Harmony in Republican Party and Will
Not Consult Democrats About

JUNEAU, Aug. 21.— (Special to The Daily

To the voters of Alaska: In his opening cam
paign speech at the Coliseum theater at Juneau on
the 1 7th instant, Mr. Grigsby, the Democratic can
didate for delegate to congress, appealed to the
Republican voters in Alaska for support upon the
alleged grounds that he would work with the
Republican national committeeman for Alaska in
the matter of recommending Republicans for ap
pointment to territorial positions more agreeably
than Mr. Sutherland would; that harmony did not
prevail in the Republican party, and therefore
requested Republicans to vote for him instead of
his Republican opponent.
“I wish to state at this time that Mr. Suther
land, the Republican nominee for delegate to
congress, and myself, are in accord, and that per
fect harmony prevails. When Senator Harding
takes office as president of the United States of
America on March 4 next, no Democrat will be
consulted by myself regarding the distribution of
offices in Alaska.
“In repudiating this attempt of Mr. GrigsbyV
to create distrust and dissension in the Republican
party and to cast doubt on my loyalty to my party
and my duty to support its candidates, I most
earnestly appeal to all Republicans and other good
citizens in Alaska to rally around Mr. Sutherland
and all other Republican candidates and give him
and all of them such a large majority as will dem
onstrate the loyalty of the people of our territory
to Harding, Coolidge, Americanism and good gov
ernment.**
