CAMPAIGN ISSUES

At the Xenana Labor Union Hall
last night, George Grigsby, attorney
general of Alaska, delivered a speech
to a large audience of the voters
of this district. Long before the
appointed time quite a crowd of
people gathered at the hall, their
ranks being further agumented im
mediately after the conclusion of
the picture show.
United States Commissioner R. S.
McDonald presided, and in his open
ing address, said that Mr. Grigsby
was there to convince those assembled
with sound argument, why they:
should support the Democratic ad- j
ministration and Mr. Sulzer, who en
joyed the confidence and good will
of that administration. Mr. Mc
Donald eloquently pointed out the ’
difficulties besetting the administra-i
tion in the present great crisis and
the very able manner in which it
was handling and disposing of the
momentuous issues confronting it;
issues unparalled in their magnitude
: and scope, in the world's history.
, The eyes of the entire world, he
said, were riveted on our admini
stration, which also gained the un
qualified approval and commenda
! tions of the governments of the
civilized nations for the very able
: and complete way in which the diffi-l
; cult questions arising out of the j
world war were met and adequately]
disposed of. The governments of;
the other great world powers, he i
said, have had frequent upheavals
in their cabinets; and their economic
and political structures were fre
qently disorganized, but our ad
ministration, which was beating the
burden of the world and solving
some of the most difficult problems ■
that have sprung up in the memory j
of man, have continued the work]
without a hitch and with but two!
changes in the cabinet, due more j
to personal rather than to economic j
reasons. He referred to former!
Secretary o^ State Bryan and for
mer Secretary of War Garrison. The
present administration, he pointed j
out, endorsed Mr. Sulzer, who was,
also personally acquainted with and
enjoyed the confidence of the cab
inet officers and the President. This
fact alone, he thought, should be
a potent factor in determining the'
election of a fit and proper person
to represent this territory in the
councils of the nation,
i The commissioner then, in a few
words, introduced George W. Pen
nington, who is a candidate on the
Democratic ticket for a seat in the
lower house of the territorial legis
lature. Mr. Pennington’s speech was
very brief. He said that he hoped
to be able to address the voters
at some length a little later on, be
fore election. He was glad of the
visit of Mr. Grigsby, who very
clearly refuted the misstatements of:
Mr. Wickersham. Mr. Grigsby, he:
said, was a firm believer in the 8
hour law, and a warm advocate of
the movement to obtain government
help in gold production in the way
of a bonus. Mr. Grigsby also prom
ised to draft an eight-hour law that
will be honored in the courts of law.
Mr. McDonald then introduced
Mr. Nordale, one of the best known
men of the North, who is running
for territorial representative on the
Democratic ticket. In making the
introduction, the commissioner said
that like Mr. Pennington, Mr. Nor
dale was too well known to need
an introduction to a Northern au
I dience. Mr. Nordale came to the
North in the early days of the
Klondike boom and has stayed with
the country steadily ever since. He
knew Mr. Nordale to be progressive
in every possible way, absolutely
unselfish, and no man that he knew
of, he said, gave as much of his
time for the public good as Mr.
Nordale did.
Mr. Nordale, who was greeted
with cheers, commenced h'.s remarks
by saying that although it was cus
tomary for candidates for legislative
honors to define their policy and
outline what they would do if elected,
he would leave it to the voters who
supported him, who were all per
sonally known to him and who are
' the best judges as to what he would
really do. He said he had been
in the North for the past 23 years,
and had raised his family in the
North and expected to spend the
rest of this days in the North.
He was in the Fairbanks district
ever since the place had a begin
ning, and had always taken a keen
interest in the civic welfare of the
city. He was connected with the
Fairbanks Commercial club since its
inception and was its president for
six years of the seven years of its
existence.
The main purpose of the Fair
banks Commercial club, he said, was
to get better roads and trails in the
Fourth division, and consequently a
better mail service, and with this
purpose in view the Commercial
i club had sought the co-operation of
similar clubs in the territory and
the heads of the various departments
and bureaus in Washington, to whom
circular letters, setting forth the
needs of the division in detail, along
these lines, were sent. Mr. Nordale
told of how the Commercial club
sought to interest W'ickersham, who
was at that time our delegate to
Congress, and of having called on
him at his office in Fairbanks and
spoken to him on the subject and
discussed it for hours, at the end
of which time, he frankly said that
I he was no wiser than before. Wick
j ersham would not definitely specify
i whether or not he would support
| the scheme of the club at that time.
When again approached, some time
later, Wickersham, he said, promised
j to support them and stated that at
j the proper time he would introduce
a bill in Congress for an appropria
; tion for roads and trails. This was
; all the satisfaction they ever got
j from the ex-delegate.
Mr. Nordale then told in detail
of the obstructive tactics adopted
by W'ickersham to prevent an appro
priation being passed by Congress
for road work in Alaska on esti
mates furnished by Colonel Wilds
P. Richardson (now brigadier-gen
eral), just because he had had a
personal difference with that gentle
j man. Wickersham, he said was
j small enough to retard the progress
of the territory, the interests of
which he was pledged to serve to
the best of his ability, to vent Ivs
spite on a man he disliked on some
imaginary personal grounds. Alas
ka, he said, will enter upon a con
jstructive period after this war, and
'they needed a constructionist like
Sulzer in Congress, who was whole
! hearted in his work and was not
the sort of a man to allow his per
i sonal feelings to dictate the course
he should pursue in handling affairs
of vitai interest to the territory and
its people. It would be a calamity
he thought, to let an obstructionist
like Wiekersham was well krown
to be, to have any say in the affairs
of this territory.
Mr. Nordale then resumed his
i seat amid much applause,
i Commissioner McDonald next in
! troduced the speaker of the evening,
i Hon. George Grigsby, attomey-gen
• eral of Alaska, who, he said, he had
j known for the past 20 years, and
.with whom he served in the same
■ cavalry regiment during the Spanish
• American war. Mr. Grigsby’s high
! charcter for integrity and upright
| ness in all his dealings was well
j known, he said, and the proof of
] the confidence that reposed in Mr.
| Grigsby lay in the fact that two
| years ago, when he was a candidate
j for the position he now has the
I overwhelming vote over his two
opponents, who were also well
known legal men.
Mr. Grigsby, who was well re
ceived by the large audience, pre
j faced his remarks by thanking Mr.
I McDonald for the glowing tribute
paid him. As attorney general for
the territory, he said, he was the
attorney for the people of Alaska,
who were all his clients. He told
of his campaign two years ago and
the success he met with among the
voters of Alaska, both in his division
and the divisions he had never even
visited. He was “blowing his own
horn’’, he said, not because he was
running for office, but merely to
