JO! W. CORSON, OF NOME,
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR 0ELE6ATE IN CONGRESS^
Jobn \V. Cordon, at .ot uey and mining
man of Nome since liWO and who hns
mining interests In southwestern Al
aska, is the regular republican nominee
for delegate in congress anil is manlng
fc!s campaign on a party and personal
platform thai pledges him to supmirt
these princip>*s:
ALASKA F6R ALASKANS
1'orson believe* in and will fight for
the prlnciplo that Alaskans are capah 0
of administering their home affairs and
will liematid an abandonment of the re
pugnant policy of sending carpot-b-g
gers to Interfere with Alaska alT.irs
HOME RULE FOR TERRITORY
Corson was the tit **t man to point out
the fact that the ord nauce of 1787, pro
mulgated before the rolled S:utcs con
stitution, guaranteed new territory the
right of self-government and has maJe
a stk*ong campaign for home rule, show
ing clearly avd conc'sely ihe evils of
congressional goTernment, the ability
of Alaskaus to formulate their ow ) code
and the bad ! kith of congress that with
holds full territorial rights.
POWER OF ATTORNEY
In all his speeches Corson has point
ed out the evil of unrestricted use of
the power of attorney which permits
one lino to locate an entire section of
country and hold it fop absentees. Co<
son's p'edgei show that ho will demand
thai congress presorvo Alaska (or the
men who are building up tho* territory.
EIGHT HOURS FOR MINERS
In his own mining: operations Corson
has !oni; put in rlTect tho doctrine of
j an eigh1 hour day and fair p'ay toward
miners. His advocacy of an ci^ht hour
I day is b-?se I upon practical experience
an>l an honest opinion that the miners'
claim is just.
HARMONY WITH ADMINISTRATION
Corvon is the regular republican
nominee, so recogoized by national
republican leaders. Beside being In
politic.) I harmony with tho admlrW
tra on Corson has a wide acqualntHuee
with t o most p-onvnent republican
eiders in congress and is able through
such acquaintance to call upon his
parly leaders for aid a stranger could
not procure. li is platform, in udditi
lion to planks enumerated, includes ?
request for xovernmout aid in railroad
building in Alaska; tho establishment
of a' new judicial district in southwest
ern Alaska: more light stations and
aids to navigation: furthering work of
road commission, nnd the application
of seriou> and hones*, attention to Alas
ka's meds anj the territory's develope
