REV. 0. A. STILLMAN
DEPLORES USE DE
PERSONAL LETTER;
ATTACK MARQUAM
IS ATTEMPT TO_ INVOLVE SELF
AND CHURCH IN ALASKA
POLITICS
Rev. O. A. Stillman, pastor of North
ern Light Presbyterian church, at Ju
neau .deeply resents the publication
throughout the Territory of copies of
a personal letter which he received
from Dr. S. Hall Young. The follow
ing letter to The Gateway is self ex
planatory:
EDITOR OF THE GATEWAY:
It has been, brought to my attention
that there is being circulated in vari
ous parts of Alaska what purports to
be copies of a personal letter from Dr.
S. Hall Young to myself and the El
ders of the Northern Light Presby
terian church of Juneau, attacking the
character of Mr. Thomas Marquam
and his wife. As this letter contains
.’ 'bli-sh if I should see
fit, and as it is apparently being cir
culated without any comment which
would give a clue as to who is res
ponsible (gr.Jte circulation. iLgivei
the im pres ion that* I a nr ¥esp6n§ibl^
for its publication. In justice to my
self I ask you to publish this state
ment, which is being sent to every
newspaper in Alaska.
I did receive such a letter from Dr.
Young. It seems that other people re
ceived copies of this letter, for a few
days after I received it, and before
any other person than I had seen it,
I received a letter from a third party
requesting a copy of Dr. Young’s let
[ ter for publication. I not only refus
. ed to give out a copy of the letter, or
permission for its publication, but I
positively forbade the publication of
I this letter or any similar material
(with my name, or the name of the
[Northern Light Presbyterian church,
I appearing with it in any way, in case
| a copy of this letter had been receiv
j ed from its author, or from any other
source. I also wrote something of the
'same effect to Dr. Young. I have
shown this letter to but one person,
[who agreed with me that it ought not
to be circulated under any circum
i
stances. I have not given out this let
ter or a copy of it to any one, for pub
lication, or circulation, or for any
other purpose whatever. The copies
of. this letter being circulated have
not come from me in any way, and
such publication or circulation has
been absolutely without my knowl
edge or consent.
I am not supporting Mr. Marquam,
Mr. Sutherland, or any other person,
party or faction in the present cam
paign here in Alaska. On general
principals I deplore the use of such
matter as this letter contains as cam
paign material, regardless of its
truth or falsity. I most deeply resent
this attempt to involve myself and
the church I am serving with the for
tunes of any political candidate, and
most especially with the circulation,
of campaign material of this charac
ter.

Pastor Northern Light
i Presbyterian' Church.
