and told him to come forward
or back up. Albert remember
ed the old saying that “he
who runs, lives to fight anoth
er day.”
Heckman Challenged
Former Senator J. R. Heck
man went rather early to vote
in Ketchikan and announced
himself. Promptly Republican
watcher P. F. Gilmore chal
lenged him. If you could have
seen Bob’s face! “On what
grounds, Pete” says Bob. “You
are not a citizen of the United
Stages.” Heckman got so mad
fhat he sputtered and bolted out
of the room. Pretty soon he
came back and swore in his
vote.
A little while later, Heck
man came into the polls again
and went up to the judges and
and said, pointing to Gilmore,
“Are you fellows going to let
him stay in here and electioneer
for himself?” Gilmore said,
I am not electioneering.”
Heckman said, “Will you give
three minutes to prove my
statement?” Then he went out
and soon brought back a lady.
Heckman asked her if she had
heard Gilmore soliciting votes.
She answered “Yes, he asked
me to vote for him for road
commissioner.” The judges
said the evidence was now two
to one and Pete would have
to get out. He got.
Then Pete went to precinct
number 2, and foxy Bob sen1;
word down there. Pete couldn’t
help it, he wanted that job of
road commissioner (which pays
nothing and has nothing to do)
so much that he was caught
in the act down there, and out
he went. Then Pete consoled
his Republican friends by tel
ling them that he would be
more useful to them boosting
on the outside than he was a
challenger.
It is reported from Juneau
that the Honorable V. A. Paine,
who so faithfully and vigilant
ly presides over the administra
tion of justice in the Commis
siner’s court in Juneau, got
wires crossed on election day,
and procured the casting of a
vote in Juneau by his house
guest one Ernest Kirberger, a
prominerit merchant of Kake,
who has been outside on a
pleasure and business trip for
the last six months.
This Paine is the same faith
ful appointee of Judge Re .;
who abolished the precinct of
Angoon where mass voting is
indulged in to the amount of
50 or 60 votes for Sutherland,
and who allowed the precincts
of Hirst-Chichagoff and Funter
to stand, where the total vote
was 8 and 6 respectively, all
massed for Marquam.
If there ever was a case of
a man’s suffering from the mis
doings of his friends, that man
is Judge Reed.
Many respectable business
men join the church for ex
pediency and prestige, don
their religion with their Sun
day suit and hang suit and re
ligion in the closet during
business activities: In order
to prosper they deem it nceces
sary to flirt with vice, shirk
ing all responsibility of par
entage of the welfare of the
rising generation. The lure for
gold creates a false and vicous
standard of manhood.
When did Prefessor Mitchell
qualify sufficiently to stand up
in a public meeting and say
that ‘Dan Sutherland is a liar,’
for calling attention of Con
gressional investigators to state
ments of those who knew ‘that
deplorable conditions existed
among the highschool students
of our school?’ Results re
main to be seen.
