A Strong Plea for
Faithful Alaskans
Communication.
Ophir, Alaska. March 22.
Today there is a great battle waging
by the powerful packing interests to
monopolize Alaska’s great iishing re
sources.
We are daily being reminded of the
greed, graft and corruption which per
meates t he higher circles of our present
administration.
It is a deplorable fact that many of
our political leaders, in whom the na
tion reposed their trust, are guilty of
the blackest crime—the betrayai of the
people. •
Today, more than ever, we need men
who are tried and true to watch over
the national resources against the ra
pacity of predatory interests.
A great, greedy and powerful oc
topus is reaching out to monopolize
Alaska’s greatest resources.

Northland the traveler will . today

corporations are not residents of
Alaska. They care nothing for the de
velopment of our Northland. All they
seek is the opportunity to grind out
large dividends, regardless of at whose
expense.
We have been fortunate in one thing,
that we have an honest, upright Alas
kan who has so uobly fought for the
rights of Alaskans against all imwerful
combines of the predatory interests.
Thanks to Hon. Dan Sntherland, who
has exposed many discrepancies preva
lent today ih the iiureau of Commerce.
Therefore, fellow Alaskans, let us
cast aside all our political and party
differences and stand by the man who
has proven himself a staunch and true
Alaskan, worthy of our tiust.
A vote for Dan Sutherland aud our
present attorney general, John Kust
gard, means the true development of
Alaska for Alaskaos, and not for the
band of sleek, smoothy and slimy gen
tlemen of the packers’ combine.
