BIG SEND0FF
 FOR E. GRIFFIN FAIRBANKS OK,
were made

A very pleasant social gathering was held last evening at the home of Eagan & Griffin of Fairbanks creek in honor of E. G. Griffin, who leaves for the army training quar. ters tomorrow. About eighty of the many friends of the young man were present, many of them coming from the nearby creeks. Many songs of patriotic nature were sung and numerous speeches and toasts were made.
 A number of valuable as well as useful gifts were presented, among which was very handsome sweater knit by Mrs. Joe Henderson and Mrs. Tom Gilmore as present from the ladies. The gentlemen present ed watch fob.
 MT. Griffin is one of the men who will leave Fairbanks on Tuesday. He is in hopes of getting ,n,o spe. cial work. but is extremely anxious to be of service to the country wherever 1t may find need of him. He finds it hard to wait until he is actually fighting the Huns.

The following letters explain themselves
 Juneau, Alaska, May 30th, 1918. Louis K. Pratt. Esq,
 Fairbanks, Alaska.
 My Dear Judge Pratt:
 have just been informed today that you were the successful candidate at the primaries and although my sympathies were with my old colleague Senator Gaus- tad in the contest, I extend to you my congratulations on your success.
 l understand that your opponent on the Democratic ticket will be MT. Hess for whom l have respect as a gentleman but whose record as a member of the Alaska Legislature l feel it my duty to condemn.
 l am not speaking extravagantly nor unjustly when l say that insofar as his attitude on progressive laws and laws founded on social justice is concerned the record of Mr. Hess is positively the worst from my viewpoint of any member of either body. His sole ambition after his arrival at Juneau seemed to be to serve the Democratic machine and the special interests and this he did to the limit.
 II you WILL get JOuFual OI the 1OuSe from one of the Fairbanks members and peruse it you will find that MT. Hess during the whole session cast but one single vote that could be termed pro- gressive and that was for bill forbid ding the giving of tobacco to children and was voted for by every member of the legislature.
 It is about time that mans constitu. ents should know something of his record in the legislature and I believe it is up to candidates to publish the record of their opponents and thus let the people know just who and what they are voting for. In the past there has been a disposition on the part of members to refrain from criticism of the acts of those who served with them and thus the people of the In- terior and other sections remain in ig. norance of what has been done at legis. lative sessions.
 MT. Hess voted against the General Primary Act. together with three other members of the House; why. do not know.
 He voted against the Eight Hours of

 BE IN CHARGE

On the next trip of the launch Helen M for Brooks, R. Myerson, first class private in the signal corps, will take passage for that place to take charge of the wireless station there, operating it under the direc' tion of the government for Falcon Joslin.
 Whether the assignment of Pri vate Myerson to the charge of the wireless means that the government is to tatke 1t over or not is con lecture, no means being at hand to ascertain whether 1t has been pur chased or not.
 Some time ago at one of the meet. ings of the council of defense the proposition of the government ac quiring this plant was taken up, a formal petition being presented to the government for that purpose. No definite news has been received that the petition has been acted upon.

QUIET WEDDING IN NENANA TOWN

NENANA, Sept. 28.-At the resi- dence of Mrs. Joseph Swetz and in the immediate presence of a few inti- mate friends, the marriage of +. MT. Durwood H. Hooker and Miss Irene Roadruck, both of Fairbanks, was solemnized, Rev. J. J.. Diven of the Presbyterian church officiating. Act ing as witnesses to the ceremony were MT. and Mrs. w. F.

 The groom is corporal in the signal corps at Fairbanks. The bride was connected with the tele- phone exchange there. Following tho wedding ceremony the party at- tenGed the dance at Union hall siver in honor of the boys who are oI their way to Gibbon for induc- ten.

by the interests. aided by the Democratic machine in the house, were not of such nature that the interests could have been greatly injured financially or in any other way, but 1t seemed to be the rule to crush all legislation that can in any way be termed progressive or favorable to the masses.
 l make the assertion that practically all the unrest and dissatisfaction that may be evident among the laboring classes to- day Is caused by this disposition on the part of reactionary few to render invalid the will of the many. On the Coast sec tion of Alaska the cannery interests have their retained attorney selected by the government to arbitrarily fix the price of fish and thus arouse the anger of the fishermen, perhaps not so much by req son of the price fixed as that they have no representation in the adjustment of prices. In the Interior the aniinosity of the people is aroused because the interests attempt to nullify their labor law in the courts and the question one naturally asks is, Why do the interests thus arouse the animosity of the people and cause dissen sion and discord between the classes? If their claim that the labor law is inoper ative is we'll founded, why not, in a dem ocracy. have the people correct the act through its legislature rather than demon strate by court process that ten percent Of the people can have the will of ninety percent nullified. It is not the invalida- ton of the act that causes resentment on the part of the ninety percent but rather that the ten percent have the power to do so: and furthermore. that the ten per cent have the disposition to exercise that power in a democracy where theoretically the will of the majority should be the law of the land. This is not criticism of the court nor of it's constitutional powers. but rather criticism of the interests that take this method of disposing of laws that are not to their taste. Of course. the claim of this fragment of the people is that the great majority was in error when they voted for the eight hour law and thus by an assumption of superior wisdom they still further aggravate the majority.

