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
nnd inr*rpasf*d waees.
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 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 intereferes
with the personal rights of citizens.
To all of which l am pledged,
Stands on a Constructive and Progressive Platform

Admit Austrians in Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 27.—The
Austrian army has invaded Russia
near the southeast corner of Poland
and the Russian troops have fallen
back towards Lublin. Russian troops
are being rushed to block the Aus
trians and protect the flank of the
Russian invading army, which Is
marching on Berlin,
Austrians Claim Victory.
BERLIN, Aug. 27.—The Austrian
army penetrated northeast from Ga
licia into Russian Poland and drove
back the Russian army, who were
forced to flee in disorder. The Rus
sians fell back to Lublin, according
to the advices received here from
Vienna and are being followed by
the Austrian army, which is making
an effort to reach the flank of the
Russian army invading Germany and
headed for Berlin.
French Take Heart.
PARIS, Aug. 27.—The news of Ger
man defeats by the Russians and the
continued march of the Russians on
Berlin has given new heart and en
thusiasm to the people of this city,
who were discouraged because of the
reverses on the Belgian border and
In Alsace. The success of the Serv
ians in defeating the big Austrian
army at Drina have also given the
French renewed encouragement, as
it is now realized that the Austrians
will soon be forced to weaken their
forces operating against Russia.
Pressure On Italy To Join Allies.
LONDON, Aug. 27.—The British
government is exerting every pressure
upon the Italian government to join
in the fight against Austria-Hungary
and it is said here in unofficial cir
cles that the Italians are expected to
come into the fray at any moment.
Waiting for Public Sentiment.
The Italian government is waiting
for public sentiment to form against
Austria, which has always been the
foe of Italian expansion and when
the danger of a Socialist uprising is
passed the army will invade the Aus
trian provinces.

Captain Aided Passengers To End.
The passengers and crew report
that the last seen of Captain Moore
was when he was assisting passen
gers to get off of the ship to safety,
and that he probably went down with
the sh'p while hunting for any of
his passengers who might not have
been awakened by the crew.
Pilot Obert Nervous Wreck.
Pilot Obert, who remained on the
bridge until the ship went down, and
who was knocked unconscious by
debris from the boa*, is a nervous
WTeck and in a serious condition at
the hospital.
Jammed Freight From Hold of the
8ampeon.
The impact of the big Canadian
steamer when it crashed into the
Sampson forced much of the cargo
out of the hold and it was floating
about on the surface of the bay after
the boat went to the bottom. The
Princess Victoria stayed by until all
hope of finding any more survivors
or bodies was given up and then she
slowly proceeded to eSattle.
Roll Call On Princess Victoria.
The members of the crew and the
passengers were lined up for roll call
before the Princess Victoria reached
Seattle and as each name was call
ed those who were saved answered.
Many hardened sailors were in tears
when they knew that Captain Moore
was among those who were lost and
they wept bitterly. The scene was
most dramatic as the roll was call
ed and the missing were noted.
Stowaway Killed.
Ezra Byrne, a stowaway, was
caught in the debris and was ser
iously injured, besides which the
flames were near him and he begged
that some one would kill him. The
Injured man was rescued only to die
in the hospital here from his burns.
8ampson Lowered Several Boats.
Captain Moore had such perfect
control over his men that several
boats were at once launched from
the Sampson and most of the passen
gers left the Sampson on her own
boats. Captain Moore superintended
the launching of the boat and the
filling of them with passengers.
Few Minutes More and All Would
Have Been Saved.
Had the Sampson remained above
water five minutes longer all would
have escaped. Those on the ship
were searching for any who had not
been aroused when the last lurch
came and she went beneath the wa
ters stern first.
