JUSTIN W. HARDING
-o
“Appointment by President Cool
idge of Justin W. Harding to the
United States judgeship of the First
Division of Alaska fills an important
position that has been vacant since
the death last spring of Thomas M.
Reed. An Oregon man was nomi
nated for the place soon after Judge
Reed’s demise, but objections by
Alaskans to a “carbetbagger” caused
the Senate to refuse confirmation.
“Mr. Harding went to Juneau
from Ohio last year to assume the
United States district attorneyship
of the First Division. His selection
for that office was approved by the
Ohio senators and liis confirmation
then encuntered no serious opposi
tion. Without doubt his promotion
will have Ohio support. In choosing
him the President has reduced by
at least a year, the effectiveness of
,‘carbetbag” criticism.”—Seattle P. I.
STILL A CARPETBAGGER
Justin W. Harding lias little else
beside his suitcase and trunks which
he brot with him from Oiho. what
has he invested in Alaska—a home?
even a shack? Where are the Sons
of Alaska? John W. Frame-up?
Jasky Schoettler and others who
last winter were yelling “Alaska
for Alaskans.”
