CHARLES SULZER
 AIRS HIS VIEWS

Garden City people had the priv ilege ot hearing Charles sulzer' Democratic candidates foT congress speak last night in Elha Hall' For uyer an hour and R half he held their attention on the political question confronting Alaska and in behalC Of his candidacy Shortly after delivering his address he 4ett cml the gas launch St. Nicholas, for Juneau where he is scheduled to deliver a series of political speech es. Tn the early part of the af- ternoon he delivered a political @d- dress to the people of Haines.
 The hall was filled by eight thirty. the band struck up a live Iv tune and the speaker and his escorts mounted the rostrum, He was Introduced by MlYor Ashley who told the assembled voters th"t he believed in Alaska too close poRitfcal lines should not be drawn and taat 1t was pleasure for nm to introduce the speaker of the evening.
 The Democratic campadgner thanked the people of skagway for his hearty reception and told them how glad he was to be with them'
 He spent considerable time in describing his campaign itinerary +brm tpo interior and to the west ward More time was taken up by a grabhic description of the won derhlIness of the Territory of AL aska and the prospects for its fu- +ure development. Having finished this tbe sneaker launched forth on his political speech.
 "The worst political machine thai ever existed in Alaska' IS fourd in the Fourth Division. That is why Q number of the people m that divisfonI have decided to vote for me in the coming election said Mr sulzer. "L have two op- Drnents in this race, Mrs. Lena Morrow Lewis, representing the socialist party and MT. WICK ersban Mrs. Lewis appears on a D .atform mostly ct world wide prob Iems which makes the campaign ultimately sift down to MT. wicker sham and myself. MT. Wickersham is anrearing in different divisions and holding, himself out as belleV inr in different parties. l come be- fore you on the Democratic plat form and believe that more good can be done for Alaska by sticking to party principles" further add ed MT. Sulzer.
 He then took up the question of Full Territorial form of govern mept and the effect of the Organic act on the powers of tho TerritoriaI law makers. 'eThe Organic act is a damper to the real progress ot the Alaska Territorial Legislation. I believe that Full Territorial Form Of Government is the oRly method of solution. By that method the Territory could legislate on matters with which we are thoroughly Ia miliar and which the clerks at Washington do not understand, said MT, sulzer, dn covering this part of hds speech.
 Winding his speech up with whirlwind burst of forensic Oratory' he pledged hds support for the advancement of Alaska and said .ha- he had adopted the slogan "Al- aska for Alaskans."

CITY OFDAVENPCRT
INTERVIEWS IN CASE

In accordance with resolutions pass
ed at special meeting of the Daven-
port city council yesterday afternoon,
the city attorney this morning filed
papers Of Intervention in the saloon
test case now before the supreme court
at Des Moines. The council took the
above action at request of the attor-
neys for the saloon men. The right
of Intervention was based on the petit
ton of consent, drawn up in Daven-
port year and a half ago, to let the
saloons operate for period of five
years under the mulct law. When the
prohibition law was instituted Jan.
the state maintained that the petition
was made null and void, but the city
held differently. By terms of the petit
ton Of consent the saloons still have
three and one-half years to operate.
The saloon men took the above course
to show the supreme court that the
city OF Davenport was taking an in
terest in the case.
