NATIONALS DEFEATED
AMERICANS AT BASKET BALL
LAST MONDAY NIGHT
The Nationals and Americans held
their regular Monday game of bas
ketball in the School gymnasium, to
a fair sited audience of enthusiasts.
It is interesting to note that the par
ents hare taken a healthy interest
in the athletic activities of their
children and have given their sup
port to the efforts of Supt. Collins
to build up a strong body of stud
ents under hi? charge.
The series stood on a 50-50 basis
prior to this game and great interest
was shown by both players and
spectators in the outcome of thfc
pame. The Nationals carried away
the honors by a score of 20 to the
Americans 12.
One more game is scheduled to be
played as the last of the series, un
less the Americans win the game
next Monday, in which case still
another one will be necessary to de
termine the championship. It is
hoped that at the Monday night
game a big turnout will be present
to root for the boys and also help
them increase their funds. The
money obtained from the admissions
to these games has gone to buy
suits for the players and after the
final game a banquet will be given to
members of both teams.

SOME ONE SAID SOMETHING AltOUT CHAItACTKII
AND REPUTATION.
Just consider for a moment and compare our Dan Sutherland with
any other candidate iu the field. Don’t take street talk ask the old
res|dent of Nome for facts.
To Meet with you In every phase of Life? To work with you in
many vocations. To represent you in the Legislature. To fight and'
suffer with you in all of your troubles. To live with you continuously
since the early history of the camp. If these qualifications are not suffic
ient to you to cause you not to let the grass grow under your feet and see
that DAN gets every possible vote? You should be entitled to the treat
ment that yon have received in Grigsby hands. Remembering that a
parasite is always a parasite and will always live on you and men like
DAN SUTHERLAND.
The Alaska Dispatch published In Seattle says: Date January 17th.
“On Feb. 19 it was announced the Hazelet forces would support. Galen
of Cordova for delegate in the primaries." And later in the same article it
has been previously announced that Galen woutd not file if Valentine
would. Valentine confided to his friends that the Donoboe (Democratic
Boss > Troy. Hazeiet. combination had a joker in it. and the article winds
up by asserting without hesitation, that all that combination has in mind"
reducing the influence of Gov. Scott C. Bone in Alaska affairs.
There is only one or two copies of this paper in town just arrived
yesterday see if you can see the article.
BUT VOTER what it means reducing the influence of the Governor
the personal representative of the President in Alaska will result in what.
The final defeat of your aims and needs for the development of Alaska?
Will you stand for that, la this money being spent in Nome and the pur
pose of these questionable men is it directed for Alaska1 benefit or for the
benefit of the Guggv.
WHERE THE MONEY IB COMING FROM
FROM A RECENT SUTHERLAND LETTER:
“I note that the A. S. S. Co. has announced reduced rates to
Nome on certain commodities, but I see no reason why there should not
be a general sweeping redactions in all lineB. The wages of seamen have
been reduced about 50 per cent. The cost of oil has dropped $1.00 per;
barrel, and they are receiving a subsidy of $100,000.00 from the P. O.
Dept., for carrying the mail. And yet Alaska is the only spot in the world
were water rates have not been reduced. I do not believe they can bull it
through much longer.”
YES MR. VOTER THEY WILL CONTINUE TO EXTORT MONEY
IN THE WAY OF HIGH FREIGHT RATES AND USE IT TO BLIND YOU?
USE YOU. AND MISLEAD YOU.
THERE IS PENDING NOW IN CONGRESS THE MOST CONSTRUC
TIVE LEGISLATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALASKA EVER PRESENT
ED. THE FAILURE OF PASSING THESE MEASURES WILL DAMM
ALASKA FOR ANOTHER GENERATION. CAN YOU TAKE THE
CHANCE MR. PIONEER YOU HAVE NOT THE TIME TO WAIT MUCH
LONGER FOR ALASKA TO COME TO ITS OWN? THE DEFEAT OF
THESE PENDING LAWS WILL IT BENEFIT YOU OR THE GUGGS?
ANOTHER SENTENCE IN THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD MR.
SUTHERLAND TALKING:
“Should the monopoly get its clutches on the railroad the whole
interior section would be at Its mercy just as the coast is at present.”.
A WORD TO DAD JAMES.
DEAR DAD WE KNOW YOU ARE A LITTLE HURT BUT FOR
THE SAKE OF ALASKA AND YOUR OWN AS WELL AS YOUR OLD
TIMERS INTEREST DO NOT SACRIFICE OUR BRIGHT FUTURE FOR
A LITTLE PERSONAL SPITE.
ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
Rumor In circulation that Sutherland la in favor of turning over
the Railroad to Outsiders,
That statement is a malicious lie. Mr. A1 Nicholson has in his
possession a copy of the Congressional record dated Jan. 9. 1922, and
to all that desire can read it. It will do you good to read the exact words
that Sutherland uses in condemnation of such a scheme fostered, agitated
and desired by the interests and all those that are hired by them.
A broad unmlstakeable statement entered in the CongesstOnal Re
cord cannot be repudiated; no man would go back on such testimony.
YOU CANNOT SWALLOW SUCH LIES.

THE MARSHAL IN POLITICS
Never in the history or the Territory have Federal officials shown
such a wanton disrespect for the rights of the people as they have in their
campaign on behalf of Sutherland. Congress is now in session. Where
is Sutherland? Is he occuyping his seat in the House of Representatives
safeguarding th^ interests of our Territory? No! He is campaigning
in Southeastern Alaska to feather his own political nest, while the needs
of Alaska, so far as he is concerned, can go to the bow-wows.
What is the situation in this Division? We have the abominable
spectacle of the United States Marshal's office converted into a private
political bureau for and on behalf of one Dan Sutherland. And let it be.,
said in passing that Federal District Judge Lomen and United States Dis
trict Clerk Snndback have demeaned themselves as become officials oc
cupying their exalted positions. They would not and did not stoop to be
come political ward healers while drawing their sustenance from your Uncle
Sam. We have had a recent example o% the Judicial prmine^being
draged in the political quagmire, and thank God that present indications
do not presage a repetition. What the sentiments of these latter named
gentlemen are with respect to the Galen-Sntherland controversy we do
not know, have no business to know, and furthermore, we do not care.
9uftce it to say that they have strictly adhered to the Federal injunction
against "pernicious political activity."
It wood be a sad reflection indeed upon the intelligence of the
voters of the Second Division if they relied on one M. Ward Griffith as their
political Moses to lead them out of the Wilderness. Jost contemplate
the spectacle within the confines of your own bourdoir and you will laugh
your head off. M. Ward Griffith. United States Marshal. Mentor of
Republican politics in this Division! Bosh!
Are you going to put the seal of your approval upon the United
States Marshal’s office'With ita corps of deputies and claqners being turned
into a political machine headquarters? If not VOTE FOR GALEN.
Now is your opportunity. Your complaints about the infamons condi
tions that are sure to follow such a deplorable state of affairs will come
with mighty bad grace If you do not do all within your power to insure
the Second Division for Galen by a tremendous majority.
Hi:THERJ iA MVS SUPPORT OF NEW BILL, ,^Kt%NS HIS DEFEAT.
FAIRBANKS, April 22—Sutherland’s support of the bill introduced
by Senator New which authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to lease
the Government railroad to private interests will mean his overwhelming
defeat in the Fourth Division. O. P. Gustaud. Campaign Manager for
Sutherland admitted in a signed article in the News-Miner of March
thirtieth that Sutherland supported the New Bill. Galen will carry the
Fourth Division on this issue alone. Galen has pledged himself to fight
the New Bill and one man rule in Alaska.
GALEN WILL CARRY KETCHIKAN.
KETCHIKAN, April 22—Galen will carry Ketchikan by a large
majority. Mr. Stackpole, the local manager for James L. Galen, has
received assurances of' victory from every town in the First Division. All
Mr. Galen’s friends are working hard in his behalf and are very much
elated over the present outlook.
ANCHORAGE SOLID FOR GALEN.
ANCHORAGE, April It— Galen is very popular here and will
leave Sutherland tar behind. Sutherland’s attitude in supporting the bill
introduced by Senator New providing for the leasing of the Government
Railroad to private interests will cost him the support of this division.
Reports received here from the First Division indicate that Galen
will carry it by a large majority.
THIRD DIVISION WILL GIVE GALEN OVER THOUSAND MAJORITY
SEWARD, April 22—The most conservative people in this locality
estimate that Galen will carry the Third Division by from a thousand to
twelve hundred majority. L. E. Whlttemore, who represents Mr.
Galen’s interests here, declared that he never saw a more enthusiastic
corps of supporters in any previous campaign in the Territory than those
behind Mr. Galen. He further declared that when the interests are
attempting to acquire the Government Railroad, it is very important that
we have a substantial Representative in Washington to prevent the road
falling into the hands of private corporations.
