centuries before these pagan customs

In old England Christmas became a

the pagan idea. Later the spirit Of
Purltanism began to influence English
customs and public zeal ran so high
that all gayety and all festivity came
to be considered sinful.
All observances OF special days were
declared designed by the "deville,"

Political Rally
Sutherland, Hunt, Paul,
 and Rustgard Speak

A political raily was neid in the Reomens hali Tuesday night. The aItenuance was not as large as Il propably would nave been had the meeting been advertised further ln advance.
 Forest j. Hunt. candidate for the Territorial Senate. was the first speaker. MT. Hunt, after reviewing the experiences oI tue early pioneers in America, both before and after the Revolutionary War, stated that the people of Alaska are now getting a taste of some of the experiences that were endured by our forefath- CTS, because Alaska is not SO much in the hands of the people as the Or ganic Act intended. In bidding for the support of the Wrangeil people al the coming election MT. Hunt stated that he was willing to stand on his past record.
 The next speaker was John Rust gard, candidate for reelection to the office of attorney general. MT. Rust gard's address was more or less in the nature of a report of the work that has been done by the attorney gen. eral during the past three and one- half years. He stated that the duties of his office are quite different from those of any other officer: that he is a legal advisor to the other officers of the Territory including the mem bers of the legislature, and that on account of conditions prevailing in Alaska he had also become sort of city attorney for the different mu- nicipalities of the Territory, as well school boards.
 MT. Rustgard told at some length ot his work in connection with the transportation problem, and of the difficulties he encountered when he bumped up against the US. Shipping Board. He said he believed that the power to fix rates should be given to some body having legislative power. like the Interstate Commerce Com merce Commission.
 In connection with his candidacy for reelection. MT. Rustgard said Tt is up to you to decide whether am to remain in office"
 William L. Paul was the next speaker. MT. Paul said that Wrangell was home to him. as he had been in and out of here all his life. and that his strongest friends and his bitter. est enemies are in Wrangell.
 He said he believed that if the Territory is ever divided wrangell
The Wrangell sentinel., 1924-10-23

should be made the capital of South Alaska, and that when the time comes he will be ready to work to bring the capital to Wrangell with the proviso that all the bitterness and petty jealousies. and social dis content and i'll will that prevail in the present capital city be left there.
 MT. Paul is a lawyer by profession and in the course of his remarks he placed himself in the position of man pleading his own case before a jury. He said "There is something about me that some of you don't like, but what is it z? You have nev- CT seen me bumming around town. When the saloons were running you never saw me go to the bar and take drink. You never saw me in the company of woman who leads a life of shame. l am a trained busi- ness man. No man in Alaska has handled bigger business than 1 have. For five years was attorney in fact for a fifteen million dollar concern.
 In meekness he stated that by God s help he had tried to do what was right, and that he believed that the essence of Christianity is to Love thy neighbor as thyself." He also most fervently expressed the lofty sentiment that the whole world would be thorougly changed if we all practiced the golden rule.
 At the conclusion of MT. Paul's po- litical speech Hon. Dan Sutherland was appropriately introduced by the chairman.
 Among other things MT. Suther- land discussed the road situation in Alaska, and produced figures show ing that Alaska is receiving much more liberal treatment from the Federal government in the matter oi money for public roads than is the Territory of Hawaii.
 The Delegate also discussed the fisheries question at some length, and incidentally mentioned some o1 the difficulties he had to cope with in his fight at Washington. He ex- pressed the belief, however, that the fisheries question would finally be adjusted satisfactorily. He said that he was becoming more and more inn pressed with the importance of Alaskas fishing resources which are greater than those of the North Sea, and he predicted that within ten years Alaska fisheries would become greater than those of any other fishing country on earth.
 MT. Sutherland warmed up on the literacy question, declaring that the literacy bill that was introduced in the last legislature was not Ameri- can and not fair in any sense of the word; that it was merely a smoke screen for a campaign of race preju- dice and hatred.
