THE ELECTION
Three days from today the elections will be held for delegate to con
gress and for the members of the territorial legislature.
It should be always remembered that the privilege of the vote is the privi
lege of the free and the weapon which is placed in the hands of free citizens
to insure that the nation shall be governed by with and for the people.
The yote is no toy invented to please citizens by providing them with
the means of satisfying their own personal desires unless those desires are
engendered by the real wish to do what is right. Whenever we vote we should
be influenced only by the wish to vote in the manner that we think best. Of
course the election of a legislature for the territory does not equal in im
portance the election for a national legislature. Our legislature is onlj a
comparatively small and powerless machine, but we should approach the work
ot creating it with just as serious intention as we should approach the work
of electing the most powerful body on the earth.
I pon the personnel of our legislature will depend, perhaps, far more
than we think. Kspeciall) is this true of the present time when the terri
tory has become the protege of the national government and when theie are
great things in store for all of us if we do not blindly place our own actings
in the way.

plans of the great president who has made Alaska his care, for by our
legislature are we likely to be judged in W ashington even though that legis
lature may be as impotent as many believe.
It is unfortunately true that many men approach the polls with a sense
of irresponsibility. It is even true that in really free countries there are men
who would be glad to use the vote for the very defeat of the object which
those who won the popular vote with their blood had in view. There are
men who boast of being the enemies of society although these men have been
raised from slavery through the sacrifices of ancestors who gave
their lives that their unworthy descendants might use their privilege for
the destruction of organized humanity.
There are such men in this broad and free territory of Alaska although
here at least each man has an equal chance. There are men in Alaska who
see in the privilege of voting only the means of venting their spleen on the
successful, and these men are actually represented in the list of candidates.
There are other candidates who have neither the training nor the ability nor
the unselfishness which should be insisted upon in those who make the laws
and the voter who takes even the smallest part in placing such men in legis
lative positions is a traitor to the men who gave freedom to the world and
to the principles of freedom itself.
It is a cowardly self excuse to argue that your one vote can have no ef
fect on the result of the election, anyhow. If you cast a vote for an unworthy
candidate you are guilty of this treason just as much as if your vote alone
elected him, for a man who shoots at another is just as guilty of murder
whether his bullet reaches the mark or not.
Do not think for a moment that President Wilson will not take the per
sonnel of your legislature into account. Ih> not think that if vou elect a lot
of malcontent* to make your laws that the national leKi*lature will be blind
to the fact. Always remember that if you are not true to yourselves you
cannot expect our friendly president to remain true to you.
