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 by my
friends thruout the Territory that 1 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 anv political office during that period, 1 feel that
my knowledge of the various interests and needs ot
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.
1 believe in Alaskans holding all of the offices in th>_
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 w'ood pulp and paper industry ,
in securing appropriations sufficient for more and
adequate transportation and mail facilities; in provid
ing more aiid 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,
1 am. respectfully yours.
J. C. M’BRIDE,
Candidate for Republican National Committeeman.
The warm weather of the past
two days has caused all the snow
to disappear from the streets of
i Fairbanks, and vehicles of that town
are now on wheels, including the
fire department equipment.
That there is an epidemic of some
sort in Fairbanks has been demon
strated conclusively since Saturday
by the appearance of many new
cases of the strange malady, the
j exact nature of which the doctors
of the upper town are not yet fully
} in accord. Health Officer Suther
land and Dr. de la Verge express
ithe belief that it is a mild form of
flu, while Dr. M. S. Hall sticks to
the theory that the sickness was
caused by bad water or poisoned
food, especially in the case of those
men who were brought to town
from the creeks last week,
j There are now 49 cases under
treatment in Fairbanks, five of the
cases having developed since yes
terday. But all of the cases were
reported considerably improved at
noon today, the ailment having ap
parently yielded readily to treat
-ment. Up to yesterday the sick
ness was confined to creek people.
A number of cases are under
treatment at the hospital, the entire
top floor of the Nordale hotel is
being used as a temporary haspital.
'eight cases are being treated at the
Cosmopolitan hotel, and the rest
are quartered in private homes. The
doctors of the upper town are being
assisted by a number of former
nurses and the women of the town
generally, many of whom are look
ing after patients.

The doctors are somewhat reluct
ant to make known the names of
those who have been taken HI, but
The News has been informed of the
following cases: the entire X or bye
family of five, in Graehl; Dick (Wa
terfront) Brown, who assisted in the
treatment of other cases until he
became ill himself; Dan Callahan.
Tom Nerland, formery of Nenana.
and Ed Clausen and several mem
bers of his family.

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
which 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.

The most serious case is that of! £
John Fox, a resident of the creeks,
who left his home and went down
town for something to eat, with
the result that he now has pneu-1
monia. He was considerably better
today, however, and it is believed he
will recover.
Ben Hoerler, who was taken sick
while at work at Bridge Five and
who was one of the real sick ones
on Saturday, had a hemorrhage this ,
morning, but was considerably bet-'
ter at noon today. J. H. Groves
and Jesse Bryant, who were also
seriously ill on Saturday, are very
much better today. In fact. Dr.
Sutherland says, all the cases are
doing well, having yielded promptly
to treatment.
As a matter of precaution, the
quarantine established on Saturday
is still in force. The Fairbanks
school is closed today and crowds
are not permitted to gather at any
place. Travel also has been stopped
as far as possible. It was consid
ered doubtful this afternoon if the
regular -train for Xenana would be
sent down tomorrow, but in any
case, there will be no passengers
taken from the upper town.
The ailment, whatever it is, is not
accompanied by pain of any sort,
although breathing is somewhat con
gested. There are no pains in the
head, like the regular flu, and. with
the exception of the Hoerler case,
ihcre have been no hemorrhages. •
Those who contract the disease just g
seem to get weak as if they were j
overworked, and in two cases the J
men fainted at their work. The ^
sickness comes on very suddenly. 4
Dr. Hall went to the creeks again 4
4
today to attend to some eases which 4
are reported to have developed 4

there. 4

E. C. Howard, a prominent mining «
man and fur buyer, has leased Pat- i
J
tisan and High islands, near the
entrance to Kasaan bay, and pur
poses to establish a fur-raising en
terprise- He will specialize in mar
ten, as they are high priced and
the animals are said to thrive in a
dry climate. -
