PLACER LAW
I favor a repeal of the existing placer
law passed by the last legislature and be
lieve the legislature should get as much
information as possible from the prospect
ors of Alaska relative to mining legislation.
ELECTION LAW.
I favor the enactment of a lawful and
proper election law; one that will meet
with the approval of the people of this
district.
LABOR.
I favor the passage of proper legisla
tion conducive to the prosperity and hap
piness of the laboring man, and, therefore,
X favor a repeal of the present eight-hour
law. I believe laboring men have a legal
and moral right to form trades unions for
the purpose of peaceably assuring concert
ed action in behalf of those things to which
they are entitled and which, without or
ganization, individuals cannot obtain.
I advocate and deiend tne rigni oi work
ers of every branch of activity to organize
for the purpose of securing shorter hours
and increased wages.
I favor the enactment of a law making
it a felony to participate in any combina
tion or conspiracy to blacklist employees.
I also favor an employer’s liability act.
as well as safety appliance legislation to
protect the limbs, lives and health of the
workers.
CANNERIES.
I believe a law should be enacted and a
tax levied on the canneries and their pro
duction—a law that would compel the can
nery interests to pay.
DEVELOPMENT.
I favor the immediate development of
all the resources of Alaska and especially
this district, and believe the control should
be left to the people of Alaska and demand
that our coal, timber, oil and all other re
sources be opened for entry.
UNJUST LEGISLATION.
I am opposed to unjust and oppressive
sumptuary legislation which intereferee
with the personal rights of citizens.
To all of which I am pledged,

PRESIDENT SIGNS
SHIPPING BILL
Expected That 100 Foreign Vessels
I
Will Seek American Flag for
Safety During Present War.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24—President
Wilson today signed the administra
tion bill allowing foreign ships to se
cure American register with but lit
tle difficulty. It is expected that one
hundred vessels of all classes from
small ships of 3,000 tons to the big
Vaterland of 55,000 tons, will secure
American register and fly the Amer
ican flag within a few weeks.
As far as is known no foreign com
plications are expected because of
the transferring of the American flag
to the German ships now in Ameri
can ports. Friends of the adminis
tration say that England has been
consulted at all times by the State
department and has given her con
sent to the transfer as many Eng
lish ships will be used for transports
and the British are anxious that a
line of steamers be kept running to
England, France and the other coun
tries with which she is allied in the
present war so that the wants of
those countries may be supplied from
the American market.
The forty ships owned by the
Standard Oil Company, but operat
ed under the German flag because
of the stringent marine laws of the
United States will be transferred to
American register at once, as will a
like number of ships owned by the
American Steel trust, also operated
under German register for the same
reason.

thorities for trial.
A race war is threatened by the
Italians, who are arming themse’ves,
and threaten to get the men who
murdered the labor contractor.
TOTEM POLE NOW

York and thousands of people pass

NATIONAL LEAGUE
FLAG RAGE TIED
Boston Comes Up From Bottom In
Five Weeks To Even Break
With New York.
Boston reached a tie with New York
in the National League pennant race
yesterday through Cincinnati’s defeat
of New York while Boston did not
play. Each team last night had 59
games won and 48 lost.
Boston’s climb this year Is the most
amazing spectacle In recent base ball
history. It Is doubtful whether It
has ever been equaled. In just five
weeks Boston has jumped from the
bottom to a tie for first place, and
the team is playing a gait that out
classes everything else in the league.
On July 19 the outfit crawled Into
seventh place, on the 20th it moved
into sixth, and on the 21st it jumped
over fifth place, its rank last year
at the end of the season, into fourth
place. Since then it has moved stead
ily upward.
Boston’s record since July 20, the
last day it was in the second divis
ion, is 23 games won and five lost,
a percentage of 821. Nothing but a
slump can keep the team from win
ning the pennant. Its climb In rank,
however, is not so remarkable as
might seem to the casual fan. It Is
due largely to the fact that all the
teams in the National have been well
bunched ever since June. Last night
only 101 points separated the Brook
lyn tail-enders from the leaders. Nev
er before did a big league see less
than 250 points between first and last
place.
Boston’s climb is credited chiefly
to Manager George Stallings, Johnny
Hvers and Short Stop Maranville as
the brains of the combination, togeth
er with a good pitching staff and two
or three hard hitters. Stallings has
always been a succesful manager. He
boosted the New York Americans from
the bottom to second place and was
then let out because of friction with
Hal. Chase, who was an idol with
New York fans. Chase succeeded
Stallings as manager and in two sea
sons landed the team at the bottom
and was traded to the Chicago White
Sox, and a few weeks ago jumped to
the Federals. Stallings went to a
minor league, made good, and was
put in charge of the Boston Braves
at the beginning of 1913. The team
had been in the cellar several years.
Stallings raised it to fifth place in
one season.
Scrappy Johnny Evers, second base
man and flywheel of the Incompar
able old Chicago Cub infield, who
kept the Cubs in third place as their
manager last season after Chance,
Tinker and other stars were gone, is
field captain of the Bostons and chief
lieutenant of Stallings. He and Ma
ranville make a team like Evers and
Tinker around second base.
The Philadelphia Americans are
going like the Boston Nationals and
only a slump can beat them out of
the pennant. If they get the rag
they will have a fuss worth seeing
with the Stallings-Evers outfit.
