Sampson Withdraws
From Primary
-X
E. L. Sampson, Ketchikan
business man withdrew his
name from the Democratic race
for nomination to the House.
Mr. Sampson was a candidate
for the House in the 1930 elec
tion, losing out. It is said that
Mr. Sampson withdrew at the
request of Mr. Eldon Daly, man
ager of the Ketchikan Mill and
Fower Company. Mr. Sampson
is an employee of Mr. Daly’s and
it was without Mr. Daly’s know
ledge that he filed for the legis
lature. It is reported that Mr.
Daly felt that because of his
own activity before the last le
gislature that he believed it
would be a reflection upon him
self if Mr. Sampson remained
in the race.
There are still eight candi
dates in the race: Joe Green,
Hyder, Frank Peratrovich, Kla
wock, J. W. Kehoe, Ketchikan,
F. Joe Baranovich, Ketchikan,
Claude Helgesen, Thomas B.
Judson, Fred Sorri, Albert Wile,
Juneau—representing two fac
tions in the Democratic line-up
created by the attempt of the
bosses of Juneau to incorporate
a plank to repeal the primary
law.

HARRY DONNELLEY

Harry Donnelley has so long
lived as a little frog in a little
pool that he does not realize
that his was a little pool. He
came to the legislature with the
impression that he would show
the old duffers how politics
should be run. He impressed
people—so long as he kept
silent or dealt in generalities
but it was not long before he
was classified as “too narrow
minded to be given serious at
tention.”
His independence vanished be
lore many days and he was vie
ing with one or two others to be
the political messenger boy of
the House and the Federals. As
soon as this was found out, he
was labeled as “safe.” Bidding
fcr publicity, like the Pharisee
he raised his voice and loudly
proclaimed that he was glad that
he was not a member of the
Senate and proceeded to con
demn the majority liberals of
the Senate. He voted with the
reactionary majority of thc
House at all times yet objected
(o the same solidarity of the
liberals in the Senate.
His system of government is
based on hates and loves and he
is an example of the “rotten
borough” system of government
wherein a few hundred voters
can gather in two senators and
lour representatives as against
three thousand required in the
First Division. Small minds from
small towns are easily puffed up
by clever schemers of the Fed
eral Machine and they still laugh
at Donnelley’s gullibility.

E. A. RASMUSSON

The support of this publica
tion and its contemporary—The
Alaskan—is given E. A. Rasmus
son f o r Republican national
committeeman. There is no
comparison between Mr. Ras
mussen and his opponent Jack
White of Juneau. Mr. Rasmus
ton is president of the Bank of
Alaska, with its several branches
and has the respect and esteem
of all who have come in contact
with him. Mr. White was arrest
ed a year or so ago on the
charge of selling wine tonics
and flavoring extracts to natives.
If the Territory would have any
standing before the dignitaries
of Washington they need not
expect to attain it by sending
one who is not held in the best
cf esteem by those who know
him best. There can be no choice
it' the voters are picking out the
best man for the position—there
is no denying that at all.
R. E. Robertson it is said is
writing Jack Whites’ political
literature and he is linked with
Jack Davies Marquam “Inde
pendent” and K?,'i 'I hieie—Fed
eral cannerymm.
A little moment for reflection
will true the mind’s direction.
