To the Voters of the Third Division
In soliciting your vote at the coming e'ection 1 wish to place before you the fol
lowing points for your consideration:
1. I favor a full Territorial form of go eminent for Alaska, but in the absence of
I that, as full management and control of Ala&kan affairs by Alaskans as is possible mi
lder existing laws. My motto is Alaska for Alaskans.
2. I am a friend of the Pioneers. 1 favor the passage of a deficiency appropria
tion to pay the old pioneers the full amount of the pension allowed by the last legisla
ture and not paid for failure of sufficient appropriation by the last legislature.
3. One of the most essential things in the Territory is the proper support of its
school system including the Alaskan Agric iltural College and School of Mines. Suffi
cient appropriations should be made by the legislature for the proper support of this
institution to allow it to prosper and expand.
4. I favor the strict conservation oi Aaskan nsiienes consistent wirn me wuian
of tlie Territory. In this connection the nshery laws should aim at the development
of a permanent fishing population in Alaska. No fishery law can be administered from
Washington. The administration by Alaskans is the only way to prevent improper reg
ulations such as the one now in force under the White Law which provides that fox
farmers catching fish for fox feed shall be upon the same basis and be governed by
the same restrictions as commercial fishermen.
5. I favor the repeal of the tax on fur farmers and other struggling industries.
We must encourage rather than discourage the investment of capital in the Territory
and the development of our resources. A tax on fur farmers is no more reasonable
than a tax on agricultural farmers. Island farmers should be given the right to obtain
a permanent right and title to their islands.
6. A democratic representative form of government can only exist if based on an
intelligent electorate. I oppose the disfranchising of any one on the grounds of color
or race. But every voter to be capable of properly exercising his or her franchise
should be able to read and write. For this reason I favor a fair and impartial literacy
test for all voters.
7. In seeking your support at the coming election I pledge that if elected I shall
honestly and faithfully represent you to the best of my ability without fear or favor,
with justice to all and special privilege to none.
Trusting to have the honor of your support at the election November 4, I remain,
Respectfully yours,
AARON E. RUCKER.
