JOHN RONAN
Democratic Nominee
Territorial Senator
ELECTION NOVEMBER 7
I was not president of the Mine Own
ers’ Association at the time the letter pub
lished by George Dooley was issued.
My term of office ended September
1st, 1907, when I resigned.
While I was president of the Mine
Owners’ Association it issued no such ord
ers, nor did it discriminate in any way
against union labor. The operators belong
ing to the organization at that time were
paying $6.00 per day instead of $5.00, as
mentioned in the letter published by Mr.
Dooley.

BOOZE BO NUTS FRIEND
The saloon Is a liar. It promisee
good cheer and sends sorrow. It
promises health and causes disease.
It promises prosperity and sends ad
versity. It promises happiness and
sends misery. Yes, It sends the hus
band home with a lie on his Ups to
his wife, and the boy home with a
lie on his lips to his mother; and It
causes the employe to He to his em
ployer. It degrades. It Is God’s
worst enemy and the devil’s best
friend. It spares neither youth nor
old age. Decent society is barring
it out. The fraternal brotherhoods
are knocking it out.
In the production of goods it Is a
rank deceiver as the following shows:
In the lumber Industry, 65.3 per
cent of all expenses, other than mate
rials, is paid out for wages.
In all the industries of the United
States, Labor gets 54.4 per cent.
In thd production of malt liquors.
Labor gets only 20.2 per cent.
In the production of distilled li
quors, Labor only gets 1.9 per cent.
The brewery corporations, largelv
owned by aliens, control nearly all of
the saloons in the United States. That
is a matter of common knowledge.
Labor gets almost nothing out of
the production of liquor except head
aches and dismissals for incompet
ency brought on by drink.
When the brewery corporations are
threatened by an outraged people,
the bloated directors appeal to Itfbor
to come to their rescue.
When the brewery corporations
want to get up a street parade as they
recently did In Cincinnati, they call
upon the Labor unions, their princi
pal victims, to get out and carry a
booze banner.
When the disreputable saloon is
hard pressed by the people with dry
amendments to their constitutions,
the bloated beer monopolist yells for
the laboring man to come to his
rescue. .
The foreign brewery corporations
gobble up everything in the way of
profits of the business.
The laboring man gets only a little
of the drippings that falls from the
cup of the giant corruptionists.
Let the laboring man clean out
this dirty monster of greed that pays
labor only 20.2 per cent of its ex
penses in wages and vote in the gen
eral industries of the nation that pays
54.4 per cent of their expenses in
wages to the laboring man.

HRIKK EXTRACTS
MARINE DISASTERS
Accurate information on tlie sull
ied is contained in an interesting,
irticle by C. L. Andrews, in a recent
issue of the Washington Historical
Quarterly.
The first account of a marine arc
lent in Alaskan waters dates hack to
\ugust, 1772, when the "Discovery"
struck an unknown rock in Queen
“harlotte Sound; and the record since
that time contains the names of dose
:o four hundred ships which met dis
ister on the Northern coast. The
money loss runs liigli up ;nto the mil
lions and while the loss of life has
lieen surprisingly slight considering
Lhe dearth of life-saving stations,
hundreds have paid for the lac!: of
■preparedness" in aids to navigatkm
ind adequate dragnet surveys.
The stories of these wrecks make
iascinating if not blood-cliilting read
ing. To repeat even a few of them
would not be possible here, hut Mr
Andrew's account of the loss of the
steamer “State of California," deal
ing with a catastrophe still vivid in
mind, is by the very reason of its coM
business-like simplicity, so harrow
ing, that it is reprinted here for^alm
effect wliieli it may have in rousii -
public sentiment to more insistent de
mands for adequate protection of Al
askan shipping;
on a Clear, origin U.iy. huriim
17th, 1913, the ship left the wharf nt
the Gambler Bay cannery, awm ;r
around from the landing, and settled
down on her course toward the moutli
of the harbor. Four minutes after
she left the dock an unchartered pin
nacle rock ripped open the bottom
of tbe boat as she passed over. The
ship was headed for shore and the
whistle sounded for assistance. With
in three minutes after striking the
rock the vessel was beached on the
locky shore, and the cannery tugs
were on the way to her assistance.
No sooner had she reached the bench
than the stern settled beneath the
surface and she slid back into the
deep water, taking with her many of
the passengers and crew. The decks
were raised as by an explosion; the
bridge floated off with the captain
shouting his orders ns it drifted
away; the masts went overboard,
smashing the boats that lay in their
path; and the next moment there
was nothing on the surface but a
struggling mass of human beings
among the wreckage. The cannery
tenders and available small boats ren
dered every assistance possible, but
of the hundred and forty-six persons
on board the ship, thirty-live went
down to their death.
