WASKEY'S BACKER COMES
TO SKAOWAV
John McLaughlin, representing the
miners, labor unions, and democrats of
Nome, is in Skagway in the interest of
the candidacies of Frank H. Waskey,
for the short term delegateship, and
Thomas C'ale for the long term. He
has completed a tour of the Ketchikan
dhtrict, Jnneau and other portions of
Southeastern Alaska. He is confident
of the success of his ticket next Tues
day.
Mr. McLaughlin says ?'Judge" Mur
ane will be very badly defeated at
Nome. He is also confident that
Thomas Cale will carry Southeastern
Alaska, insuring him a plurality in
each of the judicial divisions of Alaska.
In speaking of Frank H. Waskey, .in
whose candidacy he is particulary in
terested, Mr. McLaughlin said:
"Frank H. Waskey the candidate of
the miners for delegate to congress from
Alaska, is a native of New England and
comes of staunch revolutionary stock.
R"For years he has delved in the creeks
and hillsides of Alaska from Ketchikan
to Point Barrow and today is occupied
in piercing the frozen tundra of Seward
Peninsula where he has faithfully
labored and where he has been most
favorably known for many a seasons by
the great bulk of the population.
"He is a miner, a fine type of the in
tellectual acd hard working miner,
nothing else, first last and all the time.
"Though Frank Waskey has lived
but half the time taat is popularly sup
posed to be allotted to man he has
managed to place to his credit an
amount of conscientous and praisworthy
effort towards developing the resources
of the great Northland which his
legions of friends have asked him to
represent at the capital of the United
States.
"If Frank Waskey has spent the best
part of his manhood in prospecting
Alaska it cannot be said that he is not
thoroughly equipped mentally to serve
the best interests of the country in the
halls of congress. Added to his natur
ally bright talents has a sound college
education and a gift of eloquence that
will enable him to present our cause in
a manner that is bound to reflect credit
on his const itu tents.
"Nor is he a bird of passage amongst
us. He has not come to turn his back
at the first reverse. Alaska he has
chosen as his home. He has come to
stay.
"His wife and family reside with him
at Nome today. On the bleak shore of
Bering sea they have Decorne perman
ently settled. Mrs. VVaskey calls Alaska
home, while her toddling little son
gives manifestation of the paternal
spirit by using deminutive pan and
shovel washing ?. the gravel on his
father's claims.
"As a miner Frank Waskey offers
himself as a candidate from the land of
minerals, as a miner alone he seeks the
support of everyman who believes that
a miner should carry the banner of
Alaska and as a miner and tbe candi
date of the miners he is prepared to
stand or fall while his well known hon
esty and fearlessness are sufficient
guarantee that the interests of all the
people, no matter their occupation, will
be perfectly safe is entrusted to his
keeping.
"If proof were wanted of his standing
amongst the people who know him best
and of their opinion as to his ability it
need only be said that the brightest
men ot Nome and Seward Peninsula are
are his sponsors.
"Not only is the mining element solidly
in his favor but men of every profession
vie with each other in fighting to elect
him."
