ALL ALASKA RALLYING TO
MARQUAM’S STANDARD
From all over the territory reports are reaching the
editorial desk of the Gateway which clearly indicate that
Marquam’s popularity is daily gaining. The issues of the
present campaign are so clearly defined, the ability and
temperaments of the two candidates are so diametrically
opposed, and their sincerity or lack of sincerity in their
desire to be of service to the Territory are so apparent,
that the voters of Alaska are finding no difficulty in mak
ing their choice long before election day and they have not
hesitated in making their preference known.
The Gateway has, in a previous issue, announced its
support of the candidacy of the Hon. Thomas A.
Marquanv Independent candidate, and has endeavored to
give some of the reasons for this decision, and has prom
ised to follow this up from time to time. It feels duty
bound to present to its readers the issues of the campaign
and the personal qualifications of those who seek public
office at the hands of the voters of Alaska. To do less
would be not to fulfill its mission as a newspaper.
The issues of the campaign, as the Gateway sees tnem,
and without a definite platform having been announced
by Mr. Marquam, seem to sum down to this: Shall Alaska
be represented in Congress by a man who purposely re
tards the territory’s development, who has repeatedly
slandered the good names and reputations of respected
citizens of Alaska; who has aligned himself with the forc
es of destruction in the territory; who believes in gang
voting by illiterates, herded to the polls by Indian bosses;
or shall Alaska have for its Delegate to Congress a. man
of ability, ready and willing, yea anxious, to maintain its
good name, to develop its resources, to be of help to its
people and to prospective investors and empire builders.
The present Delegate has been kept in Congrss by the
votes of the people of Alaska for six years, yet during
that period no constructive legislation has been enacted
by Congress. He has succeeded in building up m the Ter
ritory* at least in the southeastern portion of it, with the
assistance of unscrupulous politicians, of an Indian voting
machine, which now has reached such proportions as to
loom up as a menace to the white people of Alaska. The
machine fostered by him and managed by Paul has taken
over the city government of the incorporated city of Sit
ka, and is threatening to do likewise in other communi
ties. He has managed, for personal reasons to create a
situation in Congress which has resulted in the embarras
ment of the President of the United States and in a very
hostile attitude on the part of a great many Senators to
ward Alaska and Alaskans.
The matter m a nut-shell is this: Do Sutherland,
Paul, Frame and their henchmen really represent the sen
timents of the majority of the voters of Alaska? If they
do, then Sutherland should be returned to Congress. If
they do not, and the Gateway cannot believe that they do,
Sutherland should be retired.
MarquanTs sincerity and his desire to further Alas
ka’s cause need no boosting on the part of the Gateway.
“Tom” is well known to Alaska’s sourdoughs, and the
newcomer to the territory needs but meet him and talk
with him to fully realize that he is an Alaskan first, last
and always. The Northland is Marquam’s home* he has
known no other for the past thirty years, and has no de
sire for the “flesh-pots which have been the chief ambi
tion of some of Alaska’s delegates.
A vote for Marquam on November 2nd will mean a
vote for Alaska’s progress and development. The major-*
ity should and must rule.
