George Grigsby, Democratic nomi
nee for Delegate to Congress address
ed an enthusiastic crowd at the Liber
ty Theatre last night. Voicing his be
lt^ that Alaskans should be govo li
ed by Alaskans with the seat of the
government in Alaska* and not in a
city five thousand miles away, he pro
ceeded to tell the people who were
gathered to hear him that even were
u K< publican victory assured on the
National ticket, that it would cut no
ice u far as the territory was con
cerned in its choice of a man for dele
gate to represent it at Washington,
particularly a man who had the in
terests of all the people of Alaska at
heart. Explaining in detail why he
should be returned to Washington to
complete the work that he had success
fully started and how bciug qualified
from experience gleaned from a years
contact With the men of Washington
to speedily get those things that Alas
ka most needed, because these tilings
bad* been written into the Demociatic
platform during the convention at San
Francisco . He spoke of the bills that
he had succeeded in having passed and
these now pending. He mentioned the
things that Noon was advocating and
further stated, these things were the
things that he had succeeded in having
written into the Demociatic platform.
Each plank of the Alaska platform
was fully explained. He told of how
the fishing of Alaska was to be saved
for the people of Afaska, how the wild
game was to be protected by laws
made by Alaskans for Alaskans and
not by eastern sportsmen, how the
roads were to be developed and the re
sources of the territory made into an
assett for the people of Alaska. He
told of how conservation would, be
abolished m how the beaurocratic gov
ernment of Alaska was fast crumbl
ing because of the acknowledged fail
ure of most of the bcauros. He spoke
of the number of vital bills now pend
ing in Congress which affected the fu
ture of-Alaska and of the many pow
erful men of both the Republican and
democratic parties who were interest
ed in the successful passage of these
bills during the next term of Congress.
* The Fisheries bill that will place in
tbe hands of Alaskans the complete
control of the fishing industry-. The
bill that will do away with tire con
servation of timbfcr valuable for wood
pulp manufacture and open up an in
dustry that will speedily grow to huge
proportions. Of the Road bill that will
give to Alaska each year a sum of
inouey sufficient to build' and com
plete the roads so much needed in the
territory. Each and every one of these
bills so vital to the future success of
Alaska are assurred of , speedy pass
age and that they will be made doqbly
assured if the people of Alaska will
srote- fofr the man best qualified to
help get them these things at the com
jag election. He stated that he waa
playing no favorites, that he was cat
ering to no special class, that he did
not expect his friends to vote for him
simply because they were his friends.
He assured them that this was the
first and only time that the people of
Alaska had had the opportunity to
vote for those tilings that were really
needed and wanted and that it was up
to them to get these things by casting
their votes for the man whom they
thought best qualified to help get
these things for them. He stated that
even if he was defeated he would re
turn to Washington and during the
few months left for the completion of
his teiin would do his utmost to get
those things , but that if he was re
turned a defeated man that it would
be doubly hard because the senators
and congress men at Washington
would tell him that the people of Ailts
kat had shown that they did not want
these things by casting their votes
against him.
He urged them to use good com
mon sense and sincere thought before
they went to the polls in November
to cast their vote, because this was
the first election where the people of
Alaska really had a chance to vote
for the things they all wanted . Com
mending the choice of.-the people of
Seward for selecting a man like John
Noon to represent them-on the mission
he was engaged on. Finishing his talk
with the assurance that he would con
tinue to work for the interests of all
of the people of Alaska and promising
a speedy solution to all the vital pro
blems now confronting the territory if
he were returned to Congress he left
the hall with the knowledge that he
would receive a substantial vote fiom
the people of Seward.

j - WHATS THE MATTER i
• i
| •Todatc only forty eight votes have
been $ast in the straw vote contest*.
Most of these votes have been cast by
the men and women who will vote toe
republican ticket. The total count as
shown in the results posted'in the win- ,
dow of the Gateway give the republi
can candidates a substantial majority.
Either this is a true indication of just
how the real election will run or^L is
caused by the lack of interest amo ig
the majority of people in Seward, ibis
straw vote contest may be looked upon
by some of you as a joke or a foonsh
waste of time, but if all of you who
can vote aiui will vote in the coming
elections for the candidate of your
choice will line up and cast your
votes in this straw contest with the
same interest and pride that you will
use in the real election you will d. m
onstrate to the people in other parts
of the Territory that you really are n
terested in the future welfare of Alas
ka. If you favor Cox for Prsident for
the love of Mike do not be afraid to
mark one of the little ballots in he
straw vote contest. If you want to
vote for Harding and feel that Grigs-(
by should also get your vote be hon
est and step in and split the ticket and
reversing the formula split ’em both if
you think it necessary.
The feeling about the coming re
sults of the national and territoiial
elections is running high at the pres
ent time and it will continue to- gather
speed during the next few weeks. If
you fully expect to cast a vote at the
real elections get busy now and mark
one of the little ballots in the straw
#
ote. Everybody do it. Men and wo
men. Republican and Democrat and as
you watch the total vote grow you
vill also be able to determine just
what will be what when the real elec
tion occurs. The other cities who j et
>ur newspaper are watching the result
of our straw vote with more interest
chan you imagine. For Seward, For
yourself and the spirit of progressive
Get-to-getherness mark one of the
Jallots for ti e straw vote. Do it now.
