G. 0. P. HAS NEW SCHEME TO DOWN LE
GRIGSBY, IN CAMPAIGN SPEECH
ATTEMPTS POLITICAL RUSE
In what uptfears to he a species of
desperate* effort to stave off the seem
ingly inevitable defeat looming on his
political Horizon, Delegate Grigsby,
arch leader of the noisesomc machine
faction of Alaska democracy, has
evolved the novel ruse of asking the
support of Republican voters under a
voluntary promise that he will work
with the Republican National Com
mitteeman for Alaska in the matter
of recommending Republicans for ap
pointments to Territorial positions, ac
cording to a signed statement issued
Thursday by Republican National
Committeeman J. C. McBride.
Mr. Grigsby’s apparent attempt to
hoax unsophisticated voters into sup
porting his candidacy for Delegate to
Congress is said by Mr. McBride to
have been sprung at Juneau during the
course of his opening campaign
speech in the capital city.
Following Is the McBride statement.
TO THE VOTERS OF ALASKA
Juneau, A Is. Aug. 19-20 1920
Nugget, Nome, Alaska.
In his opening campaigft speech at
iilie Coliseum Thealie at Juneau on the
seventeenth instant, Mr. CJr'g. b> . the
| democratic candidate for delegate to
I Congress, appealed to the Republican
| voters in Alaska for support tpou the
alleged grounds that he would work
•vith the Republican National Commit
teeman for Alaska in the matter of
recommending Republicans for ap
pointmen to Territorial positions mere
igreeably than Sutherland would and
that harmony did not prevail *p the
RepuMi’an party and, therefore, re
<iuested Republicans to vote for him
instead of ids Republican opponent.
1 wish to state at his time that Mr.
Sutherland, tic.- Republican nominee
for delega o to Congress, and myself,
ire in a.- ..id and 1 h.oj pp'lVc harmrry
prevails and when Senator Harding
takes office as President of tin- t ailed
States of America on March fourth
next, no democrat will he consulted by
myself regarding the dist. motion of
offices in Alaska.
In repudiating this attempt of Mr.
firigsby’s t<> create distrust and dis
sension in the Republican Party and to
ca »; c •••<• on my loyalty to my party
and my duty to support its candidates.
