SOME OBSERVATIONS
The languor that usually pervades
this community during this time of
the year is in a small measure miti
gated this section because of two very
peculiar though interesting manifes
tations now causing much laughing
commet. One is the Nugget’s frothing
support of the Jones candidacy and
the other Mr Gus Boltz's prepara
tions to farm in the rich and beauti
ful valley of Sunset Creek. Mr
Boltz’s reported plans are receiving
much attention from men of “large
affairs” in the Sunset Country, while
n Nome the Nugets flamboyant sput
terings in support of the Jones can
didacy develops a suspicion closely
akin to conviction that its itctnng
palm has agaiin closed on a bunch of
political ducats. If such is the case
then the Nugget Is still going true to
form and is still consistent w#ith its
traditional past.
There is, however, another aspect
that may be viewed from Mr Jones’
angle and it appears as a most inter
esting political phenomenon. We ob
serve that Mr Jones entered this con
test inspired with honest ambitions;
we take it for granted that he is a re
spected citizen of Ketchikan; that
he is a man of “excellent attain
ments” and might represent ably and
well this territory in the halls of
Congress. Why. then, should his can
didacy be damned by the support of i
the Nugget? Why does Nome’s rare i
journalistic bird, with hungry craw
and slimy beak perch upoq a candi
dacy that is reported as having the
support of labor. Why, may we ask
again, lis the candidacy of J. L. Jones
subject to the fetid breath of a
journalistic cuttlefish? Why the
tearful pleading in behalf of Jones’
candidacy, by erstwhile booze con
stables whose political fortunes were
engulfed in the recent wreck of a
counterfeit citizenship? Why the
marshaling of unscrupulous political
graveyard ghouls in support of a la
bor condidate? The answer to these
questions is clearly within the view
of all who have recently observed re
cent political manifestations of the
Wickites and shamites—the Griffs
and the Gaffs and the increasing mer
cenary propensites of Nome's jour
nalistic rag. When has labor ever
turned towards the portals of the
Nugget and solicited aid and comfort?
In the recent past, or harking back
to other days, has the organ of vini
fication and humbug concerned itself
with labor’s interests or labor's can
didates? We trow not. On the con
trary the ingratiating grin of the
“sole owner and proprietor" has al
ways been turned towards the glitter
ing peaks of Mount Mazuma. Al
ways fawning that thrift may follow
and promptly jumping the game when
the ducats are not forthcoming.
If Mr. J. L. Jones’ candidacy rests
upon such rotten fabric, through
out the Territory, as is here woven
together by self delegated sponsors
h. :, fall will h gr.r.i' indeed, while
he pursues the even tenor of hisway
in the "salubrious clime” of Ketchikan
and (in the ur >. and fascinating
lrnguafe of the uppei floor scribe)
“sleeps in the fancied security of
i, imcence” ho sirs./ cannot Know
‘hat the political guerrillas in this
neck of the woods, pretending ardent
support, are drawing a bar sinister
across his historic and honored
escutcheon and thus consign him to a
political grave “unwept, unhonored
and unsung.”
I^rom the meagre knowledge at
hand concerning Him we do not hes
itate to say that he deserves a better
fate. We have it on the word of one
Mr, Thomas Gaffney a man of large
affairs and a near neighbor of Mr
Gus Boltz of Sunset Creek that Mr.
J. L. Jones is a man of “excellent at
tainments’’ and “a vigorous antago
niskof corrupt politics.” Mr Gaffney
it is further reported, is quite famil
iar with the fine attributes of politi
cians. such as Mr Jones possesses,
having gained his valuable knowledge
some years ago while on the official
staff of a gentleman from New Bruns-1
wtick. Mr Gaffney’s sympathetic ar
dor. always overflowing towards the
“toiling masses," and his inatc mod
esty prevented him (probably) from
mentioning the interesting fact that
Mr. J. L. Jones acted as secretary of
a political organiration that support
ed Wick in last campaign.’ This in
cident is only mentioned to make
more clear Mr Gaffney’s very lucid de
scription of Mr Jones' very excellent
attainments. Moreover it also shows
that wise men sometimes change
their minds and political sinners
sometimes come to repentance.
*The political parrots now babbling
for the the virtues of J .L. Jones of
Ketchikan are the same birds wear
ing the same plumage, that (locked
to the support or a decoy candidate
in the last pnimaries. They care not
a tinkers Imprecation about Jones.
Neither would they contribute a brass
farthing towards the election of a
legitimate labor candidate. They are
guided solely by their selfish and per
verted appetites. Some of them have
a grudge to settle .others are grieved
because their great talents have not
been permitted to flare in high places
and the remainder have a secret pur
pose to further, which of couse is
known by the entire community.
And this political and “motley” crew
are now flying labors flag from their
mast-head hoping th\is to deceive un
til they come within striking distance.
So we say that Jones deserves a bet
ter fate than to be trussed like a fowl
and thrown overboard by a gang of
pirates whose real emblem is the
“Jolly Roger.” Adv.

A CHALLENGE
The Nugget has repeatedly insin
uated that George B. Grigsby is a
member of the machine gang, a
crook, a corporation man, etc., and
must be defeated. We challenge the
Nugget to get down to business and
make one specific charge against Mr.
Grigsby. Support your mudslinging
with facts. You can’t do it. Adv.
The Nugget appeals to the moral
issue involved in this campaign. Well,
the Nugget’s standard of morality is
on a par with the Russian rouble on
the Ney York Stock Exchange. Adv.
A political traitor is always for
