THE PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM AS EXPRESSED BY J. J. BUCCE

The Progressive Candidates of the First Division find the declaration of principles by J. J. Bugge, of the Third Division, to be so clear and worthy, that they are glad to sub scribe to. them. People of the First Division should remember, however, that J. J. Bugge, although brother of M. J. Bugge of Ketchikan, is an entirely different type of man and not to be confused in any manner to the late foreman of the Ketchikan Grand Jury.

FAIRBANKS. ALASKA

It is hard for us down in the "Pan- handle" to fully understand the mind of certain ones in Fairbanks. I have been reading the fulminations of w. F. Thompson against the First Division. Now MT. Thompson really knows that Juneau is not the First Division. He knows that we would like to get rid of that carpet bagger and his corporation lawyer, R. E. Robertson, who is trying to reap portion the representation in the legislature just as badly as MT. Thompson does.
 Fairbanks has a lot of friends down in this Division for Juneau is very small part of the Terri tory. It is only Juneau, and not all of them, that has it's Shepard, who wish to so arrange it that Juneau will have it's seven votes in the House of Representatives and thus be in control
 If Fairbanks will tend to her own washing or knitting, and elect a solid progressive delegation, we will show the world that "All have not bowed their knee to Baal." We do not know many of the candidates, but we do know that the Fairbanks delegation that came to Juneau in 1923 were intelligent, fairmindel men. 1 do not know where you could get better Senator than Mr. Dunn. And if you have another man like him, send him down. MT. H. H. Ross was man that would be creditable representative from any district, and how MT. Thompson can figure that Fred B. Johnston was "weak" is more than we can under stand.
 The Triggers in the wood- -pile," MT. Thompson; were from the Third Division, Senator Chamberlain, Sena- tor Dimond, the Honorable Joseph H. Murray, pretty Harry I. Staser, slick Frank Foster, and blameless Tom Price; and of course, that "clever'' Senator Fred Aver who voted for "that fish memorial against my bet ter judgment" as he said.
 We understand that Fairbanks is not sending Rep. Reyes back; he of the slow mind, whose favorite ques- tion was "What are We voting for, anyway?"
 So long as you think the world Is upside down, MT. Thompson, why don't you send R. c. Rothenburg down to Juneau as Senator. From all we can learn he is Independent and will do what is right We think that he and MT. Dunn would make fine pair of Senators.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE FIRST
 DIVISION OF ALASKA:

The election to be held Nov ember 4th is different from previous elections in two dis tinct ways.
 One of them is that it is not a choice between a Republican and a Democrat, but a choice of which Alaskan you wish to rep- resent you in the legislature.
 The other is that the Com- mon People or Producers seem to be taking a real interest in the political welfare of their country.
 The foregoing facts lead me to believe that 1 have an ex- cellent chance for election. I do not believe anyone will vote against me because I am on the Democratic Ticket, and my own interests are so closely allied with the prosperity of the pro- ducing class, that I feel sure of getting a great deal of support from them.
 Without going into the issues at this time, but having a con- plete willingness, to answer any questions put to me in a straight forward manner, I be- lieve it is of paramount impor- tance that all Alaskan Bureaus be directly answerable to the people for their conduct. Only in this way can we have represen- tative government. Just as our country was founded on this principle, so will Alaska achieve greatness by applying it.
 1 respectfully solicit your con- sideration of my candidacy.

 Senate, First Division of AL
