CANDIDATE OF ABILITY
 |S RECOMMENDED

E. H. Gilman who has been man. ager of the Chitina Cash Store for the past year will have the support of everyone with whom he has become acquainted. The independence he showed in helping to clean Chitina up officially this spring has made him a host of admirers. His long resi- dence in various parts of Alaska and his practical experience as a miner give him comprehensive insight into the needs of the country. He is as completely free from the influence of corporations and politicians as any man who could have been nominated.
 The people of Chitina and the sur rounding country believe that the legislators should be drawn from all sections and in presenting MT. Gill man they do so with full reliza- tion of his splendid qualifications and also with the idea that the great Copper river mining country is en- titled to representation in the new Legislature. Sif
