MUST ELECT REPUBLICANS
In a lengthy editorial under the cap
tion of “Political Duty—Our View
point,” the Ketchikan Chronicle, polit
ically independent, has come out flat
footed in favor of the principles Of
the Republican party. The following
excerpts are taken from the article:
“Ten months hence will be held the
national election, as well as that of
the territory. Periodicals of world
wide circulation are devoting much at
tention to prospective issues, persons,
personalities and personages. At no
time in the history of the United
States has there been more attention
or interest so far in advance of elec
tion as this year, the reason being
that the nation is facing issues of as
great or greater moment than those
which confronted Benjamin Franklin,
Cteorge Washington, Thomas Jeffer
son and those other far-seeing patri
ots whc laid the foundation of the
great Union.
> “There is much ado about labor par
ties, independent parties, conditions
and what not, but when November
rolls around the fight will have dwin
dled to two, the same old two antag
onists, Republicans and Democrats.
And at this early date it appears that
the issues will be more clearly cut
than at any time since the McKinley
Bryan campaign of 1896.
“Taking the precedents of former
years, the situation that confronts the
•ountry, the trend of the times, there
seems little doubt that the Repub
lican party will be successful at the
polls in the coming presidential elec
tion, regardless of whom the candi
date may be. And for the peace of
mind of the masses, it may be as well
to have the change.
"The opinion of the average inde
pendent citizen today seems to be that
the Democratic administration has not
so conducted itself as to warrant its
retention in power, despite some of
the very excellent legislation enacted
during the first four years of Presi
dent Wilson’s term.
me average AiasKan neeu go no
farther than the territory to observe
the wasteful expenditure of public
money. All that is necessary is to
consider the manner and the amount
•f money spent on the government rail
road construction work; and the
funds magnanimously but unwisely
disbursed through the office of the
governor. True, it might have been
as bad had some other administration
been in, but the fact remains that it
was the present administration that,
actually committed the offense.
“These are but small items when
considered in comparison with the
railroads, the shipyards, the aviation
fizzle and others. And they are the
things, coupled with the high cost of
living, that are going to cause a change
of parties in power. That seems cer
tain now.
“Such being the case, that the Re
publicans are going to win the elec
tion in all probability, the questior
bow arises as to the duty of the peo
pie of Alaska.
“It is plain and easily answered
Alaska must undertake to elect whai
•fficials it is within its power to elect
who will be in sympathy and harmonj
with the national administration. I
Bsust send a delegate to congress elect
ed on the Republican ticket, it mus
elect a Republican legislature whicl
will be in sympathy and harmony
with the governor, who will be Re
publican. It must see to it that thi
Republican party elects a nationa
committeeman who will be in turn
with the national administration ti
the fullest degree, who will follow th<
wishes of the party as to the mei
to be recommended for appointive of
fices.
“These are the duties of ^.laskans as
they appear at this time. The Ketchi
kan Alaska Chronicle announced its
independence politically when it
started publication. It still maintains
its independence and will continue
to do so, looking only to the best in
terests of the territory and the town.
But it does believe, as an indepen
dent newspaper, that it will be to the
best interest of all the people to put
in power Republican officials, and to
that end it will lend its endeavor and
utmost support for the election of
1920.”
