One of the reasons why The News
is supporting the candidacy of Dele
gate Dan Sutherland is because he
is an oldtimer of the Interior and
big enough and broad enough to
represent all of the districts ener
getically and fairly at Washington.
He is in fact, as The News has pre
viously pointed out, the most truly
representative delegate the Territory
has had at Washington and his rat
ing there is such that he has been
able to accomplish a great deal for
Alaska during the short time he has
been in office. The News believes he
has made good and that he should
be sent back to Washington to con
tinue his commendable work. There
is no assurance that either of the
candidates opposing Mr. Sutherland
would be able, if nominated and
elected, to do more for the Terri
tory than he has done or hopes to
do. Just what hr has lone in the
past and what his program is for
the future will be reviewed by Dele
gate Sutherland at a public meet
ing to be held in Xenana tomorrow
night at Union Hall. He will give a
complete accounting at that time, of
his stewardship of the Territory’s
interests and everyone should be
there to hear him.
In excluding aliens from employ
ment on the Government Railroad
project, the Alaskan Engineering
Commission is merely following a
course long established in other
countries. No one can question the
right of American citizens to have
preference in the matter of em
ployment on t strictly American
enterprise. The unfortunate phase
of the situation growing out of the
issuance of the anti-alien order is
the fact that action was taken with
out warning to the many former
employes of the commission, of fo
rengn citizenship who now find them
selves in debt through wait-ng fot
the work to be resum ad, with no
intimation that orders would b*- is
sued barring them from further
employment. It is a hardship upon
the men themselves and .pon those
who have extended credit to them
to assist them to tide over the long
season of unemployment. The proper
time to put such a rule -n force was
at the commencement of railroad
building activities.
Nenana may not rank first i the
Territory in the matter f ; emula
tion, but it leads the North ir real
sporting spirit. The enthusiastic and
very successful manner in >vhi«J»
the 1922 ice pool was put over will
attract much favorable ten;; >n to
this part of Alaska. The reacers of
all the Associated Press apers in
every section of the United States
are reading about the br’ik ip Us-.ic
today and with greater -'nteies:
probably than they could s- an the
usual sort of publicity matt it

JAMES L. GALEN
FOR
Delegate to Congress
IN
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
APRIL 25th. 1922
There is one vital issue presented to the voters at the Primary
Election, which is aside and should be considered apart from any
partisan or factional standpoint. It is “The operation and control
of the Government Railroad by private interests of Corporations”.
The “New Bill" which is now pending in Congress, authorizes
the Secretary of the Interior to lease the road to private interests
or corporations. Secretary Fall, who prepared the “New Bill”, says
that if given the authority to lease the road he will do so.
This bill is an “administration measure”. The administration is
committed against Government Ownership and operation of rail
roads and it makes no exception of the Government Railroad in
Alaska. Further than that, the “New Bill” proposes to concentrate
ail governmental power and authority in Alaska, heretofore ex
ercised by the various departments, in the hands of the Secretary
of tne Interior, making it one-man-rule.
To nominate and re-elect Dan Sutherland is the same as saying
to the administration and Mr. Fall that you favor the “New Bill”
with ail that it provides in the way of leasing the road to^ private
interests and the establishi"g of one-man-rule in Alaska.
If you believ in these things, vote for Dan Sutherland. r r he
is committed to the “New P'11”. If you oppose them, vot for
Jam.-s L. C..len, who is c ura Ated -gainst it.

she says that “next to my oversea
experience, this trip is the best thin
which has come my way in yean

month. Have never been uncomfon
able on the trail or in camp, an
( feel now as though I never wante

muda, the Thousand Isles, or wher
they will, but give me mine trave
