 CAMP PA|GN ISSUES

prices, was almost exhausted, and legislation will have to be introduced to get more money to complete the road. Mir. Wickersham, in venting his personal spite on Governor Riggs and trying to saddle him with a mis-
 take that any engineer is liable to
 make, is doing so in utter disregard to the interests of the people of Alaska, whom he seeks to serve. Such tactics and statements are
 not going to impress Congress flaw
 orably and, of course, the people
 of Alaska will be the sufferers. It would be well for the voters to i give these matters their earnest con
 sideration before casting their votes and convince themselves as to the
 propriety of sending fit and proper
 person to Congress to act in their best interests.
 Mr. Ryan ably defined the con
 structive policy adopted by the
 Democratic party in power. Theirs,
 he said, was a policy of conserva
 tion by utilization and that it was
 the intent and purpose of the ad-
 ministration to develop all the re-
 sources of the country and that they counted on the help of Alaskans
 to give effect to this policy. Very noticeable good has resulted so far and it remained for the Alaskans to decide whether this should con-
 tinue or not

 qualities and commended him to the
 favorable consideration of the voters , MT. Pennington, who is well 5 known sourdough, was greeted cor 5 dially and in opening his address . said that he had never been in poli- : tics before, and that politics fright

 best interests of Alaska in all mat ters pertaining to her welfare. He . made special reference to educa- tional matters, which, he said he
 had a special fondness for, anC pledged himself to do all he possibly can to obtain laws for the extension of educational facilities and better ing existing conditions wherever } possible. He urged the voters tt support Delegate Sulzer, who was { > man of proved ability, a dignifiec gentleman, who never descended tt malicious personal attacks to gar . political ends. He was a man tha could be trusted to forget persona quarrels, if he had any, and worl < whole heartedly for the best inter ests of Alaska and Alaskans, as ht had done in the past. He said h, < had greatly enjoyed the discussion } of the political issues by the pre- vious speakers, and that it gave hin I great pleasure to hear such a clea1 and clean exposition of the worl done by and the status of Delegate Sulzer; and in making an appeal ol behalf of Mr Sulzer, he said tha
 he did not find that it was necessar! to attack the personal character O any of his political opponents. MT
