Man for Territorial
Senator—-Why Not.
3. -
Just before going Outside for uied
leal treatment last winter I announce!
invself as an independent candidate foi
the Territorial Senate, seeing ther
that the First Division was out t(
: ‘hog” all the power and money of th
Territorv and feeling that it wouli
take experience and ability to bea
their game. In my absence ft iend:
‘lilsd" me as a candidata, and, return
ing twenty vears younger and seein<
the need of experience and ability a'
Juneau [from this district, there ii
nothing for me to do but ‘ go through.’
.Naturally, I don’t desire to spend twt
months at Juneau, to the neglect of m;
Vacltccs and family, i couldn’t ever
spend two months in Nenana, which if
only 50 miles from Fairbanks, for the
$1,000 [ would get from the Juneai
trip. There’s nothing in Smulltowr
politics that appeals to me, and the
•'honor” thus offered doesn’t ‘‘reach’
me. You need five hard-boiled repre.
sentatives at Juneau next session, and
if you don’t see that it ‘‘comes tbai

'vay!' you will be hollering your beads
off short]v thereafter.
1 am running against (or they are
running against me) three men of
whose personality and ability I shall
say nothing. Murray C. Smith, the
republican nominee, is a line type of a
man, but his electioneering pamphlets
give as his idea of the way to prevent
the rape of the Territory by Juneau to
1 ''conciliate” them. I do not know the
' mean ne (,f ihac word, when confront
B, f-d t v holdup artists. They have shown
1 their hand, and are out to cut our rep
resemation in two. which would mean
’ the cutting of our natural appropria
tion in two. The only conciliation they
are entitled to should be administered
’ with a double-bitted axe.
| The democratic candidate, Harry E.
! Pratt, is an able lawyer and a fine
'I young gentleman—a scholarly young
man. He would obey your wishes if
you elect him, which is according to
the rules of the game. I cannot prom
ise te do that—I would "obey that im
pulse,’' and "do it now,” on the minute
the contingency arose. Unless you be
; lieve that 1, at 60. with a practical po
litical experience in two countries and
I most all states, know what to do in anv
i event I am apt to run up against at Ju
, neau, you should not vote for me.
I The third candidate, also independ
! ent. I have never met to know him.
Tney tell me he is a good speaker and
a live worker. I do not come in either
class 1 am a good listener and a good
uudor-cover worker, which latter qual
ification has enabled me to be the sole
support of on average of fourteen peo
ple for the past thirty years and the
I indirect support of about 11.000 people,

looking out and enjoying the passing
show. But, with reapportionment com
ing and this division due to lose what
is its own, and to Juneau, it is up to
you to have a little sei.se and send the
safest and sanest and most experienced
men you can get to the next session.
: And if the "experienced” men have
not in the past gotten results at Juneau
as they should, then your experience
with them should be enough to keep
you from again committing the crime
against vour own interests of "sending
boys to mill.” We sent our boys out
last session to get needed money for
the College; they waited until the last
minute of the session and came back
with half they went after. They are
not 100 per cent good workers.

that I “spoke” last winter. Still, I am
in the race (just this much).
