TO SECURE NEWS FROM SEWARD
f
--- !
(Seward Gateway, Jan. 21).
* They are playing politics at An
chorage. This morning the Gateway
received a long distance call from An
chorage advising that the Republicans
^ at the meeting last Sunday, han en
dorsed Heckman for national commit
teeman by a vote of 45 to 44, turning
Charles E. Herron down, and also that
at the meeting last Sunday, had en
dorsed for delegate to Congress. The
party calling also asked for informa
tion about the reported withdrawal of
Heckman, stating that no information
had been published in the newspaper
at that place and that no mention had
been made of the Republican meeting
there held last Sunday. The Gateway
is always glad to give the real facts
no matter whether Republican or
Democratic.

EDITION OF SEWARD PAPER
IS ORDERED PRINTED FOR
ANCHORAGE SUBSCRIBERS
(Seward Gateway, Jan. 22.)
The game of politics at Anchorage
,► has assumed a new phase according to
advices received by the Gateway. One
hundred copies of the Gateway of yes
terdays’ edition were ordered during
the afternoon but the form had been
"broken up”. So today, that the Re
publicans at Anchorage may know
what is transpiring, the Gateway is
picking up the politics from the last
* issues and running it all together and
these copies will be sent to Anchorage
by express on Saturday’s train.
According to the various long dis
tance telephone advices from Anchor
age, the newspaper at that place has
not been printing the news, especial
ly regarding politics sent out from
other cities or carried by the Asso
ciated Press. The newspaper at!
Anchorage has not even mentioned,
according to the telephone advices,
anything about the Republican club
meeting there last Sunday. Of course
at that meeting the Republicans turn
ed down Charles E. Herron and en
dorsed J. R. Heckman for national
committeeman. Now that Heckman
has withdrawn, and the Anchorage
Republicans did not know that until
Informed by telephone from Sewrard,
it is stated that the Republicons at
Anchorage will endorse Charles E.
* Herron.
The Gateway now1- makes this state
ment: Anchorage Republicans, or in
fact any organization in Alaska, can
always secure articles in the Gateway,
provided these articles are pure newrs,
*igned by responsible men or officers,
and are, not personal attacks. The
Gateway prints the new's as it comes
up in Seward, politics included, whe
ther Democratic or Republican, and
will do the same for any other com
r-" ~=rr
munity where organizations are notj
I
able to secure publication.
ANCHORAGE TIMES SAYS
MEETING REJECTING HERRON
WAS NOT REPRESENTATIVE
(Anchorage Times, Jan. 22)
It is a significant fact that Senator
J. R. Heckman, now visiting in San
Francisco, should advise his cam
paign manager at Ketchikan of his
decision relative to the office of na
tional committeeman on Saturday,
January 17. Last Sunday was Janu
ary 18. The Times has been criti
cised for not mentioning the gather
ing of the clan in Anchorage last Sun
day. This is to be expected. It is a
man’s prerogative to criticise, whether
he be a republican, socialist, mug
wump, Presbyterian, or even a fisher
man.
But at the same time we. also re
serve the prerogative right to do or
not to do. We are positive in our
own minds that Sunday’s meeting was
not representative republican, neither
was it democratic! This is our right
of belief, which we enjoy to the ut
most.
We do not question the sauce of
the pudding, the temperature of a
building or the testimony of a client.
This is none of our business, and vice
versa. True, The Times will probably
lose some valued advertiser, some
equally valued subscribers, but to the
end we expect to continue on this
same policy of silence or expression
as we see fit; The other fellow has
the same privilege.
With all of the accredited sins, The
Times has never professed infallibili
ty. This at least we do not have to
answer for. He is yet to come who
can please everyone. It can’t be done.
I -— 1 " I
But The Times can and will struggle
along under the serious handicap of
lost and gone advertisers and lost sub
scribers glorying in the pleasure of
knowing that the other fellow can al
ways borrow a paper from his neigh
bor.

SMALL REPUBLICAN CLIQUE
ENDORSED HERRON AFTER
HECKMAN HAD RETIRED
When the announcement was finally
made in Anchorage that Heckman had
withdrawn as a candidate for national
committeeman, it is said that twelve
of the fourteen Republicans who are
supporting Herron gave him an en
dorsement for committeeman which
the regular Republican Club, had re
fused him.
EX-SERVICE MEN ARE
ENTITLED TO BONUSES
Private E. N. Cole, Seattle ex-sol
dier, who was wounded overseas, does
not agree with the statement of Capt.
W. B. George, Jr., of Montana, that
the ex-service man does not want
some financial reward for his service
to his country. Capt. George said that
a slap on the back and a hearty hand
shake was all the ex-soldier wanted.
“Ex-service men are entitled to
bonuses.” said Cole. “Some officers
who have been drawing good pay may
have a different view, but the miser
ably paid privates do not feel that
they have received adequate remuner
ation.
“Wisconsin and Rhode Island have
given soldiers $10 bonuses for each
month they were in the service and
Massachusetts and Minnesota $15 and
the so-called Bolshevik state of South
Dakota $25.
“Washington state has given us
nothing but advice and hot air. Many
ex-soldiers vare actually in want and
unable to get jobs.”

of Stewart river, which has been a
conspicuous landmark ever since the
days of ’98 was totally destroyed by
fire recently.

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns tkan you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States,
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
