The platform printed below was submitted to the voters of
Valdez last City -lection. I can truthfully say now that I have
lived up to every .ction of that platform except section 4, which
was impossible to ,'L Ifill owing to the city's finances.
The following *>latform 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. 1
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 the1 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

a better 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..

NEWS OF VALDEZ
DOPED AT JUNEAU
Pipe Dreamer On Dispatch Paints
Lurid Picture of Desperate
Politics Here.
Here is a dope story worth read
ing. printed In the Juneau Dispatch aB
telegraph news from Valdez:
VALDEZ, Oct. 16.—Last Thursday
night was the greatest political night
in the history of Valdez. Not since
the mass meeting demanding justice
following the Keystone riots was
there such an outpouring of people aB
that attending the second Wicker
sham meeting tonight.
Wednesday Delegate Wlckersham
left here in a launch for Cordova.
He had scarcely cleared the harbor
limit when the Daily Prospector is
sued an edition savagely attacking
the departing delegate. But the ele
ments proved false to the newspaper
supporters and the launch was forced
to return a few hours later owing
to bad weather, and immediately the
supporters of Wickersham, assisted
by many other residents disgusted
at the unwarranted attack on Wick
ersham, arranged for a hall for last
night, and in fighting trim the Alas
ka Liberator tore into Mayor Ritchie
and his paper. The address of the
delegate was interrupted time and
time again by cheers as he persistent
ly reviewed in no uncertain terms
the political history of the newspaper
and its supporters. The Keystone
shooting was rehashed in its gory
details, the Alaska Syndicate held re
sponsible for the shooting and the
newspaper editor branded as a traitor
to the community.
Several attempts were made to in
terrupt the speaker but in each in
stance the audience arose as one man
demanding that the delegate continue
to answer the cowardly attack of the
newspaper.
Delegate Wickersham has received
many wires from Fairbanks support
ers that his presence to insure a
sweeping victory in the Tanana is not
essential, and it iB not certain he will
go inside or return to finish the cam
paign in the First division.
Delegate Wickersham denied em
phatically any connection with the
Johnson mine assessmnt bill.
Delegate Wickersham unmercifully
scored the Alaska road commission
for attempting to defeat the railroad
bill.
Valdez readers will readily observe
that this moving word picture is fairly
accurate except in the following min
or particulars:
1. The Prospector containing an ac
count of Judge Wickersham's first
speech and reprinting some of his let
ters and messages to Steve Birch in
1908 was printed in the first issue fol
lowing the speech and before he left
town.
2. The Prospector is not Mayor
Ritchie's paper. He has not had con
trol of it nor been concerned in its
editorial management since Septem
ber, 1910. He was in Seward during
all the time Judge Wickersham was
in Valdez. The "Alaska Liberator”
did not "tear into” the mayor, nor
mention, his name, possibly for the
reason that he and the mayor are on
good terms personally, although they
split politically two years ago on the
bull moose issue.
3. The delegate did not attack the
history of the Prospector during the
years when a real anti-Guggenheim
fight was on, in 1908-’09-’10. It would
have been rather awkward to do so,
because in those years the Prospotor
was a pronounced supporter of Judge
Wickersham, and its support was high
ly appreciated by him, as letters over
his signature and still in existence,
but never published, abundantly at
test. Neither did that support ever
cost Judge Wickersham a smooth
quarter, nor did the editor ever ask
him for a personal favor, as Judge
Wickersham will no doubt freely ad
mit. In those days some men were
running Guggenheim organs for mon
ey, who are now running “dinky”
Wickersham papers for—whatf
4. Nobody tried to interrupt the
delegate’s speech and no riots were
threatened.
6. Judge Wickersham did deny all
connection with the Johnson mine
assessment bill, but did not comply
with the Prospector’s challenge that
he read Congressman Johnson’s tele
gram to him holding him responsi
ble for the bill.
6. Judge Wickersham did attack
the road commission for charging that
it had opposed the railroad ’ bill, but
offered no proof exopt his own word.
The head of the road commission Is
on record in writing In favor of the
railroad bill.
Barring these little slips the Dis
patch “dope” is approximately correct
in a slip-shod way.

BASKET BALL GAME
8katlng Rink Filled—Game Wai Ex
citing and Valdez Wins the
First Honors.
The game of basket ball last night
between the team from Fort Llscum
and the Valdez basket ball club team
resulted In a victory for the local
team with a score of 8 to 7.
The game was exciting and Inter
esting and In the first half the Lls
cum team had the best of It because
of the errors made by the Valdez
boys, which gave the Llscum team
many opportunities to try for goals.
Had they been successful each time
In throwing when given the oppor
tunity because of the fouling by Val
dez members they would have walk
ed away with the game. Ober, the
Valdez guard, played an exceptional
ly good game and was the mainstay
of the local five.
The Valdez team was charged with
eighteen errors, while the Llscum
team were penalized only eight times.
Dr. Miester, of Fort Llscum, and
Keesler, of Valdez, refereed the game.
The line-up was as follows:
Valdez—Kiel, c; Ober, f; Saling, f;
Cavenaug, g; Daykln, g. Ritz substi
tuted for Daykln in the second half.
Fort Llscum—Gifford, c; Fisher, f;

Labor b prior to and independent of capitol. Capital b
but the fruit of labor, and could never have existed had labor
not first exbted. Labor b superior to capital, and deserves
much the higher consideration.—Annual Message to Con

So spoke a truly great man. Yet, what consideration does
labor receive from our legblators? What representation has
labor got in the halls of Congress? You workingmen should
know that as long as you divide your vote between capitalbt
just so long will you neither be represented nor
considered.
Wake Up! Vote just once for yourselves through a party
controlled by Workingmen. Vote the Socialut Party Ticket.
