Whether or not Delegate Grigsby knew, prior to his arrival at Fair banks recently, how poorly paid are the employees of the Alaskan En- gineering commission, is best an swered in his own words uttered more than a year ago in Congress, while the railroad appropriation bill was under consideration. The fol- lowing appears on page seven of the campaign pamphlet circulated by Mir Grigsby, supposedly true record of the proceedings:
 MT. Ricketts. This road is in process of completion?
 MT. Grigsby. Yes.
 MT. Ricketts. Construction is be- ing carried on there now?
 Mir. Grigsby. Yes.
 MT. Ricketts. How much of a force is being employed in the con- pletion of the work of construction? :?
 Mir. Grigsby. At the present time I understand about 2,4OO men are employed. September, 1919)
 MT. Ricketts. Does the gentle man know what the per diem wage is of these men?
 Mir. Grigsby l think common la. boz receives between 50 and 60 cents an hour. Mr. Ricketts Do you think you will have any trouble in getting la bor there to finish this work? Mr. Grigsby. They will not have

On the occasion of Delegate Grigsby's recent hike over the Broad Pass trail he encountered an old Nome acquaintance beyond the end of steel and was not a little put out to learn that the Nomeite in- tended to vote for Dan Sutherland. They parted friendly enough, how ever, and the delegate resumed his journey with a warning to be on the lookout for a bad swamp some distance beyond.
 Bad going did not improve the temper of the delegate and, coming across another railroad worker a little farther on, he asked some what brusqely when he might ex- pect to reach the swamp of which he had been told. This worker also happened to be an oldtime Nomeite and recognized the delegate but was

HARMONIZE


 ment throughout the country ap- pears to be very strongly Republi- can on the eve of the national election, thereby practically assur- ing the election of Senator Hard ing and an increased Republican majority in Congress, the logical thing for Alaskans to do, in the opinion of The News, is to send a Republican delegate to Washington and Republican legislators to Juneau If the Republicans are going to be in full control at the national capi- tai, as now seems certain. Alaskans may as well make the most of the opportunity to be in harmony with Congress and the Administration. There is more to be gained by being in" with the party in power than "out" and a substantial Republican majority in Alaska at this time would insure for the territory help full recognition at Washington so long as the Republican party re- mains in power -:
 This is not political argument. It is just plain, common sense. We have President Wilson's word for it that it is good business to con sider Washington when We cast our votes in Alaska. On two occasions since becoming President he has urged lAlaskans to elect delegate in harmony with the national admins tration,, encouraging the belief that the Democratic leaders at Washing ton, including himsef, would resent the choice of representative from the ranks of the opposition party
 We do not know that Senator Harding, should he become Presi. dent, would be the less considerate of Alaska were a Democratic dele gate to be elected next Tuesday But he has said "the people ot Alaska can look most hopefully toward the Republican party to hel! the territory" and The News be lieves that such show of friendl! interest should be encouraged tt the extent of rolling up big Re publican majority in Alaska. W. feel the need of change just a much as do the people of the State and even though we cannot cas our ballots for President we can a least show that we are ready to b. on good terms with the new admin istration. The way to do that, a The News sees it, is to vote tn, Republican ticket from top to bot tom.

RUSTGARD WANTS LARGE SUM FROM
 COAST PUBLISHER

The first libel suit in the 1920 political campaign in Alaska has been filed at Juneau. John Rust gard, candidate for attorney-gen- eral on the Republican ticket is suing John w. Troy, publisher and editor of the Juneau Empire, for the modest sum of S25,000. Re gently editorially the Empire had the following to say of Mir. Rust gard:
 HONEST JOHN!
 Word comes from Petersburg that John Rustgard, Wickite candi- date for attorney-general, in a speech at that place, said his con duct had been so exemplary, since he became a resident of Gastineau Channel, that he was known at Juneau as Honest Johnv
 "That reminds us of the old ad- vice to watch the man who needs to have his virtues labeled. Some times these labels are originally be- slowed in sarcasm"
 Previously the Empire had re- leased story that George Grigsby, the Democratic candidate for dele gate, had made stirring and i'm pressive speech on certain date at ketchikan. It appears the speech was postponed and the Empire of flee not notified by wire. Speaking later at Wrangell and Petersburg, Mr. Rustgard used this as an il- lustration of the political methods of the Empire, declaring that pub lication did not confine itself to the truth. Later the Empires Pe- tersburg correspondent wired that Mir. Rustgard had spoken of Hon. est John" ..- ..
 Commenting editorially on the suit, the editor of the Empire says :
 ''In short, MT. Rustgard is grieved because the Empire said he was a Wickite and because it said that he admitted that his conduct had been exemplary and that he had been called honest. He wants it distinct ly understood that he is not Wick ite and that he never bragged that his conduct had been exemplary or 1 that he had earned the right to be called Honest John And he wants S25,000 from anyone who says to the contrary" :...s
 There as been no end of civil and criminal suits filed against Alas ka editors, comments the Seattle Alaska Dispatch. In one instance John H. Cobb made Gloomy Gus O'Brien pay a>s25 fine in the U. S. ] commissioners court for libel The ! publisher of the Dispatch paid a $1 : fine for publishing an alleged libel ous advertisement, which judgment would never have been confirmed in a high court. At one time all the Southeast editors, which included Dr. L. s. Keller, A. R. O'Brien Dummy" Ulrich, Ed c. Russell Charles A. Hopp and Richard Bush. nell, were indicted. As the Dispatch recalls the matter, this paper had libeled Hon. Thomas R. Lyons, dis. trict judge. As Lyons is very estimable gentleman and friend of the publisher, it was aggravat. ing, to say the least. However after Judge Cushman had heard two of the libel suits he threw the rest out of court.
 For some unknown reason the Empire does not comment on Rust, gard's request for retraction. This being refused, then criminal or civil action follows. Usually the amount of injuries is not based on dollars and cents.

himself unrecognlzed.
 "When do 1 get to that swamp" inquired Grigsby a second time, and just little bit impatiently.
 "Oh, you'll get to it all right
 ''As near as 1 can figure, came the reply. you'll get to it on the second of November"
