When we vote for the territorial legislature we should be particularly
careful to give no support to that un- Vlaskan stuff known as socialism. Right
in this division there are socialist candidates for the legislature now as there
are in other divisions. Of course they are no more socialists than every men
who has sense and believes in real democratic government—government for
the people and by the people-hut they have come to use the name of socialist
and have tooled themselves w,ih the belief that the opinions are solely their
own. They have captured a few ideas from others and with those few ideas as
a bait they try to catch the unwary. . • - • - - *
Many of them, unfortunately, are not blessed with the capacity to see the
utter nonsense of the t topian flapdoodle spouted by the professional leaders
and they dream on of flying to the top of a mountain without the trouble of
working their way upward. «. »
It is perfectly true that the present national administration has done more
for real “socialism" than all the day dreamers that ever mounted a soap box.
It is curtailing the power tor evil ot the trusts while allowing perfect
liberty to those who do not accept liberty to abuse it.
The election to the legislature of those who adhere to the vaporous and idle
rot that has got the name ot socialism would mak** any wholesome mind
ed man wish to f«od that no legislature had never been given to the territory
at all.
The free and open life of Alaska is no place for the diseased sentimentality
that w as horn in slums and bred in ingorance. I he man who is a good union
man and tries to aid his kind, or the manwho believes, as all right men do, that
the poor and the oppressed should be the care of governments is a man who
is a blessing just as much as the agitator against all existing things no mat
ter what they are. is a curse.
The use of submarines and airships in war has come to pass and what our
grandfathers would have regarded as miracles are occurring now without ex
citing the least wonder. Three great cruisers that could have run down the
whole fleet of ancient Greece or ICome are in turn sunk bv a little craft hardly
bigger than a galley of our pugnacious ancestors of the ages past. Centuries
have taught that the largest is the most effective as the centuries to come
will prove that in littleness is strength.
The da> will prohablv come when a holt of electricity or some other
cnergv not yet discovered can be shot from great distance for the destruction
of the greatest war machines or the most powerful defenses. As the imple
ments of war are being transmuted from the large hut ineffective to the
small hut effective so will war itself become converted to the struggle of
brain instead of brawn.

To the Voters of the Third Division:
As 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 through 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
vote.
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.
Chisana, Alaska, Sept 1, 1914.
For Senator
The little son of Frank Berg, of
Nome, was disfigured for life while
practicing warfare on his own ac
count. He had charged a tin can with
powder and fuse, which in some man
ner was prematurely discharged,
rendering him hors de combat. He is
not seriously injured, but his face was
terribly lacerated by the tin.
The Socialists of Cordova have
named their candidates for the Terri
torial Legislature, consisting of I). M.
Lynch for senator and R. E. Hegner
for representative. The remaining
three positions on the ticket will be
filled by nominations to be made by
the Valdez local.
Nome experienced another serious
9ss the early part of the month when
* heavy southwest gale swept the
teach clean and drove the water past
First street. A considerable amount
tf damage was done to property.
Attorney H. L. Faulkner, who
while U. S. marshal for the First div
ision took up the matter of employing
Federal prisoners on the public high
ways has at last succeeded in getting
the obstacles raised by the depart
ment of justice removed. The princi
pal objection was the cost of employ
ing extra guards to watch the prison
ers while at work. A conference was
had with Col. W. P. Richardson while
he was in Juneau the other day and
Col. Richardson, as president of the
Alaska Road Commission, agreed to
furnish an employee of the commis
sion as guard and overseer for the
prisoners. All that will be necessary
now is to get the final consent of the
department and have Marshal H. A.
Bishop deputize the men designated
by the Alaska Rond Commission as
custodian of the prisoners. It is be
lieved that this will be done.—
