DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
In deciding to enter tne primaries as a candidate for Deles-ate tn
forHt Alaska’ 1 feel Spelled, to make a brief statement to the people of the
territory. It is now nearly a year since I was seated in the House as Alaska's
representative to congress. During the most of this time the United States
®ngaged ln a worId war, and every resource of the nation including
great war Tver v° mem b^V"® devotedJto ^single purpose of winning thi!
f,™, ’&T\ member of congress in considering legislation for the na
tion has placed the country’s war needs above all; needs and requirements and
has subordinated his desires to. the military establishment of the United States
.Alaska has responded nobly to the nation’s call. She has given her share
^ ^yAa,nflVn8 lnt£gly- ,When the Democratic party went^efore the peo
Ale of Alaska in November, 1916, it stood for a certain constructive
program which embodied as its principal elements a wider measure of
home rule for the territory, and a sane and rational policy In the develop
ment of natural resources and every possible aid to the pioneers of the coun
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress which I
am pressing for passage as opportunity affords:
domiSng prfncSe. ^ terrltorial form ot government with home rule the
Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair to all and
the^ protection of the salmon supply from depletion.
reservaUorf cnan®e? *n t*le homestead laws by abolishing the eighty rod
*.'.Al!thorizins free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
Changing the game laws so as to give the people a better opportunity to
use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
“Extending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska’s insane within the territory
.v, *At oU timeSJ 1 2*™ endeavored to keep constantly in mind the needs of
the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of the war some meas
ure or progress has been achieved. I have assisted in passing a law which
helped the prospector by suspending assessmen work on claims during the
years 1917 and 1918. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alas
ka has been accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
Recognition has been forced for Alaska in the matter of appointments to
the second series of training camps for officers. Contracts which prevented
the farmers of the interior from supplying army posts with their vegetables
are canceled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of Alaska have
come to me from Alaskans all over the territory. Reiterating my desire to
serve the best interests of Alaska I am submitting my name as a candidate
for the democratic nomination for Delegate to Congress.”
