CITIZENS OF THE THIRD
DIVISION
-o
The CONTROL of the next Leg
islature may depend on you. You
have it in your power to elect men
who will represent you and not the
steamship company or the Kenne
cott Mine. You can put an end to
the government of Alaska by car
pet-baggers who look to Washing
ton, D. C.
But you cannot do so if you
elect Tony Dimond, senator, or
Frank Foster and Joseph Murray
to the lower House.
These men by their records have
shown that they will oppose any
bill that proposes to let the citi
zens of Alaska govern themselves.
They will vote against a bill to
elect their own treasurer; or sec
retary. They will oppose any biT
tlint. tries to give Alaskans the
right to manage the Pioneer’s
Home. They will continue to do
everything to uphold the power of
the federal governor and the ma
chine that surrounds him.
Tony Dimond is the man who
engineered the joker law that suc
cessfully tied the hands of our
own attorney general and prevent
ed this elected official from test
ing the infamous FISH RESERVA
J. 1UINO.
Frank Foster supported those
fish reserves when he was in the
legislature. He supported a bih to
give title to trapsites, and to p^o
hibit seine fishing within ON."’
MILE OF THE TRAP.
Joseph Murray voted against
the CONTROLLER BILL, that is
against giving the people of Alas
ka the right to elect their own
officers. He voted against the
elective treasurer’s bill. He sup
ported the fish reserves.
You would do well to vote for—
Gus Borgen, for Senator;
J. N. McCain for Representative;
E. R. Tarwater for Representa
tive;
P. C. McMullin for Representa
tive;
H. H. McCutcheon for Represen
