JOHN RONAN
Democratic Nominee
Territorial Senator
ELECTION NOVEMBER 7
I was not president of the Mine Own
ers’ Association at the titne 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 organisation at that time were
paying $6.00 per day instead of $5.00, as
mentioned in the letter published by Mr.
Dooley.

Wtrkknu to the AJciImI
A recent study of how one thou
sand workingmen spent their spare
time and their spare cash indicated
that by tar the largest amount of
spare cash Is spent for beer—23 per
cent of the total. If one were to in
clude beer, wine and whisky the
amount of spare cash spent by work
ingmen for intoxicating ■ liquor will
amount to 34 per cent of the total.
These percentages are not of the total
amount earned-*—they represent the
items over and above what Is required
for the necessities of life.
The economic aspects of the liquor
problem are of vital importance to the
workingman. According to the de
fenders of the saloon, one million
workingmen would permanently be
thrown on to the labor market follow
ing the introduction of national pro
hibition. This argument Is based en
tirely upon the absurd proposition
that if the LIQUOR DEALERS fail
to get the money now spent for beer
and whisky NOBODY ELSE will get
it. It is assumed that If a man doei
not spend a dollar for boose he will
throw that dollar into the sewer or
into some kind df a bottomless pit, in
stead of using ft to purchase some
other commodity which will do good
Instead of harm, which will have i
permanent value and which will give
the workingmen of the country more
work, more wages, and greater pros
perity every way than If the same
amount of money were spent for beer
and whisky. '
A good deal is being said about the
enormous amount of capital invested
in the liquor industry* and yet, accord
ing to the Statistical Abstract of the
United States, for every $1,000,000
Invested in the average Industry,
practically four times as much wagc3
are paid, and four times as many
workers are employed as Is the case
in the liquor Industry.
Let us take five leading industries
in the United States and compare
them with the liquor business with
reference to the number of wage earn
erns employed. For every $1,000,000
invested in each of these Industries
the following number of wage earners
are employed:
Liquor, 77; iron and steel and their
products, 284; paper and printing,
367; leather and its products, 469;
textiles and their finished products,
678; lumber and its manufactures,
679. These figures prove that the
iron industry employs nearly four
times as many, paper and printing
nearly five times as many, leather six
times as many, textiles seven and one
' half times as many, and lumber seven
| and one-half times as many workers
tor every $1,000,000 invested as does
the liquor industry. * •'
As a matter of fact, however, more
workingmen lose their Jobs because
saloons are OPEN than would be the
case were the saloons to be CLOSED.
As somebody put it, “When liquor
puts a man out of a job it unfits him
for another job. When no-license
puts a bartender out of a job it makes
him a wealth-producing workingman
Instead of a wealth-destroying work
ingman. It is better that the barten
der should lose his Job and get a bet
ter one than that dozens of his pa
; irons should lose their jobs and be
unfitted for any job."
The advocates of the Baloon who
carefully tell us that drinking beer
and whiskey is good for a man, re
mind us of the chap who would have
us patronize the undertaker because
he needs the money. The working
man is up against a good many diffi
cult problems. His home isn’t all it
bhould be. His wages are lower than
they ought to be. He doesn’t have all
the joys that he deserves and needs.
But when he puts h!s home and his
joys into the safe-keeping of the sa
loon interests then it’s “good night’’
to the best things in human life.

Text of the morning sermon, St.
John 10:30: “I and my Father are
one.”
The sermon suggests that God
dwells in us. By this thought we are
being made to feel that religion is
concerned with how we should live
our lives here, rather than how they
shall be in the hereafter. We are be
coming conscious that heaven is with
in ourselves, rather than that it is re
moved from us at some remote place
in the starry universe; that we can
make our own heaven by our own
manner of living, by our own realiza
tion that we are a part of the great
Divine principle.

The Valdez llepuhlicun Club ap
peals to all Republicans of the town
to vote for C.eorge D. Schofield for at
torney-general of Alaska. Any citizen
cun vote for him conscientiously be
cause lie is a man of ubility and in

We ask Republicans to vote for
Mr. Schofield because we believe the
Republican party will soon return to
power, and every Republican ought
to cast his vote so as to show that the
party is strong in Alaska. Mr. Scho
lield is the only Republican nominee
for whom the territory can vote, and
his support will be a test of party
strength.
Kinally, the rule has been made
that representation in future Repub
lican conventions shall he based on
the vote for Republican territorial
candidates at the last preceding elec
tion. This rule has been approved by
the Republican national committee.
Accordingly, representation In the
territorial convention of 1918 will be
based on the vote for Schofield next
