mittee all candidates for the
Territorial Legislature are mem
bers, and if you have any sug
gestions to make we will be
glad to receive them. We are
giving all members of the
ticket the same publicity and
intend to go down the line for
the entire ticket. We hope
that the Republicans of your
end of the division will adopt
a similar course.
Very truly yours,
ARTHUR FRAME
In reply to the above, Mr.
Murray says:
Cordova, Alaska, July 20, 1926.
Arthur Frame Esq.,
Anchorage, Alaska.
Dear Arthur:
1 came irom my camp a tew
days ago on my way to the
coast and received yours of
July 9 at McCarthy.
I note that I have been plac
ed on the Executive Committee
of the Anchorage Republican
Club, and I note your sugges
tion question as to whether the
Republicans of my part of the
country “intend to go down
the line for the entire ticket.’’
Speaking for myself, I will
not vote for Mr. Sutherland.
I have not been to the States
for over twenty-one years.
Most of the past twenty-three
years has been spent by me
in the woods, and the brooding
loneliness of the life I have
lived among Alaska’s purple
hills for many years has caus
ed me to be sensitive even to
strangers maligning our people.
Confining myself to the ter
rible attack made upon Judge
Ritchie, I am alarmed that or
ganized malice can produce
the situation which resulted in
Mr. Coolidge’s withdrawing
Judge Ritchie’s name from the
senate . There is a keen re
membrance of the long strug
gle to have our appointive of
ficers chosen from among our
own people and it seems a
tragedy to lose the results of
that long and painful struggle
on one hand.
Judge Ritchie is a scholarly
lawyer and a just man; judi
cially tempered, fair in his de
cisions and humane in his judg
ments against unfortunate fel
low men. He has trodden the
trail of judicial rectitude un
touched by flattery and unaw^
ed by slander. I cannot vote
for Mr. Sutherland who com
manded the forces which so
atrociously attacked the Judge
of the Third Division.
The expression of these sen
timents may have an evil effect
upon my own candidacy—such
is the fortune of war and
politics; but the struggle thru
life teaches us that we cannot
pack waer upon both shoulders.
I have a full realizing sense
that my own election is neith
er important nor necessary to
the people of the ThirdDivi
sion; but the safety of the
American government depends
upon the freedom and integrity
of our judges.
Yours truly
JOSEPH H. MURRAY
