ALASKA NEEDS A CHANGE BAD!
The American electorate, notoriously indifferent as
returns, almost invariably show, is rebuked from high
quarters in the recent message of the President to the
American Legion. And a warning also comes from the
White House directed by the President to his fellow coun
trymen and women of voting age everywhere:
We cannot retain our liberties under our representa
tive form of government if we do not keep it representa
tive. Too much stress can not be laid on the necessity of
getting out the vote.
The processes of education along this line move slow
ly. In the selection of many public officials, the stay-at
home vote is the balance of power. The discouraging pros
pect of “getting out the vote” usually causes candidates
and campaign managers more anxiety than all the other
issues combined.
Every citizen of Alaska should be greatly concerned
in tomorrow's Territorial election; they should march to
the polls without solicitation; and by all means they
should send Tom Marquam to Washington as delegate
from Alaska. Marquam stands for development and pro
gress of Alaska, for a square deal for all the people re
gardless of race or occupation,for economy and efficiency,
for the homes and other institutions of modern civiliza
tion guaranteed by an unbossed and literate electorate.
The surreptitious, whispering, false letters, state
ments and fake affidavit campaign of the opposition was
exposed conclusively last week.
Why should the Paul-Wickersham-Sutherland party
resort to misrepresentations such as they are guilty of if
their side of the question is the logical one? Thinking
people who might have cast their votes for this party have
become antagonized by the slurs cast upon the Territory
and its citizenship in self righteousness and pride by Su
therland and his adherents.
The men who have been slandered need no defense.
We simply quote the reference as an example of the dis
tortion of the truth and false inferences resorted to by the
Sutherland party in their attempt to gain votes and to
destroy the reputations of any who have the temerity to
oppose them declaring themselves for the right side of
the question.
This smoke screen of false accusations and slander
ous attacks have been made solely because they have
nothing to submit for the bettering of our conditions or
for the correction of our laws that would benefit the resi
dents of Alaska, to the voters as a platform upon which
to seek our franchise* Their inferences against the char
acter of their opponents is certainly not the procedure of
honorable gentlemen, Christians and lovers of truth such
as they profess to be.
Wickersham resorted to these same tactics and was
driven from office but not until he had caused great loss
to the Territory through his unwarranted spiteful at
tacks on capital which was trying to develop the country.
In summing up, The Gateway asks you in all fairness,
what has Sutherland accomplished for Alaska during the
six years he has been in congress ? He has no financial in
terests in the Territory. He looks on us as a meal ticket
only, gives his official residence as Juneau where he has
not so much as a rented house, calls himself a fisherman
but does not even own a halibut line or a fish hook. He
has announced if he is not elected he will make his home
in Massachusetts.
Don't you think it is time for a change? The Gateway
conscientiously believes so and humbly makes this final
appeal to the voters to assist in sending a new delegate
to congress in the hope that Alaska may progress.
PAUL WOULD BE BETTER
The threat of Wickersham and Sutherland that if
Sutherland is defeated they will groom Wm. L. Paul for
delegate is fine.
Mr. Paul, we believe, would make a better represen
tative than Sutherland. He is a brilliant attorney, self
made of native stock and would not, like our present dele
gate, need a Wickersham as a guardian.
