 Dear Sir:
 "Last April, while residing in Southeastern Alaska, I read an article in a Seattle weekly paper, which stated that Marquam would easily carry the Fourth Division against Sutherland in the Novem- Der elections.

THE SIMON GIRTY
 OF ALASKA
By Johnny Walker Troy

The Ketchikan Chronicle very aptly charcterizes MT. Sutherland as representative of the Indians of Southeastern Alaska in Congress
 It points out that MT. Sutherland is at the mercy of William l.. Paul, the Indian chief, and knows it. MT. Sutherland owes his political life to MT. Paul. He could not be nominated for Delegate to Con- gress if MT. Paul would say nay. MT. Sutherland knows that. He would not have a ghost of chance in the general election without the votes of the solid Indian bloc.
 The effect of this situation is to make MT. Sutherland the tool of MT. Paul. When Paul tells MT. Sutherland to invite an invasion of Alaska by the Indians of British Columbia for governing purposes by offering them full American citizen ship, by offering them the oppor- tunity to come over to Alaska and participate in governing the white men, to help make Alaska an Indian reservation governed by Indians, MT. Sutherland must introduce the bill. He dares not offend his Indian boss who has set out to control Alaska by the use of Indian ballots cast under the dictation of the boss.
 MT. Sutherland is the Simon Girty of Alaska. He is a renegade. The only difference is that inc uses the more refined and more effective Indian ballots instead of the crude tomahawks and scalping knives of a century and a half ago.-Juneau Empire.
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-07-15

feeling out the general political feeling enroute.
 "After three weeks of quiet look ing around, and taking into consid- eration Marquams stronghold, Fair banks, do not believe Marquam will carry over thirty per cent of the votes cast in the Fourth Divi- sion. Sutherland will not poll as large vote in the Fourth as usually he does for the simple req son that both Marquam and Suther- land are Fourth Division men, Mar quam's popularity is confined al most entirely to Fairbanks so far as the Fourth Division is concerned. And the fact that Sutherland has a host of supporters there also should not be overlooked. In the mining camps Sutherland will walk away from MarQuam without diff fculty.
 The same article mentioned that undoubtedly the Second Division would also defeat Sutherland, that 1 presume was added as a joke Anyway the remark caused more than one laugh.
 "Lest this may be construed to be view of prejudiced support CT of Sutherland, let me add that l have twice voted against Suther- land in favor of the Democratic candidate, having never voted anything but a straight Democratic ticket. But 1 do not think Suther- lands supporters down in South eastern Alaska should take too seriously some of the articles writ ten down there and in Seattle about how the Fourth Division is going to forget Sutherland this fall.
 Yours truly,
 William N. Growden.
