P. H. GANTY, GROCER
BUNNELL MEETING AT HAINES
(By the Skagw-ay Daily Alaskan
correspondent)
Haines, Alaska, Oct. 15, 1914
Hon. Charles E. Bunnell address
ed a large" audience in the Arctic
Brotherhood hall last night. The
audience paid him the best of at
tention, in fact, it paid him such
good attention that it forgot to ap
plaud him but three times—at the
beginning, about the middle and at
the end of his discourse—and tha
applause came principally from the
platform. This, however, may have
been from the fact that the audience
hardly knew who was the principal
speaker of the evening—whether it
was Steve Ragan, Mr. Bunnell, or
SI. Tanner.
Mr. Bunnell said, during his
speech, that Delegate Wickersham
is misrepresenting him in this
campaign. Well, maybe he is; I
don't know. Wickersham said here
that he had kuown Charley Bunnell
for many years; that that gentle
man has his own home at Valdez,
hia own wife and children, and that
he is a good, clean man, and if that
is misrepresenting him, X can only
say that I'm sorry for him. *
Mr. Bunnell als® said that if lie
was elected as delegate to congress,
he would try and get the matter of
patents to mining claims thrown in
to the hands of the courts, so that
all a claimant would have to do
would be to pay his money to the
clerk of the court and get his
patent. Of course he would liaye
to perform the five hundred dollars
worth of assessment work first.
Now I don't thing it possible for
him or any other man to accomplish
anything of the kind for everyone,
and especially a lawyer, ought to
know that title to the public do
main is vested in the president of
the United States and can only be
conveyed by him to the people.
It is said that Mr. Bunnell is an
eloquent and convincing speaker,
and I am willing to admit that tbis
is true, for I think he is succeed
ing beyond a doubt iu convincing
the people that he is not the pro
per person to send to congress as
delegate from Alaska.
Now, just a word or two in re
gard to the remarks made by my
friend Tanner. He tried to say
good things about the democratic
legislative ticket, and also about
some of the democratic candidates,!
principally Sulzer. He even referr- j
ed to the time when Sulze-r made his
memorable speech in Juneau, on a
territorial form of government for
Alaska, at a republican convention
in an early day when Sol Ripinsky
was a delegate to the convention
from Haines. The rest of the
nominees he did not have so much
to say about. However, Si did
not tell us that the meeting which
Sulzer addressed at the above men
tioned time, was a republican con
vention.
Hr. Tanner spoke of th$ attack
made on the seven senators by Dele
gate Wickersham, in regard to the
famous letter written by them to
tho secretary of th& interior, tell
ing him that "in their opinion the
people of Alaska ar® opposed to
government ownership of railroads."
If Senator Tanner will .turn to pag®
133 of the Congressional Record,
and read the remarks of Delegate
Wickersham on the "Alaska rail
road bill," he will there Bee that
Delegate Wickersham only spoke of
that letter because Congressman
Ferris from Oklahoma, quoted it
in opposition to the bill, which
Delegate Wickersham was trying to
get through the house. I hava
not seen any statement of senator
Tanner, or any other of the terri
torial senators, telling the people
how, or where, they got their in
formation that the people of Al
aska are opposed to the government
ownership of railroads neither
have I seen any explana
tion of why they sent such a letter
to the secretary of the interior.
Of course this matter has been in
the papers several times, already,
and I would not have mentioned it
hero if Mr. Tanner himself had not
spoken of it in his speech last night
VOTER
A PROMINENT SAN FRANCISCAN
WAS ROUND-TRIP PASSENGER
C. Rickards, a prominent insur
ance broker and government Chinae
interpreter of San Francisco, was a
round trip passenger on the steam
ship Spokane. In speaking of this
trip; Mr. Rickards said that while
be had tried to keep posted on tke
Pacific* Coast affairs, as well as
those of Alaska, he was greatly sur
prised to find conditions in the
north so promising for the Im
mediate future. The cities of
Southeastern Alaska are very pros
perous, and the mining activities
of Juneau and vicinity showed that
Alaska had business men who were
doing things that tended to bring the
fcyes of the financial world to thia
portion of the North American con
tinent. As to the trip Itself, from
a scenic, as well as from a re
creative point of view, it was ideal,
and he predicted that the coming
season would be one in whlcji the
tourist travel would be increased
many fold over that of former years,
by reason of the Panama Fair which
would bring many people to the
Pacific Coast, who would lengthen
their itinerary and take advantage of
the opportunity of seeing the won
dep of the far famed "Inland Pal
sage" to the great Northland.
