Recently there appeared in the ditf
erent territorial papers, a notice that
Hon. YVm. D. CoDpernoll would run
for Attorney General of Alaska against
Rustgard in the primary elections.
We are in receipt of Judge Copper
noil’s platform and print it herewith:
“1 PLAY NO FAVORITES; no
person, association or corporation has
any striugs on me. If L am nominated
and elected, I will at all times be mind
ful that a public official is a servant of
the people; that the people’s interests
are paramount, and after election day
I will not forget my friends, but will
greet all with a hearty shake of the hand
In all matters 1 shall seek the co oper
and aid of the masses to insure safe and
s»ne legislation,and use every endeavor
to get RESULTS that will be bene
ficial.
From the political standpoint v. oo
pernoll is practically unknown in ' (as
ka. but both as a lawyer and as a ,~.m
missioner he has a fine record. He is
known as an upright gentleman and in
case he were elected people could
depend on a square dealand could be as
sured that in.eresas of the territory
would be safe guarded.
Another entrant in the political a
rena this year is Edward Olfin, on the
Republican ticket,who deserves the sup
port of everyone in the division. He if
elected would undoubtedly prove one
of the ablest men we have had for a
long time.
Joe Murray will undoubtedly be re
elected as will Foster and Senator
Chamberlain.
There is no entrant in the race again
st Dan Sutherland, as yet, and it is to
be hoped that he will be allowed to erd
his fight against the fishing regulations
and the seal graft. In spite of adverse
criticism which has been printed, Suth
erland has gone ahead and fought a re
striction that is, in his opinion,inimical
to the best interests of the Territory.
Sutherland is not, and never has
been against conservation, if conservat
embraces the industry sanely, but he is
against a vicious regulation that permits
a large concern to profit at the expense
of the small fry. He has thrown him
self unreservadly into a fight that should
awaken the admiration of everyone in
the Territory. He has been compelled
to fight insidiouspropoganda,the attack
of partisan newspapers and goverment
al red tape and official ignorance of the
true conditions.
Had Sutherland not had the wel
fare of the country at heart he would
never have carried his battle to the en
emy the way he did.
There is probably no more sincere
and able man in the territory today who
could be sent to Washing on: and the
voles undoubtedly will read Sutherland,
in case another man enters the race
against the delegati.
During the past month a certain
lady has had the not pleasant ex peri
ence of intoxicated men walking into
her house, excusing themselves and go
ing their way. It is certainly an u"
pleasant experience and in a town of
this size doors shouldn’t have to be
kept locke
Captain Hu brick wishes to an
nounce tluit next Saturday be
ing Derby Day he would like to

get a picture of every dog team
in town. Tne t*ams should be
out in the afternoon as the light
is better at that time. The pict
ures are to be sent outside fo” j
reprint in eastern papers. As
there are more dogs here than
in Nome, probably, the town by
this method would receive some
much needed advertising.

A smoker at the Bonanza last
Saturday was the occasion of fur

cision given.
