VOTE AT THE PRIMARIES TOMORROW
Between the hours of S tomorrow morning and 7 in
the evening, the Territoral primaries will be held in Sew
ard and all other parts of Alaska. Tomorrow men and
women can vote on a candidate for delegate to congress.
At present, Charles A. Sulzer is the Delegate from Alaska
He is a good Delegate and should be retained. But an
other is running on the Democratic ticket making a con
test. C.o to the polls, ask for a Democratic ticket and
then vote for Sulzer for renomination.
The people of the United States are now on the last
week of the third Liberty loan campaign. If all places
were like the Alaskan cities, the loan would have been
subscribed and over before this time. According to in
dications the people of the nation will rally on the home
stretch and win out by many lenghts.
If the weather doesn’t soon behave, and become de
cent, some frightful things are going to be said. Here is
one slap on the wrist—"The weather is the limit.”
In (me of the late Seattle papers received in Seward,
was an accout of two suicides, both men, despondent be
cause they could not find work. And yet there are some
leaving Alaska, where labor is scarce, to run the same
gauntlet as the two who took their own lives.
Just to make Londoners feel interested, the Germans
announced that their long-distance gun work on Paris
was just a trial previous to bombardment of London. The
Germans certainly have the mean disposition.

CHas A. Sulzer
Candidate For Re-election as
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
“In deciding to enter the primaries as a candidate for Delegate to
Congress from Alaska, I 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 ir ost
of this time the United States has been engaged in a world war, and
every resource of the nation, including money and man pow’er is oe
ing devoted to the single purpose of winning this great war . Every
v member of congress in considering legislation for the nation, has
, placed the country's war r.-vds above all needs and requirements and
has subordinated his desire to the military estaolishment ol he
United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation's call. She has gh 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 and
every posible aid to the pioneers ol the countiy.
“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 be fair
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 laws 60 as to give the people a better oppor
tunity to use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
“E<tcnding the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska’s insane within the Territory.
“At all times I have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the
needs of the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of the
war some measure of progress has been achieved. I have assisted *n
parsing a law which helped the prospector by suspendi ig assessment
% ork on claims du*ng ihe 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 series of training camps for officers. Contracts
which prevented the fanners of the interior from supplying army
posts with their vegetables are cancelled.
“Suggestions and requests that I Jigain go before the people of
\laska have come to me from Akirkans all over the territory. Reit
eiating my desire to serve the best interests of Alaska, I am submit
ting my name as a candidate for the democratic nomination for
Delegate to Congress.”
