are bound to nobody. are under obi-
cations to no one and will play no
favorites if we are elected" he de-
clared, speaking for himself and his
associates. n. o. Hardy, Ed. Locken,
A. E. Gurr and L. II. Kubley candi-
dates for representatives
Mr. Shattuck was introduced by
Henry Roden, Chairman, who charac.
terized him as man who, in his
long residence in Juneau, had been
identified with every worthy public
movement. who was always ready to
put his shoulder to the wheel and
bear his part of the burdens of the
community; who was known far and
wide for his efforts to promote the
welfare of the community; who had
invested his money in Juneau prop
erty; educated his family here AMI
whose entire interests were in Ju-
neau and Alaska
Draws Comparison
Mr. Roden drew a striking com
parison between Mr.. Shattuck and
his opponent, w. A. Steel, on the
Paul ticket The latter. he asserted,
has no home in Alaska no business
interests in the Territory, no fam
lily and no ties in it, and a man who
in the past three years has spent but
few days in Alaska. He also referred
to Messrs. Hardy, Gurr, kubley and
Lcoken in the highest terms. The
first three needed no endorsement
from him. he said, as they were al
ready well known TO Juneau voters.
Mr.. Locken is the same type of
citizen as Mr.. Shattuck, he added.
He has served three terms as Mayor
of Petersburg and is now serving
fourth term. He has been active in
all public affairs there. has invested
his savings in Petersburg property
and is rearing and educating his
family there.
Opposition Ticket Hand-Picked
The opposition ticket, Mr.. Shattuck
declared in opening his talk, Is hand
picked, selected by w. l.. Paul and
nominated as Republicans by virtue
of the Indian political organization
Of which he is dictator. Paul. he
said, is fundamentally wrong in his
policies of Government. He is "A
radical of the destructive type rather
than being constructive progress
i've He is always looking for some
thing about which he may complain.
He graphically illustrated his
charge that Paul had dominated the
Republican primary by citing his
knitting of Judge II. B. LeFevre and
Mrs Jetta Gray last April. Paul
knew he couldn't dominate Judge Le-
Fevre. "He was looking for some
one who could get out such letters
as have been recently circulated in
the Delegate race" he asserted, add
ing that it is the reason he picked
Steel. The paper on which Steel
worked failed in 1923 and he has
not turned a finger in the Territory
to earn his lvlhood since that time.
OF this man is elected 1t will be
because of the vote which Paul has
in his control)
Threat Against Pioneers
After calling attention to PauPs
legislative career in 1925. Mr.. Shat
tuck denounced the Indian effort to
break down the Territorial pension
bars and force their way into the
Pioneers Home He recalled Pauis
def to the 1925 Legislature over
pensions which, he observed, had
failed of its purpose.
He told of present conditions at
the Pioneers Home which is filled
to capacity He assigned a number
of reasons why Indians should not
be admitted to it. First, he said,
there was no room there for them;
second. il there were, the white in
mates would leave it, third, the Ter
ritory cannot afford to assume the
financial obligations such policy
would involve; fourth, the Federal
government is spending on Indian
welfare and educational work every
year sum virtually equal to the
entire territorial revenues. For the
Territory to undertake payment Of
pensions to Indians, he added. would
