on that Juneau Kommercial
Klub and the Subsidized Or
gan. They enticed me into the
Garden of Eden—and there I
fell. Now I am only a stray
“Goat,” without any following
in Sitka, where I did succeed
in changing .three Sutherland
votes to Marquam.
Bob Heckman —I sure must
hand it to the people of Ket
chikan. They have more hon
esty and self-respect than I
ever imagined. Guess we will
soon have to quit trying to
fool them. Of course we would
like to control their votes, but
it seems as tho the jig was up.
They know how to fight for
their own interests.
Allen Shattuck.—After trav
eling around with Marquam I
began to realize what a really
bad man he is and what a mis
take it was to select him as
our “Independent” standard
bearer. It was most distres
sing to sit on the same plat
form and hear Tom, Henry
and George throw mud at, and
lie about our opponents, and
at the same time tell what a
wonderful man I am and what
a tragedy it would be if
our Legislative ticket was de
feated. But the opposition was
real kind and never said a
word about my business record
as a Trustee for four years of
the Pioneers Home, and neith
er did they refer to those aw
ful circulars Val had printed
during a municipal campaign,
telling how I was holding-up
the people of Juneau thru my
oil monopoly, and cussing me
for carefulness in always first
looking after my own pocket.
Fortunately our opponents
stuck to the truth, but they
didn’t tell half of it, else some
of us candidates would still be
sweating.
Henry Roden.—Our cam
paign was a blankety blank
failure. We tried to match the
truth and facts of the opposi
tion by resorting to the false
and lecherous tales of the com
mon blackmailer. Many of our
Juneau workers, with a sancti
fied air, sought to steal a wo
man’s reputation by their whis
pered innuendoes, while I sold
my manhood from the public
rostrum in trying to defeat
tnis Senatorial candidate by
stressing a lie that reacted on
an innocent party, when five
minutes inquiry demonstrated
that there was not one iota of
truth in the manufactured yarn.
To so stultify oneself and to
be forever scorned by fair
minded people is not worth
thirty pieces of silver or even
a trip to Europe.
Rev. O. A. Stillman.—We
live in the eternal NOW, and
it is NOW that we create our
destiny. It follows that to
grieve over the political past
is useless and to make plans
for deliverance from the Phil
istines is a waste of time. They
are cruel and unrelenting and
once in their toils the Corpora
tion bosses know no mercy
should a guileless and repent
ant soul seek independence of
thought and action.
Edw. G. Morrissey.—We got
a big wallop on Nov. 2, but
we also got the boodle. So
what the ’ell. Money may be
the root of all evil, but who
is running away from evil.
The cannerymen are so easy
that we scarce have to dig for
the root. Of course it hurts
our pride a little to go down
to defeat each election, but the
subsidy is the thing that we
important newspaper Editors
are concerned in. Our main
trouble is in discouraging the
Corporation lawyers and the
increasing hords of other pol
itical parasites and club mem
