The Nome nugget., 1928-10-06

Q to do all could for Alaska, there
 was q fellow by the name of Wick ersham trying to pull me out of my seat. and at last he did 2 | me out on the 2nd of March. and after had discovered that I never had been Delegate to Congress, months without being Delegate to Congress I did pretty well.
 i There are routine matters down there that any delegate is going to | attend to, provided he has not made too many enemies; won too many fights The man of average i those routine matters as well as any other man of ordinary ability l know that a man who is a fighter appeals to the people. Wicker sham was known as Fighting Jim. Dan is Fighting Dan" i He told in Anchorage how he lick VN thN .1t'si'td4 oi NplllH f1t' told in Fairbanks how he licked the Secretary of Commerce. and after a while the Retuhlican Party took pity oh the Secretary of Com meree and nominated him for President of the United States.
 am very proud to be running ;oI- ,;tI Al Smith and never heard anyone question his integrity, and after the eight years the Republicans have just had I cannot believe that they have looked around for crook to run for President. and if I should be so fortunate as to be elected. and if Governor Smith should fail to be elected as Presi- dent, l would not go down there and act as if the President of the United States had ever been crook
 If Dan Sutherland knew what he | was talking about when he talked dpout tue toEIupLIoL ana SfdIt or MT. Hoover. he is not doing his duty now not to go out and cam paign against him. If he knew so much about Hoover's record in Russia and other parts of the world. he should go out and tell the world what they are np against Now there are lots of little things as l said before which are routine matters. Public business. radio. harbors. and other things that one | delegate could do as well as an | other unless he has made too many | enemies by winning too many fights. 1 Who is the best man to get radio communication up at Teller. or at Candle or harbor improvements al Meme?
 ! am not backed hv anybody who can start me out on this campaign. 1 These is no money back of me ex- cept what l have collected from men at ketchikan. seward. Fair banks and Nome. You haven't any more than I have. Did I ever have any money? ask you people to look at these questions intelligent ly.
 l am going to carry all the big towns in the Territory. l am going to carry Juneau. ketehikan, Sew ard, Fairbanks and Nome. and | will do it on the merits of this cam paign because I am telling you peo- pie the truth. am not trying to betuddle you or hoodwink you about
 home rule bills. Bunk, You all know me in Nome was here eight years as U, s. Attorney Was I eyer anybodys tool? Did any body ever accuse me of any kind of crookedness in business life
 When I was elected as Attorney General I went down to Juneau a
 poor sucker from Nome who had never been anywhere. Ham and eggs cost 35 cents. There was s40,000.0O in the Territorial Treas ury and there was over $5O0,0O0. % delinquent taxes from the canner-
 ies. MT. Cobb had agreed that they
 need not pay their taxes. I noti-
 fled these people that they had to come through. and no good looking
 woman with a pitcher of whiskey
