Candidate for Alaska legislature
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,
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.
CANNERIE8.
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.
UNJU8T 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,
Stands on a Constructive and Progressive Platform

aged after an encounter with the

ported that the balance of the Eng
lish and French fleets led by the
battleship Triumph is persuing the
German fleet, which has fled to the
northward.

strong protest to all the powers of
the world charging that the German
troops invading Belgium have been

treaty of Geneva and The Hague.
It is charged that non-combatants
have been murdered in cold blood and
that many assaults have been com
mitted upon women.
English Wounded Reach Portsmouth.
( PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 14.—The first

nick of time, the explosions occur
ring as the German cavalry rode to
wards them at full speed.
Hold Diest Against Uhlans.
The city of Diest was held by a
detachment of Belgian troops, who
barricaded behind upturned wagons
and sent a murderous fire upon the
German cavalry, mowing them down
by the hundreds.
Uhlans Are Everywhere.
The Uhlans are working in all di
rections from the German frontier,
foraging and destroying and are cov
ering the real point of attack of the
Germans, which so far has been suc
cessfully concealed.
German Army Out of Rations.
The German army is short of food
according to the prisoners, many of
whom are half starved. The commis
sary department has been unable to
bring up supplies to the men both on
the Belgium border and on the
French frontier.
Holland Fights With Water.
The people of Holland have flooded
parts of the lowlands between them
and the German frontier in order to
prevent the Germans from invading
Holland. They have also massed an
army of sixty thousand men to stop
any invasion. The Germans would
have to transport the army across
the flooded sections in boats, as three
feet of water covers the low lying
section and more will be let in if
actual invasion takes place.
French Say Germans Hungry.
PARIS, Aug.-14.—The French war
office states that the German prison
ers taken during the recent fighting
in Alsace are broken in spirit, weak
and hungry and that many of them
are uninformed of the reason for the
war. The Germans are reported as
declaring that the present war Is one
of the officers and not the people.
Predict Overthrow of Government.
The French predict the overthrow
of the German Kaiser's government,
as the Socialists have made many at
tempts to arouse public opinion
among the soldiers and if they suc
ceed it is expected that the army
will turn.
Censorship On All News.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14—President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan, of the
Department of State, have agreed
that the enforcement of neutrality by
the United States requires a strict
censorship on all news sent from
this country regarding military move
ments or the whereabouts of war
ships. Instructions have been given
to all cable companies to maintain
the strictest censorship.
Reservists Must Have Money.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—The Ger
man consul here has refused trans
portation to all German reservists
who have no funds, as the consulate
Is unable to provide the necessary
transportation to Germany now and
the men must make their way back,
going via Italy and then working
gradually north.
