ORATORS DISCUSS
 CAMPAIGN ISSUES

At the Nenana Labor Union Hall last night, George Grigsby, attorney general of Alaska, delivered a speech to a large audience of the voters of this district Long before the appointed time quite a crowd of people gathered at the hall, their ranks being further agumented inn mediately after the conclusion of the picture show.
 United States Commissioner R. S. Mcdonald presided, and in his open ing address, said that MT. Grigsby was there to convince those assembled with sound argument, why they should support the Democratic ad- ministration and MT. Sulzer, who en- joyed the confidence and good will of that administration. Mir. Me- Donald eloquently pointed out the difficulties besetting the administra- tion in the present great crisis and the very able manner in which it was handling and disposing of the momentuous issues confronting it; issues unparalled in their magnitude and scope, in the worlds history. The eyes of the entire world, he said, were riveted on our admin stration, which also gained the un- qualified approval and commenda- tions of the governments of the civilized nations for the very able and complete way in which the diff cult questions arising out of the world war were met and adequately disposed of. The governments of the other great world powers, he said, have had frequent upheavals in their cabinets; and their economic and political structures were ire gently disorganized, but our ad- ministration, which was bean ing the burden of the world and solving some of the most difficult problems that have sprung up in the memory of man, have continued the work without a hitch and with but two changes in the cabinet, due more to personal rather than to economic reasons. He referred to former Secretary of State Bryan and for mer Secretary of War Garrison. The present administration, he pointed out, endorsed Mir. Sulzer, who was also personally acquainted with and enjoyed the confidence of the cab inet officers and the President. This fact alone, he thought, should be potent factor in determining the election of fit and proper person to represent this territory in the councils of the nation.
 The commissioner then, in few words, introduced George w. Pen nlngton, who is a candidate on the Democratic ticket for a seat in the lower house of the territorial legis- lature. MT. Pennington's speech was very brief. He said that he hoped to be able to address the voters at some length little later on, be- fore election. He was glad of the visit of Mir. Grigsby, who very clearly refuted the misstatements of MT. Wickersham. Mir. Grigsby. he said, was firm believer in the g. hour law, and warm advocate of the movement to obtain government help in gold production in the way of a bonus. Mir. Grigsby also prom ised to draft an eight-hour law that will be honored in the courts of law
 MT. Mcdonald then introduced MT. Nordale, one of the best known men of the North, who is running for territorial representative on the Democratic ticket. In making the introduction, the commissioner said that like MT. Pennington, MT. Nor dale was too we'll known to need an introduction to a Northern au- dience. MT. Nordale came to the North in the early days of the Klondike boom and has stayed with the country steadily ever since. He knew MT. Nordale to be progressive
