WHY OF If
J. J. McGratli Explains Mr.
Waskey'a Absense
Skagway, Aug. 13? (To the Editor) ?
In last Saturday's issue of the Daily
Alaskan expression is giveu to the
opinion that Frank Waskey's inability
to make a pre-election visit to this
Division entails his inability to attend
to his congressional duties when elect
ed de'egate to Washington.
As the impression conveyed by this
unintentionally mistaken idea may be
harmful to Mr. Waskey I should like
to state that the cause of his absence is
merely temporary and is due to a law
suit which has been forced on him io
connection with the ground upon which
he has discovered pay after years of
effort.
It is unfortunate that he could not
come of course b?it the fact that he has
become one of the victims of the
methods that have made Nome's name
a byeword should be placed to his credit
and not used against him.
liecause he has suffered, his sympathy
for sufferers is certain. Because he
himself has beeu attacked by the
disease ot maladministration he wiH
know how, when and where to apply
the remedies.
, Taking this last opportunity for sa.v
in>^in behalf of Frank Waskey that the
exceedingly great courtesy of the Daily
Alaskan towards an opponent is not un
appreciated and will not be forgotten.
I remain very sincerely yours.
