MASSES SHOULD WORK WITH sULzER

The interest of the progressive masses of Alaska is served best by those who work hardest for self government in this Territory. The working people of Aaska-those who do the work of the Territory. not those incompetent demagogues who try work the workers for political favors those inferior workmen, unable to hold down a job, who endea vor to make easy living by posing champions of poor downtrodden labor'-understand that the first way to popular government in Alaska is to bring the powers of government here where all the people participate in exercising them Popular government in this Territory cannot be served by high sounding palayer about nconsequential things. It cannot be served by macontents and soreheads, or by envious selfish, designing politicians, who abuse others and seek to spread for personal profit discontent and contention but have constructive policy to offer. It be served by the incompe- tents and treacherous. 1t only be served by earnest, straightforward workers. And the first step necessary get this of service is bring gov ernment here to Alaska that the busy who are actually doing things in the Territory do of the governing.
 Delegate Sulzer should receive the support of the masses of the people of this Territory because he is supporting them by working for democratic government in Alaska-for government by the people instead of government through pull

 Moreover knitting is essentially supplementary. Because it be carried about everywhere, picked up at odd moments it nterferes with no regular work domestic. It is the salvation of idle hands; knit is to defy the devil.
