TO THE VOTERS OF THE
SECOND DIVISION
(laving tiiiulilied in the i’ri
marics and now coining before
you lo be voied upon in me IKu
eial Kleclion of September llm. 1
take this opportunity oi convok
ing to you all expression ol my
ideas and opinions on pimlic mut
ters, together with an outline of
tbe position i will pursue il el
ected. I feel that the voters of
tile Division ure entitled lo an ex
pression of Ibis kind so as to
better judge the candidates tor
wli. in they ure, asked lo vole.
- I am heartily in favor ot
tbe Democratic {Mat form and en
dorse- ft unreservedly. it con
tains alt I be1’ things that should
meet with tbe approval oi those
who have the best interests oi tbe
Territory at heart.
The basic industry of the Sec
ond Division is gold mining. 1
stand for the encouragement ot
propecting and the further devel
opment of ail legitimate milling
ventures and, if elected, will be
prepared lo combat any legisla
tion proposed that will" interfere
with the honest efforts of prospect
ors and miners. 1 will favor any
legislation that will tend to open
up for development the large
areas of patented ground that
have lain dormant in the Terri
tory for mauy years. Tins ground
brings no income to the Territory
and in no manner encourages the
individual m.ner or prospector.
1 wilt favor a compensation bill
bast d on industrial insurance; one
that will aiford protection to the
small mining operator and to the
families of men employed bj- oper
ators who are neither legally nor
financially responsible.
I will work for the creation of a
special fund to take care of the
aged, and needy. For the years
1931-3. $33u,Ouo was appropriat
ed, but becuuse of luck of funds
only $13U,0UU was expended; the
re-ult being that many of our
agi d residents hud to do without
their full allowance, their friends
and the merchants of their res
pective communities have had to
carry -the burden. Wo must see
to It that those- who pioneer d our
event Territory are properly enrol
for.
in It's message to the last Leg
islature. the Governor shows that
SI 04, of our taxes are derived
front the fishing industry. You.
efn judge from this how depend*
int the Territory is upon the fish
ing Industry for revenue, and how
greatly concerned we should be in
the proper handling of this vast
{natural resource of ours. in tn.v
1 opinion, this industry that plays
{such a vital part In our Territor
I lal well-being, should he admlnls
jtered by the Legislature and the
.regularly elected officials.
The Prlbiloff Islands, a part of
! the Territory, and the largest
j fur seal rookeries in the world,
! were leased to a private corpora
tion for a period of forty years.
This lease expired in 1904. Since
that time the Federal Government
[has administered the Islands. In
all these years no revenue has
come to the Territory from this
{valuable asset of ours, yet millions
'have gone to outside interests I
I favor placing ot these Islands mi
lder the direct control of the Leg
islature and the Territory’s elect
led officials.
I approve and will work- for the
enactment of a Community Prop
erty Law that will give the wives
joint ownership with husbands In
the property accumulated during
marriage. This is nothing more
than a wife's just due, for mar

“Mis* Aladdin," a two months

1 riage is a partnership, and espec
ially so in this country.
I am strongly In favor of em
ploying Alaskans only for both
Federal and Territorial work. We
have seen too many "birds ol
passage” employed of recent years,
to th„ exclusion of the old timer.
I stand for fair treatment of la
bor at all times and am unalter
ably opposed to special privelege
and class legislation.
Our President Is gradually lead
ing the nation out of the slough
of depression Into which our form
er leaders had plunged us. He
has shown a ready sympathy for
the problems of the Territory.
Alaskans can do their share ey
electing those candidates to of
fice who are In step and accord
with the National ..Government.
In conclusion, permit me to state
that my parents came to Alaika
in the early 1880’g and resided in
the Territory for over thirty yeara.
I was born at Sand Point, Alaska,
in 1891, moving with my parents
to St. Michael in 1895, coming to
' Nome in 1899. I am a University
graduate and a member of the
Pioneers of Alaska. My long resi
dence in the Territory h s given
me a wide acquaintance not only
with the people, but also with the
traditions of ibe past av3 the re
