This Is What an Old Sourdough Says:
The name of Mr. George 1). Schofield, for ATTORNEY GEN
ERAL, was mentioned today in the presence of Captain Charles L.
Peabody who made the following statement:
"Yes, I know Mr. Schofield, and regardless of Ills POLITICS
he is, in my opinion, more than an ATTORNEY, he is a LAWYER
and an ORATOR.
Mr. Schofield is a man of very strong iiersonality, resourceful,
reliable and capable and with Ids wonderful mental ability and his
capacity for rapid thinking, I feel confident that the voting |ieople
of ALASKA are making no mistake in selecting him for their
ATTORNEY GENERAL."
