True Wilson Statement, nor the Pension Relief Bill
A large number of citizens, and visitors in the city,
attended the Liberty theater last evening where they
were given the opportunity of hearing the first political
address in Seward, of the present campaign, of Delegate
Dan Sutherland, republican candidate for re-election. As
his address proceeded, applause was accorded him at vari
ous times. The departure of many people during his ad
dress detracted interest to a great extent.
L. V Ray, Mayor of Seward, introduced Delegate
Sutherland.
The following speech of Mr. Sutherland's is almost
verbatim but at times there was so much noise, that it wps
difficult to hear plainly. In the main, however, the ad
dress is in its entirety.
MI 1H5PECT0B STEM
PIKING DISTRICT I VISIT
B. D. Stewart of the Bureau of
Mines and the Geological Survey, min
ing inspector for the Territory of
Alaska, arrived from his Juneau office
yesterday, en route to the Anchorage
office. This is Mr. Stew’art’s first visit
to this district for many months. On
the present journey he will make a
thorough inspection of properties
along the railroad belt all the way in
to Fairbanks.
.s.
Succeeding Dr. J. H. Romig, as phy
sician and surgeon at the government
hospital at Anchorage, Dr. R. F.
Swartz, formerly of Kennecott, but
more recently of Seattle, arrived in
the city yesterday from, the South. Dr.
Romig left Anchorage two weeks ago
for Fairbanks where he has resumed
his former practice.
MRS. CliIRE E. RUCHES
Mrs. Claire E. Hughes, mother of
Mrs. James Sawyer Bogart arrived
from Cody, Wyoming yesterday, and
will visit with her daughter for a
few months. The visit primarily is
J being made to get acquainted with
her grandson, which the stork re
cently brought to the Bogart house
hold. Mrs. Hughes is quite promin
ent in Fraternal Orders and for six
years has been Past Grand Secretary
in the State of Iowa, for the East
ern Star.
Extra good show on at the Liberty
theater tonight.
I “I am here before you, as it is said,
1 republican candidate fo* delegate to
congress. We are now on the eve of
another congressional election and I
am here to tell you something of what
has been accomplished during the
past term. I was nominated by the
republican party of Alaska at the
primary election in April by a vote
such as would have constituted a ma
jority in the election of 1924.
“From year t<5 year I appeared be
fore you to explain the work perform
ed in congress and at this time I want
to speak briefly of what has been ac
complished at this session that has
just closed. Fourteen measures ap
plicable to Alaska have been passed
and signed by the president; these
are exclusive of the usual appropria
tion bill sand items pertaining to Al
aska.
Of the fourteen bills that passed, I:
was the author of nine and fourteen j
measures is an unusual number in a
sipgle session of congress. I think a
great many more than were ever pas
sed at any one session. The Decem
ber session will probably see the pas
sage of at deast ten other important}
measures for the territory.”
At this point Mr. Sutherland dwel- j
led at considerable length on a few
of the bills which he thought would
interest the people of this district,
namely, the extension of time to com
plete the Anthracite railroad to Con
troller bay; a bill to authorize the de
parture from rectangular system of
surveying'for homestead claims, ano
ther bill provided for the postmasters
in Alaska to act as disbursing agents
in paying mail contractors; a bill to
provide for the exportation of timber
from national forests or public do
main.
Mr. Sutherland said, “The following
bills have been passed the house and
should pass the senate in the Decem
ber session;
“A bill to provide for the insurance
of mail matter to the amount of $1,000
instead of $100.
“Another is a bill to amend the U.
S. mining law so that it will conform
with the well established one of the
territory of Alaska. It would permit
a miner to locate two forty-acre claims
in each recording district during a
calendar month.
“The appropriations for roads and
trails in Alaska this year was $1,420,
000. When I first went to congress
the appropriation was $350,000.”
Mr. Sutherland then spoke of the
Lowell creek project being replaced
on the calendar and that in his opi
nion the proposed Resurrection bay
breakwater and the Lowell creek pro
ject should be combined, carried out
together. But in this he said engi
neers might not agree with him. It is
quite probable these projects will be
passed upon in December, he said.
“Co-ordination is a pleasant sound- i
ing word, but I doubt if co-ordination
of bureaus in Alaska can be accom
plished. I believe we can progress
without the efficiency we hear so

much about or as they say in England,
we can just ‘muddle’ along without
creating offices that give autocratic
power to any individual.
“President Coolidge in his Williams
burg speech gave a clear conception
of the element of danger contained
in the increased power of bureaus.
“Speaking of the campaign, the
campaign of the opposition this fall is
conducted by the firm of lawyers lo
cated in Valdez and Cordova, Dono
hoe and Dimond. That firm happens
to be the attorneys for the Alaska
Packers’ association and Northwest
Fisheries company, a subsidiary of
the Booth fisheries. These men have
exerted a tremendous influence on the
democratic party and had the power
to place for nomination a man a man
who had no intention of entering the
race in the fall. This was done to pre
vent a man of independent spirit from
receiving the nomination. Many
militant democrats of Alaska have
refused to have their votes trans
ferred over to the fish trust or its at
torneys. The propaganda that has
been circulated emanates from this
source.
“I have been maligned before the
people of the territory and went to
