City Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA. FEBRUARY 26, 1915
BUT ONE ANSWER.
With tin election but one day away
it behooves the voters of Seward Pen
insula nr tit least those who have, a
due regnrd for the welfare of this dis
trict. to virtually take time Icy the fere
lock tend make up their minds tic the
fac'd that if Seward Peninsula is tec ob
tain any benettts whatever from the
forthcoming legislative session ii can
only he by electing one or the other of
the candidates for the senatorial office
now on the outside.
P..v any c ommon sense proec ss of de
duction It is plainly to be seen Hint the
so called "inside" candidate. MeOann
c annot, under the most favorable cir
■ ‘ c umstanei s hope to reach Juneau be
fore the earlier days of April, at which
time tlie legislative session will be half
' civet Under these conditions no man,
regardless of bis qualifications, can be
effective1 in the procuring of such bene
fits as will best fill the legislative needs
of this district, and voters may just as
well make up their minds to the fact
first ns last that if they want active
representation they are compelled to
abandon all personal likes and dislikes,
anil all c lass affiliations and elect a man
who can at least be on the spot in time
to sen that Seward Peninsula is not en
tirely overlooked in the law making
processes.
The argument that the candidates
now on the outside are invalidated or
that their elec tion will constitute a pro
c edent which may ultimately cause the
voters of this district to vote into office
one who is not an active resident of the
territory, is the veriest tom foolery and
an nil too evident attempt to “pull the
wool over” the eyes of the voters.
In a measure such contention is ten
insult and a slander on the intelligence
of the people of this district. The peo
ple of Seward Peninsula are as intelli
gent and as competent to look after
their best interests as those of any
community in the United States and
there is absolutely no reason to be
lieve that Hie; are going to utterly for
get ail the intelligence and foresight
displayed in handling of their affairs in
the pa»t neither now or hereafter
As before stated all such arguments
are only advanced to delude the voters
into accepting a man who can in no
sense fill the bill Mot tliul he la in any
way personally incompetent or un
worthy but simply that ho cannot pro
cure the results desired because of
natural difficulties which no human
being can hope to overcome.
There is absolutely nothing to be
gained by electing a man who can onlyji
arrive on the scene after practically
ill the preliminary work of the legisla
ture is completed when all hills have
hern introduced and discussed and
when nearly everv avenue of legislative
process is blocked and cumbered wit it
j the business previously entered \ halt
loaf max he considered better than m
j loaf at all in some quarters but it is
! not believed that the rank and file ol
'he voters of this district will look at
\ the matter in that light and will vote
! accordingly.
> ..e election of McOann can in nu
! Way he other than a failure nr far as
j results are concerned and xx'ill sjtnpl>
I result iti adding an *‘f fonoruble" to the
name of a man who can do nothing t<
reward that honor regardless of his
best efforts
There is one tiling however that the
voters must not overlook even if they
i do not intend to v ote for McOann As
pointed ..ut iu the published circular of
the Anderson Campaign Committee.
\nderson and lames are expected to
draw from the same elements, and this
| fact is of vital interest as » close con
test between .lames and Anderson is
■ hound as stated, to "militate in favor
of MeGann." and the closer the vote
• he more the result will he in his favor
hence it would scent tin part of wisdom
for the voting public to unite <ui one of
the '•outside" candidate^ and thus oh
v late the possibility of the wishes of
the people being rendered entirelx tie
native in that manner
The principle* of both men ate \\< i!
known ami the platform of \ndersort
has been published so there is little
reason to withhold judgment he« a use
»f a lack of knowledge of what lliex
stand for The platform on which An
demon is running as placed before the
voters last .Vox ember, differs hut
j slightly from that o* McGann and sach
I difference* as occur aie in no way \ ital
Hoth advocate the eight hour law
which is of such vital importance to the
laboring masses, and in the balance of
their platforms thev are also nenrlx*
igreed on everx item, and a comparison
lovelopes the significant fact that An
lerson's platform is five more enmpre
' hensixe of the two
.Judging from the results of last No
ember Anderson is the more popular
.candidate of the t\vo“out.side" men and
vxiil probably f»nll an equal vote in the
*resent contort. This possibility con
<idereii it would ippear that in the
i best interest of tin* district if were well
I foi tlie voters to unite for the most pop
ular man The Nugget inis every re
gard for Mr .James and has not the
•*ast desire to work against his oandi
daev hut in the la*e of the present
•ireiimstalu es feels that it must sup
l'»ort that candidacy who is the strongest
uid in the la-st position to further the
interests of the district, which is ehtiro
lv in keeping with the suggestion of
both James md Anderson published
some time ago which was advanced
! with the same idea ill view.
