 Tn summing up this phase of his talk, Judge Harding said he bore no malice toward those who had charged that he was not an Alaskan. He said it was legitimate political argument before his confirmation by the Senate, but he said, it is cold cinder now" He declared that he had become an Alaskan by adOptiOn-the only way one not born here could do so. He said he would never have come to Alaska if he had not liked the Territory and the people that live in it. He declared that he will take the oath of office as Judge of the District Court as an Alaskan and perform the duties of the office as one.

 And who is Frame? Let Nor rissey answer The Chronicle called Frame a "disreputable dead-beat," a character assas- sin,' libeler, grafter, and many other affectionate names. (FOr further description of Frame see back numbers of the Chronicle published before MOr- rissey and Frame went together.
 Is Morrissey rig ht about Frame? or is Frame right about Morrissey? Or are they BOTH right about each other?
 Frame is the man who was elected National Committeeman in 1924 (When Ex-Governor Bone called him the "unspeak- able John Frame).

Who is Edward G. MOrrissey?

The Chronicle is a journalistic hypOcrite, without morals, character, reputation, honor, or decency. It always opposes the welfare of Alas kans. It is always wrong. It's opposition is a boost.
 And Morrissey personally? Let John Frame, Morrissey's side-kick answer! Before Mor- rissey began furnishing Frame the paper and ink for his Daily Bulletin John Frame called Morrissey a journalistic black mailer, an embezzler of lodge funds, a grafter, a tool of the canning interests.

canoe when he found it floating
down the river near Canal and New
Cut Roads Northwest.
The weather-beaten old man had
admired Cunningham for his rare
his other good points. He would
have laughed in the face OF any
man who had told him more than
week ago that he soon would be
told of the drowning OF his friend.
Cunningham drowned last Satur-
day night after a canoe In which
he was riding with two friends up
set as they attempted to shoot the
rapids" a haIf-mile or so below the
Chain Bridge.
Laughs at Friends
Always a good-humored individual,
Cunningham was laughing at the
plight of his friends when last seen
alive. They swan ashore without
making an effort to aid him, as he
was known as the best swimmer of
the group.
On reaching shore, the other
students, Willard Burkett and
Charles Davlin, climbed into another
canoe and went with w. w. Stevens
to look for Cunningham. The canoe
from which he had been plunged
into the stream was found, but
Cunningham was missing.

Cunningham was believed to have
been pulled under water by a whlrl-
pool or to have suffered a sudden
attack of cramps. His home was
in Portland, Ind.
