SENATOR
Next to the question of Delegate the office of Terri
torial Senator is the most important at the coming elec
tion. The candidates for this office are Anthony J. Di
mond, Democrat, of Valdez and Arthur Frame, Republi
can, of Anchorage.
Anthony J. Dimond is running for re-election and is
basing his campaign solely upon his record in the last two
legislatures. A survey of Mr. Dimond’s record shows him
to have introduced and supported much constructive leg
islation. A lawyer of considerable ability, he has been
one of the outstanding figures in the legislature. His op
ponents have been unable to point to any act of his, which
they may criticise but have raised the old worn-out cry of
“God and Mammon.” If they are honest with themselves
they must admit he has been a wise and constructive leg
islator. A list of such constructive legislation which Mr.
Dimond supported includes the following:
1. Bill giving fishermen and employes at fishing plants
liens on plant and output for wages.
2. Bill extending jury duty to women.
3. Bill allowing court to make an equitable distribu;
tion of property between husband and wife in divorce
proceedings.
4. Bill increasing rate of compensation provided by
the Workman's Compensation Act of 1915 and extending
benefits to practically all employments and industries.
5. Bill requiring employers to furnish hospital and
medical service for injured employees.
6. Bill providing for trial by jury in contempt cases.
7. Bill placing bounty on eagles.
8. Bill permitting wife to convey her property with
out husband joining in conveyances.
9. Memorial to congress for granting homesteads to
Alaska! soldiers, sailors and marines of the World War.
10. The “Stone Memorial” denouncing the unfavor
able publicity given Alaska to the effect that “Alaska is a
very bad spot with no respect for law enforcement.”
11. Literacy Bill.
12. Bill providing for quick and inexpensive settle
ment of small estates.
id. budget Law tor territorial expenditures.
14. Memorial protesting against creation of fisheries
reserves by the administration.
15. Bill for support of Pioneers Home and old age pen
sion.
16. Bills for appropriation for public schools and Alas
ka college.
17. The Dimond Jury Law, preventing hand picked
juries for trial of criminal cases.
Any fair minded voter who will consider the above
record will see that the criticism made of Mr. Dimond
that he is also a corporation lawyer and cannot serve pub
lic interest is unfounded and biased. The record of facts
speak for themselves. Every bill above mentioned has
been for the public welfare. The fact that Mr. Dimond
is a corporation lawyer only speaks for his recognized
ability as a lawyer. If .the voters of Alaska place such
men as Mr. Dimond in the legislature, they will do more
than anything else to inspire the confidence of capital in
the Territory leading to greater investments which every
one who has the interest of Alaska at heart admit is one
of the crying needs of the country. The politicians of the
Sutherland-Paul type cry for the development of the
country in one breath and condemn the investors in the
next. Why not be consistent?
Mr. Dimond will talk this evening at the Liberty thea
tre and if you are doubtful on the matter as to who is the
proper man for the position of Senator for this Division,
go listen and be convinced.
BUT MONEY ALWAYS TALKS
What our great party of moral ideas needs in this
great crisis is a cash register with a; good muffler on it.
It isn’t probable that Europe ever will get
enough to quit selling things to America.

Takes Own life in
Fairbanks, Saturday
DESPONDENCY LEADS MRS. EVE
LYN COURTNAY TO COMMIT
SUICIDE
Regarding the recent suicide in
Fairbanks, last Saturday of Mrs. Jack
Courtnay, former wife of the railroad
man who has been making Seward his
headquarters for some months, the
Fairbanks News-Miner said in part:
Disillusioned, heart-sick and weary
of life’s struggles, Mrs. Evelyn Court
nay decided that life was not worth
living and brought matters to an end
with a 32 calibre automatic in her
cabin on third avenue Saturday. A
coroner’s jury rendered a verdict that
“death was self inflicted with suicidal
intent.’’
The body w’as discovered by her
chum and companion, Miss Betty Mc
Cafferty, who immediately summoned
the officers.
Mrs. Courtnayf left the following- let
ter which was found by Miss McCaf
ferty:
“I have given life a fair trial and I
want no more of it. To. think that
one has lived for twenty-eight years
and has made no better showing than
I have. T am sure the world is better
off to be rid of such failures. It seems
to me that if people can’t make a suc
cess of life before that age it is too
late to start again.
“I hfcve lost that which is all that
a woman has, and that is the respect
of people, and whenever that is gone,
how can one ever redeem ones self.
Many people err in life and I am sor
ry that this will reflect on one of my
very best friends. The person who
loaned me this gun, and I wish it un
derstood that I lied to obtain posses
sion of it. This person has been my
friend in time of stress more than
once and it was only because of their
great faith in me that I was able to
obtain this gun. My one regret in
passing is that I must violate this
trust and in all justice I ask that this
person be absolved from all blame. If
people were more tolerant of others
short comings there would be more
happiness in this world.
“Signed EVELYN COURTNEY.”
Dear Sir:
I notice in yesterday’s paper, page
four, under Qualifications for all vot
ers, you print the Session Laws of
1913 that citizens must be over 21
years, residents of Alaska one year
and resided 30 days continuously pre
ceding election in the precinct, in
which they vote.
%If you will, look up the 1915 Session
Laws pf Alaska, Section 23, page 60,
you will find that a resident of Alas
ka can vote in any precinct in his
or her division and that thirty days
preceding election is not required as
one of the qualifications.
Yours truly,
LEON URBACH
