BUNNELL MEETING AT HAYNES
(By the Skagway Daily Alaskan
 correspondent)
Haines, Alaska, Oct. 15, 1914.

Haines, Alaska, Oct. 15, 1914.
 Hon. Charles E. Bunnell address, ed large audience in the Arctic Brotherhood hall last night. The audience paid him the best of at tention, in fact, it paid him such good attention that it forgot to ap- plaud him but three tines-at the beginning. about the middle and at the end of his discourse-and the applause came principally from the platform. This, however, may have been from the fact that the audience hardly knew who was the principal speaker Of the eVening-whether it was Steve Ragan, Mir. Bunnell, or Si. Tanner
 MT. Bunnell said during his speech, that Delegate Wickersham is misrepresenting him in this campaign. We'll, maybe he is; I don't know. Wickersham said here that he had known Charley Bunnell for many years; that that gentle man has his own home at valdez, his own wife and children, and that he is a good, clean man, and if that Is misrepresenting him, I can only say that I'm sorry for him.
 MT. Bunnell also said that if he was elected as delegate to congress, he would try and get the matter of patents to mining claims thrown in to the hands of the courts, so that all a claimant would have to do would be to pay his money to the clerk of the court and get his patent. Of course he would have to perform the five hundred dollars worth of assessment work first. Now l don't thing it possible for him or any other man to accomplish anything of the kind for everyone, and especially a lawyer, ought to know that title to the public do- main is vested in the president of the United states and can only be conveyed by him to the people.
 It is said that MT. Bunnell is an eloquent and convincing speaker, and I am willing to admit that this is true, for I think he is succeed ing beyond a doubt in convincing the people that he is not the pro Der person to send to congress as delegate from Alaska.
 Now, just word or two in re- gard to the remarks made by my friend Tanner. He tried to say good things about the democratic legislative ticket, and also about some of the democratic candidates, principally Sulzer. He even referr- cd to the time when Sulzer made his memorable speech in Juneau, on a territorial form of government for Alaska, at a republican convention in an early day when Sol Ripinsky was delegate to the convention from Haines. The rest of the nominees he did not have so much to say about. However, Si did Dot tell Us that the meeting which Sulzer addressed at the above men

4 PROMINENT SAN FRANCISCAN
 WAS ROUND-TRIP PASSENGER

c. Richards, a prominent insur- ance broker and government Chinese interpreter of San Francisco, was a round trip passenger on the steam ship Spokane. In speaking of thiH trip, MT. Richards said that while he had tried to keep posted on the Pacific Coast affairs, as well as those of Alaska, he was greatly sur prised to find ccnditions in the north so promising for the im- mediate future. The cities of Southeastern Alaska are very pros porous, and the mining activities Of Juneau and vicinity showed that Alaska had business men who were doing things that tended to bring tho eyes of the financial world to this portion of the North American con tinent. As to the trip itself, from a scenic, as we'll as from re- creative point of view, 1t WAS ideai' and he predicted that the coming season would be one in which the tourist travel would be increased many fold over that of former years, by reason of the Panama Fair which would bring many people to the Pacific Coast, who would lengthen their itinerary and take advantage of the opportunity of seeing the won ders of the far famed finland Pas sage" to the great Northland.
