BROAD, PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM
The platform adopted by the Republican convention at
Cordova will stand the scrutiny of the most critical. It is a
document that was prepared by thoughtful men from every di
vision of Alaska. The various provisions were considered by
sub-committees, and when finally agreed upon the platform was
unanimously adopted byr the entire committee and later adopt
ed by a nanimous vote of the convention. It contains many
wise, useful and progressive recommendations, that if carried
out by those in power, would redound to the glory, growth and
prosperity' of Alaska. It is such a platform that every reason
able voter in the territory can approve, and in standing upon
the many declarations contained therein Candidate William
A. Gilmore is fortified with many reasons why he should re
ceive the support of the voters of the territory', so that he may
go to Washington and advocate the measures that will bring
much-needed relief to Alaska.
■-oooo-1
IN SUPPORT OF WILLIAM A. GILMORE.
From all reports William A. Gilmore will prove a formida
ble canditate that the Republicans can elect, providing Dele
gate Wickersham follows his expressed inclination to refuse
to again enter the contest. While Mr. Gilmore has not always
contributed his efforts to the success of the Republican nomi
nees, he is a man of many good parts and possesses the neces
sary qualifications to make him a useful Congressman. There
are many Republicans who may be reluctant to lend their sup
port of his candidacy, but it is hoped that by the time election
day rolls around in August they may be more inclined in his
favor. While the Chitina Leader would prefer to advocate the
cause of a man who had been working in the same harness, yet
we recognize the many qualifications to the position that Mr.
Gilmore possesses, coupled with the fact that lie is the nominee
of a Republican convention. As a consequence this paper
wishes to go on record as a supporter of the party nominee,
William A. Gilmore, as a candidate for delegate to Congress.
While we may not work overtime to secure his election, he will
be given such support that will be satisfactory to the candi
date, and of a strength that will be greater than he could reas
onably expect to receive. If all Republicans will concede as
much we believe that Mr. Gilmore will be the next delegate to
Congress from Alaska.

HONORS OF THE ELECTION
R. J. Bam* is practically one of the new comers to-the
town. But his vote at yesterday’s election demonstrates that
the record that he has made in Cordova is one that he has
reason to feel proud of. lie is a man, straightforward and
courageous, with an unusual capacity for energetic accomplish
ment, who commands the confidence of every fair-minded man
in the community. There was evidently a desire upon the paid
of the electors to make Mr. Barry the mayor of Cordova. The
honor rests between he and Mr. Slater, and the latter very gra
ciously and generously insists that it shall be Mayor Barry.—
Daily Alaskan.

The suggestion of “Wilson ami Wiley—pure Democracy
and pure food” presents a problem to the former chief chemist
beside which “What is whisky?” and the other conundrums
were simple of solution. There is a wider divergence of opin
ion on “pure Democracy” than on any item of the food and
drug list.
The Australian ballot system and a law safeguarding pri
maries are real necessities in Alaska. And particularly the lat
ter. The disgraceful scenes and actions that accompanied the
holding of so many of the primaries throughout the territory
certainly call for more stringent regulations under which pri
maries should be held.
Harmony is an euphonious word. It has a pleasing sound.
But to display the full meaning of the word acts are necessary.
And if there are any people in Cordova who have differences to
harmonize, what a tine thing it would be for them to just quiet
ly go ahead and harmonize. It really isn’t necessary to do it
with a trumpet. There have been instances in the past where
“thou doth protest too much.”
Predictions and prognostications as to the result of the
August election will be of little value uutil the lines are more
closely drawn. And much depends upon the final decision of
Delegate Wickersham. Should he retire there undoubtedly
would be a hard fight between Mr. Gilmore and Mr. Jennings.
And should the Wickersham strength go to the former there
would seem to be little doubt as to his election.
It is going to be difficult to designate between the two
Democrats who have been nominated for delegate to Congress.
Both are of the faith, but holding two conventions at the same
time and both claiming to be regular, rather complicates the
situation. But it rather seems to the Daily Alaskan, after a pe
rusal of the proceedings of both conventions, that Mr. Jennings
is the nominee of tj^e Democracy of Alaska.
SEATTLE, April 2.—Practically
opening up the vast timber areas of
Alaska to all residents of the terri
tory, and enabling them to enter up
on them and cut trees on public
lands without more than thirty days’
delay, notice of new regulations has
been received from Washington, I).
C., by Andrew L. Christenson, chief
of the held division, department of
the interior.
While the new regulations apply
only to bona fide residents of Alas
ka, or those engaged in business
tncrein. and "ill permit the use of
the timber in Alaska only, the law
modifies the previous ruling to such
an extent that it is regarded as a
distinct gain by the pioneers of the
Northern territory.
Under the new ruling, immediate
ly after an applicant has filed his re
quest to cut trees on public lands
and pays his deposit of $T>0, he will
be given permission to carry out his
request within thirty days, unless ap
praisement of the land can be made
promptly by the chief of the field di
vision.
Heretofore the Alaskan has been
compelled to wait, in some instances
several years, before the land could
be appraised, because of the inabili:
ty of the general land office to fur
nish enough special agents.
The new ruling says that he need
not wait more than thirty days, pro
viding he obtains the written permis
sion of the chief of the field division
to cut timber.
If he confines his cutting to forty
acres of land, and has completed his
cutting before the' appraiser gets
around, he can remove the timber
and use it, first paying the stumpage
price charged by the government.
If he covers a larger amount of
territory he must wait six months
after filing the application, and if by
that time the appraisement has not
been made, he can enjoy the same
privileges, after he makes his pay
ment to the government, as in the
other case.
Another provision of the new reg
ulations is that the application and
permission to cut trees on public
lands will not give one man the ex
clusive right to the timber, unless
J the request is limited to forty acres
and the boundaries are sufficiently
marked to identify them.
Stumpage rates are slightly in
creased but not sufficiently to work
any hardship on the Alaskans who
need the timber
Printed copies of the new law will
shortly be received from Washington
and distributed throughout Alaska.
TO THE PUBLIC
I desire to kindly thank the em
ployes at Kennecott with my deep
est appreciation for the attention
and sympathy that they have given
in my recent loss. I wish also to
thank some of the men of the com
pany for their attentions, and mak
ing good use of the employes’
money to send a faithful man to his
home at rest.
