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.
X favor the enactment or a law malting
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 citisens.
To all of which I am pledged,

AMERICAN LINER
TAKES THE MAIL
S. S. Philadelphia Leaves New York
With Large Mail—First U. S. Ship
With Mail In Many Years.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—The Ameri
can liner Philadelphia sailed from
here today for Liverpool, inaugurating
the first American mail service to
Europe since the early seventies,
when the American ships were drop
ped from the mail service because of
the faster and larger English ships
and later the German vessels.
The Philadelphia also had a large
number of reservists for France, who
are going first to England and then
to France to join their regiments.
The steamer has six hundred tons
of mail of all classes, besides much
express matter. Mail for Germany
was also sent via Holland and will
be forwarded to Holland and thus
sent to its destination. The treaty
regarding mail provides that first
class mail shall not be disturbed by
belligerents.

PORTLAND, Me., Aug. 19.—Colonel
Roosevelt, in an address here last

Progressives, who were badly beaten
at the last primaries, have all re
turned to the Republican party and
the colonel made his appeal for the
return of the G. O. P. congressmen

have been driven from the party in
Maine and that his organization will
fight them in every state where ma
chine: politics are allowed to pre
vail in the party.

PRESIDENT SIGNS
SHIPPING BILL
Foreign Ships May Now Be Added To
American Merchant Marine—Will
Help German Companies.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19—President
Wilson this morning signed the ship
ping bill allowing foreign vessels to
receive an American register and to
operate under the American flag. The
bill was passed to enable the Ger
man merchant vessels now interned
in the United States to take out an
American register and again operate
between America and Europe and
thus aid in taking the immense ship
ments of wheat, corn, beef and oth
er foodstuffs now waiting on the
docks for shipment to England,
Fracce, Belgium, Spain, Italy and
other countries in Europe where the
war or the mobilization of troops has
curtailed the harvests.
No foreign ships are to be allow
ed to enter the coasting trade call
ing at more than one port in the
United States and this service is to
be reserved strictly for American
built and manned boats.
A strong protest was made by
American steamship owners to the
president asking him to veto the bill,
claiming that as soon as the war was
over the German ships would again
return to the German government and
that the only effect of the bill would
be to prevent the construction of
American ships and allow' foreign
built ships to secure an American
register when they wished.
It is still believed here that the
English government will protest to
the State department against the
granting of the protection of the Un
ited States to the German ships.
Friends of the administration, how
ever, assert that Secretary of State
Bryan would not have aided the pass
age of the bill and would have re
quested the president to veto it if he
had not received assurances from the
British government that they were not
opposed to the provisions of the meas
ure.
STATE PRIMARIES

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 19.—The

publican parties.

Street Cars Operating In Paris.
PARIS, Aug. 19.—The street car
system of this city is again in oper
ation. When the call for mobiliza
tion came on August 3rd the men of
the reserves, who were working on
the line, dropped everything and left
for the front. The street railways
have now secured old men enough and
in many instances women and girls
to operate the line, which, however,
is only done during the day.
Women Taking Places of Men.
The women of France have come
forward and are taking the places of
the men who left for the front. They
are acting as porters, clerks, conduct
ors, cab drivers, chauffeurs, factory
hands and in fact every business that
they can enter in order to keep the
industries of the country going.
