Live In \l.?sk;? and vote for Home
Rale
Today the political campaicn
? huh has interested Alaskans more
tkr: arivthinac eise for the- past few
m?v: ??. <iraw* to a close The ar?u
roent from ill sides have been pre
sented h> the \arious candidates
Th.-> h;*\c stated their oases and it
is no* up to the voters to decide
who shall represent this district in
congress for the next two years To
morrp* the votes will be cast, and
upon tht> casting ?f that vote will
b?- Jrto n: iti\| whether we are still
Sincere m our demands for home
government or are jwst the play
thinps of politicians
FTom the >~"SJ information that
this paper is able to obtain, there
is every reason to believe .that the
*rreoi majority of oar voters through
out the Territory are as patriotic
toda> *s lh?sy have been since the
feeglnainc of the ficht. Th?y still
belie\<? that all locslntioo is sub-'
servient to and btSed upon the mill
of ike majority oi the p^pls That
rx> matter * hat things are need
ed in Alaska* those thine* nmst bo
iwwrw4 and controlled by the peo
ple her?. and in order to insure
stability nnist become a j\art ot our
honif fabric
It is irw that -we wH coal land
laws. fish r-egalaiion laws, railroad
sHper> i si on so far as they bear re
lation to the nWflrc of the majority
of the people liTinf here. The peo
ple of Alaska must first he consid
ered in the formation of law? ? not
the corporations. The people of Al
aska want corporations and Individ
uals of wealth to come here and de
velop these r**o?rres We will of
fer them eTery Inducement that l?
honorable and rentable to o*r
aelveu as well as to the investors
The corporations ess deal better
with the people direct than tbey can
with the frra?"tinft lobbyist* and poli
ticians at Washington. We are will
ing to wake teem* with financiers
for the opening of omr r???K*;
our only objection is to consenting
to dishonorable terms which will rob
ms of the land s wealth without re
turning a reasonable equivalent for
the values we have to deliver.
That is the point which has caus
ed all the division and friction in A1
vska politics. The carpet baggers,
the men of special interests, and the
office grabbers have maintained tha
they should govern; that the rest of
us were not capable of self govern
ment They have said and are say
j ;ng today that property comes ahead
??f men We maintain that all laws
must depend for justice and perpet
uity npon the expressed will of the
people that are to be governed.
Nothing stable can ever be imposed
upon an unwilling people All the
laws governing property that eon
irress could pass in a thousand years
would only result in failure and in
jury to the country, unless those
law* had the backing and consent of
the people who must live under then
We maintain that self government
Is the one central requirement to
the development of AlASkti. It is
thi- first necessity of succees. When
that Is obtained we shall be in a po
sition to regulate our internal af
fairs for the good of all. Until
such time as we obtain a full self
governing legislature and make such
law* an are best needed, both for
ourselves and for the men of wealth
who desire to invest here, there will
be nothing but discord and stagna
tion, like that which is destroying
progress at present.
We have expressed our convic
tions at the ballot box for years
it has always been the samp -Home
Rule. It is as unchanged today and
tomorrow It will not be*less. Wlck
ersham will again represent our
faith, and home rule will represent
onr religion until it is obtained, and
we are placed on an equality with
men of our race who live elsewhere
To vote for anyone save Wicker
sham means a giving up of all our
cherished ambitions, and would
brand as a nation of eowards those
mho would barter the rights of self
government for political promises or
party success.
