f he New Democracy.
continued from 1st page,
somebody the double cross, Now
let usjdraw on our immagination
for a while and see if it is possi
ble to figure out the middle. Has
democracy in the Fourth Division
degenerated to the tactics of the
racecourse wherein the horse that
loses the race wins tho most mo
ney? When the situation is care
fully studied ; it appears that the
whole frame-up is to secure the
election of Tom McGowan. Me
Gowan is unpopular with the
mass of the voters*in the Fourth
Division, but very Useful to the
gang that has controlled this di
vision politically, economically &
otherwise since the birth of the
camp. The last election showed
that his strength in this division
was ah m, one-fou'rth of the vote
cast. consisted of'the vote
that could be controlled through
the i: fluehce of the N. C. Co. Ir
the corning election he will retain
that vote, andm'all probability,
will luceive the support of the
White Pass Company, also the
support of the Guggenheim influ
ence in the- Idicarod, but with j
that, the majority of the Voters
this division will be against
him.
Now the frame up is to divide
that majority among other candi
dates, that his fixed minority be
comes a plurality of the votes of'
this division. Now Mr. Callahan's i
candidacy will in nowise a.feel
the fixed vote'fot McGowan, kt
will serve to divide the opposition
thus further increasing the chan-'
ecs of the N. C. candidate. Since 1
the foundation of tiie town of |
fairbanks its affairs have been
McGowanized, but with the pros I
pect of a railroad coming into the
territory, it now becomes neces
sary to MdGowanize the Alaska
legislature in the interest of the
transportation companies which
he represents.
The futuro welfare ot Alaska'
will depend largely upon the p.c-!
tion of the President & the Alas?-'
xa legislature in the near future,
in regard' to the railroad and
'he transportation question. ' As
all should know, there is a leas
ing clause in the Alaska railroad
bill that gives discretionary pow
er to the President to either ope • j
rate the road by the government,'
or to lease it to corporations or
individuals, the'determination of
which is of the utmost import
ance to tlie residents'of this ter
itofiy. The action of the President
will be governed largely bv the
advice that he receives from the
legislature, and every person in
the Xanana valley should know
what would be the advice of Mr,
McGowan.
t Beyond all reasonable doubt, the
transportation ' companies' that
tor.the past ten years have plun
dered the people of this territory,
will endeavor to secure the lease
to the railroad in order to protect
.heir water transportation mono
poly. They do not want competi
tion of ar.y kind. Hence their anx
;ety to secure the election of Mr.
McGowan. Besides he Would
prove an all round corporation
i epi esehtative. With a delegate
in congress such'as Mr. Wicker
sham w ho declares that he is op-J
posed to the government going!
'■ito the business of operating
coal mines, railroads or any other
easiness indiscriminately forpro
tit” and McGowan' in the legisla
ture, directing legislation against'
government operation of the rail
road, the President could be eas
ily deceived as to the wishes and
M snts of the Alaska people, re.1
suit- this territory having
saddled upon it i^ government
constructed railroad operated for
the benefit of ,r, transportation
monopoly, instead o,f for the bon
efit. o.f the struggling pioneers of l
'Alaska, Conditions,ip., interior .A
lasUa. today have* reached that
stage where it means monopoly
move out or the people move;out.
they cannot dwell much .longer
together. ,Nq people ' in the U. S.
have been more ipercilessly plun
dered by, transportation compa
nies than have tho people of Alas
ka, and .the chpef counselor of
the plunderbund has been. Tom
McGowan, He is, now presented
.to the voters of, Alaska for their
lawmaker. I he newspapers are
now counseling the voters to use
common, sense on election day &
they could not possibly follow the
advice better than by repudiat
the whole gang of old party poli
ticians and supporting the Social
ist ticket from top to bottom.
1 he Socialist party . nominees
are aU men from the
ranks of the working, class and
lave a common interest with
neir ciass, f hey are not mort
gaged body and son! to the Alas
ka .plunderbund. the working
men and women of Alaska have
been humbugged and, plundered
long enough and experience
should open their, eyes to their ae
tu il condition at the present time
and teach them to. break away
tram tho artful schemers. The on
*y thing they can hope for by e
lectingthe stool-pigeons of the
gang is a continuation of their
former experience. Voters of the
4th Division! WAKE UP!
Hearst, Jcurnalism- & War
Continued from 1st page
And if, out Oi the criminal- war
in Europe, thefe shall come a
war of revolution, labor battling
for its life and liberty against the
capitalist class that bus driven it
to arms, theii'our stand will be
with labor.
i iiat, Sir, is the position of the
York Cad and the militant
working class. In the face of the
never ending propaganda of
peace put forth by the millions
of Socialist working people of the
world, your feeble effort is rath
er tardy, not to say inconsistent.
I here are too many wavering
iines in the record of your news
paper, There have been too many
convolutions in its caheer. Labor
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
knows the Hearst newspapers too
well.

In a ward, Mr. Lawrence, the
working- class and the New Vork
Call do not know yon in the fight
for peace. You are a stranger at
the door and before you enter
you must show hands that are
clean of all agitation for war and
that intend to stay clean after
the present crisis has passed,
Peace in Europe is no less desira
ble than was peace in America
when you cried so passionately
for the death grips with Mexico
and with Japan. , .
Take away your little list of
war fiends in disguise. Take away
your hateful Kings and vour A
merican lords and dukes. Take
them all away. They are fit Cofn
pany tor you, but they defile the
air for the working class. Flaunt
them over the pages of a newspa
I per that fought labor as labor ts
j seldom fought. We know them
i rdl, and with them and with your
I pape>- we have nothing in com
mon. For them we have nothing
| hut supreme contempt and dis
I dain.
