and Robertson, and joins with them
in lighting Sutherland.
PAT U1JLDEA
Pat Gildea is a personal as well
as a political enemy of Dan Suthei
land. He became a personal enemy
because Sutherland did not nom
inate Pat’3 step-son to West Point.
Pat was the closest friend that
Senator John W. Dunn had. They
were together in Juneau during the
last session incessantly. Senator
Dunn when lie lirst came to Juneau
promised to vote for the Controller
Bill. After the long and close as
sociation with Pat Gildea (he intro
duced several iish bills for Pat),
Senator Dunn voted AGAINST the
Home Rule Bill. Pat Gildea has
never declared in FAVOR of the
Controller Bill. Even in his letter
(USA Bulletin for March), he does
not agree to work for or to sup
port the Controller Bill. He beats
around the bush.
Gildea is against an elective fish
commission. He is opposed to a
“political football’' of a Commis
sion. This means he supports an
appointive commission by the fed
eral governor.
EUGENE WACKER
He says: “A majority of the vot
ers in southeastern Alaska have
met “Gene” and know him person
ally.” This is very true and argues
most strongly for his rejection for
endorsements as a legislator.
He seeks the Indian vote on the
ground (Frame’s letter to Deputy
Marshal Eddy, dated February 14,
1928) that “his wife is a part na
tive, a graduate of an eastern
school, and the granddaughter of
an Indian Chief.” This is not
reason enough. I have great re
spect for her and if “gene” were
hj-.lf as worthy as she is, I would
say “vote for Gene.” But unfor
tunately, it is the Mr. and not the
Mrs. who seeks election.
CHARLES DARWEL
Darwell is regarded in Wrangell
as a good citizen but unfortunately
tied up with Karl Thiele, and a
3trong supporter of fish traps. If
Darwell is right, then Hunt is all
w rong.
A. L. OLTS
Olts is a good man and worthy
of election. He was put on the
frame-up slate merely to be knock
ed down in November. The frame
uppers considered him the weakest
man supported by me. You will
see. In the fall they hope to dis
card him for Joe Ream, another
Indian vote catcher via hi3 wife, al
so a graduate of a school in the
States.
A Great Food
Resource
Thus begin a one-half page “adv.”
in the Ketchikan Chronicle.
Here is the rest of the paid ad
vertisement;
“Herring to the value of approxi
mately one and one-half million
dollars are taken from Alaskan wat
ers annually and given to the na
tion and the world as food to sus
tain a hardy people.
To pack these herring, much
equipment is necessary, vast invest
ments are made, scores of men and
women are employed, all for the
betterment of Alaska.
The herring packers, particularly
the members of our association, are
anxious always to cooperate with
the government and the people of
Alaska, to bring about such condi
tions as will be mutually advan
tageous. We hold that the conser
vation of herring is essential, our
greatest problem being to know
just what proper conservation is,
and how it may be brought about,
the question to be solved not by
theories but by scientific investiga
tion, a thing we hope our govern
ment will undertake immediately.”
It is signed by the Pacific Herring
Packers Association.
Here is the situation;
The herring packers hire all their
seine crews IN SEATTLE. They
hire all other help IN SEATTLE.
They buy all their lumber and sup
plies IN SEATTLE. They pay off
all their help IN SEATTLE.
They pay a tax of about $25,000
to Alaska, and that is all they do
for the Territory.
On the other hand, they have des
troyed many herring areas. Our
halibut boats and trollers have been
laid up for several weeks because
they could get no herring for bait.
Why should we favor these fer
tilizer plants who are pretending
that they are manufacturing “food?”
