 You know Claude Kelly. You know Fred Martin. You know Judge Er, @in If you don't you will before this election is over. Their boss i C. F.. Davidson has already stamped himself. You know him as well as the rest Voters of Alaska. while he cause of Socialism is threaten, ing this country. while We are fac ing one of the greatest dangers of the age in this election. while We must certainly strain every effort to put conservative men in our first congress. ii is our bounden duty t> look before we leap. and if the situa- tion that We face is the crisis, we must face ii bravely. we must face it boldly. but we must face it hon. ostly and with a clear conscience
 This no honest man can do if he supports such a man as Henry Roden
