What I Stand For
I am a candidate tor National Committeeman ot the Republican
Party to be elected April 27th. and I stand for the following principle*:
I am not a politician and never rati for office before. I belong to
no political machine or combine and am under obligations to no cli«|ue
ir faction.
I ant opposed to machine domination in Alaska and if you elect nir
I will take my orders from the people and nobody else.
While my home is in Anchorage, where I received the unanimous
ndorsenient of the Anchorage Republican Club, composed ot over one
.tundred and fifty members, 1 will work tor the entire Territorv of
Alaska, first last and all the time.
1» you elect me I will do my utmost to see that each locality o«
Division shall name the officers of that locality or division, and ! will
fight bitterly the appointment of any one outside of Alaska to an
Alaska office.
Alaska has heeu my home for 23 years, winter and summer, and
I feel sure I know what Alaska needs.
The time has come to put an end to outside dictation in our alintrs
and I believe what Alaska needs Is more firesides and fewer carpel
baggers.
The only way to rid Alaska of machine politicians is to vote
against them. People of Alaska. I am making this fight for you and
I want your help. You deliver the votes and I will deliver the goods.
