ranks, working for the welfare and
prosperity of the Territory ^Because
of i his lovaible character he will
make many friends there; hia
personality wins cooperation, and
I prophecy that his record as dele
gate will be an enviaible one. We
are proud of our delegate and we
know he is proud of Alaska.
“Friends, it is with great pleas
ure thait 1 introduce to you Mr.
Anthony J. Dimond, our Delegate
elect to Congrpw.”
Delegate-elect Dimond in his
introductory/femarks said he was
glad of the i opportunity of address
ing the people of this section, and
thait owing to having been delayed
a week on his schedule by snow
storms, his plans ,t6r~visU..^bther
outlying sections as' far north as
Kotsebue, would necessarily have
(., 9
to be cancelled in order that he
reach southeastern Alaska and be
In time for inauguration at Wash
ington, D. C-, March 4th. He said
he wished it understood that what
he had to say was meant tp mean
not only for the people of Nome
but all of the Second Division.
Mr. Dimond stated he had attend
ed a public meeting held at the
U. S. Court House that afternoon,
under the auspices o>f the local
Chamber of Commerce and had be
come much enlightened as to the
needs of this section of Alaska,
which had been presented by Its
members in a most Intelligent and
constructive manner. He went ov
er the various subjects presented
o him for consideration, speaking
on the fishing industry and its pos
sibilities in Bering Sea, road,
trails and shelter cabins and also
airplane landing fields and the
airplane service and mail delivery.
He touched on the harbor, the
schools, the consolidation of the
second and fourth divisions which
he said was unthinkable to anyone
knowing Alaskan conditions, due to
the large area covered and the
miles which would necessarily.
have to be traveled In order to
get justice. ,
. Mrf^^imoim also touched bftef®
ly on the reindeer industry, say
ing that he knew so little about
ft, that it would bfi necessary for,
him to study the matter before j
talking intelligently about the sub
ject.
He spoke of the Federal high
way act, the matter of granting con
cessions and other matters, but in
summdng up he told his« hearers
that he would honestly and con
scientiously work and do everything
ip hie power to obtain the much
needed legislation we are seeking.
Replying to the suggestion made
by Judge Gore tint five per cent
more be deducted from the Alaska
fund and added to the indigent^
fund, he heartily endorsed the
Idea saying he himself would "be
in favor of a ton percent deduc
tion for that purpose. “While I
realize” he said, that this money
would come from the road fund,
much as I value the need of
, roads, personally, starving men
and women come ahead of road
building.” This remark elicited
much applause. He also said that
while it was outside of bis pro
vince that tbo next legislature
would be confronted wftb tbo task
of supplying additional funds to
tide the charitable work of the
territorial government over, until
the present industrial depression
is over.
A matter not discussed at the
Chamber meeting was touched upon
by the delegate. This was in re
gards to the bill now before con
gress suspending the annual ass
essment work on mining claims
for the ybsr beginning July 1st,
1932 and ending July let, 1933.
He said that personally he was
opposed to the measure as he be
lieved the work should be perform
ed. However he would wish to
have an expression of opinion from
the people of this division on the
subject, and asked as he did 6n
other matters, that they write him
and givb their views as it was a
matter of importance.
Mr. Dimond stressed his views
as to the welfare of the Indian
and Eskimo peoples of Alaska. This
angle of his address was probably
suggested by his meeting with the
native people at their club rooms
here. He said he was deeply in
terested in their economic and soc
ial welfare and promised"to do all
in his power to obtain better all
otments for medical, educational
hospital and other humane purpos
es.
Mr. Dimond is a fluent and able
speaker. He employs no useless ver
biage but cuts right into the heart
of his subject. He leaves no mis
understanding as to where he
stands on any subject with which
he is acquainted. He received rapt
attention from his audience and
at the conclusion of his address,
was greeted with spontaneous bursts
of applause.
Judging by the number of peo
ple who pushed forward to shake
hands with him as he stepped
dawn from the platform, it is safe
to say his initial appearance made
a bit with the people of Nome.
