The Chamber of Commerce is now planning to hold
besides the regular noon day luncheons once a week, a
dinner at night, once a month. This is a decided good
move by the new administration, as at night the members
are not required to hurry back to business as in the day
time. The dinners can last for several hours and many
important matters can be discussed, time not permitting
at the noon hour.
Next Year, with the railroad between Seward and
Anchorage completed, it will make little difference to the

and in the winter. Anchorage will only be a few hours
different from this city as regards connections with
Seattle and other outside points.

Chas A. Sulzer
Candidate For Re-eiection as
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
. FVom Alaska
“In deciding to enter the primuncs as a candidate for Delegate to
Congress from Alaska, 1 feel impelled to make a brief statement to
the people of the territory. It is now nearly a year since 1 was seated
in the House as Alaska's representative to congress. During the n oat
of this time the United States has been engaged in a world war, and
every resource of the nation, including money and man power is oe
ing devoted to the single purpose of winning this great war . Every
member of congress in considering legislation for the nation, has
placed the country’s war needs above all needs and requirements and
has subordinated his desires to the military estaolishment of he
United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation's call. She has given
her shaie willingly and unstintingly. vVhen 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 of the countiy.
“1 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 ?almon supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead law’s by abolishing the eignty
rod reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
“Changing the game laws so 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 ti e
war some measure of progress has been achieved. I have assisted In
passing a law which helped the prospector by 6uspendi tg assessment
work on claims du**ng ihe year' nineteen seventeen, and nineteen
eighteen. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alaska has
bee n accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
“Recognition has* been forced for Alaska in the matter of appoint
ments to the second senes 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 again go before the people of
Alaska have come to me from A’ackans all over the territory. Reit
erating my dosire to serve the best interests of Alaska, I am submit
ting my name as a candidate for the democratic nomination lor
Delegate to Congress.”
