SUTHERLAND ON THE DEFENSIVE
Dan Sutherland, in his address last evening at the
Liberty theater, made two assertions which were absol
utely incorrect. First—that the “shyster journalists” of
Alaska had failed to relate in detail to their readers, ac
curate accounts of the stories appearing in the Hearst
papers, that one vital paragraph of his answer to the
charges of sponsoring the vicious article, was not publish
ed by the “shyster journalists.” The Gateway publish
ed his answer in full and so did every other large Alaska
newspaper. Second—that the law firm of Donohoe & Di
mond control Alaskan newspapers, his so-called opposi
tion in the present delegate race. The Gateway is not
controlled by any firm of lawyers, or dictated to by any
political faction, but is independently controlled by its
owners.
With the exception of the paper published by Wm. L.
Paul, the Indian attorney of Southeastern Alaska ex
changes received in The Gateway office all point to the
fact that every paper in Alaska has taken up the cudgel
against Sutherland and are doing everything in their
power to defeat him at the polls, November 2. That is
why the newspapers of Alaska of today are described as
“shyster journalists.” j
Playing upon the emotions of his audience, he arous- :
ed them to applaud his remarks on four occasions. But :
the large size crowd which had- flowed into the theater (
earlier in the evening gradually dwindled down as his ad-_
dress proceeded, so much so, that those remaining were
hard put at times to hear Mr. Sutherland.
rie took up a tew ot the issues of the campaign and
answered only those which he could answer, in any way
favorably. Why did he say he would pass over explain
ing the Pension and Relief bill? Why did he pass lightly
over the Road bill? Why did he neglect entirely to en
lighten his audience with respect to Dr. Clarence True
Wilson’s statement before the sub-committee of the judi
ciary committee of the United States Senate in open ses
sion. If he has at all times defended the good name of
Alaska why did he request the sub-committee to hear Dr.
Wilson. No need to repeat again what Dr. Wilson said
for every Alaskan who has the Territory at heart will
never forget those words of Dr. Wilson, who embraced,
not the Ketchikan and Bristol bay districts, but all Alaska.
HOW ABOUT IT, PIONEERS?
One of the most important questions to be decided by
the voters of Alaska in the election of November 2, is
whether the Alaska Pioneers' Home at Sitka, the Terri
torial Old Age Allowance System and Mothers' Pensions
shall remain intact in their present form or if they shall
be torn down.
It is the purpose of the Indian political organization
of Southeastern Alaska under the leadership of its attor
ney W. L. Paul, and allied politically with Delegate Dan
Sutherland, to force this issue and so confident are they of
success at the polls through the strength of the Indian ;
Alaska Native Brotherhood and Sisterhood, they have
openly proclaimed their intention.
For years the Indians have been receiving financial
and other aid from the Federal Government amounting to
several hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. In
1925 the Government appropriated a total of $570,895 for
its work among Alaska Indians and Eskimos. Appro
priations for white residents solely was: Pioneer Home,
$107,800 Mother's Pensions $35,000; Old Age Pensions'
$120,600. Each year ALL figures are increasing.
It cannot be strongly enough emphasized that it 1
would bankrupt the Territory if it were to undertake «
payment of pensions to Indians on an even basis with the
whites.
Providing Paul and Sutherland are successful, it
would be but a matter of time when all pensions in the
territory would cease.
Conceited guests are best. You need only sit and
listen.
(Continued from Page One)
read you the indictment printed in
the Anchorage Times on August 26,
and I am going to explain my posi
tion in regard to it:
“ ‘We believe the present incumbent
Mr. Dan A. Sutherland, to be unfitted
for the office and that a change is ne
cessary for the best interests of the
country as a whole.’
“Just what constitutes fitness, I do
not know, but I assure you that I am
in excellent health and fighting spirit.
I realize I was preceded in congress
by the able man, Judge Wickersham,
but I have never claimed his capacity
as a delegate. I do claim that my ef
forts have been directed along right
lines since I have been in Washing
ton.
“An eminent statesman once told
me to overlook chambers of com
merce and other organizations when
in doubt over a question, and look to
the rear to the people who have elect
ed me. Then figure what they would
have me do, and do it. Your reward
will be the assurance that you did
right. I have endeavored to follow
this advice since I have been in con
gress and I do not think my bitter
est enemies will say that I have ever
been dominated by any organization
or individual.
“Now for the second article in the
indictment: ‘We believe the present
incumbent has misrepresented Alaska
and contributed to the articles which
advertise us as lawless and corrupt.’
“The article referred to is one
which appeared in the Hearst papers
of March 28, 1926 and written by one
of the best-known correspondents in
Washington. It was printed in your
local paper. The article was based
entirely in official testimony based
entirely on official testimony present
ed before the committee of the judi-,
nary and senate, when hearings were
?iven the case of two Alaska judges.
A. paragraph in the article states,
Outside of Ketchikan and Bristol bay
ivhere large cannery operations are
carried on, the laws in Alaska are
rery "well observed.’ The article was
prepared from official records which
ire on file in my office. All of the
irticle is the truth and was brought
;o me in typewritten form by the wrrit
?r, to whom I suggested two minor
corrections.
“W. W. Coppernoll, U. S. attorney
vho has just returned to Cordova
:roni the Westward, having been ac
companied by District Judge E. E.
ititchie during the floating court ses
sion along the Alaska peninsula, says ■
he criminal element is not in evid- j
mce* in the Bristol bay section. There |
vere no murder, liquor or narcotic i
