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, 1 desire to say that it was
only after repeated and urgent requests b\ 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 i in the opening up, and development of, <ul
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.

ICE POOL WINNER
10 GET INCREASE
t __
Those who are in charge of the
baseball consolation ice pool have
announced that the winner of the
j pool will receive sixty percent of
the pool, instead of half as original
ly announced. This, it is believed,
'will prove sufficiently attractive to
insure the rapid disposal of the re
i maining tickets, and will still leave
.sufficient for the needs of the base
ball committee, who plan to use the
| money for the improvement of the
(local hall park.
1 The pool will close on \\ ednesday
night of next week, at midnight.

returned to Xenana today from
Fairbanks, reports that the health
authorities of the upper town de
dared a quarantine in effect last
night, following the discovery of ten
cases of flu. The first action taken.
Brown says, was to stop the Re
publican rally which was scheduled
for last night, and later in the eve
ning notice was served on Thome s
picture show to suspend business
temporarily, as a means of prevent
ing the spread of the disease.

TO THE
Republican Voters
OF THE
Territory of Alaska
In aspiring to the position of National Committeeman and
asking for your endorsement at the coming primary election, I
feel that you are entitled to a declaration from me of the prin
ciples for which I stand and of the general policy to be observed
and followed in the event that it shall be my fortune to be your
choice.
Firstly: I stand for the primary law as the best means of
securing to the people of the Territory the opportunity of a free
and honest expression in the selection of candidates for office;
and I am unalterably opposed to any machine which shall tend
either directly or indirectly to undermine such law or to domi
nate the political affairs of the Territory.
Secondly: I believe in “Alaska for Alaskans," and that Fed
eral patronage belongs to bona fide residents, and pledge myself
to use the influence of the position to secure to its competent
and qualified Republican residents the appointment to such posi
tions; and I commend the proposition of securing to bona fide
residents of each division appointments to the Federal offices
therein.
Thirdly: I am in favor of a territorial form of government
wh»ch shall secure to the people through their legislature the
right to exercise all the powers of government that are usual
and customary, and have been accorded to other Territories in
the United States.
Fourthly: I endorse the eight-hour day and pledge my sup
port in behalf of such legislation as may tend to secure and pre
serve its benefits.
Fifthly: I pledge myself to use mv best endeavors in behalf
of all the people of the Territory, and to consult as fully as possi
ble their will and disposition in the matter of Federal appoint
ments and to endorse only those men whose qualifications and
character for honesty and integrity shall be a guarantee of effi
ciency in office.
