ALASKA ENDORSES TAFT

The Nome Daily Nugget, the leading and most influential
newspaper published on the Seward Peninsula commenting
the meeting the Republican Territorial Committee
hid in Cordova says that it's action worthy OF congratua
ton 1t says, among othe rthings:
Perhaps the best and notable deed performed by the
Republican territorial committee during their meeting at Cor
ova last week their endorsement of President afs adj
mnsraton recommendation he be renoinated for
ond term.
'Aaskans will feel proud such step taken, that is
many who lined up with the Democrats for they
another party but at the time they cannot help feeling
proud that the Republicans have endorsed present
tive pride of country and respect for the office will
rant such statement
Taft should be the end Of all the spirit of unrest that
had tendency outcrop during the last delegate election
This endorsement places stamp of dsproval upon the
gency here in the Nohan and all those who had tendency
lean that way requested to rahen up mark well the
warning and govern themselves accordingly.
A that required of the followers of the G. O. is that
they fall into ne and the principles by the members
the territorial committee during their recent meeting
for straight out and politics. and this being the advance in
formation will predominant throughout the coming election
both in the territorial and national contest.
ssWe have every to believe there much
accomplished at the territorial committee meeting than
given out for publication We know there several
battles being waged between certain foces for supremacy and
from indications sent out in what termed clashes"
safe in saying good Republican will have Tor
plant in the future the acts of the party pertaining
Alaska.

Der rightly they figured that Alaska should give something
like $4,000 to every person in the United States.
No doubt the heirs of this heritage would like to realize
something their valuable assets 1t is safe to in fact
that single of them in need would give Mr. Pncho
all his interest and title in his $4,000 Alaska fortune for th
price of square meal The Alaska bait longer attractive

but for the Pnchot policies Alaska today instead Of being
bankrupt and with the scan and decreasing population OF
100000 white people, would be hummng with all kinds of indus

industrial and commercial enterprises which would have

would have extended along the entire Pacific coast
But the bogy about to gobbe Alaska whole

FISHER HOUSING THE EAST

The annual report Of Secretary Of the Interior Fisher
which reused little interest in Seattle where its
mendaons concerning Alaska perused with lively in
terest, has also stirred Eastern cities.
Secretary Fisher has demonstrated the why he
selected by President Taft for the very position he
now holds has dealt blows to the reaconary
gresves than any other in public eand he has been
eernay right that these forces have not been able
to discredit him in the public eye
He must be credited with small portion of the credit
the changing sentiment in the Easta change that pro-
auced such an editorial the following in The Brooklyn
Standard Union:
ALASKA cut large figure the conservation excitement
couple of years ago. 1t held up land OF marvel
Gus riches, which somebody was trying to steal.
Ony last year, when permission given to somebody
build sort of harbor there scandal was made
# it and letter forged and alleged to have been found
in the Interior Department files reecting the admnlsta
ton. ,
CHOW comes the report of Secretary Fisher showing that
Alaska has to import COAL of from foreign countries
though it is said to have extensive coal fields.
ct also has import lumber though there undoubtedly
are great forests owned by the government.
cit is suffering for lack of roads and railroads. though
ANYBODY who proposed build railroad in Alaska was held
to public execration the United States Yet poor Alaska
has been entirely forgotten that the conservation wave
has subsidized
he moral seems be that it is easy to get up an ex
element for the purpose Of stopping anything that is in pro
but when to devsng and putting into effect
a better plan, that is nobody business"
That anybody should suggest aught for the benefit OF
Alaska was rank treason only short time Then the Wis
onares spoung of the rights of the people OF the United
The rights Of Alaska and Aaskans were forgotten
these loud mouthed SHUTTERS.
However the change of public sentiment IN the East may
presage coming time when reform of present conditions
Alaska and plans progress will be the business of
cry politician hopes win public Seattle Times
The Chitina leader., 1912-02-10

the effect that the suggested action would be harm
full and that really something else that Alaska needed
After the Commercial Club started the first concerted
action in the territory nauguated and the backing OF
commercial organizations every civic body and nearly
newspaper the country secured for the fight for the
appropriation for roads, and the and congress
told that that the territory greatest need And
gess paid heed many of it's members going far to
they relieved to know at last what Alaska wanted
that they could act inteigeny The department is
record with Endorsement for the scheme and the road commits
sion solely because of the action of the Fairbanks Commercial
Club asking for appropriation that will make the road
possible.
And because of the election promises (of
which shall certainly have between and Nove
ber happens to take the form of built railroad
have change plan of action and tell congress had
made mistake That after ALL it wasn't good road system
wanted but railroad And congress would be perfectly
justified in telling that in few months would be tell
ing them it not railroad couldn't get along without
but line of subsidized steamships arshps
If the government is intending to build railroad to Fair
banks and it has the power the road will be built there
is word heard from Fairbanks the subject Our
sng campaign for the road appropriation, therefore
will not delay the driving Of the first spike. It WILL however
six day service to the states within
So and that will help wait patiently for the coming in
the dim and distant vista of the fau of built
railroad.
