Tuesday afternoon, discharging the jury
in the Lambert Frank case, which had

conviction almost an imposslbility.

Nome industrial worker., 1908-08-10
WORKERsl UNITE AT THE POLLS

The most important work of the campaign is yet to be done, THE WORKERS HAVE THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTES. Let us see to it that these votes are cast AS A UNIT for Joseph Chilberg, the candidate placed in nomination by the workers. Let every man stand shoulder to shoulder with his fellow worker, not only to insure the betterment of his own condition, but to in sure the betierment of conditions for all the workers of Alaska. United we stand, divided we fall! Let every working man do his duty at the polls tomorrow, and Joseph Chilberg, the candidate of the workers and common peo. pie, will be returned with 8 ma. jority that will ring the death. knell of rule by corporations.
Nome industrial worker., 1908-08-10

Alaska, been regarded as hire ling of the corporations this smooth politician, made the statement, with the most bare. faced audacity, that 8 warm friendship existed between him. self and the miners.
 A man whose record shows that, while he held office as federal judge, he took every ad- vantage of that position to fur ther his own personal ends. He had no use for the miner before he started on his campaign. What use would he have for the miner, or what could we expect him to do to further the inter- ests of the miner if he should happen to be elected as delegate from Alaska? Could any req sonable man expect him 10 use the benign "infuence" he boasts of having at Washington for the purpose of bettering the condi- ton of the workingmen of Alas ka! It is ridiculous to suppose such a thing.
 The workingmen of Alaska have selected their own candi- date, one from among them selves. A man who has always been true to the principles of unionism. A man in whom they have every confidence. When he goes to Washington next spring, the workers who elected him can feel assured that he will be putting forth his best efforts to further their interests-their interests first, last and all the time.
Nome industrial worker., 1908-08-10

the vote of the workers in an underhand way-by hiring a Judas in the ranks to create dis sension among the workers, and by the direct purchase of votes wherever they think this can be accomplished.
 And even these efforts will be in vain. This time the workers know what they want and noth- ing will turn them aside. The politicians have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Their owu candidate they are sure of, and they are determined to elect him.
Nome industrial worker., 1908-08-10
cHILBERc's RECORD IS CLEAR

Workingmen, Joseph Chilberg is your candidate and he is one to be proud of. Compare his re. cord with that of the other can. didates in the running. All of the other candidates have records that damn them. They have torn one another to pieces and have exposed to the public view their political rottenness. Each one has conclusively proven the other to be a liar and a rogue. Each of them has said enough to satisfy the public that they are completely under the control of the corporations.
 How does Joseph Chilberg compare with these office-seek. ing politicians ? Not a word has been said against his character. His morality has not been called into question. His usefulness as a public spirited and capable citizen has everywhere been ack. nowledged.
 The cleanness of his record stands out in bold contrast to the foul, besmudged records of the other candidates. He is 8 workingman with advanced ideas whereas the others are politi- clans with reactionary ideas. Alaska must line up with pro- gress, not with reaction. Chil. berg <as a workingman, will do all that he can for the workers. The other candidates, as politi- clans, will do all that they can to do the workers. If we elect Chilberg to congress, the cor. porations and employers of Ia. bor will have a healthy respect for us. If we elect one of the other candidates, the corpora tions and employers of labor will ride over us rough-shod. If we elect Chilberg to congress we can have a say in the manage ment of affairs. If we elect one of the other candidates, we will have to take what we get and say that we like it.
 Workingmen! It is for you to choose! See that you choose wisely.
Nome industrial worker., 1908-08-10

Workingmen, you stand no show to win by electing either Wickersham or Corson. They are both creatures of the corporations, and they are attack ing each other so bitterly because each of them wants the spells of office. The hireling who wins the prize expects to get fat pickings by catering to the cor porations. Each of them stands ready to deliver your country into the greedy grasp of the trust.
 There Is only one candidate in the field who is worthy of your confidence. He is unalterably opposed to what Wickersham and Corson represent = corporation rule. The Wickershanl forces in Fairbanks have attempted to break up his meetings. Why? Be- cause the corporation minions realize that he is the strongest candidate in the running. and accordingly they are putting forth every effort to impede his progress. Their efforts are in vain for the workingmen of Alaska have de- cided to elect their candidate.
Nome industrial worker., 1908-08-10

The. corporations who are backing both Wickersham and Corson will put ] large amount of money in circulation on election day for the purpose of buying votes. At least MT. Wicker sham seemed to think they would on the occasion of his last speech in Nome. The workingmen of Alaska have n1t yet formed the habit of selling their votes to the highest bidder or to any bidder. They realize that they can gain more by putting up their money to insure the election of their owncandi- date. The mines of Nome and Fair banks have dug down into their own pockets to pay the expenses of MT. Chilberg's campaign, and in electing their own candidate they know that they can get a fair deal for themselves. whereas, if a corporation hireling Is elected. they will have to pay not only the campaign expenses. but whatever the corporations want to tax them in addition.
