A MOST ASTONISHING POLITICAL MOVE
Politicians do queer things and politics make queer
situations. People admire gameness but it seems per
fectly freakless, spineless, inane, for a governor, peeved
at one or two persons perhaps in an organization , to
frame up a spite ticket and place his most willing friend
at the head of the ticket, triend and ticket to go together
up salt river. William Maloney is a great big good na
tured fellow, but as a candidate for Delegate form Alaska,
on a spite ticket, he has sacrificed his good nature for in
noble cause. The spite ticket is not a “strong Maloney
anti-Sulzer ticket.” it is weak, woefully so.
The primaries promise to be a hot attair and if the vo
ters use their common sense and think for the right, the
primaries will be so hot that some candidates will be so
completely done brown that their goose will be cooked for
good.

According to dispatches there is being organized an
Alaska Labor Union in various parts of the north and es
pecially at Juneau, Douglas, Nenana with such an organ
ization at Anchorage. This organization is to enter poli
tics. If this is true the organization should drop the poli
ticians, the walking delegates, the “I am out for a pur
post” man. Then after doing all this—stay out of politics.
I "
If politicians would use the same efforts in perfecting
party organizations and putting up deals, for the good of
the country in the present war, it would only be a few
months before it would all be over and Democracy would
be the winner.
If you can’t buy a thrift stamp, nor a liberty bond,
you can buy a seat tonight for the vaudeville show given
for the benefit of the local chapter of the Red Cross and
that will help some.
