POLITICS OR BUSINESS?
Politics is politics and businei
is business. The very name of pol
tics infects a real Alaskan wit
nausea.
The politics of Alaska is for pol
ticians. The business of Alaska 1
for every Alaskan business man o
otherwise, for the business of a
! Alaskans is to get somewhere an
I you can only get anywhere wort
j while along business lines.
When the Republican primarie
; were held their legislative tickc
; was ready in advance of it, coir
i posed of candidates who force
! themselves into the nominations bt
i cause they wanted to play politic;
j In many instances, if not all bette
men for Alaska were available i
; the Republican ranks for the office
| the politicians aspired to and claime
| and received the nomination for, bu
: business men and men who are will
ing to saefafice their time and bus
ness in the interests of thei
country will not mix in a disgrace
ful or belittling contest for office
for they know that office-holdin
with them would be at their owi
expense.
When the Democratic primarie
were held the Democrats were com
pelled to force nominations upoi
men, for they would have none bu
successful business or professiona
men or miners—and the miner ha
to be a business man if he is ;
successful miner.
Compare the men who offer ti
serve you at Juneau. Every Demo
cratic nominee is such a well known
business man that you know hi
qualifications offhand. Consider thei
opponents on the Republican ticket
and then decide whether your futuri
is contained in politics, or business
It will work no hardship upon ever;
Democratic candidate herein referre<
to if you elect him to stay at horn'
and attend to his own business. Th<
loss will be all yours. And as tha
noted Republican leader, Senato
Borah, said in his famous speech a
the Chicago convention:
“The party yoke sits lightly upoi
the shoulders of real men in thes<
days.”
The Democratic Platform, adopte,
at San Francisco, contains the fol
lowing declarations for Alaska:
“We commend the Democrati:
Administration for the inauguratioi
of a new policy as to Alaska, as evi
denced by the construction of th<
Alaska railroad and opening of thi
coal and oil fields of Alaska.
e declare for modifications o
the existing coal land leasing lav
to promote development, withou
disturbing features intended to pro
vent monopoly.
“We declare for such changes ir
the policy of forestry control as wil
permit immediate initiation of i,
great pulp paper industry.
“We declare for relieving the Ter
ritory from the evils of long dis
tance government by arbitrary anri
interlocking bureaucratic regula
tions, and to that end we urge
speedy passage of a law containing
the essential features of the Lane
Curry bill now pending co-ordinat
ing and consolidating all Federal
control of natural resources under
one department to be administered
by a non-partisan board permanent
ly resident in the Territory.
“We declare for the fullest meas
ure of Territorial self-government
with a view to ultimate statehood,
with jurisdiction over all matter
not of purely Federal nature, in
cluding fisheries and game and for
the intelligent administration of
Federal control. We believe all
