FISH BALL STARTS ROLLING.
Seward is off in rhe right direction. Sectionalism,
personalism, all other isms are thrown aside and we are
united in getting the fishermen to come to Seward. But
there must be some inducement to come here. The fisher
men are in the game for business, for remuneration. The
fishing industry is paramount in this pa't of the world,
paramount in the great assistance that it can and will
be for the nation's war. Then Seward, if she acts to the
end, as successfully as she has started out, will be aiding
herself and the nation and the great war. Fishermen are
coming here. Read the article on the first page of today’s
Gateway. Manager Roberts started before Seward did.
Now Seward can back him up: Seward can go better,
bring what he can't and then satisfy ail. The Chamber
of Commerce through Secretary James has started on the
right track and we must all get together to win.
Competition is the life of trade. Bet the city or any
private interest get into the fish game. The San Juan
Company is here ready to get the business and others can
help get it. What helps one helps the other and the fish
ermen and all concerned will be benefited.
The German newspapers admit that the Allies have
put up a strong resistance to the great offensive on the
Western front and also admit that the mud in the Somme
area is preventing the bringing of guns from the rear to
the front. Why in Sam Hill don’t the kaiser shout loudly:
“Onward with God?” .
&
Italy evidently has suspicions of Austrian peace over
tures as the other part of the Allies have of the German
peace moves. Italy urges the nation to beware. Right
—beware of anything that has the “Hun” mark. Austria
is as treacherous, no doubt, as Germany. Seeing is not
believing in this incident, but fight to the finish is better.
Seward has one of the largest fishing concerns of the
Pacific Northwest represented here; Seward is in the cen
ter of the fishing industry and if Seward acts now, and
quickly, Seward will be the fishermen’s mecca.
Tomorrow the campaign for the third Liberty Loan
bond begins. Seward’s quota has been placed at 23,000.
It is up to Seward to raise this amount, secure a flag then
go to it for an additional quota and secure a blue star.
The fishing season is here. Action must be immed
iate to secure a part of the business for Seward. Act to
day, right quickly.

Chas A. Sxilzer
Candidate For Re-election as
DELGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
“In deciding to enter the primaries as a candidate for Delegate i<>
v’ongress from Alaska,] feel impelled to make a brief statement to
the people of the territory. It is now nearly a year since I was seated
in the House as Alaska’s representative to congress. During the most
of this time the United States has been engaged in a world war, and
every resource of the nation, including money and man power is oe
ing devoted to the single purpose of winning this great war . Every
member of congress in considering legislation for the nation, has
placed the country’s war needs above all needs and requirements and
has subordinated his desires to the military estanlishment of he
United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation’s call. She has gi'.en
her share willingly and unstintingly. When the democratic party
went before the people of Alaska in November, nineteen sixteen, it
stood for a certain constructive program which embodied as its prin
cipal elements a wider measure of home rule for the territory, and a
sane and rational policy in the development of natural resources t»nc.
every posible aid to the pioneers of the count! y.
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress
which I am pressing for passage as opportunity affords:
“Granting Alaska full territorial form of government with home
rule the dominating principle.
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will bf rail
to all and the protection of the salmon supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the eignty
rod reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
“Changing the game la\ss so as to give the people a better oppor
tunity to use the game of the country without its berng slaughtered.
“E<tending the federal farm lean*act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska’s insane within the Territory.
“At all times 1 have endeavored to keep constantly in mine me
needs of the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of t -e
war some measure of progress has been achieved. I have assisted <n
passing a law which helped the prospector by suspendi lg assessment
\.ork on claims du» ng the year* nineteen seventeen and nineteen
eighteen. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alaska has
been accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
“Recognition has. been forced for Alaska in the matter of appoint
ments to the second senes of training camps for officers. Contracts
which prevented the farmers of the interior nom supplying aimv
posts with heir vegetables are cancelled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people ot
\laska have come to me from Alackans all over the territory. Reit
erating my desire to serve the best interests of Alaska, I am submit
ting my name as a candidate for the democratic nondnation tor
Delegate to Congress.”
