SOLICITOR GENERAL MITCHELL
ADMITS DIFFICULTY OF
LONG-DISTANCE
GOVERNMENT
-o
William D. Mitchell, solicitor gen
eral of the United States, came to
Alaska to look over the matter of
selecting a judge for the First Div
ision.
In discussing Alaska he states
that it is very difficult to handle
matters from Washington because
of the great distance.
Why not leave it to the elected
Delegate to Congress, Mr. Mitchell?
Somehow or other it seems that
our Washington government has
never thought of trying the good
old principle upon which our na
tion was founded, “the consent of
the governed.”
Had To Examine Her Notes
“What was the name of the hotel
you stopped at in Denver, dear?”
“Oh! I can’t remember the name.
Just a second and I’ll look through
my towels.”
GEORGE GRIGSBY
George Grigsby has been wiring
to various newspapers in Alaska
about his wonderful reception at
Nome and Fairbanks and says that
he will surely carry those districts
as against Dan Sutherland.
That is hard to believe.
George is too well known there
for that.
GRIGSBY’S ISSUES
George Grigsby’s issues are
1st—Repeal of the Bone Dry act.
Of course knowing George’s per
sonal habits in that direction we
can understand wThy he is so en
thusiastic about the repeal of the
bone dry act. However it is not
a burning issue to the voters of
Alaska.
2nd:—Home Rule on Fisheries.
This is also the platform of Dan
Sutherland and the Republican
party. We only hope that the
many friends of George’s in Nome
and Fairbanks will believe him and
support measures in the legisDt've
that seek to accomplish this re
sult. The tvouble is that the Nome
delegations have consistently op -
p\sed this.
3rd:—George’s other issues are
very vague. He talks about the
wonderful future possibilities in
Alaska, more federal aid, and pos
sible pulp development, but he
doesn’t say anything about it so
must conclude that he was just fil
ling m the time.
WHAT IS THE MATTER
What is the matter with other
important issues, George?
In ycur reported speeches (sub
stance of which you wired down
yourself to the various newspa
pers) you make no mention of the
CONTROLLER BILL. Why not
support it in Nome and Fairbanks?
Why support it only in the First
Division?
FISHTRAPS
You talk about our fisheries,
George, and the evils of long dis
tance control, why don’t you tell
the voters where you stand on the
fishtrap question?
Are you for them or against
them?
HOOVER and SUTHERLAND
George entertains his audiences
by telling them that Sutherland
fought against Hoover and for that
reason should vote for him.
That is a good reason for voting
for Sutherland because on the is
sue of the fishery reserve, Dan was
right and Hoover was wrong.
Hoover defended himself by saying
that his reserve orders were mere
temporary devices, but nevertheless
he was wrong and Congress in the
language of the new fishery law
said so very plainly.
SMITH AND GRIGSBY
Grigsby says that if Smith is
elected, all will go well with Alaska
and therefore “vote for me” says
George. But, suppose, as the best
informed people think, Hoover is
elected, what becomes of George's
argument? In that case, unless
there is a distinct change in Mr.
Hoover’s policies, the people of Al
aska will expect their delegate to
continue to oppose the policies
now followed by the Bureau of
Fisheries and Mr. Hoover.
Grigsby condemns the policies
uf the Bureau of Fisheries, and in
the same breath he condemns
Sutherland for fighting those poli
cies.
The People of Alaska will get no
relief from Washington, D. C. The
worst fishery law ever proposed
for Alaska was the Alexander Fish
Bill sponsored by the Wilson ad
ministration. Under it, the can
neries would have title to their
trapsites and it would have been
unlawful to fish WITHIN ONE
MILE OF THE TRAP. Until the
Democrats show that they will not
again try to cut our throats, we
cannot support them no matter
how badly we are treated by the
Republicans.
