Tune Ira., 1883. Attended schools
it Snohomishand Skagwav, Alaska.
After the death of his mother, he
~ame to Alaska with his father, ar- i
riving at Skagway in the early :
spring” of '98. ITis father died in
the fall of ’98 leaving him, a 15
year-old boy, to make his own way'
in the new Territory of Alaska. j
He has lived in some part of j
Alaska continuously since that time
(23 years), and the success with
ivhich “Bobby” has made his way
is well known to every bona fide
Alaskan. If j is rated today as one •
if the successful young businessmen !
if the Interior. He is a mechanical j
,‘iigineer by training and practical
experience; was engineer in charge
if the power plant for four years
Lit Skagway and held a similar po- i
sition for five years with the North- j

1913, and successfully operated it j
for six years.

er by popular vote in the fall of!
1918 for the Fourth Division and, j
by the efficient manner in which he !
has handled his office, and by the*
improved condition of the roads j
notwithstanding the fact that he!
has had to work under the handicap
of a strange new road law that
came into effect at the last session
of the legislature, he has amply
justified his election. He has cer
tainly made good at everything he!
has tackled thus far.
He has covered the greater part j
of the territory and considers he!
knows the country’s needs as well'
as any other man. He expects to re
main in Alaska and grow up with
the country and is therefore desir
ous of having a voice in the regu
lation of the country’s affairs; be
lieves in a full territorial form of
government and will support any |
legislation that is designed for the
benefit of the Territory as a whole,
no matter from what part it may ■
emanate.

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR REPRESENTATIVE
TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURE, FOURTH DIVISION
Representative: West Coast G-ocery Co. Love-Warren Monroe Co.
YOU’LL HAVE TO WRITE THE NAME ON THE BALLOT
Robert Joseph Diven was born
Dec. 8, 1869, on a farm near Kellys- ;
burg, Pa. Took grammar school
course in a rural school; taught two,
years in public schools before enter
ing college, beginning at the age of
seventeen; also taught six summer
terms of normal and college pre
paratory work- during his seven
years in college and seminary;
graduated from Grove City College.
Grove City, Pa., B. A. degree, in
1893, and from Auburn Theological
Seminary in 1896; was ordained to
the ministry in May. 1896; took the
three-year post-graduate course in
Political Economy immediately after
graduation from seminary; received
the honorary degree, D. D. from
his alma mater in 1910.
Throughout the years following
his ten years of student life he has
taken an active interest in economic
questions, speaking frequently and
writing occasionally.
DECLARATION: 1. The welfare
of the entire people is the tirst con
cern of all sound government.
2. Intelligent, constructive progress
ivism is democracy's hope and safe
ty. 3.Reactionary conservatism and
red radicalism are alike a menace
to all hopes of general and perma
nent betterment. The one fosters
the class distinctions it has ere ated,
and pretends to advance while turn- j
ing the wheels of progress back
ward ; the other pretends to see
Utopia emerging from the wreck
age it creates. 4. The American
public has the right to expect and
require statesmanship of its legis-!
Inters, and to rebuke such partisan
strife and political chicanery as !
characterized a number of events
an the floor of our Sixty-sixth
Congress. 5. The endorsement of
iny particular party is not in itself j
iufTicient warrant for the accept- j
jnce of any legislative measure ;
.vhatsoever; the measure should :
possess merit fitting the needs of the !
.•ase or be rejected regardless of '
larty origin. 6.The speedy restora- |
don to peace of a war debauche 1 ■
»nd impoverished world, thereby '
naking possible the resumption of
adequate production and the estab- !
lishing of fair industrial relation
ships at home as well as between
the now divided nations abroad, is
the present problem of premier im-!
portance nationally. 7. There is no
longer a question as to whether we
shall enter a league of nations or 1
not; the question now is, What kind
of league shall it be? The nation
should act quickly and clearly.
The same general principles ap-!
ply to Alaskan affairs as to affairs
national 1. I advocate the adminis- 1
tration of predominently Alaskan ;
affairs by citizens of Alaska. 2. The !
problems entering in our industries j
such as mining, fisheries, agricul
ture, coal mining, oil production,
reindeer, lumber, roads, transporta
tion and all manufacturing, should
be considered and provided for ac
cording to Alaska’s peculiar situa
tion and requirements; likewise our
schools, our game and our general
welfare. 3. If a majority of the
voters of the Fourth Division be
lieve that I can properly represent
the Division in the above office and
will say so at the polls on November
second, I will accept the proffered
trust and will covenant to give my
best thought and effort to any work
the office may require of me.

and finishing- high school, went to i
Boston and entered the Mass. Col- j
lege of Pharmacy from which he;
graduated in 1894. The following)
two years were spent in New Yolk
City where he was employed as pre-;
scription clerk in one of the promi-1
nent drug stores on Fifth avenue, i
Returned to Boston to enter the 1
hotel business, which he left to join I
the stampede to Dawson during the |
winter of 1897. The spring of '98 i
was spent on the Dyea and Skagway
trails; while at Ldke Bennett during!
August of that year, learned of the j
Atlin strike so joined the stampede
to that district, remaining there un
til the fall of 1899, then came to
Dawson “in a scow over the ice”;
mined on Bonanza and Eldorado
creeks and for a time followed the 1
drug business at the Forks (Bonan
za). Left Dawson in December,
1904 by the way of Circle for Fair
banks, where he has since resided,
with the exception of 1906 which
was spent on Cleary creek, where he
had the drug store and postoffice.
He has been active in the public
affairs of the town and was for four |

Now holds the long term appoint
ment on the Board of Regents of
the Alaska Agricultural College and
School of Mines; is an active mem

gress and the President of the Fair
banks Commercial club; also a mem
ber of its executive board.
Is pledged under oath to work
for the adoption of the six planks
pertaining to Alaska in the national
Democratic platform authorized by
the convention held at San Fran
cisco in July last.
At this time will not make what
is commonly termed pre-election
promises, but at all times will play
fair as between the interests of
Alaska and the people of the Fourth
Judicial Division whose confidence
and esteem he merits and who, if
Mr. Me Intosh is elected, will find
their confidence and esteem justified.
