vote for a return to the rotten con- vention system that permits John w. Troy, Bert Faulkner, R. B. Rob ertson and Jack Mcbride to hand pick your future candidates.
 If you wish to keep the primary system of selecting our candidates, you will have to vote for the Re publican candidates. You may not like some individual among them, but they are your only hope.
 Do you believe that injured work men, or their widows and orphans should be thrown out on the street to beg for a mere existence, or be put to hire lawyers to get fair treat ment from the employers, too often the worst class being the rich mine or cannery? What has a single Democrat said about amending the present unjust law, written in large party by the attorneys of the Alaska Juneau and the Alaska Gastineau Mining Companies. As matter of fact the Democratic candidates are opposed to any change.
 Therefore, if you want a law sim liar to that of the state of California, you will have to vote for the Re- publican candidates.
 The Republican Candidates are pledged to provide enough money to pay our old people the money which the law says they should have. You will remember that MT. H. R. Shep- ard was John w. Troy's personal candidate for renomination by the Re publican party. MT. Troy trys to nominate all the candidates on both parties. But you should also re- member that MT. Shepard was the man who forgot to appropriate the money for the old age pensions. And do not forget, MT. Shepard and MT. Troy are both voting the Democratic ticket this year.

REAL ISSUES OF 1924

The smoke screen of the literacy test has somewhat taken the hands of the citizens off the real issues of this campaign. After the literacy test bill has been passed, if it does pass, what will the Democratic can didates do on the issues that are vital to you?
 If literacy test bill should be passed, the courts will promptly de- clare it unconstitutional for the Dis trict Court of this Division has al ready said that our legislature can not lawfully pass such bill.
 Then what?
 How will the Democrats vote on the question of the Controller Bill, the bill which will provide that we elect our own major officials and which will direct them to run our own institutions instead of letting the Gentleman from New York and John w. Troy do it.
 If you want the electors of this Territory to run Alaska for the in terest of Alaskans, you will have to vot efor the Republican Candidates as listed on the last page of this magazine.
 How will the Democrats vote on the question of equal taxation? Do you still wish to exempt the big mines as under the present law, anI place all the tax on the small busi- ness man, truck driver, automobiles, grocery stores and such? Has single Democrat proposed by the Juneau Empire made single state ment which would lead you to ex- pect relief from our unjust system of taxation?
 Then you will have to vote for the Republican candidates for they are pledged to pass fair tax law?
 Will tn eDemocrats attempt to re- peal the primary election law and return to the old convention system of manipulating your future cnadi- dates? This is the avoWed purpose of the Democratic party. If you vote the Democratic ticket you will

THE SULZER FISH BILL

We are told that if Dan Suther- land and James Wickersham had not defeated the Sulzer fish bill Alaska would have had control of her fish cries. This is another of the half truths that the Juneau Empire feeds it's readers.
 What are the facts?
 The Sulzer fish bill was written by the attorneys of the Salmon Can ners' Association. The bait which these attorneys showed was that clause which promised us the right to control our fisheries.
 The joker was this-the same law would have fastened on Us the trap system so we could never have abol- ished them.

The Republican Ticket speaks for itself; every man a Progressive. Not a single man of them is rubber stamp.

THE PASSING OF WOODROW WILSON,

The place OF Woodrow Wilson in history is fixed.
His name is destined to occupy a conspicuous page
in the annals OF his country. He was easily one
of the outstanding figures in the great World war.
The service which he rendered in this great drama
of blood and iron is matter for future historians
adequately to set forth AS an idealist he will con-
tinue to hold foremost place among the great
statesmen OF his generation. The crowning
achievement of his life failed of it's full accomp-
lishment largely through his inexorable de-
votion to his idealism But the League of Ma
tons, for which he probably gave his life, will
remain monument to his memory. Like
most great men, he had his faults but these faults
do not obscure his great contributions to his coun-
try and the world in the masterful manner in
which he conducted the nations affairs in the
time OF the worlds sorest trials.
There is denying the fact that Woodrow
Wilson has enshrined himself in the hearts of
great multtudes of his fellow countrymen, and
established himself in the high estimation of the
peoples OF all the nations of the world The news
of Woodrow Wilson's death was the occasion for
universal expression of respect for him as a man
and appreciation of his great services in the
cause OF humanity.

GEORGIA HIGHWAYS

GEORGIA HIGHWAYS -(Waycross Journal
Herald-If you are inclined to knock the highways
OF your own State it will perhaps stop some of
that knocking il you will remember the following
facts. These comparisons for the year 1922 and
compiled by American Highways, national
magazine. 1t is very probable that the 1923 fig
ures will give better showing for Georgia
Georgia ranked seventh among the states in the
proportion of state highways to the total road
mileage in the state.
In population, Georgia ranked twelfth
In population per mile of state highway Georgia
ranked twenty second.
In taxable valuation Georgia ranked thirty first
In taxable valuation per mile of state highway
Georgia ranked forty-second
In federal aid per mile of state highway Georgia
ranks thirty second.
In number of automobiles and trucks per mile of
state highway Georgia ranks thirty eighth
In gross revenue from automobile and truck
license fees Georgia ranks twenty-sixth
With fewer people and less money Georgia has
proven able to rank seventh in proportion of state
highways to total road mileage.
Instead of knocking Georgia congratulate her
for what she is doing and for the improvements
she is making in her roads
