Charles Evans Hughes, in urging
the reelection Of Senator James w
Wadsworth, jr.. In a campaign ad-
dress last night told his audience to
vote as you please on the referen
DUN, but don't destroy the Republican
party
Il am well aware that there are
Republicans who oppose the reelec.
ton OF Senator WadsWorth because
of his attitude in relation to the
eighteenth amendment" said Mr..
Hughes. But it should he remem-
bered that there is no issue between
the parties with respect to the pro
vision for the referendum That pro
vision has been made. Nor is there
any issue between the parties as to
the question submitted in the refer.
endum. The line Of division on this
question runs across the parties, not
between them.
THE question between the parties
Is whether you will support a sound
Republican administration in Wash
ington. The question between the
parties is whether YOU will have q
thoroughly trained, we'll equipped Sen
ator Of great influence in the Senate
or a new man whose political princi-
pies YOU do not approve"
Failure to re-elect Senator WadS-
worth" he said, would be a nation
al misfortune and a very unintelli-
gent performance for the people of
the State of New York"
Advocating the election Of Ogden L.
Mills, Republican nominee for gov
ernor. Mr.. Hughes said:
II have always liked the governor.
but l think 1t just as well to give an
other man a chance. 1t would be well
at this time to try a new broom"

RULE OF PARTIES
BY VOTERS URGED
Time to End Control by Of
ficehoIders, President of
Dixie G. OPP. League Says.
BY the Associated Press.

by the AsSOclateu FFess
ATLANTA, Ga, October 27.-The
time has come in both the Republi-
can and Democratic parties to take
control of party nominations, party
platforms and party machinery out
Of the hands of ofIicehOlders and vest
it exclusively in the rank and file,
President Charles u. Gordon Of Green
vile, Miss, asserted here today at the
opening session Of the second annual
convention of the Southern States
Republican League.
He advocated that all public Of
ficials be disqualified from serving
as members of State or national
executive committees and as delegates
to party conventions, declaring it
would provide greater inducement for
the voters to participate actively in
political affairs and make both par
ties more responsive to the will Of the
people.
Sees Growth of Service.
If this rule should be established,
he said, it would have a tendency to
deprive limited few of the control
and domination of party affairs and
would extend the scope of usefulness
and service so that the many might
be called upon to perform the duties
Of citizenship. The effect undoubted-
ly would be to encourage the rank and
file to take a greater interest in pub
lie affairs and the responsibility for
action would then be more evenly di-
vided among all our citizens, he de-
clared.
Pointing out that the aim Of the
league is to educate the youth of the
land to the responsibilities Of citizen
ship. Mr.. Gordon pledged the efforts
of the league to respond to the needs
Of the people of the South, adding:
THE league stands for that prin-
ciple that gives to the people Of each
community the right to a voice In the
selection Of those appointed as their
representatives in public Office, and
we deny the right of those not resid-
ing in a community to exercise any
influence in their appointment"
Welcomed by Governor.
The delegates were welcomed to
Atlanta in addresses by Gov. Clifford
Walker, Mayor Walter A. Sims of
Atlanta and Walter D. Hoffman,
president Of the Atlanta Chamber Of
Commerce.
Tonight the delegates will honor
the memory Of Theodore Roosevelt at
a dinner commemorating his birth
anniversary. Col. Elon H. Hooker,
New York manufacturer and intimate
friend Of the late President, and Col
Henry w. Anderson, Richmond, Va,
who was in charge Of Red Cross OPP
erationS in the Balkan states during
the World War, are to be the princi-
pal speakers.

INDIANS AND PENSIONS

The natives of Alaska perfectly satisfied with the amendment to the Old Age Pension Act and to the Mothers Pension Act by Thomas Jenson of Nome.
 William L. Paul introduced the amendment which struck out the word "white" from the pensions acts and accepted the further amend ment by MT. Jenson, as follows;
 "This Act shall not nure to the benefit of any Indian Eskimo resident of the Territory who is provided for by the Department of the Interior out of the funds of the Treasury of the United States to any ward of the Gov ernment of the United States"
 A number of pensions have been approved by Judge Thomas M. Reed after it was proven that the native applicant not receiving help from the United States government.
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-10-15

The following amendment introduced to the Old Age Pension Act by William L. Paul during the last legislature. The amendment reads as follows;
 If the funds provided by the Legislature should be exhausted, the Territorial Treasurer shall issue warrants to the beneficiary in place of drafts, which warrants shall be an obligation of the Territory of Alaska, payable out of the funds of the Territory made available by an Act of the Legislature"
 Until MT. Paul made this amendment, the ag ed pioneers were left out in the cold whenever the funds were exhausted. Today warrants issued which can be cashed at Banks.

CANDIDATES FOR THE LEGISLATURE
First Division

First Division
 The candidates for the legislature from the First Division are listed elsewhere. They are committed to vote for Home Rule, to protect resident fishermen and home industries. The neople will make no mistake in voting the straight Republican ticket in the First Division.
 Second Division
 This is the Nome Division
 In this Division two men formerly in the House are running for the Senate, Thomas Jen- sen is running on Republican ticket, while Andy Nylen is running as Independent. Jensen is remembered for his speech before the Connmer- cial Club of Juneau, "I will not do anything that will hurt Capital" Nylen is remembered for his speeches and votes in which he said, q am classed as capitalist and an employer of men on account of my mining operations. But human rights are more important than the rights of Capital
 For the House, Richard Sundquist and John Elliott running for reelection. These men made fine record in the last House and should be returned.
 Third Division
 This Division is the key division in Alaska. some now or otner' tne ois 1d1ie'y iAi'eAe'0 always manage to elect their men who serve their interests.
 Tony Dirnond, Democrat, is running for re- election to the Senate. This man should be de- feated. He stands for every thing that is bad and reactionary in politics. He is a cannery lawyer by profession, and is cannery lawyer even in the Senate. He knows his masters voice. He is the most influential enemy the fish errnen of the Third Division have. Labor is al- ways treated unfairly by this smooth spoken lawyer
 Arthur Frame is running for the Senate on the Republican ticket. MT. Frame is committed to sunnor+ the Sutherland Dolicies He has come
