Candidate for Alaska legislature
PLACER LAW
I favor a repeal of the existing placer
law passed by the last legislature and be
lieve tile 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 trie 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.
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 I am pledged.

MEXICO QUIET
SAYS REPORT
But Expected That Catholics ’Will
Head Revolution If Necessary
To Keep Churches Open.
VERA CRUZ, Sept. 15.—The cen
sorship on new from Mexico City
has become very strict and but little
news has leaked out but it is believed
that the condition at the capital is
critical and the American officers
here expect to hear at any time of
an outbreak against the Carranza gov
ernment by those opposed to his or
der closing up the Catholic church
es and schools in the republic.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—The
Mexican Conatitutionalist agency in
Washington gave out a statement to
night in which it contended that
there was nothing threatening in the
declaration of Gen. Villa yesterday
at Chihuahua that he was opposed to
having Mexico ruled by a military
government. The agency says this
“aptly expresses the opinion of ev
ery leader of the late revolution,”
and adds:
"Carranza’s present policy is strict
ly in line with these constitutional
ideas of government. Villa’s straight
forward declaration that he has no
personal feelings against Carranza
should permanently set at rest the
maliciously fabricated report that the
two men are not friendly. Their mu
tuality of opinion on the necessity of
minimizing the influence of the army
in Mexico brings them on a common
I ground of union.”
General Villa’s position, as outlined
to the Washington government, con
tains the following two proposals:
First—A conference of military
chiefs to be called as agreed to at
the meeting at Torreon when the first
Villa-Carranza break was adjusted,
one delegate representing every one
thousand men in the army. This con
vention would designate a man to be
provisional president by the proposed
convention, but he must agree to
abide by the constitution and not suc
ceed himself.
Second—Carranza can be designat
ed as provisional president by the
proposed convention, but he must
agree to abide by the constitution and
not succeed himself.
Villa would have no objection if
Carranza retired as provisional pres
ident and became a candidate in the
general elections. Villa’s followers
are confident that they could defeat
Carranza at the polls. Villa, it is un
derstood from reliable sources, has
let it be known that he does not wish
to enter the presidential race, pre
ferring that no military man here
after hold the reins of power in Mex
ico. It is suggested in many quar
ters that Villa intends to propose as a
candidate for the presidency Emilio
Madero, a brother of the late presi
dent.

The German right has been forced

damage on the Germans.

The garrison also state that the
German guns brought up to reduce
the forts were not superior to the
French guns, which had a longer
range than the big Krupp guns used
at Namur and with which the kai
ser’s soldiers expected to reduce the
forts to a mass of wreckage.
Ready To Invade Germany.
The allies are expected to have
France cleared of German troops
within forty-eight hours and will ‘hen
commence the Invasion of Germany,

clearing the way for a march to the
River Rhine.
