REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR DELEGATE IN C0N6RES5J
John W. Cordon, attorney at.<l mining
man of Nome since UMX) a J who has
mining interests in south w. stern Al
aska, is the regular republican nominee
for delegate in congress ami is making
his campaign on a party and personal
platform that pledges him to support
these principles:
ALASKA FOR ALASKANS
C'ors >n believes in and will fi-jht for
the principlo that Alaskans are capable
of administerfhg their home affairs and
will demaud an nbaadoninent of tho re
pugnant policy of sending carpet-b^g
eers to interfere with .\T5skn atT >irs.
HOME POLE FOR TERRITORY
Corson was the fust man to point out
the fact that the oni:nance of 17s7, pro
mulgated before the United Slates con
stitution, guiranteed new territory the
right of self-government and has made
a strong campaign for homo rule, show
ing clearly and conc'sel>" the evils of
congressional government, the ability
of Alaskans to formulate their owa code
and the bad f*iih 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 man to locate an entire section of ;
country and hold it for nbsontees. Cot
son's pledge* show that ho will demand
that, congress preserve Alaska for tho
men who aro building up tho" territory.
EIGHT HOURS FOB MINERS
(n his own miniog operations Corson
ha* long put in effect tho doctrine of
an eight hour day and fair p'ay toward
miners. El is advocacy of an eight hour
day is b:\seil upon practical cxporlenc*
and an honest opinion that the miners'
claim is just.
HARMONY WITH ADMINISTRATION
Corson is the regular republican
nominee, so recognized by national
republican leaders. Beside being in
political harmony with the'adminis
tra.ion Corson has a wide acquaintance
with t'".o most prominent republican
leaders in congress arid is able through
such acquaintance to call upon his
party leaders for aid a stranger could
not procure. His platform, in additi
? .on to planks enumerated, includes h
request for government aid in railroad
building in Alaska; the establishment
of ;i new judicial district in southwest
ern Alaska; more light stations and
aids to oaviguion; furthering work of
road commission, and the application
uf serious and hones: attention to Alas
ka's needs and the territory's develope
mont. advt.
