In a communication to the Fair
banks News-Miner, appearing in
the columns of it’s issue of Sep
tember 10, a writer, signing him
self, or herself, “Valdezean”, ably
takes up cudgels in behalf of Sen
ator Tony Dimond and rebukes his
opponent, James Wickersham, for
his ungentlemanly reference to
Mr. Dimond’s lameness, in a speech ;
at Fairbanks. The writer says:
“After reading your story of
Wickersham’s speech in your issue
of August 30th, and the Delegate’s
spiteful attack on his opponent,
Tony Dimond, I cannot, as a Val
dezean, let this uncharitable at
tack on “Tony’s” infirmity pass un
challenged or unanswered. Not
that Tony Dimond needs an apolo
gist in this town, or, for that mat
ter, in any town that knows him.
He will, no doubt, answer Mr. Wick
ersham in his own good time and
in a far abler manner than your
correspondent.

JAMES
on His Record
“Passing over all the bunkum in
the Delegate’s speech of the great
things he has done for Alaska and
the old pioneers’, recalls to my
mind a decision he made—some
27 years ago, when he was on the
bench in Fairbanks—regarding the
locator of a placer claim, having to
find pay on his claim before he
had a legal right to it. Thus pav
ing the way, as was intended, for
the jumper to step in and reap the
benefits of the prospector’s labor.
“It is to laugh to read what the
learned judge tells us of his “pion
eering” days. Any old-timer in
Fairbanks can tell of the trails
that he broke—wrapped up in a fur
robe on a sled.
“But while the then judge was
I clearing a path in the wilderness
(as he would have us believe) what
was Tony Dimond doing? (Your
correspondent “Swede Sweden”
was correctly informed). At that
time he, with only the strong arms
and straight body that was his in
heritance from a clean ancestry,
assisted only with a sharp pick and
a long-handled No. 2, was endea
voring to get to bedrock on his
claim on Chittitu Creek. It was
while returning in the fall from
that claim, that he met with the
accident that caused, as our Dele
gate so humorously remarked: ‘the
game leg.’
“How hard up must our Delegate
be when he has to try to raise a
laugh (although I would gamble
the effort was a rank failure—if
not I don’t know Alaskans after
living among them for 35 years) by
referring to an affliction that
drove a young man from the life
that he loved.
“It was only after lying in the
Cordova hospital for more than a

quire at Bob’s Garage.
year, with that ‘g^me leg’, that
Tony was convinced that he would
never more be able to roam tho
hills that he loved so well. Then,
and not until then, did he decide
j that he would have to practice law.
| He had graduated with honor from
. an Eastern law school, but the call
! of the wild had proved too much
for him and he gave up the bril
liant future that was before him
I to delve in the hills, like so many
more of us, for the ignis fatuus,
•jgold.
“How eminently successful Tony
Dimond has been in the profession
tha’t his ‘poverty and not his will’
obliged him to follow, is shown by
his employment by the ‘great in
terests’ that the Delegate is so
wrathy about.
“These great interests to which
he refers, are no dpubt, the Alaska
Steamship Co. These companies,'
like the F. E. Co., in ycur part of
the country, are not looking for
shyster lawyers. When an attor
ney is retained by one of these
companies, it means that he must
have Ability. That is what we want
in Washington.
"I can remember, many years
ago, that the Delegate, then a
judge, was an applicant for the
attorneyship of the same Alaska
Steamship Co. Could there be an
element of ‘sour grapes’ in the
Delegate’s attack?
“But allowing that Tony Dimond
gives his clients the best that he
has, has anyone accused him of
playing unfairly? In the several
cases of claims for damages for in
juries received by employees of the |
Alaska Steamship Co., and its sub- .
sidiaries, the Copper River &
Northwestern Railway and the i
Kennecott mine, has any employee
ever claimed that he did not get a ;

square deal when it came to a set
tlement? A square deal for both
employee and employer. I will ven
ture to say that every man who
had a claim against the company
that Tony represents, will vote for
him for Delegate to Congress. And
I will also venture that any of the
officials of the same company, that
are entitled to vote, will cast their
vote for him next November. Why?
Because they all know that Tony
Dimond, although his leg may be
a trifle crooked, is straight. His
head is straight and his heart is
straight and his tongue is straight.
As stiaight as his mind.

tired of the taste. That’s partly
because Chesterfield uses just the
right amount of Turkish tobacco
to ” season” the mild, sweet Do

Too much Turkish makes a
heavy-smoking cigarette . . . too
little takes something away from
taste and aroma. Just enough of
the right kinds of Turkish to
