FAIRBANKS PEOPLE
OPTIMISTIC. FUTURE
FEELING OF PERMANENCY PER
MEADS CITIZENS OF THE
INTERIOR
Among the speakers at yesterday’s
Chamber of Commerce meeting was
W. C. Erwin, manager of the local
Standard Oil company, who recently
returned from a trip of inspection to
the subsidiary stations at Anchorage
and Fairbanks. Mr. Erwin confined
his remarks to the Interior country
and said in part:
“I don’t know that I have anything
particular to say, except that this is
the first trip that I have made to Fair
banks, that the business people seem
to have a feeling of permanency.
Heretofore there has always been the
feeling that soon the small mines
would shut down, the bottom fall out
and the town move out, but with the
coming of the Fairbanks Exploration
Company and this season’s work upon
their ditch lines, sluicing off their
ground, and the spending of money,
; the town now seems to think that
they have a permanent city, that the
Exploration Company will be in there
for 20 years at least and before that
time they are sure that something
else will come in.

taken part in I have supported an In
dependent candidate, and you found
no complaint because Sutherland and
his friends choose to run on the In
dependent ticket.
“When my friends came to me and
wanted me to enter the primaries I re
fused for the simple reason that if I
became a candidate I was not going
to take the chance of being eliminat
ed in the primaries by having to go
up against a solid block of 1200 In
dian votes, and not have time for a
campaign. Therefore I decided to go
out as an Independent and I did and
if there is any' criticism of my actions
or reasons because I am running on
the Independent ticket that is my mis
fortune, but I appreciate that I will be
recognized as a Republican and a
representative of the people of Alas
ka, as I am an Alaskan before I am a
Republican.
“We have no party lhies in Alaska
nor have we had since the enactment
of the primary law. The man that
claims to be a Republican and run
ning as such, claims that that entitles
him to the votes of Alaska, does so
because he thinks to ride more easily
that way to office. Again when a
man claims to be running on a certain
party ticket, that party usually adopts
a platform, declarations and prin
ciples. And after the platform is
adopted it is then a question of whe
ther the candidate can see fit to stand
on that platform, and if he does not
agree he should not and would not be
come a candidate. But now each can
didate makes his own platform, whe- ]
ther it be Republican, Democratic or
Socialistic.
“Strange as it may seem, it so has
turned out that in this campaign, al
though I am running as an Indepen
dent Republican, I happen to have the
support of every newspaper in Alas
ka published by w'hite people. You
cannot name one from Southeastern
Alaska to Nome which is not support
ing me. On the other hand the only
two, and there are only two news
papers published by natives in Alas
ka, Wm. Paul’s “Fisherman” and the
Alaskan at Petersburg. That does
not mean much, yet it is significant
since they favor his support in such -
a remarkable manner. j
“A number of sporting events have ■
attracted the attention of the public J
and as referred to by the chairman, ■
it has occurred to me that it is too J
bad that the political campaign that J
is being waged in Alaska is not car- '
ried on in that high plane that char
acterizes the spirit of the games
which he referred to. I had hoped
that this would be a campaign of
clean statements of fact, and not that
of muck throwing and slander. It is
true that Mr. Sutherland has not
mentioned my name at any time, that
