1. P DAWKS, of Wrangell
The people of Alaska are Intel
ligent enough so that they will not
ntyj a lot of coaching on the eve
of election The methods of cam
paigning has undergone a change
within the past ten or fifteen years
There was a time when It was
thought necessary to get out the
band and hire torch lights and magic
lanterns and have big parades and
generally make a noise for the pur
pose of working upon the passions
and prejudices of the people, who
were supposed not to know very
much, and could be voted by the
politicians with the biggest mouths o
by the cleverest liars 1 hings have
changed since then, and the voters
are using their brains. The elec
tion tomorrow will he fought by a
battle of brains and not by bluffers
and four flushers. It will be a bat
tle of principles and not of good
fellowship. We have bven fighting
for years for Home Rule, we have
always won the elections on that
ground and we don't intend to be
stampeded at the last moment by
the blare of drums and the frenty
of spellbinders.
The true Alaskan knows what
he wants, has known It for weeks,
and will continue to know it long
after the nelfish politicians have
been snowed under.
In apologising for the lack of at
tendance at the "Non-Partisan"
meeting held in Juneau last Thurs
day, the Dispatch says "doubtless
the hall would have been packed
but for the woeful lack of inter??t "
That certainly is an original and
convincing solution of the vexatious
question With this complete un
derstanding the situation ought not
be so "woeful ' for the "Non?." As
it now stands they would have had
a crowded hall if the people had
only attended, but the people, con
aarn 'em, they didn't attend. In
other words. If the people had be
lieved in the Non-Partisans and had
attended, they would have been
there Or to make it more plain,
they would have been there had
they arrived. To be explicit, if
Hon Ingersoll and Hon Tanner,
and Hon Tripp, and Hon. Gunni
son. and Hon. Keniie, and the oth
er more or less honorablee had suc
ceeded in getting a crowd they wou $
have had an audience Not suc
ceeding, they were unable to as
semble the people, consequently the
people were not there The explan
ation is along the line of argument
which these honorable* have used
throughout the campaign and which
is the real reason that so few at
tended
It it probably a fact that If you
get a large number of people Into
the most barren land on earth they
will find s?ome way to make a liv
ing R?>s?urces which were invisible
in the beginning will crop into sight
as necessity demands.
This truth is borne home by the
present prospect of the fishing in
dustry up and down the coast. They
hare a cannery already in opera
tion up Xorth and hundreds of bar
i*ls of fish have been caught near
Golovin bay Of course, the fish In
dustry does not appeal very strongly
to gold miners unless on temporary
occasions when a greyling goes well
with the bacon and beans, but it is
no harm to remember that men are
making us much money in southeast*
em Alaska by fishing as they could
by good mines. There is no reason
to doubt that fisheries on this coast
are as good as they are anywhere
elae. We are told that they are, as
a matter of fact, by men who ought
to know. Let us hope that one
more industry will be added to our
list before long. ? Nome Nugget.
Tomorrow the people of Alaska
will be called upon to cast their
vote once more in the cause of
Home Rule. While It is not a vote
at this time for a delegate to Con
gress. It is nevertheless a vote for
the same principles which actuated
the voters at that time and of
much more importance to the gen
eral welfare of the Territory.
We still have that samp class of
people in Alaska who are as eager
today and as Industriously at work
trying to defeat the Home Rule
cause in the legislature as they
ever were to defeat It In the election
of a d legate. Nothing would
please them more than to elect
men to the legislature who would
antagonise, and defeat If possible
everything and anything Introduced
that would be of any benefit to the
people of the Territory. There Is
only one way in which to defeat
this, and to accomplish anything
in the way of legislation in the
very short time of sixty days, and
that is to elect a body of meu who
are in harmony with the Home
Rule cause and in harmony with
each other; men whom we know
have spent their time and money,
and have worked openly and fear
lessly for the cause; never waver
ing or faltering on account of form
er political opinions or business re
lations
Such and such only are the ones
whom we can expect to accomplish
things and deliver us from the
wrongs imposed upon us by the un
derhanded scheming of the big in
terests
The tax on canned salmon pack
ed by the Alaska Packers Associa
tion during the past season in Alas
ka amounted to $17,626.84, which
was paid into the United State*
treasury in Valdes a few days ago.
Think of the nice things that will
bnv for Alaska ? Christmas presents,
etc.
But before we start buying Christ
mas presents, let ?s look into the
method of paying this considerable
sum It was paid without the
transfer of a single cent to the fed
eral treasury It was paid by an
affidavit of two superintendents in
the employ of the company without
so much as a government inspection.
A part of the affidavit reads as fol
lows: The Alaska Packers Asso
ciation "has caused to be planted
and released 44,067,100 red salmon,
all in a good and proper manner.**
This releases the packers from pay
ing taxes on their pack. The affi
davit is sworn to by Ingwald J. l^oe
and L W. St rasa
