strongest things I ever read. and instead of calling up his side he brings in someone against him. believe you would have gotten what you were after if he had acted diff ferently.
 don't know whether I will be elected to Congress or not. After it has failed once it Is hard to get. but do believe without a doubt if am elected. and with the witnesses I am able to get. may get that thing through for you. At any rate I will go so far as to promise to try it. and if I fail will not try to get witnesses to knock it.
 They say that nearly everyone in Congress Is lawyer. Some of them are good lawyers. although I bet they are not half as good as am. and Dan did not show himself a good lawyer when he tried his case with witnesses against him. would like to have the average man take and read this record and tell me which side of the proposi- tion Dan himself was on, since he did not say anything in favor of it. Now. ladies and gentlemen, I want to tell you something more about the issues of this campaign. You have heard lot of talk about bureaus. Is there anybody here in favor of bureaucratic government! :! Now this industry was talking about. this fishing industry. is run by bureau. It is an extreme ex- ample of the evils of bureaucratic government. You have read "The Fisherman" gotten out by William Paul and you have heard his talk about bureaus. They point to the Banking Board and find that it is bureau; they point to the Dental Board and find that 1t is a bureau; they point to the Pioneers Home and that is one of the iniquitous bureaus. Bureaus are created by your legislature to do the things i passed by your legislature and tm- posed On them. and he tried to hodwink the people of Alaska into thinking that is what is meant by the bureaucratic government. They do not say anything about the bu- reaucratic government that exists in Alaska and there are thirty or forty bureaus in Alaska that are Federal Bureaus and they control your industries. and when the Democrats talk about bureaus, we are talking about those kinds of bureaus. For instance, the Alaska Game Commission and Fisheries. The man who represents the fish cries in Alaska and has had charge Of the rules and regulations con- trolling the fisheries since the White Bill was passed in 1924, with the assistance of MT. Suther. land. was O'Malley.
 O'Malley has the power down in Aetchikan. or anywhere else in AL aska. to stop all salmon fishing in one hours notice or less. He can close any area in the waters of Al. aska by his order-not by legisia: tfon. but by his 6fder. Last year he did so. It did not look to him that the fish were running as fast as they should. so O'Malley issued an order. after the canner;es had invested s10O,O0O.OOO and afte, the independent men had put in their few thousand dollars. and af. ter the men had equipped them. selves for the seasons seining under this poor control of your fisheries O'Malley issued an ORDER and said STOP all fishing in South. eastern Alaska. and it STOPPED and practically broke the commun. ity.
 The fisheries of Alaska ara in the hands of man (some people claim he is corrupt, do not). |, IS in the hands of a man whc tnlnks more of fish than he does of fisherman. The remedy is te turn the fisheries over to the Leg stature and have it regulate b, law instead of by man. I beliey. l tudt whether man is in a corno
