To the Voters of Seward Peninsula
Being a candidate for the legislature from the Second Division of Alaska, at the general election on November 2nd
1920, it is proper that I should state my qualifications for such office, and my views upon legislative matter* affecting the
people of the Territory.
I was educated in the High Schools of Parsont Kansas, and in the University of Oregon, having graduated from the
Law Department of such university in 1899, and wgs in* 1900, upon examination by the Supreme Court of Oregon, admitted
to practice law in the courts of that state
Prior to my graduation in the University of Oregon, I was in the railway service as a car inspector, and was, at and
during the time of the strike of the American Railway Union, Secretary of the allied unions of Portland, Oregon
Arriving in Nome in June 1900, I immediately opened a law office, and have ever since, continuously resided in such
place and been engaged in the practice of law.
Politically I have been a Democrat, though never to the extent of placing party above principle, and I am today
more interested in men and measures than in political parties* t
I have never held public offices outside of local offices in the City of Nome.
My home, my business and my interests are all in Alaska, and though I intend spending the coming winter in tha
States (which will be my first winter spent outside of Alaska in twenty years) I am leaving my office and business in Nome
and will return next spring.
The following is a brief statement of my views.upon some.of the important matters of legislation.
OLD AGE PENSION LAW.
The theory of the justice of the so called void Age Pension Laws”, is, that when a person has given to his country
his services during^the active years of his life, the country should sustain him when he is old and incapacitated
This the aged should receive, not as charity but clearly as of right.
The present law requiring aged persons, as a condition to receiving a pension, to agree to vest in the Territory all
of their property of which they may be seised at the time of their death, is humiliating and fundamentally wrong. Simpl*
justice demands the repeal of such Obnoxious conditions.
THE EIGHT HOUR LAW
The Legislature of Alaska in 1915, passed an Act to submit to the people of the Territory, by referendum vote, the
question of "A general eight hour day for all wage earners abd salary earners.”
At the general election following in 1917, the people if the Territory voted overwhelmingly for the measure, and
that vote sliould be controlling to any one wha is honest in his pretensions of belief in a democratic form of government.
There should be no room for “pussy-footing” on this question. %
THE ROAD LAW ■ - ■» ~ * 'J
iJKLAM
The present road law, passed by the last Territorial Legislature, which places the expenditure of money appropriat
ed by the Territory for the Jtuilding and maintenance of roads, into the hands of federal officers over whom the people of
the Territory have no control, is so opposed to reason and experience, that it should be modified or repealed.
TRAILS AND SHELTER CABINS
Properly staked trails and shelter cabins are of such vital importance to those who have occasion to travel during
the winter season, that substantial appropriations should lie made for staking trails and building■» cabins at convenient
places along the trails.
TRANSPORTATION
One of the greatest needs of the people of the Territory is relief from the outrageous and ever increasing cost of
transportation to Alaska. It is a delusion to expect steam ship monopolies,actuated by the principle of profit, to voluntar
ily reduce transportation rates, but with the great fleet of government owned commerce ships lying idle, intelligent action
should bring prompt relief.
* WIRELESS TELEGRAPH
The need of communication throughout the Second Division is so great, that such Territorial aid should be given as
would insure the installing of wireless stations at all centers of population not now having adequate means of eommunica
SCHOOL TAX /
That the schools throughout the Territory should be maintained at the preotnt high standard of efficiency does not
admit of question, but the burdensome and arbitrary school poll tax now imposed, Is wholly unnecessary for such purpose,
and the same should be repealed. — -
TERRITORIAL OFFICER8
The power given to the Govelknor of Alaska, by the Territorial Lagislature, to appoint a mining inspector, superin
tendent of schools, end ether important Territorial officers, is undemocratic and a usurpation of the high prerogative of the
people. Important Territorial officers should be elective, and especially ia thin true in view of the fast that the Governed
is in no way answerable to the people of the Territory far hie aete.
In conclusion, I wish to make it dear that in seeking tha suffrage of the voters of this division for thq^ffiee to which
I aspire, I appreciate fully that a legislator should be In feet, as well ae In theory, a servant ef the people, and that he ia ae
lectad to carry out th# wishes of the majority, and to this end the people should feel free to, and It is their duty, to make
known Vieir desires- to the persons whom they aeleet for these important offices.
With three consideration., and bdlevlng that I ean be of service to the. people of the Territory fn the offfee whieh I
seek. I earnestly solicit the votes bf'the men and women of the Second Division at tha elect!an to be held November 2nd 1920.
RESFECTFULLY YOURS.
