Candidate for Alaska legislature
PLACER LAW.
1 favor a repeal of the existing placer
law passed Igy 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,
I 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 defend the right of 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 im’mediate 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 JCor entry.
UNJUST LEGISLATION.
I am opposed to unjust and oppressive
sumptuary legislation which Intereferes
with the personal rights of citizens.
To all of which I am pledged.

WHORF GETS OUI
AN INJUNCTION
Cook Inlet Coal Operator In Quarrel
With People Who Financed
His Project.
SEATTLE, Sept. 8.—Charging that
the executors of the estate of Julius
Ridelsheimer were endeavoring to
freeez himself and his wife out of
their interest in the Whorf Coal
Company owning coal claims at Port
Graham in Alaska the attorneys for
Whorf today secured an Injunction
against the holding of the annual
meeting of stockholders of the Port
Graham Coal Company. The injunc
tion 'was issued by the federal court.
Wliorf recites a terrible tale of
hardships in the north in his com
plaint and states that for twenty
years he has been fighting the rigors
of the northern climate, working with
a pick and shovel to develop the
mine at Port Graham. One winter,
he says, he was marooned upon an
iceberg near Port Graham and un
able to escape, living upon seaweed
and fish which he caught with a fish
hook, he accidentally had in his pock
et, and that as a result of the ter
rible winter hardships he was a phy
sical wreck and has been one ever
since and would have died only for
the careful and tender nursing of his
wife.
Whorf also insists that the Ridel
sheimer interest is not a controlling
interest and should not be allowed
to dictate the policy of the company.
He admits that the Seattle merchant
had financed him and his Alaska ven
tures for the past twenty years and
that he has depended largely upon
them for the money necessary to op
en the claims, but asserts that the
executors of the estate are now striv
ing to oust him from the manage
ment of the coal company as they
have from the fishing company.
The Alaska operator denies that he
has squandered any of the funds of
the company and also denies the
charges that he has been wasteful
and used the Seattle merchant for a
“sucker.” The injunction is tempor
ary and will be heard within a week
upon its merits.
iCaptain Whorf is the fish and coal
operator of Cook Inlet, who was in
dicted two years ago for killing moose
out of season with which to feed his
cannery help and was charged with
having induced the Indians to slaugh
ter hundreds of moose. He pled
guilty and was given a fine of $500.
ADMIRAL DEWEY
REICHES SEATTLE
SEATTLE, Sept. S.—The Admiral
Dewey, the new steamer of the Ad
miral line, arrived in Seattle yester
day afternoon, having come from the
Atlantic via the Panama canal. The
new liner was welcomed by all the
other steamers in the bay. The Ad
miral Dewey will be placed on the
Seattle-San Francisco run with the
Admirals Schley and Farragut, the
Watson and Evans taking care of
the company’s Alaskan business.