 He voted against the amendments to the Compensation Act which was probably the most just and humane law proposed at the last session.
 He voted against the Medical Bill which was in effect an act to prevent physicians from testifying in personal injury cases against their patients. for as the law now stands the men pay the physicians fees but the company selects the physi. clan and then uses him as a witness for their defense against the patients suit for compensation.
 He voted against the bill to disqualify a biased judge, an act that is in force in every Progressive State in the Union, and MT. Hess as lawyer knows that it is in force in all the Federal Courts of the United States. To layman in the law it would seem that a biased judge occupies much the same position as biased juror but you are prevented from challenging judge in Alaska as it was so ordered by the Democratic machine, so that there would be no curtailment of the autocratic powers of their judges recent incl. dent in the First Division illustrates the reactionary working of the Democratic machine. An attorney. one Lund from Sc. attle, came to try case before the court at Juneau and having practiced before the high Federal Courts in Washington. SUD- posed that the same laws that govern there were in force here, and accordingly filed an affidavit of bias. He was promptly fined $100.00 and of course is now wonder. ing just what class of men we elect to our legislature who deliberately refuse to permit the disqualifying of an Alaskan judge for prejudice when the judges ap- pointed for life to the highest Federal Courts are disqualified by simple affidavit of bias.
 The publication of a legislators record is a fair and honorable political method and I suggest that you publish the record of MT. Hess as found in the House Journal.

WOOD IS

In the last mail R. c. Wood re- ceived a letter from his brother Frank, who is now member of Co.,. B, 311th Machine Gun Battalion, do- ing service in France.
 Frank writes interestingly of the conditions as he finds them at the front and states that all he has to do is to keep busy according to or ders. From A. M. until about P. M. he is on the go. learning more each day about his duties. It is probable that Pix" has seen some action by this time, as the letter was written about month ago and he expected to be sent into action at any time.

ests approached the matter of suspending the eight hour law in reasonable, friendly and cooperative manner there would have been but little opposition to it's suspension. but asking for its suspension in spirit of antagonism, assuming that capital should always have the right of way. it is not to be wondered at that people protest ed against the suspension.
 The point that 1 desire to emphasize is this: I believe the time has about ar rived when the arrogance of a small min ority in a Democracy should be checked and it can be checked only by electing men to office who will insist that the will of the majority shall prevail.
 It is also time that scholarship and high morality, requisite though they be. should not constitute the entire equipment of a member of our Legislature but that his attitude toward majority rule should be clearly understood before he is elected. To be elected to the Legislature by a majority of ones constituents and then deliberately vote against their will as ex- pressed by referendum is violation of the basic principles of democracy, no mat ter how sincere one may be in his be lief that the majority erred.
 I feel that have frankly expressed my reasons for opposing your candidacy. and l am,

 CITIZENS NOT
 WANTED THERE

In the last mail was received q copy of resolutions passed by the Loyal Leagues of Ruby and Long City. The resolutions, which are ap- pended. were caused by the parties mentioned in them refusing to an swer to the country's call and seek ing exemption by their belonging to neutral country. That the resi- dents of the two places are much in censed is judged by the articles submitted:
 Whereas the Ruby District has supported the Government in the present war to the fullest extent; oversubscribing the Liberty loans; more than filling our quotas of the Red Cross subscription; filling our quotas in the Selective Draft and furnishing many volunteers,
 And Whereas FRED NELSON and THEODORE SVINDLCND, both neutrals. but having previously de- clared their intentions to become citizens of this country, have availed themselves of their privilege to de- cline military service, when called in their regular turns,
 And Whereas, such action of said Nelson and Svindlund is a blot uopn the general reputation and patriotism of this community.
 THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That this Loyal League hereby goes on record as follows:
 That said Nelson and Svindlund are unpatriotic undesirable residents of this community and territory; and that this league will use it's every effort to lawfully clear this district of the presence of the aforesaid un- desirables-and this league will use its best efforts to lawfully force the said Nelson and Svindlund from the community and cause them to lose all rights to exploit the natural re- sources of the public domain"
 Whereupon the Long Loyal League passed the following resolution:
 ZEE IT RESOLVED, That the Long Loyal League hereby endorses the spirit of the resolution of the Ruby Loyal League and pledges itself to do all in its power to further the purpose of the said resolution,
 And Whereas OLGAT ANDERSON and ALBERT BYLUND of Long, Al aska, both neutral aliens, and as such have claimed exemption from the conscription act,
 And Whereas such action of said Anderson and Bylund is an injustice to the thousands of patriotic boys that are fighting the battles of our country;
 THEREFORE, BE TT RESOLVED That the Long Loyal League goes on record as follows:
 That said Anderson and Bylund are unpatriotic undesirable residents ] of the United States, and all per sons claiming such exemptions are a menace to our nationality and a hin drance to our best and highest aims and that it is the desire of this League to have such persons deport ed as soon as possible"

(Copy) .t Juneau, Alaska, May 3Oth, 1918. Hon. Luther c. Hess.
 Fairbanks, Alaska.
 My Dear Sir:
 herewith enclose you copy of d let. ter which have today mailed to MT. l.. K. Pratt, Republican candidate for the Senate from the Fourth Division.
 wish to assure you that in writing this letter I bear you no personal i'll will, but believe 1t to be my duty to assist in the election of one of more progressive tendencies than you.
 Should the next legislature be composed of reactionary members as the House was at the last session there will be no further progress as a territory and the social laws that are now and have been demanded by the mass of the people will never be en. acted.
 It is beyond my comprehension how a gentleman of your education and knowledge of current political events can fail to see that the trend of the times in all other sections of the United States is toward recognition of the mass of the people rather than the special few as in Alaska; for 1t is fact. as you well know, that 1t is next to an impossibility to pass a pro. gressive law in the Alaska legislature ex cept when instructed to do 30 by the referendum method, and even in those circumstances there be those who obstruct the legislation.
 The bills for acts of social justice intro duced in the last legislature and defeated
