ONE GOOD TERM DESERVES
ANOTHER
Prom day to day "The Taxpayers'
Record." the official orjjan of Shea.
Tanner & Co.. Is directing a flood of
scjrrilous abuse at E. J. Shaw, who
heads the Citizens' ticket for council
man.
Why this especial animosity?
Simply because Sh?>a. Tanner & Co.
recognize and fear Shaw's ability.
That they recosnize it is certain, for
with a majority of four on the last
< ouncil. K. J. Shaw was appointed
chairman of the ways and means com
inttee for the sole reason that Shea
Nye. Snyder and Clark realized that
K. J. Shaw was the best man for the
position.
As chairman of this important com
mittee Mr. Shaw did valuable service
for the town. It is hardly too much
to say that he was 'he brains of the
las' council, in-so-far as Shea and his
associates could be controlled by
Fearless and outspoken, Mr. Shaw
frequently corabatted the foolish and
radical measures proposed by Shoa
and more than one won his point al
most single handed. Shea, Tanner &
C >. rea'lze this and for this reason )??
lone they want to defeat Shaw.
They are not attacking Mr. Shaw's
> ability, nor his integrity or zeal; they
ure using the weapons of abuse,
slander and mis-representation. Kven
w'th their utter disregard for the fact
they are unable to assail his record a?
a councilman.
For five years Mr. Shaw has served
on he council of Skagway. and no
man ever starred the town more faith
lully. He has always had important
committee assignments and he has al
ways done the work allotted him in a
careful and painstaking manner.
Shea and Tanner are overshadowed
by Shaw and Jealously has increased
their na'ural vindictiveness toward
him. Hence their unbounded abuse.
If the citizens of SkaKway believe
that one Kood term deserves another;
if 'hey want men of business ability
and common sense on the town outl
et]; then, K. J. Shaw will be re-elect
ed. It is hardly believable that lie
ciui be defeated by a campaign of
slander and personal billingsgate.
Study the man's record as a coun
cilman and then decide if he is not
entitled to your vote.
There are a good many people In
Skagway who havn't forgot that Chris
opher Columbus Shea was working in j
tile interest* of Gov. Hoggatt at the
last election, lloggatt's candidate got
37 votes In Skagway. That looks as
il Christopher Columbus Shea wa; a
friend of the people's? doesn't It?
Christopher Columbus Shea had tli
disbursement of the Corson campaign
fund In the last election of Alaska's
delegate to congress. Corson was op
posed to homo rule. Shea Is one of
the 27 Hoggatt men In Skagway.
Herb Ta7lor returns from Cordova
and says Skagway looks pretty good
to him. And yet Cordova is being!
boosted as tho best town lu Alaska.
This ought to ailencc some of our
knockers.
Shea.Tanner & Co. are laboring un
der the delusion that they can whip
the Skagwuy voters Into line under
their standard by a bogey concocted
solely by vivid Imagination.
Unless all signs fall. Shea, Tanner
& Co. will reclevo a merited rebuke
at (he polls. A campaign of slander
and abuse doesn't appeal to the aver
age American voter.
"Lay not up for yourselves treai
ures upor. earth, where moth and rust j
doth corrupt, and where thieves break
through and steal." ? Matthew. Chap
So far Christopher Columbus Shea
has been unable to find an "Issue" in
the dog poisoning eases.
IMtig blown away in balloons is be
coming quite a common occureiu
Shea, Tanner ?fc Co could raise an
"Issue" out of a dog fight.
Only two days left in whieh to re
ister.
Home rule for Alaska.
Vote the straight tieket.
