Answering a letter "written him by
Arthur Frame, of Anchorage, candid
ate for the Territorial Senate, Jos. H.
Murray, veteran of the Territorial
House and candidate on the Republi

support Delegate Sutherland for re

why he finds it impossible to longer
support the head of the ticket.
Mr. Frame’s letter is as follows:
Anchorage Alaska, July 9, 1926
Hon. Jos. H. Murray,
McCarthy, Alaska.
Dear Murray:
We have organized a club here
known as the Third Division Republi

of carrying on the campaign this fall.
The campaign is really to be carried
on by the Executive Committee, of
which committee all candidates for
the Territorial Legislature are mem

to make we will be glad to receive
them. We are giving all members of
the ticket the same publicity and in

ARTHUR FRAME
In reply to the above, Mr. Murray
says:
Cordova, Alaska, July 20, 1926
Arthur Frame, Esq.,
Anchorage, Alaska.
Dear Arthur:
I came from my camp a few days
ago on my way to the coast and re
ceived yours of July 9 at McCarthy.
I note that I have been placed on
the executive committee of the An
chorage Republican club, and I note
your suggestion question as to wheth
er the Republicans of my part of the
country “intend to go down the line
for the entire ticket.”
Speaking for myself, I will not vote
for Sutherland. I have not been to
the states for over twenty-one years.
Most of the past twenty-three years
has been spent by me in the woods,
and the brooding lonliness of the life
I have lived among Alaska’s purple
hills for many years has caused me
to be sensitive even to strangers
maligning our people.
Confining myself to the terrible at
tack made upon Judge Ritchie, I am
alarmed that organized malice can
produce the situation which resulted
in Mr. Coolidge’s withdrawing Judge
Ritchie’s name from the senate. There
is a keen remembrance of the long
struggle to have our appointive offi
cers chosen from among our own
people, and it seems a tragedy to lose
the results of that long and painful
struggle on one hand.
Judge Ritchie is a scholarly lawyer
and a just man; judicially tempered,
fair in his decisions and humane in
his judgments against unfortunate
fellow men. He has 'trodden the trail
of judicial rectitude untouched by
flattery and unawed by slandep. I
cannot vote for Mr. Sutherland who
commanded the forces so atrociously
attacked the judge of the Third divi
sion.
The expression of these sentiments
may have evil effect upon my own
candidacy—such is the fortune of war
and politics; but the struggle through
life teaches us that we cannot pack
water upon both shoulders. I have
a full realizing sense that my own
election is neither important nor ne%
cessary to the people of the Third divi
sion; but the safety of the American
government depends upon the free
dom and integrity of our judges.
Yours truly
JOSEPH H. MURRAY
