tine, preferential candidate for Gov
ernor at the coming primary election:
Juneau, Apr. 23, 1924.
“I am not supporting Cham
berlin, and would do nothing for
him anyway. Wickersham is
taking no part. I was manager

ing nothing for anyone. I am
for Alaska and its people; noth
ing else.”
(Signed) E. VALENTINE.
