FOLLOW ANCN0RA6E m
Endorse Platform and All Re
publican Candidates.
Generally speaking, Arthur
Frame, Anchorage attorney,
who visited in Seward over the
week end stated that the Re
publicans of Seward approve
the principles of the republi
can platform which were adopt
ed by the Third Division Re
publican Club of Anchorage.
He spoke to many of them
during his visit, he said, and
it was his opinion the platform
would be supported wholeheart
edly. Hon. Dan Sutherland,
delegate to congress ,irom Al
aska was quite pleased with
the reception accorded him
during the few hours previous
to his departure and has the
utmost confidence that he will
be reelected to serve the fourth
term. Due to boat connections
at 1 Nenana, it was imperative
that he should make all haste
to the interior in order to reach
Nome where he will begin his
campaign. Upon completing
the Second Division he will
then proceed to the Fourth
Division, then to this Division
and last the First Division.
Mr. Sutherland appears to be
in splendid health and excep
tionally well fitted to carry on
an active campaign for the next
three months.
