VOTE FOR
AL WHITE
For Representative.
He Will Stay By Valdez and
Support the Peopled Policies.
The platform printed below was submitted to the voters of
Valdez last City Election. I can truthfully say now that I have
lived up to every section of that platform except section 4, which
was impossible to fulfill owing to the city’s finances.
The following platform was submitted April 7th, ’14:
TO THE VOTERS OF VALDEZ.
If elected to the Council on Tuesday, April 7th, I pledge my
support to the following platform: <
1. I favor an 8-hour day on all city work at 50 cents hour.
2. I favor fixing up all streets and sidewalks of the Reser
vation as soon as possible. i
3. I favor the maintenance of the City Dock.
4. I favor, if possible, a new and complete sewerage and
water system to be constructed and owned by the city.
5. I am not in favor of letting city work by contract and
believe the laboring man should have every possible chance to
earn his living in Valdez.
6. I am opposed to the present fine system in Valdez which
taxes the women of the restricted district for the benefit of the
city treasury.
To all of which I am pledged.
AL. WHITE.
If elected on November 3rd I have again pledged myself to
support my platform, which I have given already a great amount
of publicity. It contains many important changes that the peo
ple of Alaska now demand, such as a repeal of the placer law,
a better 8-hour law and a good and complete election law, as
well as advocating a larger tax on fisheries.
Stay by Valdez and vote for Al. White for representative to
the Alaska Legislature. He is an independent candidate. See that
his name is printed or written In on your ballot. Election Tues
day, November 3rd.

EXPLORER TALKS TO
SCHOOLCHILDREN
Mr. H. L. Tucker, of Boston, Mass.,
who spent the summer mapping the
glaciers of College Fjord, gave a talk
at the High School this morning on
mountain climbing. Mr. Tucker was
a member of the Parker-Browne Mt.
McKinley expedition which punctured
Dr. Cook’s fraud, and was leader of
the party of the Yale-Peruvlan expe
dition which made the first ascent of
Corafuma, the 22,000 foot Andean
peak.
During his talk the speaker strong
ly urged the claims of the sourdough
prospectors as the real .explorers and
unfolders of Alaska. "Explorers come
up here from the outside,” he said,
“for a few months in the year and
think from the unaccustomed diffi
culties and hardships they encounter
that they must be setting the first
foot in the region, when, in fact, that
foot is stumbling over the empty cans
and camp fires of sourdough prede
cessors. Yet, through their readier
access to newspaper headlines and
magazine pages the credit for pioneer
work is frequently misplaced by the
outside public.”
Mr. Tucker pointed out that the
first expedition to Mt. McKinley and
the only later ones that were wholly
successful were composed entirely of
Alaskans. “And Valdez may well be
proud,” he said, “that the greatest
picture of Mt. McKinley and what
is doubtless one of the finest moun
tain pictures in the world, was paint
ed here in Valdez with the backing
of Valdez citizens, by an Alaskan of
twelve years’ standing—Sydney Lau
rence.”
Mr. Tucker predicted that some day
this would be among the world’s most
famous and highly prized paintings—
in fact, important enough to serve as
a suffragette target.
That the native name, Denali, be
restored to the mountain, was strong
ly urged. While giving full credit
to Mr. W. A. Dickey, who gave the
mountain its present name, for be
ing the first to make the mountain
known to the outside world and to
correctly estimate Its height, the
speaker said that he felt that it was
more fitting that it should bear the
significant name by which it has al
ways been known to the natives of
the interior. Further, the voice of
those who made the first complete
ascent, the members of the Stuck
Karstens expedition, should have
weight and they are strong for the
native name, Denali.
So much interest was shown in his
talk that Mr. Tucker has been ask
ed to speak again soon on his -work
in the Peruvian Andes and the upper
Amazon.

WICKER3HAM NOT
ALWAYS FOR LABOR
Observe What the Ex-Judge Did In
the Tanana Miners’ Strike
of 1908.
Here is a copy of a telegram sign
ed by Judge Wlckersham in 1908 dur
ing the Tanana miners’ strike of that
year. Photographic copies of this tel
egram circulated through the district
the next summer, when Judge Wick
ersham first ran for congress, caused
a majority to be cast against him in
every polling place of the Tanana
outside of Fairbanks. One of these
photographic copies is in possession
of the Democratic committee in Val
dez now. Here is the message:
Fairbanks, Alaska, March 15, 1908.
Silas H. Reid,
Judge District Court,
Valdez, Alaska.
A riot occurred at railroad station
today at 9 a. m., when miners were
attempting to board train to get to
their work. Citizens and officers as
saulted and fired upon; no one shot,
however; but several offenders
wounded; two in jail, other arrests
to follow.
Two bar rooms here are rendezvous
for violators of law, also violating the
conditions of their license applica
tions. In our judgment their licen
ses should be revoked, and we recom
mend that bar room license No. 3580
issued March 23rd, 1907, to Frank
Miller, located at Oarden Island, and
bar room license No. 4738 issued De
cember 31, 1907, to Martin and Koon,
located at Fairbanks, together with
their tobacco license 3541 and 4738,
respectively, be revoked or suspend
ed. Order marshal to close them and
direct clerk to refund license money
for the unexpired term. Conditions
warrant your action by telegram at
GEO. G. PERRY,
United States Marshal.
N. V. HARLAN,
United States Attorney.
EDWARD J. ST1ER,
Clerk of Court.
G. B. ERWIN,
Commissioner.
O. A. WELLS.
JAMES WICKERSHAM.
The circumstances of this affair
are thus detailed by a man who was
in Fairbanks at the time:
“The miners had struck for $6.00
and eight hours, but were willing to
accept $5.00 and eight hours as a com
promise. The banks and the North
ern Commercial company were carry
ing the operators and they refused
to permit the operators to accept the
compromise of $5.00 and eight hours,
and they sent Jack Ronan to Seattle
to bring in 1,500 men, offering $5.00
per day. Ronan collected a large
number of men and sent them over
the trail in March, 1908. The miners
were all In Fairbanks, and Fred Mar
tin and Frank Miller were the only
two saloon men in the town that were
supporting the cause of the miners.
Martin's place was larger than Al.
White’s place in Valdez and Miller’s
was also a large saloon. All other
saloons had practically turned the
strikers out.
"Now, It was necessary to drive the
striking miners out of town before
itonan’s strikebreakers came in over
the trail. The first gang of strike
breakers were on the trail and It was
thought that If the miners were al
lowed to he in Fairbanks they would
get Ronan’s men into the union and
defeat the operators’ efforts to break
the strike.
"There was about 1.500 men in
town and the weather was bitterly
cold. Martin’s and Miller’s places be
ing large and the proprietors friend
ly, they became the resort for all
union men, therefore in order to pre
vent any influence being brought on ■
the strike breakers when they arrived
the union men must be forced out of
town, and to do this their places of
rendezvous must be closed. If Mar
tin’s and Miller’s places were closed
with the thermometer at 45 and 50
below, the men must hunt some oth- j
er place than Fairbanks and then the
strike breakers would not he subject j
to unionizing influence.
"Thereupon the dispatch was sent.,
to Judge Reid, who had been in the
district only a few weeks and had a :
right to rely on the statements of |
the former judge of the court as to
conditions then existing in Fairbanks.
He made the order and revoked the
licenses of Martin and Miller, turning
the miners out to freeze or accept the I
operators’ terms.
“Riot and shooting referred to in
the dispatch was wholly the work of
the deputy marshals for the purpose
of laying the foundation for the mes
sage to Judge Reid. When the cases
were called for trial they were all dis
missed except one. In that the de
fendant was acquitted.”
