WHY
You Should Vote For
ROBERT 1 JENNINGS
For Delegate From Alaska
1 Ho has lived in Alaska for
14 years—seven of thoso years
Ui Juneau. Nono have question
ed or can question his ability or
industry. If you do not believe
lliis, write lo Juneau.
2 In tho pursuit of his profes
sion he has been called to nearly
overy portion of tho Territory,
and li*j is thoroughly familiar
with tho needs of Alaska..
3 lie hn.s no grievance.* lo air,
no axo to grind, and is free to
I'erve Alaska, unswayed by por
I r final likos or dislikes.
1 i lie is nol. connected, in any
Any, with corporations or other
persons seeking favors from the
government. While he has ever
been the friend and attorney of
the laborer and the poor man, yet
he is no blatant demagogue,
decking to array class against
c Iuks. Ho believes in "Equal
fights for all, and special priv
ileges for none."
5 He is in political harmony
wilh tho dominant party in the
present House of Representa
Uve\ and wilh what will be tho
dominant party of tho nation for
the next four years, and so, will
be totter ablo to get things for
Alaska than would a socialist or
a lopndlican (ho bo a standpat
tr or an independent republi
can.) What Alaska wants, it
wants now. Wo cannot wait for
tho socialist inillenium.

WOULD WITHDRAW
MILITARY FORCES
The War department, in its an
nual report, says in part:
"The present garrison of
Alaska comprises cine regiment of
infantry ami two companies of
signal corps. As troops ean bo
withdrawn from Alaska only dur
ing part of Ihe year, this garri
son can't he included among
troops available for general mil
itary purposes. The assignment
of one infantry regiment as a gar
rison for Alaska is not with any
idea of defense of the territory
in event of war, but simply to
furnish police force to quell lo
cal disorders. With settled con
ditions that now obtain in I be
government of Alaska it is be
lieved the lime has come t<• re
lieve1 I be army from this police
duly and lhat a force of constab
ulary should be organized or
charged with Hie policing of the
territory. The two companies «»f
signal corps should also be with
drawn and Ihe lines turned over
lo Hie proper civil aulliorities."
