“OUR NEXT DELEGATE”
DAN A. SUTHERLAND
(A FORMER NOME MAN)
The candidate of the Republican
Party, Senator Dan Sutherland, needs
no introduction to i!v people of Nome
and the Sew-ard Peninsula. He came
here when the camp was in its infancy
and became associated with John Ses
non in the lighterage business. His
executive abilities tended in a great
measure to nuike the enterprise a suc
cess. During Dan Sutherland's con
nection with the firm he gained the
confidence and friendship not only of
the workmen but the general public |
as well by his fairness and honesty to
all. After selling his inteiest in the
lighterage business Mr. Sutherland
engaged in mining and prospecting and
it is absolutely true from a mining
and prospecting standpoint that few
men know more of th» needs of the
Territory better then Dan Sutherland,
and certainly no one is more in sympa
thetic touch with the public pulse.
Mr. Sutherland' political life lik•• his
business and s.r i ti hie is will « \< stain

faltering devotion to duty. Alaska
need have no fear that her

as Delegate. Mr. Sutherland in letters
to friends regrets his inability to come

service on river and ocean which
might endanger his chances of visiting
other places where he is not so well
known personally. But he promises
to visit here next summer and we will

ANDY ANDERSON
CANDIDATE
FOR REPRESENTATIVE
I>n*' t'» the resignation of Dick
Morris after the primaries there is a
vacancy on the Republican ticket for
the office of Representative to the
Alaska I.egislature. As the only way
this vacancy could be filled under the
Primary Utv Is by calling of a Di
visional Convention, which is utterly
impracticable in this Division within
the time at onr dsposal, the Nome lie
publican Club have endorsed the can
didacy of Andy Anderson for that of
fice. A It ho Mr. Anderson is an inde
pendent candidate and therefore might
l>e considered as in opposition to the
Regular Republican ticket, yet the « Ir
cumstan. es governing his indep r.der.t
< andidaev are somewhat different from
that of all the other independent can
didates. Mr. Anderson desiied 1 be
a candidate at the Primary election,
md wired to Nome from the Outside
•ii have his application filed, but be
was ignorant of the provision compell
ing the filing of such application 60
days before the primaries, and his tele
gram was received here too late to
comply with his wishes. His friends,
without consulting with, or receiving
instruction from him, cicrulated a pe
tition for his independent candidacy,
and he found, on his arrival here on
the first boat, that he was an inde
pendent candidate, a candidacy which
he would not have sought himself.
Mr. Anderson Is, and always lias been,
'a staunch Republican, and. he has
adopted and stands flat-footed upon
• the Republican platform as set forth
To The Voters Of The Second Division
The .orcKoing statement Is correct
as to the way I happened to become
I an Independent candidate for the Leg
islature, and I would not, on my own
itccord, have become such a candidate
as Independent canc^diUes are neces
sarily in opposition to the regular can
didates.. However I am. and always
have been, a Republican.
I have read the platform adopte
I»v the Nome Republican Club, of
which- I nin ;i member, and I heartily
endorse every .statement and every
plank contained therein, and will, if
elected use my every effort to carry
out the principles there enunciated.
I shall, if elected, be ever watchful
for the 1*est interests of Alaska as a
whole and particularly of the Second
Division.
I have been a resident of the Second
Division of Alaska since 1900 dur
ing all of which time I have been, and
am now. engaged in mining. T am
and laws .vs have been -olicltous of the
welfare of the laboring man, and of
my fetlowman generally.
1 believe that, if elected. I can fur
ther the interests of the Second Divi

the election situation in Southeastern
Alaska, Mr. Griffith recently left N<rtne

reads as follows.
Al Nicholson, Nome.
Arrived todny after rough trip. Met
Hazlott and other Republicans here.
They assert the Third Division will
give T>an Sutherland a thousand ma
jority. Cordova and lAtouche are
both strong for Pan.
Grigsby did not hold a rally at
Latom-he and received a cold recep
tion. All indications are said to point
that Dan will carry the First Divi
sion by two to one. Cordova will give
j him three to one.
Keep the good work going.
Signed M..JV. Griffith.

Women of Nome don’t forget that
Senator Sutherland introduced the bill
in the Territorial Senate that gave
you suffrage. Advt.
The regular crop of Grigsby fake
election telegrams will soon commence
to blossom. Pay no attention to
them. Advt.
A great many residents of the Territory consider that It'is of little Im
portance what may he the politlcat principles ot the candidates for the various
Territorial offices, but this is wrong and Is a very dangerous condition. The
platform printed above furnishes plenty of reason for all voters who believo
n law, order and good government voting for the Republican ticket not only
in Alaska, but thruout the United States.
In addition we would call attention to a few facts:
The organic Act making Alaska a Terrtrtory and giving us a Homo
Rule Government was passed by a Republican Congress in 1912, as was also
the law setting aside lands in the public domain for the schools of the Terri
tory and the establishment of the school system in the Territory.
The Republican members of tho Territorial Legislature are to l»e cred
ited with such laws as the extension of the elective franchise to women, the
establishment of the Pioneers’ Home and the pensioning of pioneers, the uni
form school act, the primary election of National Committeeman and Delegates
to the National Conventions, the Australian Hullot law. a good, workable road
law (the law of 1917) which was killed by the Domocratic Legislature of 1919,
which same Legislature also botched up the Pioneers’ Pension Act and tho
Pioneers* Home law.
The journals of the Mouse ami the Senate for the four Morions of tho
Legislature commencing with 1913 will show that the R .publicans have always
stood for good laws and have been the progressive element in the Legislature.
There is no doubt iu the minds of the best posted men and women of
toda> that the next election will return a Republican administration to
Washington, and this should encourage the Republicans to elect their party
represenotives to the federal and Territorial offices so that we may present a
strong solid front to the authorities at Washington when we make our claims
for recognition. With a Republican Delegate to Congress, a Republican
Legislature, and a Republican Governor all working in harmonv for the ad
vancement of Alaska we should be able to get somewhere.
The Democrats have lamentably failed in their administration of af
fair* fur tho Nation an,I for Alaska, so lot’s return to a !le„ut,llc,ia ndntlnls
tration which in the past never failed.
