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.
1 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.
UNJUST LEGISLATION.
I am opposed to unjust and oppressive
sumptuary legislation which intereferes
with the personal rights of citizens. *
To all of which I am pledged,

WANT DAMAGES
SAMPSDN DOCKING
SEATTLE, Sept. 21.—Late Satur
day night the attorneys for Philip
McCaul and his wife, passengers on
the ill-fated steamer Admiral Samp
son when she went down, started suit
against both the owners of the Ad
miral Sampson and the Princess Vic
toria, claiming in the complaint that
both steamers had failed to heed the
fog whistles of the other and were
going at full speed when they struck,
whereas they should have been stop
ped when they approached one an
other. Six thousand dollars damages
is demanded because of the ducking.
Mrs. McCaul asserts in her complaint
that she was forced to stand in wa
ter to her waist trying to reach the
Princess Victoria ladder and was
pushed about by the steerage passen
gers who cowded her away. She al
so was forced to hold her child oveV
her head to save it from drowning.
GUTTER TM

Strikes 450 Miles West of Unimak
Pass—Senator Starts for Scene
—Japs Cannot Help.
The Admiral Evans, which arrived
at Valdez this morning, reports hav
ing received a wireless report from
the revenue cutter Tahoma, which
had sent out an S. O. S. call at 9:30
last night, when the government boat
struck the rocks 450 miles west of
Unimak pass, but just at what point
is not known.
The steamer Senator, which had
passed into Bering sea en route to
Nome, heard the call and immediate
ly put back for the scene to aid the
cutter,
A Japanese #varship also answered
the call but stated that they could
not render any aid because of the
war, which required them to take no
chances with their vessel by running
'into needless danger on the un
known coast of the Aleutian Islands.
Just how bad the cutter’s position
is cannot be known until more details
are received, but it is feared that
because of the terrific storm which
has sw-ept the north Pacific the past
few days that she may be in a bad
way.
