LABRADOR FISHING
HAS POOR SEASON
ST. JOHNS, N. F.—The Labrador
fishery, one of the principal branch
es of the Newfoundland cod fishery
industry, threatens to be very short
this year. The fish are shipped
direct from the coast to European

countries, mainly Portugal, Spain,
Italy and Greece, and very high
prices are obtained nowadays, vir
tually double the figures before the
war started.
The Labrador fishery of New
foundland has not in late years at
tained the same proportions as for
merly, when some twenty thousand
fisher folk, men, women and child
ren, migrated there every summer
for the fishing season, and the
catch in some years reached 250,000
quintals. A good season at present
would represent half these figures,
whereas the outlook just now is that
for the ten or twelve thousand
people engaged, not more than 50,
000 quintals will be obtained.
BIG CROWD HEARS
ADDRESS OF GRIGSBY
Immediately after the picture
show, at the Coliseum last night
Honorable George Grigsby, attorn-»y
general of Alaska, spoke to a large
gathering of Nenanaites in the in
terests of Delegate Charles A.Suiztr,
who is a candidate for re-election
to the office on the Democratic
ticket.
The speaker was introduced to
the audience by George W. Penning
ton, who in his opening remarks,
referred to a statement made by
Louis K. Pratt, who is running fo#
territorial senator on the Republi
can ticket, regarding the advisability
of the selection of lawye.T in the
territorial legislature, with whom he
ventured to disagree. Mr. Penning
ton was of the opinion that a few
cool-headed businessmen, if possible,
should be elected to keep an eye
on the lawyers. He then formally
presented Mr. Grigsby, who, he
said, would refute many misstate
ments of James Wickersham.
Mr. Grigsby, who was well re
ceived, commenced by saying that he
was an absolute stranger and was
in Nenana for the first time, in
fact, he was in the Fourth judicial
division for the first time. On land
ing at Nenana, he said he was
greeted by a gentleman whom he
had known twenty years ago and he
said that his experiences at other
towns in the Fourth division had
been similar, so that he did not
feel that he was an absolute stranger.
He had lived in Alaska continuously
for the past sixteen ' years he said,
and had at various times visited al-'
most every part of the great terri
tory, but had never been accorded
the pleasure of being able to visit
the Fourth division. He was elected
attorney-general for the territory
a couple of years ago and by virtue
of his office belonged to the so
called corrupt Democratic machine,
• which Mr. Wickersham and several
otners were at great pains to attack,
in and out of season, and by reason
of the fact that he was territorial
attorney-general and an integral part
of the corrupt Democratic machine,
he felt he has a sort of vested right
to feel at home in the various parts
of Alaska he had not visited hitherto.
He spoke of his campaign when
he ran for the office he holds at
present and of the splendid support
he had received from the people
' of the Fourth judicial division, at
tributing this to the fact that many
i Nomeites whom he had known, were
among the people in the towns in
the Fourth division, which had en
abled him to carry both Fairbanks
and Nenana, as well as several other
Fourth division towns. The reason
for thus recommending himself would
be apparent, he said, in the course
, of the remarks he intended to offer
i later on.
j Coming to the main features of
the purpose of his address to the
people of Nenana, he dwelt first
Ion the statement made by Wicker
sham that the House Committee on
Elections had, by unanimous vote,
decided that the election contest for
the delegateship had been won by
j Wickersham and that they had ac
cordingly given it to him. This
statement, Mr. Grigsby said, had
been telegraphed by Wickersham to
I several of the more important towns
where it had received more or less
i prominence in the press, notably the
I Nome Nugget, which was a Wick
ersham paper, and which had made
a big feature of it and had the
news on display prominently in the
; window of their office at Nome.
■ This paper, in commenting on the
I acti°n of the House Committee on
;on Elections as telegraphed to them
| by Wickersham on July 3rd, went
the length of saying that Sulzer had
been kicked out of Congress and
j that Wickersham would be duly
seated as soon as Congress, which
had then adjoftirned, reconvene.
