•p.-ak for any other publication, but
as fo» it-elf it has constantly printed
notes on all efforts in behalf of Alas
ka anil '‘ill continue to do so. together
with all other matters of live news
interest.
The allusion to such efforts to pro
cure home rule for Alaska by “one of
oar own citizens long resident here
m Seward." refers of course, to the
feature articles written by M•*. Thomas
i; Drayton and syndicated thioughout
the T’*m«d States. It is unnecessary
to sa,\. that nobody in this community
e.-teems Mr. D;avion both as a citizen
and as a professional writer more
highly than the Editor of the 'iate
way; but to be peifectly frank about
the matte . there are few if any Alas
ka publications with the facilities or
available space for handling such ex
tend'd art eles as he frequently putl;
out. Ami, besides. they are not in
tended for Alaska use. His political
articles are evidently written with the
-o!e view of influencing public senti
ment in the States, where Representa
tive- are elected who have votes in
Congees- However, as a courtesy to
the numerous signers of the above
communication, one of Mr. Drayton’s
characteristic political articles will be
printed in full on Thursday, May 27.
And, it may he said as a matter
of local interest, the same article will
appear the following Sunday morning
in American newspapers whose aggre
gate circulation is said to number sev
eral million copies.
