ger, although Frame said he had re
formed.
Frame returned to Washington
and deposited the money in the
safety vaults of the Riggs National
Bank. He paid $500. of this mon
ey to George Cain of Washington,
and PROMISED TEN THOSAND
DOLLARS MORE. John Frame
could not get any more money
from his “friends” because A1
White, now U. S .Marshal through
the work of Frame and George Cain
who had gotten his name back on
the slate after it had been twice re
jected by the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, refused to appoint the men
recommended by Frame.
That is what caused the break be
tween John Frame and A1 White.
(Frame and White patched up their
differences when Frame went t ■
Jun.au at the expense of the UNIT
ED SONS, and as a result Frame is
not fighting A1 White NOR DID HE
ORGANIZE A FORT OF THE UNIT
ED SONS AT JUNEAU.)
THE SUTHERLAND-FRAME
BREAK
When Frame came back to Alaska
in 1925, he immediately began a
fight on Dan Sutherland. He it
was who persuaded Harry McCain
to file against Sutherland in the
primaries of 1926. Frame is now
fighting McCain because be won’t
take orders.
WHAT CAUSED THE SUTHER
LAND BREAK
The break came because Frame
demanded that Sutherland support
A1 White and Curley Lovel (carpet
baggers both) and Sutherland re
fused. “It would be a violation of
our election pledges. These men
have not been residents of Alaska
for over ten years,” he said.
“Oh, NO,” Frame argued. “Once
an Alaskan, ALWAYS an Alaskan.-'
FEEDING THE SNAKE
When Sutherland was coming to
Alaska, he found John Frame in Se
attle. Frame was stranded and ask
ed Sutherland for enough money to
get home on. Sutherland told
Frame that he did not have the
money just then but to be down at
the boat as he was leaving the next
morning and he would have it.
Frame over-slept the next morning
and so Sutherland gave $40. to
Capt. Ed Williams who gave the
money to Frame. That Is how
Frame got to Ketchikan—travel
ling first class on Sutherland’s mon
ev. As soon as he got to Ketchi
kan, Frame began organizing the
primaries against Sutherland.
FIGHTING SUTHERLAND
In a recent meeting of the Frame
cabal, in the UNITED SONS print
ing office, (Bill Hoskins, Eugene
\v acker and others were present)
Frame said that “We had got to
down Paul (William L. Paul) be
fo!*e we can get Sutherland. We
can get the Democrats to go into
ti e Republican primaries and ask
them to vote for Sutherland for de
legate. Hunt for Senator; Darwell
of Wrangell), Gildea, and Wacker
for Representatives. If we endorse
Olts, they can’t say we are fighting
all the men supported by Paul, and
besides Olts is their weakest man,
and we can beat him with Joe Ream
in the fall."
GRTGSBY JOTNS FRAME MACHINE
Frame then said, “I have made an
arrangement with George Grigsby
and he has agreed to have his peo
ple, the Democrats, vote in our pri
maries for any four men we pick.”
We now find the strange combina
tion of Tom Donohue and George
Grigsby playing second fiddles to
John Frame.
PECULIAR NATIONAL COMMIT
TEEMAN
Tn the fight for control of the
United Sons, George Grigsby, Demo
cratic Candidate to oppose Dele
gate Sutherland, has been the lead
er of the FRAME faction (which in
cludes Stanley Oaksmith, Roy Jones
Forest J. Hunt, Eugene Wacker, Pat
Gildea, Chris Hoover, Jim Virdin,
and others.
Frame got the rules of admission
changed to get Grigsby into the
United Sons. Wacker also solicited
Arthur Humber to join. The Frame
crowd supported the admission of
Dr. Mustard, the man said by Roy
.Tones to have told Judge Kehoe
to lay off the boot-leggers or “You
won’t hold your job a month.” ?
BETRAYAL OF PETERSBURG
AND SCOW BAY
When the Frame crowd saw that
they were in the minority in the an
nual convention last February,
Frame sent Stanley Oaksmith to
Petersburg and Scow Bay to or
ganize UNITED SONS FORTS and
to GET THEIR PROXIES. When
the Petersburg people suspected
that Oaksmith was secretly support
ing Grigsby, he was asked the point
ed question. He evaded by saying
“The United Sons is a NON-PARTI
ZAN organization. We will not sup
port anybody who does not support
its principles. Perhaps not now,
but sometime, we might oppose
Sutherland.”
OAKSMITH VOTED WITH
GRIGSBY AND FRAME EVERY
TIME AND USED THE PETERS
BURG AND SCOW BAY PROXIES
AGAINST DAN SUTHERLAND’S
FRIENDS.
THE LEOPARD SPOTS
While Frame is denouncing car
pet baggers in public, he has enter
ed into a secret conspiracy witn
them for the control of Territorial
politics.
He recently wrote a letter to a
deputy marshal at Douglas reveal
ing a part of the program which la
substantially as I have outlined
above and said “When you pas3
through Ketchikan, be sure and
stop. I can TELL you much I will
not write. * * * I have just 2 axes
in Alaska to grind and I’ll grind
’em, too.” The two axes are Suth
erland and Paul.
THE FRAME TICKET
There is a frame-up.
FOREST J. HUNT
In this Division he is supporting
Forest J. Hunt for Senator. In
1925, Frame denounced Hunt for
introducing a memorial in the Sen
ate COMMENDING carpet-bagger
Scott C. Bone’s “fine and able ad
ministration.” Hunt introduced th«
memorial at the request of Senator
Tony Dimon, prominent Democrat
and Tom Marquam supporter.
In the 1927 Session, Hunt's vote
elected Bartley Howard president
of tne Senate where Howard later
KILLED the Controller Bill, altho
Hunt was warned by Judge Wicker
sham, Senator Steel, Representa
tives Benjamin, Worth and Paul,
that Howard would use his power
against the Controller Bill.
Everbody who watched the last
session of the legislature credits
Forest J. Hunt with being constitu
tionally unable to teamwork with
anybody, and they know that HUNT
KILLED THE CONTROLLER BILL
BY VOTING FOR HOWARD. What
he did later is of no consequence.
Hunt seconded the nomination
of Lester D. Henderson for Com
missioner of Education even though
he knows that Henderson is a poli
tical bedfellow of Bert Faulkner,
