FORMER GOVERNOR STOKES
PAYS HARDING TRIBUTE

TRENTON, Aug. 3.-Former Gov
ernor +. c. Stokes, state Republican
chairman. this morning upon learn
ing of the death of President Hard
ing, issued-the following statement:
1.-THE death of the President is the
grief of the nation. President
Harding, like Mckinley, was a kind
ly human man. He was just, gen.
erous and forebearing. The Ameri-
can people had confidence in his sim
cerity, and were self-secure in his
broad minded charity and fairness.
Ho had many fliends and no ene-
mics. He was a wise and safe pilot
and steered the nation in safe waters
amid the storms of political agita-
ton.
1T is too early to estimate his
achievement. He was a great Amer
ican-great because he was calm
while others were disconnected and
restless in the aftermath of war.
"His death seems like a sacrifice
to quiet and sober the nation. Under
this great affliction the people will
forget their little grievances, realize
the responsibilities thrown upon
them by the death of their captain,
and out of their grief will come a
more united and stronger nation"

The reporter grasped the situation
instantly and rushed to the Associa-

a bulletin of the startling news of
the Presidents collapse. 1t was
three minutes before the President
died that the startling news of the
collapse was on the wire. Then the
reporter returned to his post and
received the official announcement
of the death which was flashed i'm
mediately to all parts of the world.
This quick work was not due
to luck, accident. or chance. 1t was
the result of careful preparation and
watchfulness. When President Hard

men from the Washington bureau Of

In 1915 he became Lieutenant

slogan of Flaw and order" growing
out of the Boston police strike he
was reelected governor in 1919 by

vote ever given a candidate for gov

1t was his stand as Governor dur
ing the police strike that won him
nationwide recognition. When this
crisis developed and responsibility
for action passed to him after the
failure of the municipal authorities

branded the strike as a desertion OF

JAMES DAILY
of Nome

He understands the "ropes" probab- ly better than anyone else in the House as he is the oldest member in point of service. He is man of in ordinate ambition who will not stop at anything to gain his point or avenge fancied wrong. His studied insult ing of the Speaker and his own col leagues lost him the respect of his fcllow-members and the public. His were the only remarks which were ordered "expunged" from the Gre cord' by the vote of the House. He is sly, sleek, foxy man of the 'in- terests," who feigns support of pro- gressive measure but knows where to put the "knife." His votes generally went with the group Foster, Murray, Price and Staser, an ominous group serving the big interests.

SNODGRASS,
Senator of the Fourth.

This Senator is fine type of man, easily approached, listens care fully to all sides, then makes up his own mind and votes as he thinks is right Many think he was opposed to Commissioner of Education Hender- son, but those who asked him knew that he favored Henderson from the start. The people mistook his open mindedness and willingness to be shown how the schools would be bettered by making a change as indicating opposi- ton. Sober minded citizens must ad- nit that no candidate appeared who promised so well as MT. Henderson the maintenance of the standard of our schools. We are, sorry that Mr. Snod- grass will not run again for the Sen ate. He represents his district well.

JOHN H. DUNN, Senator
Of the Fourth

Senator Dunn is honest. He strains at few gnats and swallows a few camek, but does so with honesty of purpose. In voting against the con trol. bill, a measure intended to place more power with the people through elected officials, his purpose was ab solutely conscientious even though his inccnsistency in praying for a greater measure of home rule from Congress and rejecting an opportunity to ob tain greater territorial power through the organic act as it now stands was not apparent to him. Senator Dunn was not influenced in the leas> de- gree by the impressive majesty of ap- rointed officials as other senators were He failed to analyze the control bill Dunn's thoughts are along progressive lines. He has the courage of his con victions. He represents his district well.

straddle it. Throughout the United States, including Alaska, the electors are demanding that candidates for public office take a position on one side or the other of political issues and are intolerant of candidates who tke both sides. Senator Dimond stood with the people in demanding the withdrawal of the fishery reserves, but stood with the fish trust in opposi- tion to the use of the instrument pro vidcd by the constitution for protec- tion of the rights of the people. Sen ator Dimond knows very well that the trusts have no fear of memorials to Congress, and he also knows well that the trusts dread action in the courts
 Senator Dimonds fiftyfifty policy with the interests and the people has been tried repeatedly by politicians in the past but has always met with failure.

RICHARD DECKER
of Nome

An excellent legislator who by his talent and devotion to public interests, soon became the floor leader of the Progressives. He has strong convic- tions and the courage to express them. Like all men who think ahead of their time, he must bear the jeers of those who look upon progress as dangerous. He stood souarely for R Home Rule, against handing over Territorial mon ey to Federal officials, for the model workmen's compensation act, against the Fish Trust for fair tax on ex cess profits on mines. He could not be bullied or stampeded. As re- suit of his effort to repeal the syndi- calist law, certain prominent members of the American Legion have ceased attending his chudch. However, Deck CT stands for Freedom of Speech and the Press in it's real sense as meant by the founders of this Republic and not as one who would destroy our country as some would lead the people to believe.

 E. M. FOLEY
 of Sitka
 A young man with an honest pur- pose to serve his constituents but in- fluenced by the blandshments of ap- pointed officials. The flattering at tention of high officials places men of the Policy type in an uneasy pre- dicament. The legislative views of the electorate and appointed officials rarely coincide.
 This man made no promises before election. His published platform was "l believe in the present policy of coordination and progress" CD His friends said he was "progressive," at one time head of the labor union in Juneau; that he once ran for city council; was defeated but got the job of Street Commissioner from his suc- cessful opponents.
 After election, he promptly forgot that he had constituents; was said to have dined frequently with certain high officials; became messenger boy for the same officials; and sought to impress others with his intimacy with the higher-ups by saying every now and then, "While I was dining with the king yesterday, Cor was it the President or Senator or Cover norO he told me, etc., etc." During the debate on the Foster Literacy Bill designed by it's author to stop Indians from voting, Policy accused his fellow members with being corrupt and spon sors of "rotten politics." The insult did not go unanswered. Later he introduced bill to get S4O,OOO for a museum. The defeat of this bill was directly due to Policy himself, his charge of "rotten politics." ''corrupt fellowmembers," the loss of respect by his turning ingrate to the very peo- pie who elected him. and to the fact that his promises on many bills to his fellow members was found to be good for ony about ten minutes-we should say five minutes.
 The record of this man should teach electors that they should not support man who makes a secret of his prin- clples, and who runs on personal platform, Too often it results in personal gain.
