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.
1 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. Generally believed miners favor Ariz
ona 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.
1 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 lntereferes
with the personal rights of citizens.
To all of which I am pledged,

TURKS BE GOOD
IS THE REPORT
\
British Government Threatened To
Wipe the Sultan Off the Map and
He Will Remain Neutral.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 17.—It
is reported here that as a result of
the determined attitude and the
threats of England the Sultan has
promised that Turkey would not take
part in the European war.
The English ambassador was out
spoken in his statements to the Turk
ish government and threatened that
if the Turks aided Germany that Eng
land would make no peace with Tur
key which left her a foot of terri
tory in Europe and besides would
make a vassal state of Turkey in
Asia.
Behind this threat stood a large
force of English warships which had
established a base of supplies on
Lemmons Island, near the Dardanel
les, and the Greek troops had been
mobilized to full strength. The fleet
threatened the Dardanelles and the
Greek troops were preparing to land
on the Black Sea shore of Turkey
and use the Black Sea fleet against
Constantinople.
One report states that Russia is to
have free access to the Mediterran
ean Sea for her Black Sea fleet and
in order to move troops 10 r ranee
to reinforce the allies.
Ladies, Attention.
The committee for the Catholic
bazar and dance to be given October
3, kindly ask the Catholic ladies and
all those who wish to contribute to
the fancy booth, to send their dona
