Judge Roberts,;

(Advertisement.l

tain articles being circulated over
the country insinuating that
Judge Roberts is not so well
qualified to fill the position of
Judge of Court of Appeal as his
opponent, and that Judge Rob-
erts has but little record.
In view of the fact that for
over ten years Judge Roberts
has been one of the foremost leg
islators of this State, and in view
of the further fact that Judge
Roberts, while practicing at
torney, was recognized as a man
of splendid legal ability, it is GER
tainly unusual that his opponent
would even attempt to insinuate
that Judge Roberts is not well
qualified to ill the position which
he now holds.
Judge Roberts legal knowl-
edge and ability has been tested
against that of Judge Dawkins
on two occasions. In both in
stances the opinions of Judge
Roberts were sustained by the
Supreme Court, and in the same
cases the opinions held by Judge
Dawkins were either reversed or
amended. In one case Judge
Dawkins, at that time judge of
the lower court, held that the Du-
bach Lumber Company should
not be forced to pay anything
for cutting off the leg of man
named Davenport. Judge Rob-
erts appealed the case and re-
versed the decision of his oppo-
nent, forcing the lumber compa-
ny to pay for the injury. In the
other case Judge Dawkins grant
ed damages against the same
lumber company for So, 10000.
which Judge Roberts while asso-
ciated with other counsel, had
the amount increased to the sum
of SIS, 600. 90 on appeal. (See 112
Louisiana Report. In these two
tests, who has shown the most
legal ability? Roberts was with
the people and won. Where was
Dawkins?
Furthermore, in very large
number of cases the Supreme
Court has reversed Judge Dawk-
ms. Judge Roberts has never
been reversed in any manner or
respect. AS Judge of the Court
of Appeal, which position he now
holds and should be permitted to
continue, he has been highly
commended for his work. In
speaking of one of his recent de-
cisions ex-Gov. N. C. Blanchard
said: 1.-THE opinion is one of the
ablest that has come under my
observation in years. No man
could be more favorably recon-
mended. Certainly the unbiased
opinion of ex-Gov. Blanchard, a
former Justice of the Supreme
Court, is higher than that of an
opponent,
| think that Judge Roberts
should be permitted so serve out
the remainder of his unexpired
term. He has conscientiously
served the people for a number
Of years, always fair and impair
tial and of exceptional ability.
To remove him after such service
and not permit him to serve out
the remainder of the term would
not be fair to Judge Roberts or
to the people.

The fight for a Territorial form of government was made In Alaska by those who are now fighting for ~fur' Territorial form of government-that is by those Of them who are stlll alive They started the battle in lS99 and have quit. Opposed to them for years were Delegate Wickersham and most of the present day wickershamites. In making the eieht they had to combat many substitutes for self government offered by Delegate wickersham and oh- CTS They opposed the commission bil prepared by wickersham and introduced by Delegate Gale. They refused to be shooed away from their purpose to SC. cure seltgovernment for Alaska by the Statehood proposals of Gov Brady and Gov Hoggatt They de- cned to accept the milk and water bills introduced by Delegate wckersham in 1909 and 1911.

 In short the men who fighting for full Territorial form of government in Alaska those who have never wavered in their devotion to the American principle of selfgoverument
 These statements are a part of the plainly written history of Alaska. They are told in newspaper files convention reports and Congressional proceedings They are known to an Alaska pioneers
 And the record justifies the prediction that they are Che men upon whom will fall the burden of the battle for Statehood because they believe in the Amer can form Of government matter of principle But they want sefgovernment in Territorial matters now They believe that they have right to selfgoyern ment and they believe that it is necessary that de- yeIopmeu in the Territory might proceed to the point where we may make 1t plain that Alaska is prepared to enter the Sisterhood of States.
