HAVE YOU REGISTERED?

Next Tuesday is election, when seven members of the Common Coun- siI are to be elected to govern the mu- nicipal affairs of the City of Valdez for the coming twelve months:
 This is going to be big year for Valdez if things break right. Capital is seeking investment and thousands of homeseekers are turning their eyes and thoughts toward the Northland.
 Valdez must have her share of these newcomers. and to secure her share they must know they will be protected from persecution and re- ceive the same treatment here they would in other cities.
 This can never be assured them so long as the city is in the hands of the Hubbard-Frame-Boyle gang,

The laws say;s;; that any person shall have access to the city's books at all reasonable times. If you are refused such access the law is being violated. You do not need permission from any one to look over the city's records. provided you are gentlemanly and reasonable in your demands. The law was made to prevent officials re- fusing access to political opponents to any documents of the city. and it will be promptly upheld by any judge in the land. Parties refused permission from city officials to ex- anime the city's books should prompt ly file charges against the official with
 the District Judge. as such act is un- lawful
Valdez daily prospector., 1916-03-30
DEMAND YOUR RIGHTS.

Several times in the past yeAr citi- zens have been denied the right to access to the city's books without permission from the mayor. acting mayor, the city clerk, or some official Poo Bah, who has exercised his own judgment as to whether or not such citizens shall have right to inves- tigate the municipal documents. Several times in the past year rep lresentatives of the Prospector have been refused permission by the off, cials to investigate city records. Such actions are illegal and con- trary to the statutes made and pro- vided. Any citizen in Valdez has a
 right at all times during office hours to investigate the books and records
 of the city without permission from anyone. That is what such books are for.
 It is high time that these gum-shOe, lslip-it-over methods. were stopped, and the officials shown that they are servants of the people instead of die tators.
 In case further refusal is granted our citizens should take the matter into the courts and put a stop to such
 outrageous, illegaA proceedings.

Glance over the Citizens Ticket at the head of our columns. Investigate the personal qualifications of every man whose name is listed There is not an agitator nor a reformer in the bunch. Every man has record for minding his own business and giving his neighbor a square deal. They are all a success in their respective busi- nesses. They are none of them poli- ticians. They are allied with no fac tion, and will go into the council, if elected, with no promises to aid any one put anything over on their neigh bor; nor have they publicly made threats of getting anyone. They are safe, sane, ard for Bigger and Bet ter Valdez. Lay aside any prejudice you may have and vote for the up building of your town.

NO APPEAL TO PREJUDICE.

We are not appealing to your prej- udice in the coming city election: but to your judgment. The men on both sides are neither pirates. robbers nor grafters. It is only a question of is- sues. The man who appeals to your prejudices is generally too prejudiced to make competent decision him. self. We ask you calmly and dis passionately if you believe that the actions of the late council have help ed build up the town? If you be- lieve they have. vote for them: if you believe they have not; vote for our ticket. That is the only issue he. fore the people They are all good fellows. but do you consider them all capable, conscientious business men. competent to run the city's fin ances the coming year?

sion, the Tillicum Club, the courts
 (with the exception of the district attorney), the Independent Laundry, the Empress Theatre, and a score of other large and small enterprises,
 which go to make up the town. The past three years these gentle
 men have worked unceasingly to run
 these firms out of town by every
 means at their command. Every party or parties who have
 disagreed with them are marked for
 the butcher pen.
 ! With envenomed tongue and an ap- peal to prejudice they have spread
 the seeds of discord among our citi-
 zens.
 And to what end?
 The city has lost two-thirds of its
 population, building has been retard-
 ed, plans for betterment of proper
 ties upset. and dozens of failures of
 business firms have taken place thru the machinations of this combination. ] If we ever intend to have town here it must offer some inducement to outsiders. We must stop this un- seemly squabbling and get down to business before other towns get so far ahead of us that we can never catch up.
 Plans are now under way to move our court and federal buildings to some other town in the district, and to frustrate these plans we must pre- sent united front. In another year the Anchorage and Seward vote will be large enough to put through any project in this division they desire, provided they vote unitedly. Are you willing to help destroy the town at the instigation of a bunch of men. who if they cannot rule will ruin?
 Every available voter on the Hub bard -Frame-Boyle combination has registered. They are in control of the registration books: they are in con- trol of the judges, and in control of the ballot boxes. Their power is un- limited at the coming election and they will undoubtedly use it.
 A little over half of the voting strength of their opponents has been registered up to the present time. Our citizens seem indifferent as to the re- suits of the coming election. After it is over it is too late for regrets.
 The time to work is now! If you are satisfied with the way things have. been run the past year. we have nothing more to say But. if you believe that our city should go ahead and take her place with the other cities of the Territory, we ask you to go and register. Get your friends out, and see that their votes are cast for good govern ment and greater Valdez. We have nothing whatever % say as to the private life of these gentle men, but their official actions have made Valdez a laughing stock and byword from California to Maine. . If you are in favor of a square deal to all. with no favors to any special party; if you believe in the better ment and growth of your city; If you would stop this internal strife which has torn our town asunder and emp tied our buildings;
 GO AND REGISTER!
