TO THE VOTERS
I am a candidate for the office of Representative La the Territorial Legl*
atnre. Ae such, I have been asked to state what I stand for and what I am
coins1 to do If elected.
f hare no Illusion* to the effect that anyone elected to thla office la co
ins to be able to brine a boat such sweep Log reform* as will result in un
bounded prosperity to thla Territory, therefore, I am not going to make a lot
of foolish promises in the hops of getting a few rotes. However, I can say
with fairness and honesty, that my seventeen years o* residence In
where I have raised my family and where what few dollars I have are In
vested, has caused me to have a deep and abiding love for this Territory and
an earnest desire for Its welfare. If elected, I will do those things which In
my best judgment are for the good of the whole Territory, and especially. Cor
Ihe good of the Third Division In which I have lived continuously since the
iprlng of 1911.
I have been asked to state my attitude on the Controller Bill. In an
swer I unhesitatingly promise to vote and work for any measure which will
>ring greater self-government to the Territory of Alaska as a whole. I am
n favor of election of officers for all Territorial positions. I am In favor of
he control of fisheries by the Territory; of placing the control of, the game
■©sources In the hand* of the people of the Territory. I am opposed to any
>111 or measure which gTants to one small portion of the Territory the right
o politically dominate the whole. If the people want a controller and a
ward of control, I am hi favor of such a bill as will give each of the four di
visions of Alaska a voice on such board. I do not favor the present scheme
>f some politicians of Alaska whereby it is sought to build up a machine un
er the name o-f a “Board of Control,” by which the First Division will be
.ble to rule the Territory to the exclusion of the Second, Third and Fourth
ivisions.
Some time ago I had occasion to look up the relative amount of taxes
laid by the four divisions. The result was as follows:
First Division ___ 34 per cent
Second Division _____i___ 2 per cent
Third Division .._________ 57 per cent
Fourth Division ...... 7 per cent
I find that the voting strength of the four divisions at the last election,
k-as as follows:
First Division ........ 6,000 votes
Second Division ....... 750 votes
Third Division .._.... 4,000 votes
Fourth Division ....... 2,500 votes
In the First Division there is a system of mass voting whereby the bal
nce of power is held in the hands of a small ring of politicians making it
ossible for the self-iseeking few to dictate the election of almost anyone the
osses may want in office. If the present scheme were carried out whereby
he “Board of Control" is to be elected from the Territory without regard to
ivisional lines, this all-powerful organization would be chosen from the most
eavily populated district, that is, the First Division. The people of the
Tiird, Second and Fourth divisions would be helpless, while the First Divi
ion politicians manipulated the Territorial finances and political appoint
aents to their own advantage. I will vote and work for a coutroller bill
rhich provides equal representation on the board for each of the four divi
ions, but not for one which under the guise of “Home Rule” delivers us
lound hand and foot to the First Division ring.
I am for the extension of roads and trails in all parts of Alaska and es
pecially for the extension of the Eyak Highway, and for trails into the Chiti
la and White River districts and the extension of the Seward Highway to
doose Pass and Kenai, as well as continuation of Westward road develop
nent.
I am for a liberal appropriation for the destruction of seals and salmon
rout and for the cleaning of the streams used by the spawning salmon.
I ant for any measure that will encourage the resident Alaska fisherman
ind make It possible for him to gain an honest livelihood to the end that
Maska may become a place where people may make more permanent homes.
I favor permitting no one to fish commercially In the waters of the Terri
ory of Alaska except American citizens, and will support legislation to this
md.
I believe that residents of the Territory should be employed in all cases
rhere competent resident help is available.
I do nob belieVet in taxing the canneries out of business, nor do I believe
n allowing them to destroy the salmon run either by waste or excessive
;xacks. If it should appear that the canneries look at the Immediate dollar
,o such an extent as to endanger the future of the industry, I favor adequate
egisilation to curtail their activities to a point where there will be sufficient
iscapement to the spawning beds to guarantee a bountiful run of fish at the #
succeeding cycles.
I believe that the Alaska native should be allowed to take game birds
md animals for his own food at all times of the year.
I favor subsidies for small boats to those parts of the Territory where
mail facilities are lacking and especially favor an adequate subsidy for boat
service the year around to settlements on Kodiak and Afognak islands.
If these principles appeal to you, I ask your vote. +