Judge from ihe promise this seems
the only logical course to pursue if the
people desire a full and active repre
sentation and the voters are urged to
unite in following this plan; namely
boose what is conceived to he the
strongest candidate and thus secure
stu b benefits as the present legislative
session cun confer
THE GATEWAY BREAKS THE
BAD NEWS TO MALTBY.
He First Sees in This Paper the Fact
That He Has Been Beaten
For Legislature.
A. K. Malt by .formerly commissioner
in the Iditarod. is now at Knik with
Mrs. Mai thy on l In way out from the
interior ramp to .Juneau. On li ning
Iditarod he thought he had been elected
to the legislature and came out to he
on hand to attend the session of the
legislature in March. At Susitna Sta
tion. however, he came across a copy of
the Seward Gateway telling that Snow
of Ruby had forged ahead in the voting
and that in* had fallen from first to
second place J. K Riley the mining
operator met the Aralthys on the trail.
He also believed that the Iditarod
man’s election was assured. It is sngi
now that Snow had a lead of only
eighteen votes hut judging from nil
returns that have i onto in it seems as
if Snow's election is certain.

Candidate for Senator to Alaska
I .egislature
As a candidate in the approaching
special election to lie held February 27.
I heg to submit for your consideration
the following measures which 1 will
particularly advocate and support if
elected;
1. \ t’niversal I'.isht Ttour Law.
Legislation amply protecting La
bor from tlie piratical methods of em
ployers who annually defraud working
men of their earnings.
.2. The maintenance of the Austra
lian ballot system in all elections: and
legislation establishing the Initiative,
referendum and recall.
r>. a law prohibiting any person from
i|iialifying as a candidate for any elee
tiye office who is not an actual bona
lide resident of the territory at the time
of nomination.
THOS. McOANN.
Candidate for Senator, Alaska
Legislature.
We believe tliai Mr I b ul ge .lames, who is also a caruiiiiu te. and was last fall,
neglected to publish any platform lie was known, however, to favor lha
building of a railroad from 'roller l" ilie Kouearok. rather than rehabilitate the
present railroad from Nome. "Slick a pin there" citizens of Nome
The virtue of platforms lies in ti e honest purpose, intent and ability to
carry them out- assuming that each or I he candidates is equally honest no fur
■s purposes and inti lit are concerned- what of their ability to carry them out"
The session of the legislature commences on the 2nd day of March. It is
limited to sixty days IStedion takes place Saturday, Feb. 27. Two weeks or
more will elapse before the completed returns are in, and several weeks more
will pass before the votes are. canvass d and the certificate of election issued
It' forestalling the canvass Anderson < r lames could report at .luneuu near the
pening of the session \t best, more than half of the session would tie over
: before M.-tiann could possibly report lor duty.
A short session is necessarily a strenuously one Most of ttie hills yvtll
have been Introduced, referred to the appropriate committees, and their merits
discussed and considered during the first thirty days of the session. To expect
a legislator, yy lm by enforced absence during this time, has neither had time of
opportunity to read the hills, and much less to have heard them discussed, to vote
intelligently is asking too much of human frailty To presume to do so would
simply be an evidence of bumptiousness
1'iuler the circumstances, and assuming that the member-elect is worth his
per diem, the efficiency of Anderson or James would he twice as great as that
cf MoCi.utiii jf ilie purpose of an election lie to secure service and not merely
to give an aspirant “a handle to his name," self-respecting eilizpns wilt
vote accordingly.
Nome has been the hotiin of each of the candidates for the past fifteen years
They arc all Alaskans in the full sense of the term. “One swallow does not
make a summer" not does the accident of "living out" during one winter change
tlie character, residence nr quaiifleuiions of the candidate. The argument is
puerile. When and how did Mi Gann become the "locnl man?" I5y what right
does the Industrial Worker call Anderson and James "Seattle candidatesHud
either been elected last fall, necessity would ha ye taken liim to the “outside”
pending the session of the legislature. Does the fact that Aldrich, Coombs and
Moran went to Seattle and that Qetcltell went to Juneau overland give the latter
better standing in the legislature or before his constittttents than his colleagues?
Does tlic fai l that McOann was defeated and "remained in" give him a pre
scriptive right to tiie office .'
t"
Wither Anderson or James are here in person to meet insinuations, but
their friends ar« . So also a host of self-respecting voters who do not relish,
rind who resent the effort to play them for “suckers."
Anderson and James .ire supposed to draw from the same elements. This
militates in favor of MeCJann i*e« ause we believe that Anderson is the stronger
nf th* two. basing' "in opinion on the vote i»f last fall, we urge the opposition to
McOann t<* emo » nt? ate on, and V"to for Anderson