Mr. Grigsby characterized this as
a deliberate misstatement, intended
to mislead the voters and said thai
he could not imagine why Wicker
sham had made such a statement
unless he thought that, in the more
remote precincts the statement would
remain unchallenged until after the
election, when the truth could do
him no harm. In refuting this state
ment of Wickersham’s, Mr. Grigsby
read two letters from prominent
congressmen who were members of
the House Committee on Elections.
The first letter he read was dated
August 24 and was written by Rep
resentative Albert F. Polk, of Dele
ware, to Delegate Sulzer. This letter
stated in unmistakeable terms that
the committee on eletcions had not
made its report on that date and
that it would make no report until
after election this fall, and the
writer, although on the committee,
did not know the nature of the re
port the committee would make. The
next letter read by Mr. Grigsby was
dated August 29, and was from Rep
resentative Benjamin F. Welty, of
Ohio to Delegate Sulzer, and was
| substantially of the same tenor as
Congressman Polk’s letter; and yet
Mr. Grigsby pointed out, Wicker
sham, as early as July 3rd had tele
graphed out to various parts of
Alaska that the committee on elec
tions had unanimously agreed that
he had fairly won the election and
that he had been given the delegate
ship.
Mr. Grigsby stated definitely
that such was not the case, and that
Sulzer was the delegate in fact and
that he had drawn the salary at
tached to the position.
Beyond making thy statement that
Wickersham had been “Caught with
the goods,” Mr. Grigsby refrained
from further comment on this par
ticular phase of Wickersham’s cam
paign propaganda, leaving it to the
intelligent puDiic to judge of the
statement on its merits after its
falsity had been proven.
Wickersham had stated at a
speech made in Chitina and other
places, that this was not a political
year and that it was a time when
party lines should not be drawn.
It was a momentuous time for the
Government and it behooved every
loyal American to eliminate party
politics and in a whole-hearted way
support the President and the ad
ministration. Mr. Grigsby said that
he was in perfect accord with Mr.
Wickersham regarding this and said
that he knew it to be a fact that it
was the disposition of the country
at large to drop politics. Repub
licans were not putting forward any
candidates for election if by so do
ing they would in any way hamper
the government in the prosecution
; of the war by putting in n w and
i untried men to help in the naviga
j ti°n of the ship of state, and Mr.
Grigsby thought, that if Wickersham
would only be consistent, this state
ment and attitude of his would be
the most powerful argument for the
retention of Delegate Sulzer, who
is favored by the President and the

administartion, as he has served dur
ing the trying times of war and
knew “the ropes”, so to speak.
He spoke at great length regard
ing the statement made by Wicker
sham that he was cheated out of the
election by a Democratic judge and
the corrupt Democratic machine, and
explained in detail the voting system
both as regards the old form of vot
ing by ballot, which is still favored
by Wickersham, and the new system
of secret vote, known as the Aus
tralian ballot. The old form gave
occasion for fraud, coercion, bribery
and intimidation of all those in
power and those interested knew just
how the voter was using his right;
whereas the use of the Australian
ballot system eliminated all the ob
jectionable features and made a
clean vote possible. Mr. Grigsby
explained the laws governing the
balloting system and the changes
- — ■_1_
brought about in the method of vot
ing and clearly pointed out the
dangers that encircled the use of
the old system and the difficulties
that confronted canvassing boards.
' In refuting Wickersham’s claim
that be was cheated out of the Dele
gateship, Mr. Grigsby read from the
records, the testimony given by sev
eral illiterate Aleuts at Afognak,
who had voted for Wickersham and
who did not now who they voted for
and apparently did not care; their
voting being controlled by a man
who first treated the voters to coffee
and cake and then made out their
ballots for them. These ballots were
afterwards thrown out on the advice
of Mr. Grigsby because they were
all made out in identically the same
way and were all type-written and ▼'
the votes cast for the same set of
candidates. He also read from the
