MARQUAM WILL
CAIN STRENGTH
IN FOURTH DIV.
Delegate Loses Friends by
Attacks Made in Speech
at Fairbanks.

That r A. Marquam, Independent
candidate fer Delegate to Congress,
has gained rather than lost votes in
the Fairbanks district as result
of Delegate Sutherland's Fairbanks
speech early this week, is the state
ment issued today by Charles w.
Carter Assistant Secretary of the
local Independent Voters League.
This claim is based on kilograms
received from Fairbanks by the
League which predicted that Mr..
Marquam will get 10 per cent of
the vote there.
The nature of the campaign being
waged by Mr.. Marquams opponent,
which includes continuation of
his attacks on the city of Ketchi-
kan and the Bristol Bay district. is
said to have lost him support even
In his own camp and to have defn-
itely aligned for Mr.. Marquam "a
large number of voters who had
been wavering between the two
tickets.
Delegates Tactics
"Or course, the object of the Dele
gates tactics is TO set the Second
and Fourth Divisions against the
First and Third. If he were able to-
stir up friction between them, he
obviously would reap few votes.
said the statement issued here to-
day II he could convince the
voters of Nome and Fairbanks and
other interior towns and villages
that Ketchikan is the most wicked
spot in the world and Bristol Bay
not far behind it in wickedness,
and in addition be able to justify
his own part in proclaiming to-
Congress and the country at large
that this was the case. probably he
Nigh. have made some votes. But
there are too many people in the
interior who know as much if not
more about Ketchikan than the
Delegate does and they know his
attacks on the good name of the
community are not based on facts
to punish his political enemies. And
the fact that ne does not hesitate
to brand the town and its citizens
as vice-ridden, and that he attri-
butes these conditions to the lewd
and lascivious desires of the fisher
men who homeport there, fisher
men who have been his steadfast
supporters in every political cam
paign since 1920, has reacted
against him and gained votes for
Mr.. Marquam," declared the state
ment. -

The Independent candidate IS COW

District Attorney Keyes said the
legal action is TO place before the

of the case which was practically
imperative from the time the story
that Mrs. Mcpherson was found was
broadcast to the country. Since
this time, Keyes said, there has been
the atmosphere of gigantic hoax
surrounding it.
''As time progressed this increased
with the unbelievable story of the

Of Mrs. Mcpherson and her friends
to build up false alibis for her, u
said the District Attorney. 1T is
my duty. | can do no less than
to exert fully the power of my office
and bring this woman before the
bar of justice in order that she may
have a fair public hearing. 1t is
with regret | take the action against
person so high in religious es-
TEEN of many persons, but the
community and upright members Of
all religions will welcome a fair
and open hearing of the situation
which has become nation wide
scandal"
New Witness Found
Harry c. Swift, truck driver, who
claimed to witness the alleged kid
naping of Mrs. Mcpherson, has in
formed District Attorney Keyes that
the persons who kidnapped the
Evangelist on May 10. were her
mother and Ormiston. He withheld
certain facts the first time he told
the story of witnessing the kidnap-
ing and admitted he was working
for the Angelus Temple for a time.
He said he was promised $3.50 and
received $3.50.
Swift said that at the time he
Witnessed ,hp disapDearauce he did
not know the identity of the Evan
geiist. not even the persons who
drove her away. He first told De-
teetive Herman Cline. then went to
Angelus Temple and talked with
Mrs. Kennedy. He recognized her
as one OF the women in the machine
and later identified Ormiston by
published photographs.
Swift said: Mrs. Kennedy cir
culated a statement that | had seen
the kidnapping but would not allow
me to express my belief as to who
the kldrapers were

military next year, II Ia understood
that the President and Mr.. Davis will
discuss the probable cost of removing
the munitions depots that are thought
TO be too near cities, and are consid-
cred q menace TO life and property.
Since the Lake Denmark disaster,
the President and the War Depart
rneft have received any number Of
communication from city officials,
civic bodies and citizens urging the
removal of munition depots located
near their respective cities. The
President ii known to be deeply In

matter of taking precautions
measures to prevent repetition of
the New Jersey disaster.
The President is fully aware OF the
growing demand on the part OF the
public, and he has been represented
as believing some Of these present
hazards can be easily eliminated.
Naturally enough the discussion Of
this subject with SECRETARY Davis
win include an estimate on the prob.
able approximate cost OF removing
the more dangerously located n1il-
milton depots. II is felt here that
the President will back up Secretary
Davis In any step he takes to lessen
the dangers involved from these
depots, and that the next session Of
