Ruby, Alaska. Aug. 5, 1922
To the Voters:
I am Independent Candidate
for the Alaska Senate, long term;
and as such would say, regarding
my qualifications for that position:
That I was born in the state of
Ohio; am a graduate of the Denver
Law School; was admitted to the bar
by the Supreme Court of Colorado
in 1897: I served in the
Spanish American War; and was the
chairman of the Ruby Induction
Board during theWorld War; was a
member of the Alaska Legislature
in 1919; and was postmaster of
Ruby. Alaska, over four years; and
for the past four years have been
prospecting most of the time.
I have traveled the rocky road of
adversity, as a farm laborer,
clerk, prospector, miner, and a
lawyer.
I do not claim that if elected,
to be able to cure and correct all
the political evils of the day; nor
do I believe in the political
buncombe of making all kinds of
promises before election and then
breaking them after election.
The following is a brief state
ment of some of the principles that
I believe in, to-wit:
1. Blot out all political buncombe
and work for progressive reform-.
2. Conduct public affairs accord
ing to good business principals.
3. Let us have a few good, plain,
common-sense laws.
4. Practice public economy and
cut out governmerft extravagance
and waste.
5. Good roads and as many as
public expenditure can afford to
build.
6. Good schools; give every child
at least a primary education.
7. Efficient mail service, includ
ing the prompt delivery of all en
route mails.
8. Government operation of the
Alaska Railroad.
9. Government operation of effi
cient water transportation making
connection with the Alaska Rai’
road, thereby giving the people the
benefit of better service and cheap
er freight rates.
If elected I shall, insofar as I
may be able, work for the enactment
of laws in accordance with the
above stated principles.
Yours truly
JOHN W. DUNN
(Adv. by Dunp Campaign Com.)
