tev3 of legislation needed. Saw no
reason for voting Rustgard out of
office just to get in another man
Rustgard’s record speaks of itself
aDd as a man his character was
above criticism. If elected he will
serve the people.
ALBRECHT
Geo. Albrecht is a progressive
Republican from Fairbanks who
aogrees to support Delegate Suther
laud in the selection of clean, fair
minded, responsible men to office.
ALDRICH
Frank Aldrich has a fine record
but lacked educationally to qualify
him to hold the office of National
Committeeman of the Republican
Party. His record puts him forth
as a staunch progressive and a

I friend of Alaska to his own hurt.
After being defeated in the last
primaries he was asked by the Road
Commission if he were going to
support Sutherland. He said he
would as he had gone Into
the primaries in good faith and had
lost out and saw no reason for not
supporting Dan. Aldrich who was
promised work under the Bureau
of Roads did not get that job for
having kept the faith of his party.
Ala3kans who keep the faith with
the electorate of Alaska are perse
cuted by the bureaus and punished
for their zeal and honesty.
LATHROP
Lathrop waa severely scored for
the part he played In the last elec
tion when he came out as an “in
dependent” and opposed the Re
publican ticket and now comes forth
asking support from Republican vot
ers. That he gave full support to
furthering the candidacy of Tom
Marquam which alone should con
demn him. His pa3t political align
ment has not changed and there is
no reason to believe that he will
give the Territory any sort of deai
that will be other than his record
of past preferment which would
mean the continuation of the Fed
eral machine.
CASWELL
William Caswell, running for
delegate to Republican National
Convention is an old Alaskan. He
is a fine clean gentleman but he
has a boss—A1 White, Federal Mar
shal. He is bound to do all for
White as a faver and Mr. Paul does
not believe that i3 legitimate rea
son for election. Furthermore he
is for the “administration candi

date.’ That further disqualifies
him for we want to elect a man to
support “Alaska’s candidate” and
not the candidate of a machine
4000 miles from Alaska.
DR. WM. H. CHASE
Dr. Chase is from the 3rd, Divi
sion, Cordova, a friend of both
Delegate Sutherland and Judge
Wickersham and is under no obli
gations to any one. His record in
the past i3 clear and staunch and
Alaska will not be misrepresented
nt the National Convention.
GUS GELLE8
Gus Gelles is a travelling sales
man who i3 boosting Herbert Hoover
for President. Insofar as Alaska
is concerned that is enough. We
want nothing of Hoover nor Gus
Gelles.
PRATT
Mr. Pratt also running on the
Republican ticket delegate to the
National Convention i3 the father
of Senator Pratt of the last legis
lature. Senator Pratt is a democrat
and the father a “republican” and
they thereby hope to straddle the
fence and stay in the game, playing
both ends to the middle.
JAMES WICK E IIS HA M
Judge Wickersham needs no in
troduction to the voters of Alaska
His lecord in Congress has two out
standing measures—the Ala3ka
Railroad and the organizing of the
Territorial legislature. No better
friend of Alaska can be shown than
this man on his record. He defeat
ed the infamous “Alexander Bill’
(giving title to trap sites) in Con
gress by talking it to death in a
five hour talk.
A vote for James Wickersham
will not be placed wrongly.
SENATORS
CHAS. BENJAMIN
Benjamin’s record in the House
was one of constructive and fair
thinking. He cannot be acccused
of being dominated and dictated to
by anyone. Opposing Benjamin is
Senator Hunt, now 7 4 years old
which really disqualifies him as he
is not as quick in thought or action
as one should be in the legislature.
He introduced the memorial thank
ing President Harding for appoint
ing Governor Scott C. Bone at a
time when Alaska was fighting
Bone.
C. T. GARDNER
Called on the Bank of Petersburg,
the Petersburg Press locally and
the Forest Service in Ketchikan.
He cited an instance of Gardner’s
bureaucratic mind. A Mr. Johnson
discovered a fine area of timber and
asked Gardner for a permit to log.
Gardner declared a survey necessary
by a ranger but advised Johnson to
go on with his work. Johnson spent
over a hundred dollars cruising the
timber when Gardner advised him
do permit would be allowed because
the Bureau was going to watch the
rate of growth and waste of timber
in Alaska. He was very sorry but
it was a new policy adopted, by the ;
department. But two months later 1
Sawyer-McKay was logging the tim
ber and Gardner braggs of his
membership in the Sawyer-Reynolds
Logging Company.
PAT GELDEA
Secretary of the Alaska Fish
Commission who believes not in ^
elective commission but “appointive” <
commissions. During four years of t
sc HU,
membership in this coinmission not
one word of constructive thought
was uttered by him.
J. B. JOHNSON
Has the support of Carl Strong.
J. C. Barber and other reactionary
“Republicans" who were "independ
ents" two years ago.
NOLAND
Juneau man, but is now travelling
with Gardner. Judging from his
company refuses support him and
being employee of a public utility
ard depending on his job it is un
believeable that he would be pro
gressively independent.
OWN RECORD
Speaking of his own record in
legislature Mr. Paul called attention
to several bills of constructive
thought and effort. Bill No. 9 was
one that corrected a wrong condition
—the burning of $10 worth of lum
ber on the beach was a felony and
this was changed to a misdemeanor.
SCHOOL BILL
Passed the House in form present
ed by Mr. Paul, as endorsed by the
several P.-T. A’s of the Territory.
Wss opposed by Commissioner Hend
erson whose influence in the Senate
changed it to the form which was
of no benefit to Petersburg. As the
bill was amended in the Senate it
had to be rejected by the House or
the amendment accepted. Rathei
than hurt all the other towns the
amendments carried.
SYSTEM OF TAXATION WRONG
The whole opposition to change
of taxing system may be laid to the
doers of the canning, transportation
system, banks and to the press of
the Territory. A fair tax based
on red3—50 cents per case would
raise the revenue to approximately
$?,000,000 per annum. The tax on
pink salmon now being all that the
traffic will bear and out of propor
tion with the tax on reds or the
tax on mines. He showed that the
Alaska Consolidated Canneries oper
ated at a loss of $130,000 last year
but had to pay a tax of $90,0000
while the Kennecott corporation
paid a tax of $68,000 on a return
of $4 and a half million dollars.
The effort to raaise the tax to 5
per cent was opposed by Sumner
Smith but he agreed to permit ft
raise ta 3 per cent but when the
measure was presented he voted
against it ,and defeated the
tax system. But Smith was chased
out of the country for having com
promised his vote and agreeing to
any change even if he did not live
up to his promises. It was shown
in the talk that Montana has a tax
revenue of $2,000,000 and operates
on that amount and without a
doubt Alaska can be run on Its
taxes if run properly.
Mr. Paul believed that from its
tax revenues the territory should
bu’ld its schools and the committee
should not be burdened with this
expense. He showed on the record
nis support of an industrial insur
ance act which would benefit capital
and labor and put the matter on a
fair basis.
