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. |
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 beter 8-hour law and a good and complete election law, as
well as advocating a larger tax on fisheries.
Your. Vote solicited now for Representative to the
Alaska Legislature. Election November 3rd.

Miner* Against Wlck'rsham’s Bill To
8ave Non-resldsnt Mine Owners—
Many Voters Left Fairbanks.
FAIRBANKS, Oct. 21.—The regular
Democratic candidate will receive a
large vote in this division and it Is
believed by many that the present
delegate will hardly be able to cross
the tape ahead of the administration
candidate, although Wlckersham has
heretofore had a big majority In the
Fourth Judicial division.
Many reasons are given for the
change. The change of the day of
election from August to November has
worked against the Wlckersham vote
because many of the men who sup
port him leave the country each fall
after the close of the mining season
and return in the spring. The float
ing population of this division is
strongly for the delegate, but will be
lost to him because of the change
in voting date.
The addition of the women vote is
also an unknown quantity and many
politicals believe that the women will
vote strongly against the delegate.
,The efforts of the delegate to se
cure the suspension of assessment
work upon mining claims owned by
non-residents Is costing him many
votes among the workingmen, who
cioi iu ocd ouij un nuin auu uui
to have work stopped when men are
hungry, and more especially as the
claims upon which the work had not
been done are owned by big corpor
ations and non-residents. The reports
from Nome indicate that the delegate
will receive a smaller vote than ever
because of the Johnson bill.
It is believed here by business men
•returning from Juneau that the First
division will give Bunnell a tremen
dous vote, as the Democratic organ
ization is well organized and the bus
iness interests are working to prove
to the administration the fact thatj
the people of the north appreciate
the legislation secured by President
Wilson for Alaska and will show it
by voting for the regular Democrat
ic candidate. The same reason will
influence many voters in this divis
ion, where things have been going
from bad to worse during the years
that the delegate has been in Wash
ington under a big salary.
The Socialist vote in Fairbanks
will equal that of the delegate’s ac
cording to many wise politicians.
Many voters here are also opposed
to the continual fighting of men able
to help the territory by the delegate,
who refuses to conceal his personal
hatreds and thus prevents gains foi
Alaska. The delegate’s attack upon
Col. Richardson will also# influence
the voters, who prefer to see appro
priations instead of hearing of fights
Wickersham’s continual fighting of
men able and willing to help secure
appropriations and legislation for
Alaska has lost him votes and friends.
His selfishness has lost him workers,
fcis fighting against Col. Richardson
has lost the aid of the miners and
prospectors, who realize the great
good being done by the road com
mission with the limited amount of
funds at its disposal. The business
men are turning against him because
they prefer to have appropriations
and legislation Instead of hearing of
quarrels, while the majority of the
people are inclined to grant the ad
ministration any advantage the elec
tion of a delegate from Alaska may
give them because of the passage by
a Democratic congress at the request
of a Democratic president of more
constructive legislation than has been
placed on the statutes for a decade.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN ON LABOR
Labor is prior to and independent of capitol. Capital is
but the fruit of labor, and could never have existed had labor
not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves
much the higher consideration.—Annual Message to Con
gress, 1863.
So spoke a truly great man. Yet, what consideration does
labor receive from our legislators? What representation has
labor got in the balls of Congrees? You workingmen should
know that as long as you divide your vote between capitalist
candidates, just so long will you neither be represented nor
