POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENTS
i
TO THE VOTERS OF NOME?
In entering my name in the con- ^
test for Mayor, notwithstanding
reports to the contrary, I assure
the public that I am prompted by
no other motive than that of serv
ing the interests of the city at large,
faithfully and well.
I pledge myself if elected to that
^office to give of my time freely to
the performance of the duties shall
he incumbent unon me, to the best
of my ability. Not intending at this
time to enter into details, and mak
ing no promises which I might not,
perhaps, be able to fulfil, I shall
mention at this time five planks
which I shall endeavor to uphold:
First: 1 believe in maintaining
the Fire Department at its highest
efficiency.
Second: I shall do all in my
power to enforce a Just taxation
system, so that the common people
of Nome may be taxed only in pro
portion to the value of their hold
ings and be upon the same plane
in this respect as any corporation
and business concern, without un
due excesses in favor of the latter.
Thirdly. When the dry law goes
into effect I will do my utmost to
enforce its spirit and letter within
the municipality of Nome.
Fourthly: I sincerely believe that
the residents of the Sandspit are
entitled to a foot bridge across
Snake River.
And finally I believe in the highest
efficeney in our Public Schools.
I appeal to no Eskimo vote foi
my support, but trusting to the in
telligence of the citizens of Nome
to weigh their suffrages. I remain,
Respectfully
HENRY PETERSEN.

TO THE VOTERS -OF NOME!
At the solicitation of my friends,,
I have decided to be a candidate
for Councilman at the Election. to
be held April 3, 1917. I have been
in Alaska since 1897. my home has
been permanently located in Nome
since 1901 and my family has been
reared here. I have always taken
an active interest in public affairs.
I have made no promises or pledges,
and if elected I shall work for the
best interest of the people of Nome
without fear or favor. I believe
that work done for the City should
be let out on contract.

SEATTLE, April 1.—The de
fense in the Everett cases will begin
on Monday the state having rested

where the first shot was fired from,
has been differently sworn to by
different witnesses.

TO THE VOTERS OF NOME!
I am a candidate for Mayor be
cause I was led to believe, by the ac
tion of the Mass-Meeting recently
held, that there was a popular de
mand for my services and not be
oattse I • personalty' aspirfed to the
office, or because I had an axe to
grind, or because I was the "tool”
or "goat” of any clique or faction.
I have no enemies to punish, nor
friends to reward. I have made no
anti-election promises or pledges,
except that I have pledged myself,
and do now pledge myself, if elected,
to exert what power and influence
I have to enforce the laws and or
dinances: to equalize assessments
according to the actual value ot
property; to enforce the payment ot
taxes; to practice economy and to
secure the greatest efficiency in all
branches of the public service.
1 am in favor of municipal own
ership of all public utilities and im
provements whenever feasible, but
will not lend myself to promise
what I cannot keep or accomplish,
in order to catch votes.
x am not in favor of a volunteer
Fire Department to the exclusion ot
a public and salaried department.
“Safety First’’!
I am in accord with the article
published in Saturday’s Nugget in
regard to Eskimos voting. I de
I plore any effort to secure such vote
in the pending election, and I dis
claim all connection with such
effort.
If elected I will to the best of my
ability perform the duties of the
office without fear, favor or reward,
or the hope of reward.
I recognize that the office of mayor
is one of honor, trust, confidence
and influence rather than one ot
large or numerous powers. The
principal powers are vested in the
Common Council.
My influence, in or out of office,
1 will ever be exerted to extend and
preserve the fair name and fame
' of Nome. I shall continue to con
tribute my mite to the means neces
sary to secure the health, welfare
. and prosperity of the community.
