CANDIDATE OF THE HOME RULE PARTY
If Elected I Will Give My Best Efforts
to'fAccomplish the Greatest Good to
the Greatest Number of Alaskans.
Extract from address by George E. Baldwin of Val"
dez, to the American Mining Congress, Chicago,
October 27, 1911:
EVERY RIGHT MINDED CIVILIZED MAN ABHORS WASTE
PARTICULARLY OF SOMETHING THAT CAN NEVER BE RE
PLACED; BUT THE DOCTRINE THAT THIS IS THE LAST
GENERATION OF INVENTORS AND SCIENTISTS THAT WILL
LIVE AND THAT THE MANY FORCES OF NATURE NOW GO
ING TO WASTE, COMPARED TO WHICH ALL THE COAL
i
IN THE WORLD IS AS A TALLOW DIP TO A THOUSAND
ARC LIGHTS, THAT THESE SOURCES OF POWER WILL
NEVER BE HARNESSED BY MAN, AND THAT THE PRES
ENT GENERATION MU8T BE STARVED AS WE ALASKANS
ARE BEING STARVED, WELL—WORDS FAIL ME WHEN I
ATTEMPT TO EXPRESS MY OPINION OF SUOH CRIMINAL
FOOLISHNESS.
THE8E LAMENTING JEREMIAHS WHO NIOURN OVER.
THE EXHAUSTION OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES PAY
ALL THEIR ATTENTION TO THAT 8ECTION OF THE COUN
TRY WHERE THE POPULATION IS SPARSE, WHILE THE
RESOURCES IN THE SECTION OF THE COUNTRY WHERE
THE POPULATION 18 DEN8E ARE BEING U8ED A8 CIRCUM
STANCES DEMAND WITHOUT. ANY OF THEIR VALUABLE
ADVICE ANP ASSISTANCE.
OWE OF THE PROBLEM8 OF OUR NATION IS TO RE
STRICT THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY FROM CONGRE
GATING IN THE CENTERS OF POPULATION; YET THE8E
RADICAL CONSERVATIONISTS DEMAND THE CONTINU
ANCE OF AND EXTENSION OF, A SYSTEM WHICH 18 DE
POPULATING THI8 TERRITORY, IN WHIOH AT PRESENT
THERE 18 ONLY ONE HUMAN.BEINQ, MAN, WOMAN, CHILD
8IWASH SQUAW AND PAPPOOSE FOR EVERY SEVEN
THOUSAND, SEVEN HUNDRED ACRES.
ALASKA IS BEING LITERALLY STARVED TO DEATH.
WE HAVE FOREST RESERVES, MILITARY RESERVE8,, ONE
OF THEM ONE HUNDRED MILES IN DIAMETER, COAL RE
SERVES, FISH RESERVES, NAVAL RESERVES, SEAL RE
SERVES, BIRD RESERVES, AND I SUPPOSE BY THIS TIME,
BUG RESERVES, AND CRANKS CRYING FOR STILL MORE
9ESERVE8.
