the whites which did not
then exist, and which Alaska
never knew up to this time. This
is exactly what it is leading to
today.
Who is William Paul, Jr.? Who
is this great political mentor who
is attempting to tell the people of |
the Second Division who to vote
for, and, who to destroy politically
in this Division? Who is this great
statesman, or should I say dicta
tor, who by remote control from
his swivel chair at a comfortable j
desk in Juneau attempts to die-;
tate to the citizens of the Second ,
Division as to who shall represent |
them in the Territorial Legisla- j
ture? He is the paid secretary of
the Alaska Native Brotherhood,'
residing at Juneau, 1500 miles
from here.
1 t’sk, you, citizens of the Sec
ond Division, do you feel compe
tent to exercise your right of
franchise and vote for candidates
of your own choosing, without in
struction from Juneau, from Mr.
PauE If you do <and I believe
you do) then you should indig
nantly resent such dictation and
advise Mr. Paul accordingly.
At this point, I would like to
ask the native people a question.
It 's this; what advantages did the
' Equal Rights” bring you in the
last year since it became law? Not
one iota. You had every right of
citizenship enjoyed by the white
man. The Federal Government
gave you free transportation,
medical care and hospitalization;
relief when necessary, in the way
of food and clothing; free hunting
and 'ishing licenses, etc. These are
decided advantages over those en
joyed by the white people. We do
not, and never did, object to you
receiving such consideration. But
we wonder how long tor Federal
Government will continue to give
you those free advantages. Did
you ever stop to tiimk. that some
day, perhaps in the not too distant
future, the Government might,
due to all the political propagan
da brought about by the so-called
‘‘Equal Rights” bill, withdraw
those privileges you now enjoy of
free transportation, medical, hos
pitalization, etc. I wonder what
the politicians and Mr. Paul, will
do for you if this should happen?
I cannot help calling your atten
tion also to Mr. Paul’s condemna
tion of Senator Scott and Repre
sentative Walsh in that circular
of his. Well, you know those men,
they need no defense from me.
They voted their convictions sin
cerely and conscientiously. And
again, they never said an unkind
or unclean word about the natives
when discussing the “Equal
Rights” bill. Mr. Paul again de
liberately lies when he alleges
that they did.
When you go to the polls on the
30th of this month, vote for the
candidates of your own choosing.
Use your intelligence and free
will to select those whom you
wish to represent you. Judge them
according to your own lights and
convictions. This is your Division;
do not submit to dictation from
Juneau, Ketchikan or Sitka. Re
fuse to be coerced; mud-slinging,
lies, name calling never won an
argument. Neither will it win this
election.
Sincerely yours,
FRANK H. WHALEY.
