ADVENTUROUS LADY
TRAVELER DEPARTS
MUut Wilson, whose arrival last
week from Mexico City via Fairbanks
in company with that famous hero of I
the winter trail. l.eonard SeppalaJ
created something orf a sensation here,j
Is once more speeding over the frozen
trail on her way back to Mexico. The|
adventurous young lady started on the
return trip across the territory this
morning, piloted by Seppnla and his
team of trail burners, after a stay of
ten days in Nome, which she was
pleased to describe as among the most
pleasant periods of her career.
"I have enjoyed every moment of
it,” she exclaimed enthusiastically
when asked as to her impressions of
the long journey across Alaska in the
heait of the Arctic winter. "Hard
ships!: I have seen none." she declar
ed. "I came to see Alaska when it
was •really* Alaska." she said. "And
I have seen it." she added nfter a
pause.
"IJut", ventured the reporter, "have
you not chosen a rather unfortunate
time to see the land at its best? You
hav.* witnessed only its harsh, forbid
ding side: when Nature is cruel, re
lent less—at her very worst."
"Not at all." interjected Miss Wil
son vehemently. "It is grand in the
• Itut", the reporter persisted, "while
you have perhaps seen the l»igncs«,
the broadness, the majestic side of it.
Would it not have left a more pleasant
impression t“ have visited us in the
summer, when nature is smiling and
jthe wide snow wastes have yielded to
bright blossoms and the green of
growing things?"
"Flowers, grass, trees!", came the
<iui< k disdainful reply. "I can see them
anywhere! No: I wanted to sec Alaska
when it was not like other places," she
continued. “So I caine in winter and I
am pleased to say that I have never
enjoyed an experience so much in my
life. I like'Alaska and it’s people.”,
she declared. "And I like Nome im
mensely and really wish that I could
stay here t«> see the ice go out in
-Spring and become a real “sourdough."
\nd her bright, grey-brown eyes
sparkled enthusiastically as she spoke.
“it is rumored. Miss Wilson.” the
reporter said, “that you are a writer
in search of local color and that is your
object in braving the rigors of Arctic
winter and tiie hazards of travel over
The petite young v oinan laughed
mirthfully before replying. "Why the
idea!" she exclaimed. “No; I'm not
rnilty. I am here merely to see Alas
ka and incidentally improve my health,
.vhirh was not v. ry pood for some time
before I left Mexico.”
Miss Wilson was decidedly reticent
concerning herself and admitted that
die was a "little afraid" of reporters,
iast why. she didn't know. "I have
i n tokl they will strip you of ytur
fondest secrets If one gives them half
i chance," she said. "Tho," she ad
ded. "I have nothing t<» conceal. And
I like them too. the reporters. I think
they are so bright—and I like to hear
them talk rather than talk to them
about myself.*

TO THE VOTERS OF NOME
LAOISS AND GENTLEMEN;
To witnew the Interest that Is being taken In the approaching «U.v
election should fill the brwu* of all who have the true interests of our country
at heart with satisfaction. It promises well for the future for It ehowa that
we are at last waking up to the fact that a government "of the people for the
people by the people” can only be such in fact If we all Lake a hand.
So political evil could exist for a. moment if every American took ad*
vantage of the weapon which our government has placed In bur hands, namely,
the ballot. In the post many of us have been 'Hoo busy” to take an active
interest in politics, contenting ourselves with going to the polls on election
day and voting for the candidates named by the ••machine”, that is. If a fishing
trip or something else did not Interfere with our doing «**. Ws have never
had "too much” politics, but we have always suffered from too little atten
tion to politics. The man or woman who is "too busy” to go to the polls on
election day has failed to grasp the very fundamental principles of American
ism. Americanism means a government "with the consent of the governed.”
and the wishes of the governed should be expressed, not by fault-finding
destructive criticism, but by the Intelligent use of the ballot on election day.
There are three candidates for Mayor and seven for councilman from
which you are to choose your City officers for the next year .
1 stand for government "with the consent of the governed”
I stand for economical and efficient^dtj| government.
I stand for no cliques nor favoritism.
1 stand for the very best interests of all the people all the HaM.
I have been 22 years in Alaska, four years in the Second Division and
nearly two years in Nome, and I IX) NOT INTEND LEAVING NOME.
Notwithstanding statements to the contrary an ini^xection of the tax
books will show that 1 have been a taxpayer in Nome ever since 1 have been
here; that I am not wealthy enough to be a tftrge taxpayer should be con
sidered myjirfiafortune. My income has been spent where it was earned—
in Alaska.
If 1 am elected Mayor I shall have no political debts to pay, and my
every official act shall be aimed toward the betterment of civic conditions
• 1 solicit your vote, and assure you that If elected I do not expect to
absent myself from Nome either temporarily or permanently during my term
of office, but will be "on the Job” all the time. ^
Yours truly
Pred Harrison
