A FINAL APPEAL FOR A CHANGE
Every citizen of Alaska should be greatly concern-1
ed in tomorrow’s Territorial election; they should march
to the polls without solicitation. The usual surreptitious
whisperings and false statements have been made by the
present delegate to congress against those in opposition
to him and his gang. And on Saturday his name is men
tioned by his henchman Paul who, according to the dis
patch, handed the double-cross to those who had faith in,
him and the incumbent, in connection with accepting the 1
sum of $6,000 to put through trap site leases for three
canneries.
For four years this paper has been endeavoring to
roll back the incumbent’s smoke screen of false accusa
tions and slanderous attacks. Locally, we have succeed
ed but it has been too large a task for our voice to cover
the entire Territory. All papers to the South of Seward
have been likewise opposed him and, like the Gateway,
have been carrying on a campaign of silence as far as he
was concerned for he has the respect of but few news
paper men in or out of Alaska. And he has sadly missed
the voice of the press. For years we have been crying
for a change in delegate to Washington; no matter who,
but a change. We are tired of four-flushing.
The incumbent has no financial interests in Alaska;
he has always looked on Alaska as a meal ticket; noth
ing more. He gives Juneau as his official residence; calls
himself a fisherman and a miner. Just about every other
Oldtimer in the Territory has a tone time been his pard
ner to hear him tell it; he knows hundreds of Alaskans
by name; that’s part of the game He never misses an
swering letters from Alaskans but does he accomplish
what these same letters ask? Not by a d— sight! The re
cepient gets a letter from the incumbent and tells his ma
ny friends what a great chap the incumbent is because
he wrote him a letter; false pride on the part of Alaskans
and pure political bunk from the delegate. He has an
nounced if he is not reelected he will make his home in
Massachusetts.
The Gateway has said little in this campaign for in a
way it has been a disheartening task—and an unpleasant
one we assure you—in fighting for the betterment of
the Territory, our home. On every hand we hear the Ter
ritory is standing still yet at each election the majority
vote to send back to Washington a man who has never
helped Alaska to take her rightful place; there has been
much talk but that was all. And three years ago he drew
Alaska’s fair name through the mud: We wonder if this
last means anything to those who will vote for him to
morrow and again refuse to give any other man a chance.
It is with deep personal feeling for the welfare of
this magnificent country which we have elected to make
our home, that the Gateway humbly makes this final ap
peal to the voters at the polls tomorrow. Our vote goes
to George B. Grigsby, Democratic candidate for Delegate
to Congress from Alaska.
We prefer the sound of the farm tractor to that of
the pilitical detractor.
For one thing, the campaign has supplanted a lot of
jazz music with jazz talk.

ING THE SIDEWALKS OF
NEW YORK
BRROKLYN, Nov. 5, (£*)—Gov.
A1 Smith, Democratic Nominee for
the Presidency of the United States
in a speech directed specifically
to a New York State audience, de
clared against Ottinger, Republi
can gubnatorial nominee; that
they could cease to worry over
prohibition as “I will take care of
that subject by and with the ad
vices of the American people.”
Smith said that Ottinger, now
Attorney General for the State,
has been “Carrying water on bom
shoulders. His atttitude can be
summed up in two words; he is
wet and dry. He has attempted to
be all things to all men on this
subject. His party platform is si
lent as a tomb and he is constantly j
worrying as to how he can get j
over the campaign without be- i
ing compelled to have to say any- j
thing about it.
“I WILL RELEIVE
him of all doubt and worry about 1
that by informing him here to- 1
night. Mr. Hoover will never have j
the opportunity to appoint a com- j
mission for anything. I will take !
care of those things by and with
the advice of the American peo
ple.”
The Governor’s speech was
scheduled over a nation-wide hook
up and climaxed a busy day dur
ing which Smith was escorted
thru the heart of New York’s bus
iness district at the head of a
long automobile procession and
was cheered by thousands lining
the streets.
