THE CAN'PUlATFS
What promised u tew days ago
to be a very tame and uninterest
ing campaign for the control of
muuicipal affairs, with only one
ticket in the iteld, had turned
into a three-cornered contest bear
ing all the warrai 1 ks for the de
velopment of a good deal of en
trcvtic "lection work tmorrow by
the adherents of the different fac
tions in the fight. The first in the
field was the "C!ti?.e»s' " party
ticket with the names cf six of the
present councilmen nominated for re
election, the name of X. 0. Hardy
for the seventh member, and V, I.
Hahn for school director. Then
came the "Taxpayers" party with
\V. J. Bledsoe, Frank Suffecool,
Frank Feero, Jas. A. Nettles. James
Kock. Ueorge Moul end Kugetie
Snith for councih:>en and Wm
Shearer for school director. and
Saturday night the "Independent"
Party, composed principally of wo
men, nominated Mrs. \\°. Mc
K»-nzie. Mrs. K. T McBrien, Mrs.
F. J. Weber. Mrs. Jennie Oanty,
Mrs. Harriet Pullen. Mrs. Kliza
beth Harrison and Mrs. H. P. Kirm
>e for tile council, and Mrs Annio
.1. Rousseau for schOf«l director.
On the "Taxpayers" party tick
et two members, J A. Net
tles, and Frank Feero hate
declined to run, and on the
"Independent" j»j:riy ticket three
members, Mrs. F. J. Weber, Mrs.
W. C. McKenal© and Mrs. H. D.
Klrmst-, Lave also declares their
Intention not to make the race.
Of the three tickets the Daily
| Alaskan is in favor of the nominees
' of the Citizens' party for the rea
son that it is composed of men who
' have shown their ability to handle
civic affairs in an impartial and
economical manner and for the
further reason that tluy have many
plans for the 'welfare o* the town
started, and partly uiuler way, tvhic'
cannot be taken up aru pushed to
a satisfactory ending by newly elect
ed members, who had not been 'a
touch with their inception and
would therefore not have a thorough
grasp of the situation and its re
quirements. We believe, therefore,
without prejudice to the nominees
of either one of fhe other tickets,
that the present councilmen should
j be returned for another year, in
J order to give them time in which
1 to round out and complete the good
work they now have under way,
and which would suffer a delay of
several months, if not total el
J imination, by a change in the ad
ministration of town affairs.
Free Immigration a
Serious Menace to
American Standard
of Living
Bu JOHN HAYS HAMMOND. Noted
Mining Engineer
THE safety valve upon which the country ir-ust depend for industrial
peace is the opportunity for the wage earner to earn a livelihood
for himself and family according to the American standards of
living and, moreover, to have the opportunity for advancement.
PROFIT SHARING UNDOUBTEDLY IS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN THE
SOLUTION OF THIS PROBLEM.
While 1 have great sympathy for the oppressed of other lands, and
especially for those politically oppressed, I believe that "charitv begins
ut home" and that no IMMIGRATION SHOULD BE ALLOWED
TO THREATEN THE MAINTENANCE OF THE AMERICAN
STANDARD OF LIVING AMONG THE INDUSTRIALS BY AN
OVERSl'PPLY OF LABOR, EVEN THOUGH IT BE TEMPO
RARILY OF ADVANTAGE TO OUR NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL
DEVELOPMENT.
1 do not believe in the democratization of labor—that is, to have in
dustrial methods, processes and direction determined by employees—as
this would result in endless intrigue, bringing politics—that is to say,
intrigues—and other factors which would have an undermining and sub
versive intiuence in industrial operations.
Justice Demands the Granting of Equal Suf
frage to Women
Bu JACOB GOULD SCHURMAN, President Cornell Universltg
ALTHOUGH strongly urged iu past year, 1 havo always refused to
oppose the demand for woman suffrage. I have felt decidedly
that it was a matter for the women themselves to decide. THE
WOMEN ARK NOW MAKING THEIR SENTIMENTS PRETTY
CLEARLY HEARD, AND JUSTICE SEEMS TO ME TO DE
MAND THE GRANTING OF THEIR REQUEST.
Furthermore, I recognize that there are many matters of public con
cern in which the active participation and vote3 of women would be
highlv beneficial.
* * *
I HAVE IN MIND SUCH MATTERS AS THE PHYSICAL AND MORAL
CLEANNESS OF OUR CITIES, THE IMPROVEMENT OF EDUCATION,
THE PROTECTION OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN ENGAGED IN INDUS
TRIES AND OTHER MATTERS EMBRACED WITHIN THE CONCEPTION
OF SOCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL JUSTICE.
* * H
Even in national affairs the great cause of peace could not fail to be
advanced if women had the suffrage, and peace and good will between
the nations and the amelioration of the economically oppressive system
of preparation for tw under which the modern industrial world groans
are eurelv among the foremost demands of the moral spirit of our civiliza
tion.
ACKNOWLEDGE IT 1
Alaska Has to Bow to the Inevit
able—Scores of Endorsements
l'rovo It.
After reading the public statcs
rnent of this fellow-.iufforer given
below, you must come to this
conclusion: A remedy which prov
ed so beneficial years ago, with the
kidneys can naturally b<*. expected to
perform the same work in similar
cases. Read this:
Mrs. L. E. Eriekson, 21 Second
St., Astoria, Ore., sajs: "About
three years ago 1 began to have
trouble with my kidneys. I went
from bad to worso aud about three
months ago my back began to
trouble me. It ached awfully and
was v<.ry sore. My head ached con
stantly and I was right down sick.
I knew 1 had to do something, and
rending that DoanV. Kidney Pills
ha'* helped others s.i much, I got
seme. Four box's benefited me
wcnde.'xully.'"
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney rills—the same
that Mrs. Eriekson had. Foster-Mil
