William A. Gilmore, candidate for

Inere," and is as follows:
Campaign Song
The campaign now is open, how the
Republican guns do roar,
There's no split in the party as in the
days of yore,
We want to send our delegate to
Washington this year,
And the halls of Congress his voice
.Aey'll surely hear.
We want to beat the Democrats and
all the rest galore,
And snow them SO far under that
they'll never show up more.
CHORUS
Won't we send him there,
Won't we send him there,
Won't you send him on to Washing
ton?
Then there'll be surely something
done,
Won't we send him there,
He'll make good, that we'll swear,
In Congress he'll be heard,
Take that on your word, E
You bet we'll send him there.
Well yell the party slogan, we'll yell
from mountain height,
Alaska for Alaskans, we only want
what's right,
From Point Barrow to the Aleutians,
from Cape Fox to Prince of
Wales, IL
Well sing it down the Yukon and
along the frozen trails,
Through our half million miles of
space with lustry throats and
strong
For territorial government Well sing
both loud and long.
CHORUS
We're fifty thousand pioneers, who've
too long been forgot,
We're tired of being overlooked and
left behind to rot,
We want the road tax law repealed,
more lights for our long coast;
We want the right to mine our coal,
but what we want the most
Is an Uncle Sam built railroad from
the sea to the Yukon,
No watered stock, no mortgage bond,
nor corporate bull con.
"a
There's plenty of other things we
want, and Gilmore'll get them
too.
No carpet baggers need apply when
we've elected you,
So get in boys and whoop her up,
we've got them on the run,
Well land our man in Congress and
then you'll see some fun.
He knows just what Alaska needs,
he's loyal to the core,
So get in boys and whoop her up for
William A. Gilmore. u
