VOTE FOR
AL WHITE
For Representative.
He Will Stay By Valdez and
Support the Peopled Policies.
The platform printed below was submitted to the voters of
Valdez last City Election. I can truthfully say now that I have
lived up to every section of that platform except section 4, which
was impossible to fulfill owing to the city’s finances.
The following platform was submitted April 7th, ’14:
- i . TQ TH£ VOTERS OF VALDEZ.
If elected to the Council on Tuesday, April 7th, I pledge my
support to the following platform:
1. I favor an 8rhour 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. • i
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 the 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
ple of Alaska now demand, such as a repeal of the placer law,
a better S-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.

SEE THIS LETTER
FROM WICKEHSHAM
The Judge Wrote Thl» to Hoggatt
Upholding Governor** Fight
On Home Rule.
Now here is a letter which Judge
Wickefsham does not circulate, al
though it ought to make good read
ing in one of his "dinky” papers:
Fairbanks, Alaska, Jan. 9, 1907.
Hon. Wilford B. Hoggatt, Governor
of Alaska, Washington, D. C.
My Dear Governor: The Fairbanks
Daily Times is owned by one L. B.
Anderson, who has made a little
money out of a mine near town and
seeks to enjoy it that way. I send
you herewith a copy dated January 8,
containing an account of a public
meeting which Mr. Anderson called
for the purposes of roasting you and
damaging the territory in congress
as much as he could. You will no
tice carefully from the numerous
speeches that Mr. Anderson made be
fore that little meeting that he is
an old rebel soldier from Alabama.
Describe! Anderson’s Hatred.
“He is ‘po’ white trash’ from Ala
bama, and I informed that he got his
title as captain from commanding a
crew of men on a railroad In Texas.
He is a Democrat of the virulent
type and Is the backbone of the Dome
creek mining cases that have given
me so much trouble. He established
his newspaper for the purpose of try
ing the mining cases. He recently
gave the president a great roast for
supporting you on the territorial
question and has damned every offi
cial in Alaska that he is acquainted
With. His hatred for the flag of his
country and all of its officials is pro
nounced, from Mr. Roosevelt down to
myself, and has given all kinds of
assistance to the fight against me es
pecially. I send you this paper and
his admission of his Confederate rec
ord with the additional information
that he is a vicious old Democrat,
just to show the character of the
fight that is being urged against me.
I do not suppose that it will annoy
either you or the president very
much, but being so close to home
it is sometimes very annoying to me.
Hoyt's Report Discussed.
“I have received notices in the past
few days that Mr. Hoyt's report was
against me. I was somewhat disap
pointed, though not surprised, at his
report. His actions here were certain
ly the most remarkable that I have
ever seen from a lawyer who repre
sented the president of the United
States. My friends are gathering evi
dence which shows beyond any doubt
that his action was the result of a
preconcerted determination to do just
what he did; I suppose he really ex
pected to be able to do more when
he came here, but found there was
no basis for it, so he swelled up with
his own importance and found that
I ought not to be reappointed on
general principles. I still have con
fidence that the president of the Un
ited States is a man of such discern
ment that neither McCumber nor
Hoyt, nor a combination between
them, could mislead him.
Regret* Wa»key Course.
I regret very much that WaBkey and
Cale have started oH on the mistak
en idea of putting territorial govern
ment ahead of all other things for
Alaska. It certainly Is a great mis
take, and one which will cost the
territory dear. You are right In op
posing it and you ought not to hesi
tate. The population Is too sparse
and the taxable wealth Is too small
to sustain local self-government. The
population is unsettled, and probably
out of the 6,000 or 8,000 men In this
mining camp not a hundred of them
will admit that they intend to remain
In the territory the rest of their
lives; nor would one-tenth of them
remain If the placer mines were work
ed out as they are in Dawson, and
will be here Inside of a few years.
The real difficulty In considering this
matter Is that so many do not note
the difference between the theory of
local self-government and the brutal
fact.
Against Self-government.
When an argument Is started a ma
jority argue strongly In favor of the
theory, and the theory is undoubtedly
correct, but when they are pinned
down to the ract as to whether or
not the time has arrived for the es
tablishing of a local self-government
most of them hesitate. It is my Judg
ment that a large majority of the
people or this district are opposed to
local self-government, although there
is no difficulty in scaring up resolu
tions in Fourth of July language in
favor of It. You should pay no at
tention to suoh resolutions except to
try to explain to congress and the
president that they come from a
small number of people with noth
ing else to do, and are simply good
mturedly mistaken about what to do.
They are generally good citizens, but
their theories are a long ways ahead
of the needs of the country. This let
ter is confidential and it Is not in
tended for anyone but you, since 1
always refrain from expressing my
opinion on matters of public inter
est on account of my position. I
only wish to encourage you to stand
by the true needs of the territory,
notwithstanding the denunciations of
some ‘po’ white trash’ like Mr. An
derson.
Trying To Influence Editors.
Incidentally, 1 have recently been
talking with the editors of the two
other local papers. While they get
off wrong on the question of local
self-government, I have tried to per
suade them that we need some other
legislation for Alaska, and that to
fight congress and the president over
a theory Is altogether wrong and a
waste of real necessities. I hope to
see them In the right frame of mind
with a recognition of, your courag
eous stand, but It will take time to
bring It about.
The camp Is prospering wonderful
ly; we have had an unusually pleas
ant winter and are now having a
heavy fall of snow, ^jrhich augurs well
for the cleanup in the spring. I judge
the cleanup for next year will be
greater than 110,000,000, and new pay
streaks are being located, extending
down the Chataneka river. The coun
try never looked better.
Please remember me kindly to the
vice-president and to Senator Hem
enway, and to any other of my
friends whom you may meet Very
truly yours,
JAMES WICKERSHAM.
