ONLY ONE SENSIBLE COURSE.
With the opening of the polls today
will eotnmenot what is probably one
of the greatest features of our national
life, an election by all tHe people, of
a publie servant, i representative who
is pledged to fulfill the wishes of the
public it ml to support in the law form
ing assemblies of the la ml the inter
ests of those who place hint in a pnsi
tion of public trust.
The first requisite demanded of a
public officer is that he be able lo ful
fill the duties ol' the office for which he
has sought the franchise of the public
and that he discharge in a capable and
efficient, manner tin* wishes of the people
as i xpressed by their approval at the
polls, of the interests he represents.
With this idea in view it is difficult
to understand wherein the local or ''in
side'' candidate, .MeGann, who is seek
ing the highest office hut one within
the power of the people of Alaska to
bestow, can hope to meet the demands
of the public for ail officer, or remv
sentative, who can discharge to Hie
greatest advantage tn the people, the
duties of that office a representative
who cannot meet tin* requirements
whether the reason lie within himself
or not, cannot be all efficient public
nfli' ■ .mil the situation of Mr. MeGann
is such that by no stretch of the im
agination cun it be made to appear that
he ran any more than partially fulfill
the duties demanded of a candidate for
senatorial honors
It is therefore to lie hoped that ;he
people of this district who feel that
they are entitled to representation in
the fullest sense of the term will de
cide to secure that result by voting for
either one or the other of the men who
are in a position to reach the legist i
tive assembly in time to participate 'n
all of its deliberations. When it is pos
sible to have our legislative needs fully
attended t** it is fully to blindly e r?t
one who can only partially fill the de
mands i.f the occasion. As has been
pointed out there it little to be chosen
between the several candidates ns far
as personal fitness is concerned and it
is aIsii generally known that they re
present tlie same ideas in regard to
the legislative needs of this and the
several districts of the territ-i The
contention tlint the pledges made last
fall by .l imes and Anderson may not
be their own views today: that, be*
cause they have decided to spend a
winter on tlie outside, they haw chang
ed their minds and no longer ‘epresent
the same views, is nonsense in t! » face
of the fact that practically .-u t*eir
in crests lie in this district. They have
I- - 1 ■—
I lived here for years, Invested their
Ichor end their money here, and are
i thoroughly Identified with Seward
Peninsula as men well can he.
| Our Interests are their Interests, our
reeds in constructive legislation ,i~e
their needs also, and It is safe ;o con
clude that the balmy breezes of the
Pacific slope have not stolen away
their senses or caused them to forget
that this section of Alaska holds the
major portion of their possessions
Tn spite of nil tlie arguments l.asei,
on personal likes and dislikes there is
not one logical argument against
eiltier of these men as to their fitness
to look after the people of tMs sec
tion in a thorough and efficient man
ner or of their inclination toward the
future welfare of the district. '1 here
is but one sensible course and It Is to
be hoped that the voters will io con
clude and ratify their opinion at the
polls
The Nugget reiterates Its previously
expressed views that the best insurance
that the wishes of those woo d“jlre
[full representation will be mm. IPs lo
'supporting the strongest candidate of
lie two. which. If the results ,>f ihe
November election may he taken as an
indication, is Andy Anderson.

ANDY ANDERSON
Candidate for Senator to Alaska
Legislature
TO THE VOTERS OF THE SECOND
DIVISION.
As u candidate in the approaching
special election to ho held February 27.
I beg to submit for your consideration
th« following measures which I will
particularly advocate and support if
1. A lniv*r*al I'ielit Hour
2. legislation amply protecting La
bor from the piratical methods of ern
plovers who annually defraud working
men of their earnings.
:i. The maintenance of the Austra
lian ballot system in all elections; and
legislation establishing the initiative,
referendum and recall.
A law prohibiting any person from
ipialifying as a candidate for an\ elec
tive office who is not an actual liona
tlile resident of the territory at the time
of nomination.
, THOS. McGANN,
Candidate for Senator, Alaska
Legislature.
We believe that Mr ilfiorft** v. In* is also a i-andiclate, and was last tail.
n<*gl®ci®d to publish any platform lit- was known, however, to favor the
building of a railroad from Teller t»> the l\»*uffarok, rather than rehabilitate the
present railroad from Nome. “Stick a pin there” citizens of Nome.
Th® virtue of platforms lies in the honest purpose, intent and ability t«>
1 rarry them out—assuming that each of the » arulidates is equally honest so far
i us purposes and intent are concerned—Xvhat of their ability to carry them out7
The session of the legislature commences on the 2nd day of March. It is
limited to sixty days. Gleet ion takes place Saturday, Feb. 27. Two weeks or
1 more will elapse before khe completed returns are in. and several weeks more
will pass before the vote* are canvassed irrid the certificate of election Issued
By forestalling the canvass, Anderson or JaVnes could report at Juneau near the
. < pening of the session At best, more than half of the session would he over
before Mctlann could possibly report for duty.
A short session is necessarily a strenuously one. Most of the hills will
I have been introduced, referred to the appropriate committees, and their merit*

| a legislator, who bv enforced absence lining this time, has neither had time or
J opportunity to read tjie lulls, and much less to have heard them discussed, to vote
j intelligently is asking ton much of hiutu u fra ill > T<» presume to do so would
J simply he an evidence of bumptiousness
Under the circumstances, and assuming that the member-elect is worth hi*
! per diem, the efficiency of Andersun or James would be twice as great as that
of McQann. If the purpose of an election he to secure service and not merely
' to give an aspirant “a handle to his name.” self-respecting citizens wilt
j vote accordingly.
N'oin» tin* been th* hom* of each of the candidates for the p*st fifteen year*.
They are all Alaskan* in thr full sense of the term. “One swallow does not
make a summer" nor does the Heeident of "liting out" during: one winter change
the character, residence or qualification* “f the candidate The argument Is
puerile, When and how did Mr-Ounn become the “local man?" By what right
does the Industrial Worker call Anderson and .lairr s "Seattle i undulates?" Had
either been elected last fall, necessity would have taken liiui to the "outside"
pending the session of the legislature. Does the fact that Aldrich, Coombs and
Moran went to Seattle and that (Vtcliell went to {Juneau overland give the latter
a better standing in the legislature or lie fere his resist itutents than his colleagues.’
Does the fact that McOnnn was defeated and • remained in" give him a pre
scriptive riglit to the office?
Neither Anderson or .lames me here in person to meet insinuations, hut
j their friends are. So also a host of self-respecting voters who do not relish.
: and who resent the effort to play them for ‘'sucker.- '
Anderson and .lames are supposed to draw from the same elements. This
militates in favor of MeGann. Because wo believe tluit Anderson is the stronger
of the two. basing our opinion on the vote of last fall, we urge thr opposition to
MeOann to concentrate on. and vote for Anderson.
