STANDS SQUARELY ON PLATFORM
Former Delegate George B. Grigsby and Democrat
ic nominee for Delegate this year clearly set forth in his
recent statement in this paper, his aims and ambition as
regard his work in the Congressional Halls, should the
residents of Alaska elect him in November. He stands
squarely upon the platform of his party—the demand
for self-government in Alaska.
No great promises are put forward as bait to voters
but in simple and therefore plain manner Mr. Grigsby
wants Alaska to have a full Territorial form of govern
ment including jurisdiction over the fisheries and game.
He will demand a repeal of the .Alaska Bone -Dry
Law with power vested in the Legislature to enact such
legislation on the subject of prohibition as the people
might desire that is not in conflict with Federal legisla
tion on the subject.
That’s the whole works; nothing in the above de
mands but what everyone can readily understand and
really wish for; No confusion of technicalities or inter
■ Uno-Uno; of ten-pound words to veil a hidden meaning,
but in a few words those things which Alaskans have
long wished for. We strongly hope Grigsby is elected. It
is time a new delegate is sent to Washington.
The “Days of .49” in the year 1929 ought to sound
good to these oldtimers hereabouts.
Aside li om the fact Alaska needs a lot of new money |
and some new blood in the country, we are still moaning
for the return of those good old five cent cigars.
Oh yes! Also free beer for one and all and not only for
the poor working girl as we used to sing in days of yore.
Rich mining men of the Eastern and Western States
are watching Alaska which points to their interest in
buying or leasing the mines.
Those who tftink the way women dress is awful
should console themselves with the fact that up to this
date the women at least dress.
Cheer up Nellie we’ll have a school house by and by.
