STROLLER WHITE
ADVOCATES VIO
LATION OF LAW
“Just for the reason that an In
dian who cannot read, write or
speak the English language bobs up
at a polling booth with a ballot in
his hand is NOT sufficient reason
that his ballot should ever see the
interior of a ballot box—not if tne
judges of election KNOW THEIR
BUSINESS.—Stroller’s Weekly.”
To put this in plain language,
Stroller means Mr. Election Judge,
When an Indian votes and hands
you his ballot, DO NOT PUT THE
BALLOT IN THE BALLOT BOX
but slip it aside.
The Watchers assigned to each
polling place are hereby carefully
warned to watch out for any illegal
act on the part of hostile election
judges, and see that there are wit
nesses around so that the United
States district attorney will nave
something to go on when he prose
cutes dishonest practices.
We are also informed that at dif
ferent points, the United States
Deputy Marshal are taking an active
part in intimidating citizens. Those
who are most active are well known.
Citizens are also asked to keep their
eyes on these deputy marshals. Keen
in mind that a U. S. Marshal or his
deputy has no right to be in a poll
ing place or to meddle in the election
unless there is a disturbance.
Citizens must not forget that since
Attorney General Daugherty has
quit the President’s cabinet, our
Marshal Beaumont has no cinch on
his present job. That goes for
those of his deputies who are trying
to intimidate voters. THE BATTLE
THIS YEAR IS TO BE FOUGHT
WITH BALLOTS.
THREE-IN-ONE
CANDIDATES
A certain group of men are run
ning for the legislature on a slogan
like the above. The slogan reminds
me of the well-known “acl” of oil.
Concerning the oil, I will say that it
is good, slippery stuff, that makes
everything run smoothly and is very
slick.
-!♦ ❖
Howard Ashley, an “Oil-for-one”
candidate, is not exactly a carpet
bagger, but I am willing to wager
that the day after he loses his $300
a month job with the White Pass
Railroad, he will have folded up his
handkerchief and used his pass to
get back to Vancouver, B. C.
If he should get to the Legisla
ture, he and Shepard will make a
1'iie team blocking all measures seek
ing' to relieve business men and other
residents of high transportation
rates.
He might even join with “Shep”
ir. doubling the old age pensions and
then forget (?) to provide the ap
propriation. That was a sly old
trick, Shep.
J. H. Davies was a member of the
Territorial Fish Commission when
they endorsed a fish bill whose sole
purpose was to give the canners
title to their trapsites. This same
bill was later introduced in the leg
islature and became infamous as
the “Rritt Memorial.”

Gurr-rr-rr-r ! !
He said himself that he had no
platform, but that he would vote the
way those “who sent him wished
him to vote.” No wonder Johnny
Grant is for him. Ahem ! !
Gurr-rr-rr-r ! ! His master’s
voice! !
THIRD DIVISION
CANDIDATES
Joseph Murray, lawyer from Me
Carthy, is a candidate for re-election
to the House of Representatives.
Murray is a man of great power and
talents but uses them to project or
to advance the special interests of
the Guggenheims. He voted against
a tax of $7,500 on each million of
profit of that great company whose
profits run from six million to
twenty million dollars a year.
He worked against a decent work
men’s compensation act that propos
ed to guarantee compensation to in
jured employees without the necessi
ty of employing lawyers.
Tie served the transportation com
panies well and thus worked for a
continuance of high freight rates
for the Third Division.
Will the small business man or
the laborer send him back?
■k ★ k
If you are in doubt, you will make
no mistake in voting for John J.
Bugge, of Palmer. He is the farmer
President of the Matanuska Valley
Settlers Association, a true friend of
Dan Sutherland’s, an enemy of ex
ploiters, is honestly opposed to fish
reserves, and carpet-baggers. He
earns his own living out of the
ground and does not depend on “re
tainers” from rich corporations. It
is better to vote for one good man
than waste your vote on four that
you do not know. Put John Bugge
on your ticket.
★ ★ ★ ★
Arthur Frame of Anchorage is en
dorsed by a group of men there who
call themselves “The ex-service
men’s Political Club” to distinguish
themselves from the American Le
gion. He is running for National
Committeeman on the platform fav
oring a soldier's bonus. So far so
good. But how about carpet-bag
gers? Will he co-operate with Dan
Sutherland? Are we to have an
other governor from New York?
These are issues touching his office.
★ ★ ★ ★
If I were a Democrat, I would
vote for M. J. Conroy of Anchorage
for Senator. His 15 points are like
sweet honey to the real resident of
Alaska. There is a man who is not
afraid to think and work for us.
★ ★ -h it
We are informed that J. L. Waller,
of Anchorage, candidate for the Re
publican nomination to the House is
a real progressive, a supporter of
Dan Sutherland and his policies.
Where you are indoubt, pick out a
Sutherland man.
