AL WHITE
Candidate for Alaska legislature
PLACER LAW
I favor a repeal of the existing placer
law passed by the last legislature and be
lieve the 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.
I 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 the 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.
UNJU8T LEGISLATION.
I am opposed to unjust and oppressive
sumptuary legislation which lntereferes
with the personal rights of citizens.
To all of which I am pledged.

New Maple Floor Being Laid and
Building Has Been Enlarged—
New Balcony Erected.
The Valdez skating rink, which has
been closed for the past few weeks
while the building has been enlarg
ed and a new floor laid, will be re
opened in a few days. The owners
n^ve added eleven feet of floor space
on the building, extending the en
tire length of the structure, besides
which a hanging gallery has been
built for the accommodation of the
spectators and also so that the skat
ing floor might be enlarged by using
the space heretofore used by specta
tors watching the skaters.
.James McHie, who is considered
one of the fastest and prettiest skat
ers in Alaska and the holder of many
medals won in compeitions in the
states, has agreed to teach Goldie, the
barber, as soon as the rink re-opens
and predicts that he can make of the
tonsorial artist an excellent skater.
1 Jim Blake, who is also just learning
to skate, is waiting patiently for the
re-opening, as are also a number of
others.
The owners of the rink have pur
chased a hard wood maple floor and
have a force of ten men working to
lay it as fast as possible. When
completed the rink will be one of the
best in the north.

FIRST DIVISION
5,054 Qualified Voters Are Shown By
Records Secured During Poll
On Liquor Question.
Now when so much talk is going
around as to the number of voters
who will participate in the fall elec
tions, the following figures are es
pecially interesting. They indicate
approximately the numbmer of bona
fide voters in the First judicial dis
trict, including Juneau, and give in
formation which has long been
sought and upon which there seems
to have been until now little or no
definite information.
Judge Jennings desired an expres
sion on the question of granting li
censes, and in the eight principal
towns it was shown that there are
5,054 people qualified to express an
opinion on the liquor traffic. Of
these 4.757 favored licensing saloons;
974 were opposed to It; 395 non-conv
mittal, and 297 were not seen. Ju
neau, Douglas, Skagway, Haines,
Ketchikan, Wrangell and Petersburg
were carried by the wets, and Sitka
by the dries and those non-commit
tal.
The results of the enumeration
follows (the question being “Do you
favor the issuance of licenses to sell
liquor?”):
Juneau—Yes, 1,266; no, 424; non
committal, 99; not seen, 27; total,
1,816.
Douglas—Yes, 893; no, 129; non
committal, 54; not seen, 23; total,
1,099.

commmittal, 77; not seen, 76; total,

mittal, 12; not seen, 10; total, 125.
