Jones in Is minutes after they left tke court room. The estimate of the case by the district attorney himself sums up the situation: "I had you beat until the Judge read his instructions to the jury," he said to mo after the case was over. And this is probably the truth for 1 lay no claim to special eminence in my legal attachments.
 1 have read with great interest the debate between Dr. Condit, Su- perintendent of the Sheldon Jack son School at Sitka, and John w. Troy, of the Juneau Empire. Dr.. Condit views the facts as histori- an, without prejudice but with a true appreciation of the development of Alaska. Whereas the betrayer of Governor Strong has for his single purpose the appeal to the basest passions of mankind, the desire to set class against class, race against race.
 There is no question about the legal status of Indian votes. They are lawful voters whose qualifica tions have been clearly defined by Congress in the act passed February &, 1887 GU. s. Jones) and "no state, territory or authority has any power or authority to modify or add to that statute," GU. s. Jones.)
 The lawyers of the trapmen know this very well and that is the req son that there was no contest about the count of the primary returns this year.
 Then why does the betrayor of Governor Strong harp and harp on tke socalled illegal Indian vote when it is not true? Because the mind of this betrayor is so warped by years and years of wrong thinking, by years of bending facts or chang ing them to suit his own selfish purposes. The betrayor of Governor Strong thought that he could raise enough of a smoke screen that the people would be fooled in putting lis tools in power. They did not, and they will not When the count is made next November, he will find that the people intend to try cut a new bunch and see if there is any truth in mankind.
 If I am elected, I intend to so conduct myself that the common people can never say that I be- trayed them. I will do or try to do what I have promised, and this goes for the men who are on the ticket with me.

THE RACE PROBLEM
 IN ALASKA
We have no real race problem.

 friendly people. Indeed, the simple minded Indian thought the white man to be superior in every way. Little did they realize that these "pioneers' came mostly to acquire great wealth; that the fur traders were literally skin dealers whose speciality was skinning; that the early soldiers and sailors took the best girls up here and married o them only to leave wives and chll- dren when their term of enlistment expired. Many of this class had wives in the States and returned to them.
 Of course there were exceptions, and men were honorable enough to their own children. It would De dangerous to make fun of "squaW men" in southeastern Alaska at least for you would be hitting men in high position, some big merchants, town councilmen, mayors and eN- mayors.
 When did the race problem be- gin? It began with the advent o1 Wilson Democrats. These ottlce holders were southern born Demo- crats who brought with them cer- tain notions of their superiority ove' every person whose skin Is not white. Men like John w Troy who freouently violates the constitution of our country, whose breach Of the laws is we'll known to our pubic officials but who is unmolested h'. cause he belongs to and serves the gang who feed at the public crib, men like these are in control ot our press. They feed what race prejudice there is, they nourlsh It because it serves their purpose. Their editorials are full of false lCgic. These men arrogantly assume that they know the legal status ot tLese Native Americans and also their manner of living when their ig,.crance should be apparent to evSyone.
 Ut is not a question of the right to vote of those who have abandoned their tribal conditions, learned to read and write and speak the Eng fish language and who have been absorbed in the community of Am erican Alaskans," these are not in volved says John w. Troy, the r vho betrayed his benefactor.
 The facts are that in law there are no tribal conditions or relations in Alaska. This point was we'll set forth in the decision of the District Court here last October in the case against Charlie Jones, charged with illegal voting since he was an h. dian.
