AUTOCRACY VS. ALASKA
U*" ——————— —
It is not so much Tom Marquam against Dan Suther
land as autocracy against Alaska that patriotic Alaskans
will consider in voting at the coming election for delegate
to Congress. Both candidates are oldtime residents of the
Territory and both are well known from Nome to Hyder.
Both are good men morally. Both are law-abiding and re
spectable. But there is a mighty difference in their atti
tude toward Alaska and Alaskans. Marquam is an Alaska
booster. As mayor many times of his home town, Fair
banks, and as present head of the chamber of commerce
of his home town he has ever boosted for his town and for
the Territory and is still boosting. He believes that Alaska
is in many respects, the favored portion of God's footstool
and that Alaskans are the best people on that footstool.
He is an Alaskan first, last and all the time.
But how about Sutherland? From whom was the infor
mation on which the slanders uttered by the Hearst pub
lications a few months ago obtained if not from Suther
land? From whom did Dr. Clarence True Wilson obtain
the information on which he based the charges that Alas
ka was the most wicked, vile and immoral place on earth
if not from Dan Sutherland? If Dan did not supply the
information, why did he not refute the charges? The rea
son is obvious.
Sutherland resented the fact of numerous Federal offi
cials of Alaska, notably Judges Reed and Ritchie, United
States Attorney Shoup and others were loyal to the Cool
idge administartion and declined to join with his, Suther
land, in opposing it. He being Alaska's delegate to Con
gress, he demanded that administration join with him in
his opposition to the administration. They refused to do
so and for so refusing they were excortiated as failing to
enforce the laws, and the unfortunate, untrue and mali
cious slanders then heralded over the entire nation will
remain as a blot on the fair name of Alaska when the boys
and girls of today are the men and women of the Alaska
of the future. Dan could not rule hence rhe undertook to
ruin.
To those who are in Alaska but temporarily it makes
little or no difference who or what stamp of men repre
sents her in the National congress. But to those who are
here for permanent residence, those who are rearing sons
and daughters who will be here when their pioneer fath
ers and mothers are dead and gone, the question of who
and what stamp of man shall represent them in Congress
is a vital one. Shall that representative be the Alaskan
who loves the North with all the ardor of a loyal heart, or
shall it be one who, though a long-time resident of Alaska,
joins with and aids her traducers in a campaign of cal
umny and vituperation in which her fair name is dragged
in the mire and in which she is tagged as the most wicked
vile and immoral place on earth?
The voter, man or woman, who is the parent of a child
or children born in or living in Alaska, or the voter, man
or woman, who expects to continue to reside in Alaska, is
respectfully urged to consider the merits of the respective
candidates for delegate to Congress before aligning him
self or herself with either of them.
