MUST GET BUSY AT ONCE
At the noondav luncheon of the Chamber of Com
i .erce tomorrow, a special committee of three hustling
members should be named immediately to get busy upon
the matter of making Seward the center of the fishing in
dustrv in this section of Alaska. A committee of three
is all that is required and if the secretary is not on the coin
mittee he should keep in close touch with all movements
of the committee and the committee should see that he is
informed of every step taken. The committee should
have full scope towards making arrangements and then
ieport to the Chamber of Commerce of the whole to se
cure proper authorization. The committee should be un
obstructed. no member of the Chamber of Commerce
"cutting in". There will be ample work for all members
when the first preliminaries are arranged. First thing to
be done is to do that which will bring oil here for the fisli
trmen to use. Arrangements for bait, etc., etc., must be
made and when this is done the score of other details will
follow.
At the meeting tomorrow arrangements should be
made for a get-together dinner on some future night to
talk over the business of the Chamber of Commerce, and
nominate officers. On the matter of nominating and
electing officers, each officer should be nominated and
elected, not for honor, but for his hustling abilities. The
entire line-up should be composed of men who believe in
going after things to get them. Because a man is well
known, that is no reason why he should be an officer. The
man must have business ability. Because he is popular
should not elect him. Popularity is not always that which
(mnotes business conception.
Factionalism, if there is any, should be cut out. Only
in union is there any strength and only in strength can
anything be gained.
From now until the primaries on April 30th, all kinds
of political literature will be sent to voters, through the
mails. Delve below the surface and get to the motive.
"The Booh" is the title of a sheet which carries no name
of publishers at it’s head. Any periodical, whose editors
or publishers are ashamed to have their names appear, is
; periodical to be shunned. "The Boob” is a boob. It is
i he boob oitspring of a petty bunch of boobs, if the word
petty can be used. “The Booh" should be read, but don’t
be a boob and believe "The Boob” writings.
At the rate Seward went for two hours lasting Satur
day raising her quota of the third Liberty Loan, the en
tire subscription will not take so very long, then more can
he raised and Seward will have an honor flag and blue
stars also.
Seward must secure the fishing business and every
one should help. Call up the secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce—he wants some advice, some pointers that
perhaps you can give him. You are helping in this way.

Chas A. Sialzer
i Candidate For Re-election as
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
“In deciding to enter the ptimaiie.s is a candidate for Delegate to
Congress from Alaska, I feel impelled to make a briel 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 irost
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 requirement? ami
has subordinated his desires to the military estaolishment of he
United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nations call. She has gren
her share willingly and unstintingly. vVhen the democratic paity
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 lair
to all and the protection of the mlmon supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead law’s by abolishing the eigiity
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.
“Extending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska s insane within the Joriitorj.
“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 t. e
war some measure of progress has been achieved. I have assisted *u
parsing a law which helped the prospector by suspendi ig assessment
v.ork on claims du* ng the year* nineteen seventeen and nineteen
eighteen. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alaska has
be< n 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 farmers of the interior from supplying army
posts with wheir vegetables are cancelled.
• “Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of
Alaska have come to me from Atackans 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 tor
Delegate to Congress."
