gtelature should pass a bill
for the protection of our res
ident fishermen, trollers,
seiners and gill-netters from
the non-resident fishermen by
the imposition of a high
license fee; all non-resident
fishermen to pay the tax un
till they have established a
residence in the Territory by
living therein one year con

I also believe in a bill pro

meal and oil.
AN OPEN LETTER FROM A. L.
OLTS TO THE VOTERS FIRST
DIVISION.
Because of the unfair March
issue of the News Bulletin printed
by John Frame, it is necessary for
me to make my position known.
First:—My letter contained there
in was a paid advertisement and
should have appeared therein as
such.
Second:—John Frame and his
friends appear to be endorsing my
candidacy to the House of Rep
resentatives. While I am glad to
get support wherever I can, still X
will not consent to be a party to a
game or conspiracy by Frame or
anybody else.
Third:—The men really support
ed by Frame are not the strongest
men for the positions but are mere
pawns to be used for Frame’s per
sonal ends. I refuse to be his pawn.
Fourth:—I want it known that
T am supporting the following men
for office and that if elected I will
work with them in putting over a
program for the good of Alaska.
Dan Sutherland, for Delegate to
Congress.
Charles Benjamin, for Senator.
Peter McCormack, for Representa
tive; William L. Paul, for Rep
resentative; Grover C. Winn, for

A. L. OLTS
To The Voters of Alaska
I, the undersigned candidate for
Representative in the Legislature of
the Territory of Alaska, herein de
clare my policies.
I came to Alaska over 30 years
ago and established a residence in
the Circle City district, also the
Forty Mile, Tanana and Cement Belt
country. I was in Dawson in 1897,
a building contractor and miner in
those days, building many of the
first buildings in Dawson City, in
cluding the Grand Forks Hotel at
Eldorado and Bonanza.
In 1898 I helped locate and stake,
Star City on the Yukon River near
Eagle, after which I mined on
Franklin Gulch and Chicken Creek
at the head of Forty Mile.
I have been a resident of Ketchi
kan for 4 years.
I am a thorough believer in Alas
ka for Alaskans. I believe in Home
Rule and the passage of the Con
troller Bill which will give Ala3kans
the right to elect their own officials
from the residents of the Territory.
I believe in the control of our fish
eries, our forests, our game and all
our resources by the people of Alas
ka, in fact Home Rule for Alaska,
which means Statehood.
I believe the next Territorial le
The injustice that has been dealt
the local trap owners by the Bu
reau of Fisheries has proyen be
yond a doubt the need of home rule.
I believe in the passage of a Com
munity Property law.
I also stand for a resolution seek
ing permission from the Federal
Government for the exportation of
logs from Alaska to any part of
the world.
I believe in Home Rule for the
people and by the people of Alaska*
and in any bill that will be to the
advantage of the common citizen
of Alaska. If nominated and elect
ed this will be my policy.
A. L. OLTS.
