AS IT now looks there will be too many candidates for the territorial leg
islature altogether. So many are there of the different political parties anti
independents that any body of worthless
TOO MANY CANDIDATES people by sticking together could slip in
between the others. For instance, the
socialists will have candidates, at least in other divisions, and there would be
nothing easier than for those gentry to have a majority of the whole repre
sentation. That would mean degradation for us in the eyes of Washington
and it might mean very material disadvantage to all the people here.
What really ought to be done is to select some good men. There may be
enough good candidates at present running for the purpose, but tho solid and
intelligent people of all the divisions should certainly join to see that the
men elected will not be a disgrace to the territory even if they are not fitted
mentally or professionally for the places. The men to join together are the
workingmen, the prospectors, the business men, the professional men and all
others who would insist that the local legislature should be the place for
transacting the business of the territory and not for the satisfaction of small
and unworthy political ambitions.
Of course, the people of Alaska are generally so intelligent and generous
a people that some good men are sure to get elected anyhow but a few good
men do not make a good legislature. It takes a majority of good ones to do
that and the people should see that there is such a majority in spite of po
litical considerations which are very often only invented for the occasion.
The legislature which Alaska has now is really only a very small and
impotent affair to receive such a name at all. Legislature is another word
for parliament and to call our affair a parliament would be reganled as a
joke, Now, wouldn’t it ?
Hut, one great mission which the legislature could fulfill is to be the real
mouthpiece of all the divisions separately and the whole territory generally
if it were composed of the sort of men who could command the confidence
of Washington. The present national administration is composed of states
men who would be the last people in the world to pay attention to any men
or any body of men who were not of the right and proper kind. The presi
dent is a man who is absolutely clean, absolutely above petty and unworthy
considerations and a man, therefore, who would easily come to despise those
of the traditional wire pulling and self-seeking political cult. And if Presi
dent Wilson cannot harbor respect for the people who represent Alaskans
he can hardly be expected to respect the general body of the Alaskans who
elected them to office.

VOTE FOR
George R. Goshaw
To the Voters of the Third Division:
Af it is impossible for me at this time, owing to the close of the
mining and business season at this placer camp, to come before you
in person, I find it necessary to make this announcement threugh the
medium of the press.
I desire your vote for Senator of the Territorial Legislature, from
the Third Division, at the Election on Tuesday, November the
Third.
My friends have not urged me to seek this office, nor does the
office seek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want your support and
rote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have made no
pledges or promises to any individual, party or concern, and if elect
ed will go to Juneau, absolutely unhampered with ties of any kind;
to do that which will advance the interests of the whole people of
Alaska:—not to go there and vote “aye and nay” during the session,
but to work with a will and a knowledge of affairs, gained from a
considerable experience, especially in this Division, and continue such
work, throughout the year and entire term of office.
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely cast your
ballot for any of the other candidates for this office, THEN VOTE
FOR ME. Yours very truly,
GEORGE R. GOSHAW.

NEWS FROM ALL PARTS'
OF THE NORTHLAND
Press dispatches say Albert John
son, congressional member from
Washington, has introduced a bill in
congress to suspend assessment work
on mines in Alaska for a year. Who
gave Mr. Johnson authority to advise
legislation for Alaska ? Who asked j
him to introduce the bill ? Did he con
sult the wishes of the people living
here? Did he confer with the dele
gate from Alaska regarding the mat
ter?—Juneau Dispatch.
Douglas, Sept. 5.—L. A. Slane, city
assessor for 1014, has finished his la
bors. The property of the city shows j
a substantial increase in valuation,
over last year, as has been true every j
year since the city was founded 12 J
years ago. The assessed valuation of
the property is $540,560 and the city
authorities are in hopes they can keep
the tax levy within 10 mills on the
dollar. |
Judge Calixte Aimes Dugas, pio
neer judge of the \ukon territorial
bench, died suddenly at his old home
in the city of Montreal, Canada, on
the night of the 25th of August.
Since leaving Dawson in the fall
of 1911, when his retirement from ac
tive sendee on the bench took place,
Judge Dugas made his home in Paris,
France, most of the time.
Judge Dugas was sent to Dawson
in 1897 by the Dominion government
as a judge of the territorial court in (
Yukon territory. Prior to that time
he had been a territorial judge in the
Northwest territory.
William McIntyre, former editor of
the Dawson (Y. T.) News brought
suit in the superior court yesterday
against Mrs. Phoebe Roediger, widow
of his former partner, Richard Roedi
ger, and executrix of the latter’s es
tate, in which he asks for $15,130.
McIntyre in his suit says that hej
and Roediger, while partners sold j
their equal shares in the Dawson j
News for $30,000, of which $10,000
was in cash and the rest was secured
by notes. McIntyre says Roediger
collected later on the notes, but that
ho was not able to secure his half, i
before or after Roediger’s death in
1913, other than small amounts. The
$15,130 McIntyre contends is the
amount duo him.—Seattle Times.
