 Why SuIzer Should Be Renominated
 and Reelected
 "1. Because he has made the best Delegate Alaska ever had For the past year he has been on the job every minute and has given his strict attention to every matter that con- cerns Alaska or any individual Al askan.
 "2. Because he is in perfect har- mony with the administration in and now has large ac- quaintance with the heads of the various departments, Senators and Congressman, and thereby will be able to accomplish even more in the future than he has in the past.
 "3. Because he has given fair and honest consideration to each and all of his constituents in legislative en- actments; to the homesteader, the the mine operator and the investor; he has given everyone a square deal.
 A. Because he favors the enlarge ment of the legislative powers of the Territory and now has bill pending in Congress for that pur- pose, which will become a law at this session.
 "5. Because he has caused to be enacted or is pushing for enactment the following legislation:
 Granting Alaska full territorial
 form of government with home

 Regulating the fisheries of Al
 aska along lines that will be
 fair to all, and the protection
 of the salmon supply from de.

 Making changes in the home
 stead laws by abolishing the
 eighty rod reservation.
 Authorizing free surveys of
 homesteads in isolated sections.
 Changing the game laws SO as
 to give the people a better op-
 portunity to use the game of the
 Territory without its being wan
 tonly slaughtered
 Extending the Federal Farm
 Loan Act to the Territory of AL
 aska.
 Providing for the care of AL
 aska's insane within the Terri
 tory

 "2. Because the President refused to reappoint Strong Governor of Al aska and because Secretary Lane after a careful investigation of MT Strong's citizenship or lack of eiti zenship withdrew his support ol Strong, Maloney is now endeavorins to wreck the Democratic Party.
 "3. Because he has not the qualifi cations or experience to make ar efficient Delegate in Congress.
 "d Pocauso he is mt Sincere H.
