SEWARD MUST HAN E HUSTLERS.
The government of the United States is hustling for
every dollar that the people can scrape together; the gov
ernment is hustling for every live man, ot military age,
present draft, for the ranks, not only for the war and
navy, but for those to engage in shipbuilding, etc.; every
city in the country is hustling t>> keep alive owing to the
main caused by men going to war, to training camps, etc.;
all are hustling for something and Seward should get that
spirit for the war is causing a partial paralysis ot business
in Alaska and all cities must grasp that which will make
up for what is lost.
Seward has just elected city officers and they are
conservative business men, capable of hustling business
for the city.
Hut business will not come to any community until
that community makes an effort to reach out and then al
to r reaching it, get it.
No-..' Seward is making an effort to become a center
for the fishing industry of this section and energy is the
only thing that will secure this objective.
In Seward, besides the city council, there is a commer
cial organization, the Chamber of Commerce. In all cities
of any importance, the Chamber of Commerce takes the
lead in securing business; makes inducements, with the
help of the business men; advertises; boosts, lets the
world know what is going on and what the advantages are
to those who will locate; in fact the Chamber of Commerce
is the live wire organization of the cities.
Now. isn’t it about time that the members of the Sew
ard Chamber of Commerce meet in a get-together session
and arrange for an election of officers? Hustlers should
be elected to every office, including the executive board.
The President, whoever he is, should be a hustler, above
all others, alive to publicity of the kind that goes abroad,
and the organization should have a live secretary, who
perhaps is the dynamo of the entire organization. Oniy
hustlers should be elected or appointed to office. If one
can’t hustle, he has no place in the organization of offi
cers. The secretary should have a sufficient salary, so
that he can secure aid in his office, if he has other duties
to perform, because no one, not paid for their work, can
expect to give valuable time.
With two organizations like the council and Chamber
of Commerce, there is no reason why Seward shouldn’t
take ahold of everything that can be of benefit to the com
mercial growth of the city. And hustling will count.
We have elected a hustling city council—now elect a
hustling staff for the Chamber of Commerce, those who
are going to stay in Seward, unless called by the United
States to the colors, men who will and know how to hustle
when required, and that time is certainly the present.
%ad tomorrow's Post. Now is the time to keep post
ed on everything and the Weekly Post contains the latest
local and telegraphic news.

Chas A. Sulzer
Candidate For Re-election as
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
“In deciding to enter the primal ies 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 iroot
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, ba.*>
placed the country’s war needs above all needs and requirement? and
has subordinated his desires to the military estaolishment ot he
United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly the nation’s call. She has gr on
nor share willingly and unstintingly. NVhen the democratic party
went before the people of Alaska in November, nineteen sixteen, it
stood for a certain constructive prog mm 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 country.
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress
which 1 am pressing for passage as opportunity affords:
“Granting Alaska full territorial fonn of government with homo
rule the dominating principle.
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair
to all and the protection of the ?rdmon supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead law’s by abolishing the oignt\
rod reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated section.".
“Changing the game laws so us to give the people a better oppor
tunity to use the game of the country without its bc»ng slaughtered.
“Ectcnding the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska's insane within the Territory.
“At all times 1 have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the
needs of the territory ami the peopU* of the territory, in spite of t» e
war some measure of progress has been achieved, i have assisted a
parsing a law which helped the prospector by suspend* lg assessment
work on claims du’ iig ihe yeat” nineteen seventeen and nineteen
eighteen. The extension of the w ireless ami cable system in Alaska has
been accomplished with blight 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 trom supplying aim>
posts with cheir 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 desire to serve the best interests of Alaska, I am submit
ting my name as a candidate for the democratic nomination
Delegate to Congress.”
