(Cordova Times)

(Cordova Times
For several weeks past the Seattle-Alaska poll
ticians have been conducting aggressive campaign
from the Spirit City in the interest of the candidacy
of Charles E. Heron for Republican National Com
niteeman from this Territory The iwres have been
kept busy and numerous letters written by these
outside influences debating to the Republicans VINO
they should elect the coming primaries as their
standard bearer The residan of Alaska have at
all times resented the dicatorial attitude OF haEd
fri of Seattletes of whom formerly resided in
the North, and playing politics in the nope
of being rewarded By the appointment to Federa'
office in Alaska. They barnacles on the BODY
polite and the they thrown into the as
the better it will be for the bona fide residents
of this Territory. With nothing more than dig
ordered imagination the biased belief of 5rag-
CART IS q foundation they think they caiole and
browhea the intelligent voters Alaska into casting
their for the candidates of their choice regard
less of his fitness for the office to which he aspires
The latest addition to the support of Heron comes
from the Seattle Union Record, whose editor h b.
Ault, is present trial charged with having Grim
inay libelled the memory of the four service men
who were killed in the Armistice Day shooting at
Centraia. 1t is lengthy affusion written by O. H.
Packard formerly employed Herrons paper at
Anchorage, and he makes pitful plea In behat OF
his onetime boss If reorts are correct he hopes to
soon again be in the employ of him, which may
account for Packards great soicitude for Heron S
success at the primaries
Herron's paper at Juneau. the Alaska Daily Capt.
tai, has been loudly crying that Democrats going
to enter the Republican primaries and vote for Nc
Bride All this camouflage sounds much like stop
thief in view of the above. Are Alaskans to be
hoodwinked by this kind of claptrap and the pres
sure" from Seattle in the effort to divert the un
thinking voter to support Heron We do not be-
lieve they easily fooled.
If we any judge of the independence and in
tegrity of the people of Alaska do not believe
that they will calmly submit to this Napoleonic
theory being imposed upon them, but assert their
manhood and go to the polls April q and cast
their vote soidly for j. C. Mcbride for Republican
National Committeeman. He is a man among men,
who enjoys the friendship and respect of all who have
met know of him during his twenty-five years
continuous residence in Alaska. During all of this
time he has been engaged in various mining and
mercantile enterprises, and is certainly conversant
with the needs of the Territory. He has the ability
to faithfully and conscientiously discharge the duties
of the position, well the force of character to
deal honestly and fairly with his constituents A
vote for Mcbride Territorial progress and
prosperity. He is nit bartering any of the offices,
but stands unequivocally for Alaskans to administer
their affairs and believes the members of the
party in the different divisions have the right to
voice in their selection.
