Now, | will tell him this, there is not

reason why any one should go to a

he did not, | will | have been inside
many saloons, they have swinging

to the drunken rabble. What bless

filled with reading or a chance for
games. Just room and bar, few
boxes of dice and their stock. Floor
covered with dirty sawdust filled with
guilds of tobacco and spit, and the
whole room filled with tobacco smoke
The odor resembles that in cabin of
a passenger steamship in a heavy
storm. How exhilarating such a place
must be to the poor workingman. In

PITTMAN IS ENDORSED
BY ALASKANS

Denied by law any representation
in the United States senate and
having only nominal representation
in the lower house of congress a
number of leading Alaskans yester-
day decided to make an effort to
elect a United States senator from
the State of Nevada where large
number of northerners have invest
ed a portion of their Alaskan gold.
With this end in view a meeting
of prominent Alaskans was held at
the Arctic club yesterday after
noon and plans laid to bring about
the election of Key Pittman, now
a resident of Nevada and the first
Arctic Chief of the Nome camp of
the Arctic Brotherhood. to fill the
seat left vacant by the death of
Senator George Nixon. Pittman
has been nominated on the demo-
cratic ticket, but that fact makes
no difference to the Alaskans-he
is receiving the unanimous support
of republican. democratic. in
surRent and progressive alike.
In fact they rather prefer that he
should run on the democratic
ticket rs the State of Nevada is
democratic in its tendencies.
Several Alaskans have large
sums invested in Nevada mines,
many from the north having been
prominent in the establishing of
the mining camps of Goldfield,
R4whide. National, BulIfrog,
Tonopah and others, and they feel
that they are entitled to q voice in
the policies Of that state.
Capt. E. ". Johnston has a large
sum invested in agricultural lands
in Nevada; A. d. Nash, one of the
heaviest stockholders in GddReld
Consolidated stock, former
Alaska mail carrier; Jake Perger
and Joe Sullivan have big mining
interests at National: Dan Dryer
who recently made discovery Of
fahuluosly rich ore near Winnie
mucca, is also an old-time Alaskan.
Fifteen of those who attended
the meeting in the Arctic Club
yesterday were Alaskan each
worth more than half a million
dollars and seven or eight of them
have bank rolls that run tn seven
figures.
Three Of the Alaskans interested
probably will 60 to Nevada to
render what aid they can in bring
ing about PIttnian's election.
Key Pittman is a sou thern
lawyer who Joined the stampede to
Dawson, in 1898 ard there was
associated in mining ventures with
Humboldt Gates, for whose for
Humboldt county, California was
named. Gates and Pittman, in the
winter of 1S99.l900, stamprded

from Dawson to Nome. q journey
Of 1900 miles over the ice. In
the spring of 1900 Pittman. w. H.
Metson and other attorneys played
prominent part in BUSTING and
bringing to justice the members of
the corrupt judicial ring that
endeavored to steal through the
courts the products of the Nome
mines the conspiracy upon which
Rex Beach's story. ''The Spoilers
was founded.
In the fall of 1900 Pittman left
Nome and 1902 found him in the
goldfelds of Nevda, where he has
lived ever since. He was 3
candidate for the United States
senate two years ago, but was
defeated for the nomination.
This time he has been successful
and the Alaskans will leave no
stone unturned to aid him with
the toga.
The meeting at the Arctic club
yesterday afternoon adopted
formally the following resolutions:
whereas. it has come to our
knowledge that Hon. Key Pittman,
a former resident of Nome, Alaska.
and a Past Arctic Chief of Camp
Nome No. 9. of the Artic Brother
hood is a candidate for the United
States senate from the State of
Nevada, and Whereas, from our
intimate acquaintance with Mr..
Pittman during his residence in
Alaska we know him to he man
whose private character and r.
putaton for fairness in all his
dealings entitled and secured for
him the repect and esteem of his
fellow citizens. an able attorney, a
keen observer and close student Of
public affairs and forceful public
speaker, and
Whereas, we felt that the cleo
ton of Mr.. Pittman to tine United
States senate would bring to that
body man who is we'll acquainted
with TIE needs of Alaska. anu
whose knowledge and ability would
help to secure for Alaska much
needed legislation. and
Whereas, we have followed
with interest the career of Mr..
Pittman since he took up his
residence in Nevada and firmly he
lieve that his great talents would
be of especial value as repre-
sentative from that state in the
United State senate.
Wherefore, be it resolved that
we former residents of Nome,
Alaska, in mass meeting assembled
in Seattle. Wash, irrespective of
political affiliations, heartily in
dorse the candidacy of Hon. Kew
Pittman and cog stulate the
people Of Nevada upon the oppor.
tunity of securing such an able
and conscientious representative in
the Unitch States senate. u. J.
