PETITION FOR
JUDGE WALKER
President Taft Will be Asked to
Appoint Him to the
Bench
Tin; following petition is being
extensively signed about town
today asking for (he appointment
of lion. Geo. 11. Walker lo succeed
Judge Cnshinan in the Third ju
dicial division:
To the President, Washington,
D. C.:
We, the undersigned citizens of
Valdez, District of Alaska, re
spectfully petition your excel
lency to appoint as successor to
Judge Cushnian, of the Third di
vision, George II. Walker, U. S.
district attorney for the Third di
vision. We hereby endorse the
administration of Judge Walker
and testify to you that in the con
duct of his department in the
Third division, he has at all times
been a wise, conservative and
able officer and has personally
supervised the details of his de
partment and given to all its un
dertaking a high and helpful in
lluence.
We further testify that Judge
Walker has helped Judge ('ush
man in the administration of his
department and has the capacity
to exercise a wider usefulness in
the event of his promotion.
JENNINGS RAKES THE
SHACK PLATFORM
(Continued from page 1)
for years but in his platform he
insists (hut congress gives us a
a full form of territorial govern
ment like New. Mexico ami Ari
zona. Il«' is killing us with too
much kindness, and is giving us
more than we can take care of.
There will be enough otllcers
created under Shark's plank to
go 'round so no one will be left
in the cold. He's like the man
who couldn't pay his help's wages
but was willing to raise them.
One would think he would abuse
the president for opposing home |
rule, yet he says: "We commend!
tin* president for. his friendly in
terest in our problems." 1 don't
think Shack was sincere when
he adopted that plank; lie could
not have been when lie endorsed
Taft and instructed his delega- j
lion to tiie national convention
to vote for the present incumbent
of the White Mouse. Shack
do -sift believe in home rule; I
doesn't want home rule and won't
have home rule. The day of
judgment for the republican par
ty has come, and you, gentlemen,
are the jury to pass judgment
upon the culprit next August.
Home rule is a democratic doc
trine from the time of the revo
lions, Bryan, Harmon, Clark,
have favored home rule for Alas
ka; has any republican of na
tional reputation gone as far?
Bryan says Alaska is lighting for
what the world over is asking for.
(live her home rule. If she
makes mistakes she will sutler
and correct the mistake. What
mistakes she makes she will be
accountable for to herself; if we
refuse her home rule we are re
sponsible for her. Taft wants
the territory run by a bureau ap
pointed by himself--a close fol
lower of Alexander Hamilton. He
is the man the Cordova conven
tion so fulsomely praised. We
do need a local legislature--an
eloctivo legislature responsible
for their acts to us. There are
many things such a legislature
could regulate; it could repeal the
road and poll tax law;, it could
regulate the occupation tax; it
could provide for teh indigent;
it could revise the Carter code
according to our needs; it could
pass an eight hour law; it could
pass a lien law, holding the,
property for wages due. Would
Mr. Oilmore give you these
things. No; hecauso Mr. Gil
more is Mr. Shackloford and Mr.
Shackleford is the "special in
terests."
My attitude toward the cor
porations—the Cluggcnheims, tho
Conners and all aggregations of
wealth is easily understood. My
party puts tho rights of man
above tho rights of property. I
would say to these great eorpor
atlons: I recognize that Alaska
cannot be dovoloped without tho
investment of capital; nor can it
be developed without the labor of
toilers. I would say to them:
Come, help us in this develop
ment, we do not hate you; we
want you to succeed, but you
must keep your hands off the hem
of the while-robed llgure of jus
tice; you must not corrupt our
courts; you must not seek to in
terfere with our juries; you must
not interfere in our legislation;
you, must pay your j^st propor
tion of taxes. If you do these
things no one will bother you.
I go before llie people unpledged
und unlrammeled. No corpora
tion, if I am elected, shall have
a voice in Ibi' appointment of a
single judge, district attorney,
marshal or commissioner. If
they attempt lo do the things
they should hot do, my hand, and
that of the Democratic party will
bo clenchcd against thorn and
they will bo driven from our
midst. I promise you, if elected
delegate, although elected on the
Democratic plaform and ticket, I
shall represent all Alaska and all
Alaskans. It seems to me that
Alaska should be represented in
congress by a member of the
Democratic parly. An independ
ent representative has no stand
ing; he takes no part in party
caucus; he is not taken into the
confidences of the party leaders.
The Republicans are torn in
party strife and disruption; they
are drunk and satiated with the
spoils of office, and the people
are sick and tired of the bom
bast of a Roosevelt and the weak
and vaccilating spirit, of Taft and
tlie subservience of the party to
tin' great corporations has caus
ed a revolt among the voters, who
will scuttle the water-logged bulk
ne\| November.
We have reason to be proud of
the Democrats under the leader
ship of Speaker Clark and Rep
resentative Underwood and have
turned to them like a ship to the
home port. Alaska needs a Dem
ocratic delegate—one in harmony
with the next national adminis
tration. Alaska, like Cinderella,
has long sat deserted by the lire
side while the sisters have gone
to the feast. Democracy will come
to her and shower upon her the
kind gifts of a fairy godmother,
banishing desolation, and will ar
ray her in all the beauty of pros
perity and American citizenship.
While the Republican party comes
to Alaska as the wolf came to
little Red Hiding Hood, to whet a
keen appetite and to snarl and
growl at the inanimate form
which it is about to devour.
