READ AND DIGEST THIS PLEASE
The people of Alaska at the coming election have be
fore them a Republican ticket headed by the incumbent
and a Democratic ticket headed by Mr. Grigsby. Our pri
mary law makes the placing of a third ticket in the field
so difficult as to prevent it. It accomplishes thereby ex
actly what is was designed for by the great lawyer and
politician who wrote the same.
Not going into the merits of the individual candidates
at this time and their fitness for office we want to draw
attention how they became the nominee of their party
for the offices they are candidates for.
The Republican ticket at the primary was selected
f rom a limited number of names placed on the ballot by
self appointment. The rank and file were not given an
■opportunity to express their idea of whom they would
like nor were the more active members in line with the
powers that be, given opportunity to express their views.
Me venture to state that were it possible to have
third ticket in the field as it was before the present pri
-ary law some of these names would not be on the G. C
v, c know that some of these Republicans ar
opposed to everything the Republican party has stoo
for and still stands for.
*’he Republican party has no platform obligating
(vuci, caiiuiuales in Alaska to any definite policy on any
of the local or National questions.
On the other hand the Democratic party of Alaska
have selected their candidates by divisional caucus follow
ed by a Territorial convention held in Seward. They come
before the people of Alaska with the names of men care
fully selected for their respective offices. Therefor
standing upon a platform which obligates them, if elected
to work for such economic and political betterment as
the Democratic narty in Alaska believed to be best foi
the welfare of the people of Alaska and submitted tc
Hie people for approval on November 6.
Every voter should carefully read this platform be
fore going to the polls.
Every independent voter inclining tothe principles
of the G. O. P. should, at this election in Alaska, vote thi
Democratic ticket as a rebuke to the would-be leaders oJ
their party who actually have assumed a dictatorshij
over the Republican party in Alaska; repugnant t<
Americans and against the true principles of a fre<
American Democracy.

Qafdrooms—maid, barber and valet services—library — buffet soda
fountain — beautiful observation cars—all steel — newest and finest
equipment across America. Leaves Seattle 11:00 a.m. daily for Chicago.
With the contract for the build
hig of a temporary bridge across
Lowell Creek at Third Avenue and
xor the removai of the Fourth Ave
nue bridge and replacing thereof
lei to the Warrack Construction Co.
of Seattle, work on these operations
will doubtless begin tomorrow.
The Warrack Co., which is putt
i> g in th£ Lowell Creek flood con
trol flume was the only logical bid
der, since it has the necessary
equipment on the ground and in
fact it was the only bidder at the
call of the Alaska Road Commission
to submit a bid, according to James
Truitt, engineer for the Commis
sion who has general supervision
I of the Lowell Creek job.
The expense involved in the three
itinerations totals about $2250 which
j expense will be stood by the Road
! Commission. The question of re
p’acing the Third Avenue bridge is
now agitating the minds of the
City Council most of the members
of which are of the opinion that a
rael bridge should go in there at
ar expense of some $1500 now
which may be doubled if the matter
is allowed to hang fire while the
temporary bridge is torn out.
