bers from demanding larger
slices of the slush fund. That
used to be rather en exclusive
affair, but now it is common
as dirt. Oh, well, let joy be
unrefined so long as the bucket
continues to come up regular
ly filled with the golden fish.
Guy Chapin.—When the Can
nerymen gave me that $8,000
in actual cash to bring north
a few days before election, as
a reserve emergency fund, I
had dreams of an easy winter
for ME. But it was scarce
more than the rising and setting
of the sun before the hungry
Alaska wolf dogs of war and
politics had devoured every
last one of those beautiful
greenbacks. There was not
one reserve. Everywhere was
emergency
Tom Marquam.—It was a
bully campaign. I had the
time of my life. Flying ma
chines, special trains, automo
biles, luxurious accommodations
on ocean greyhounds, charter
ed gas boats—and everything.
And the Cannerymen paid for
it all, with a nice nest egg in
the bank to get us thru a hard
winter. When I started out
of course I had no thonght of
being elected Delegate. But
after I began reading the bun
kum in the paid Press and
realized what a really fine type
of a man I was, guess my ego
began to swell and I fooled
myseii, as hundreds of others
were misled, and I actually
thought we were putting it
over and possibly I could be
elected. It was a sad awak
ening, but my great consola
tion is the “Independent” vote
nt Juneau. There the sports,
the Church and the Republican
official family united, and I
received 100 votes more than
did Frank Boyle two years ago.
I’ll say that was going some,
even tho it did mean spending
oodles of fish money to make
a lot of suckers bite. They
may be ashamed of themselves
when they get their second
wind, but what care I. What
has been done once can be done
again, and we are getting ready
to fool them in the next gen
eral contest—if the slush fund
is forthcoming. It is getting
now that with a lot of us four
flushing lawyers the art of pol
itics is more profitable than
trying to practice law.
