MARQUAM Gets
BIG GREETING
BY C0RDOvANS
j. ~
Independent Candidate Ad-
dresses Largest Audience
Ever Assembled, Cordova

CORDOVA, Oct 15.-Greeted by
the largest audience that ever as
sembled at this place, Thomas A.
MarQuam, Independent candidate for
Delegate to Congress, opened his
campaign at the Empress Theater
last night. He outlined his legis-
lative program and spoke at length
upon things he hoped to accomplish
If elected, and he declared that he
would be elected.
Mr.. Marquam answered the sour
rilous personal attacks that have
been made on him and poured CON
vincing indictments of Delegate
Sutherland, producing documentary
evidence to prove every charge he
made, for the adverse publicity that
Alaska has received during the last
year.
X. G. Robinson presided at the
meeting with dozen representative
citizens occupying seats on the
stage.
After the meeting Mr.. Marquam
was given public reception at the
American Legion Hall where he was
personally greeted by hundreds of
Cordova citizens.
Upon the arrival of the candidates
here he was met by committee of
forty among whom were many wo-
men.
II is conceded by all classes that
the candidate made many votes in
this place by his speech and through
his meeting with the people.
In Copper River Valley
Mr.. Marquam speaks at Mccarthy
tonight and at Kennecott and Chitina
tomorrow He will leave Cordova
for Juneau Monday.

Anathema to Buschmar,n

When Judge James Wickersham
reniged on his charge against the
"Burckhardt interests" to the effect
that their business in juneau was
limited to a cake of yeast weekly
during the fishing season and laid
the same charge against August
Buschmann, or the "Buschmann can
,neries" as he phrased it, he made
one Of the most ludicrous blunders
of his entire political career. There
might have been some people who
would have credited that charge
against the Burckhardts but no one
with any knowledge OF cannery oper-
ators will believe it of Mr.. Busch
mann.
The latter is one of the most popu-
lar camery owners and operators in

the things which have made the last

not destroy religion: it gives Us

now it is inductive. On the intelec.
tual side there is a constant chal-

live on the line of discovery"
The second division of Bishop
Anderson's subject related to mora
and spiritual achievement. Thels
are realms there also to conquer. One
should cut out the little and mean
in our lives, so that the highest anl
best may find expression. Mans qua
nature finds expression. We shoua
cultivate the fine and spiritual tmnss
