1 MARQUAM SPEECH
IT LIBERTY THEATER
The sixth and final installment of
Thos A. Marquam’s Independent can
didate for delegate to congress ad
dress, given at the Liberty theater
Saturday evening, follows:
“Just a few words about the Indian
question. You may wonder when I
talk about the Indian question how
you can be interested in that ques
tion. You are interested to just this
extent; if the people in Alaska are
not careful the Indians of Alaska will
be running your Territory, as they are
running some of the communities in
Southeastern Alaska today. Sitka is
run by an Indian council. Wrangell al
so, but there they have a population
of 150 whites and 225 Indians. Most
of them are so illiterate that they can
not even read the ballot that they
vote, and I wonder if you will believe
it, but the majority of their voting is
done by block voting. They have a
stencil cut, which just fits the ballot,
and all they have to do is to fit the
holes in the stencil over the proper
place on the ballot and make a mark
in the place provided. Of course all
the Indians are not of this type, some
are very highly educated, and grad
uates of Chiwawa Carlisle universi
ties, and they are perfectly able to
read their ballots but there is a large
percentage of these Indians of the old
er generation who can neither read
or write and who have not the slight

est conception of what they are doing.
“They want .to invade our Old Age
Pension fund and the Mother’s pen
sion. An appropriation for taking
care of the Indians is afforded them
by the government. This includes the
Bureau of Education’s work, schools
for the education of the native child
ren and the two orphanages at Eklut
na, and Dillingham. The motorship
Boxer which is devoted entirely to
carrying food and supplies to them,
a hospital boat on the Interior rivers,
their own doctors and nurses to care
for the sick, and yet with all this they
cannot understand why they should
not share in the white peoples places.
“I am for a fair illiteracy test that
will prevent this bloc voting in
Southeastern Alaska, and am a sup
porter of the White Bill which was
introduced into congress. Mr. Suth
erland objected to this bill but he rea
lized that his only salvation for re
election lies in the Indian vote.
_ “The Indian attorney Paul domin
ates Dan Sutherland policies. Wit
ness the bill of Sutherland’s passed
in June 1926, allowing the natives or
Indians from B. C., to come into the
United States and they would have
brought in many Indians from B. C.
to S. E. Alaska and thereby have
many Indian votes.
“Witness the awful publicity that
Alaska has had at the hands of the
press throughout the country, solely
because Dan Sutherland wanted to
get three people in the territory. I
have here a copy of the Hearst paper
and letter stating Sutherland gave au
thority for the publishing of the ar
ticle. What of the effect of such ad
vertising on people visiting the coun
try, and attitude of those living in the
States towards those living here? A
teacher in California asked a class to
bring some article about Alaska to
school when studying Alaska, and
all brought this article about Alaska
published by the Hearst papers.
Think of it!
“You may not like me but whether
you do or not, I want you to vote,
and no matter who you vote for, vote
for the man whom you may think will
do the most to help Alaska, for Alas
ka has been bled enough, and it is
time a stop was put to the bleeding.
“That is my platform! I thank you.”
POI ID SALMON ARE
HAWAIIAN'S BEST DISHES
HONOLULU, Oct. 19. (JP)—The
trouble with serving the Hawaiian
national dishes—poi and lomilomi
; salmon—in other parts of the world
is that few persons born outside the
Hawaiian islands like poi.
Poi however, is the Hawaiian stair
of life. Everything the old time Haw
i aiians eat is served as a side dish
to poi. It is a gray, paste like ma
terial, made by pounding the root of
the taro plant. It is eaten with the
fingers, and choice determines its
thickness. It may be of one-finger,
two-finger or three-finger consistency.
I The preparation of lomilomi salmon
is simple. Uncooked salt salmon is
picked into small bits. Chopped toma
toes and onions are added.
By no means are poi and lomijomi
salmon mixed. It is culinary sacri
lege in Hawaii to take poi other than
straight.

LOOKING AHEAD
Al&skan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities $nd worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can*be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is "Looking Ahead.”
