ary bodies in such cases. Lomen’s
vote on the floor of the House to
defeat a proposed amendment to the
bill which furnished a subsidy of
$17,000. to his own transportation
company at Nome showed this man’s
grossness and disregard for those
ethics of honor and decency that
are always supposed to be observed
by legislators. The subsidy bill
guaranteed a profit to the Lomen’s
in the operaton of their boats and
the proposed amendment called for
presentation of accounts and vouch
ers to the Territorial treasurer to
show the exact earnings of the boats
in order that the profit to be paid
by the Treasurer could be calculat
ed. Lomen’s henchmen, Gaffney
and Rydeen, insisted that the treas
urer should take the word of thp
Lomen Bros. Company for the
amount of general expenses and
pass over the entire appropriation
without question. Sundquist in
supporting this fair amendment in
curred the displeasure of Lomen
and Gaffney. A legislator with any
sense of decency would have asked
to be excused from voting on a
measure which would put public
money in his own pocket. Even
Lomen’s chore boy, Rydeen, show
ed a little hesitancy in opposing the
amendment to protect territorial
funds but both Lomen and Gaffney
prodded him on. They got away
with the subsidy all right but the
Lomen’s will have to render an ac
count of their earnings to the treas
urer before they receive it.
AYLMER RYDEEN
Lomen’s hired man. We under
stand that he was elected to the le
gislature by being all things to all
men. To Sutherland supporters he
was a Sutherland man and to Mar
quam supporters he was a Marquam
man. In the legislature he was Lo
men’s man Friday and Lomen’s man
only. He did not cast a vote except
under the instructions from Lomen
and the journal will show that their
votes were the same on every meas
ure. It is possible that the voters
cf Seward Peninsula intended to
send to the legislature a serving man
like Rydeen showed himself to be.
It the Lomen’s are to select legisla
tors from the Second Division to
“bring home the bacon” for the ben
efit of the Lomen corporations in
future it will be in order for the
other Divisions to demand of Con
gress the reapportionment recom
mended by Governor Bone.
SENATOR BARTLEY HOWARD
Have you ever met President
Howard?
He was elected as a Republican
and a Sutherland man. In the end
he was in alliance with Senators
Pratt, Dunn and Jenson. With
them he voted to confirm two
IVarquamites as regents of the Agri
cultural College, namely Tony Di
mond and Dr. Romig.
We heard him explain to Senator
Hunt that he was a real Republi
can, that all he wanted was peace
and harmony (while Tom Marquam
struck the chord) and that is why
he voted for Tony and Romig.
Have you ever met Senator How
ard?
He believes in the “voice of the
people” but he killed the Controll
er Bill by an unfair ruling.
He said he would vote for the
Controller Bill “if the governor
were on the Board and then voted
against such a bill.
In a published statement Howard
says credit for passing the Agricul
tural College bill was saved by Re
presentatives Sheldon and Fisher
“who refused to let the bill go to
free conference” altho neither man
was on the conference committee.
Have you ever met President
Howard?
His friends now are the Juneau
Empire, Marquam Dirnond rnd Tom
Romig.
No friend of Sutherland’^ is i? 'w
a friend of Howai os for he hvs de
ceived and betrayed them an. He
thinks he fools us because he is non
committal. Bartley Howard has
betrayed the people of Alaska and
