TO THE
Republican Voters
FOURTH DIVISION
OF ALASKA
In presenting myself to you and the voters of the
Territory of Alaska as a candidate for Republican
National Committeeman, I desire to say that it was
only after repeated and urgent requests by my
friends thruout the Territory that I consented to
place my name before you as a candidate.
Having lived continuously in Alaska for 22 years,
devoting my time to the mining, merchandising and
fishing interests of the Territory, and never having
held any political office during that period, I feel that
my knowledge of the various interests and needs of
the Territory will justify you in supporting my can
didacy for Republican National Committeeman by
your vote at the Primary Election to be held on
April 27, 1920.
I believe in Alaskans holding all of the offices in the
Territory;’in the opening up, and development of, all
the resources of the Territory in a just and fair man
ner to all concerned; in the absolute control of the
fisheries of Alaska by the people of Alaska; in the
establishment of the wood pulp and paper industry;
in securing appropriations sufficient for more and
adequate transportation and mail facilities; in provid
ing more and better aids to navigation, and the build
ing of trails and roads for developing new country
thruout the Territory.
I am not allied with, nor responsible to, any so-called
political faction in Alaska, and if elected Republican
National Committeeman I will recommend for office
only bona fide Alaskans and Republicans—being
guided by the wishes of the Republicans in each divi
sion as to the policy to be pursued.
Soliciting your earnest co-operation and support.
I am, respectfully yours,
J. C. M’BRIDE,
Candidate for Republican National Committeeman.

of Alaska salmon bought for the
army in 1918 were unfit for con

sumption, owing to the fish being in
a state of decomposition before
reaching the cannery.

The meeting opened by a short
address by Grand President Lynch,
'and committees were appointed.
The chief contention of the ses
jsion arose over the admission of
the Nome and Fairbanks delega
tions (both of which were instruct
ed against changing the qualification
provision).
These delegations failed to get in
in time for consideration by the
committee on credentials, which was
discharged before they arrived.
The result of a roll call vote was
the adoption of the amendment.
The second amendment, which had
also been made a special order of
business and placed at the head of
the calendar, the amendment re
pealing the designation of Juneau
as the place for holding the bienni
al meetings of the grand igloo, w-as
then passed by the same alignment
of votes on roll call.
The following grand igloo officers
were present and officiated in their
respective positions: Grand Presi
dent M. H. Lynch, Grand Secretary
Charles Kemp, Grand Treasurer I.
Bayles, Grand Historian J. W.
Frame, Grand Trustees Felix Brown
and Thomas Price.

sion.
