 Treasurer Smith always fought the making of his office elective. He did not wish to be subject to the judgment of the voters. Tn fact he has always insisted that he would never be candidate for elective office. He knew from long experience that he could serve one master at a time. But he has shied from having to be fair and consider ate to all elements.
 When it was a question of placing Territorial funds where his master would be pleased, the appointment of clerks or incom- petents as bank examiners, the naming of tax collectors who of times didn't care to exert them selves in the proper collection of taxes, the taking of funds to pay expenditures for which there was no appropriation, etc.. Smith could be relied upon to do the bidding of a master.
 Those whose personal interests have been we'll served, will tell you that Treasurer Smith has been a good official. If they were candid, they might also admit that the gentleman has been in tn position long enough. And many Republicans believe that they have an efficient and we'll balanced man to take over the duties of the office, in Frank L. Knight, of Anchorage. He has studied and performed banking requirements and has good ex- ccutive ability. And it is the lat ter that really counts.
 In many respects where Treasurer Smith has had to rely upon his own judgment, he has been arbitrary, disobliging and hard to deal with. But only the few know that, for the many do not come in touch with him. Servile to his masters but arro- gant to the public, is the way the Treasurer might be desig- mated. Sherman Duggan, of Ketchikan, and formerly U. s. Attorney for the Third Division, has just issued a bulletin, in which he pays his respects to Treasurer Smith, as follows:
 Smith and Banks
 When MT. Rasmussen and his associates desired to organize . Territorial Bank in Ketchlkan, I am informed that Walstein y. Smith refused them a charter. saying there were banks enon, n in Ketchikan, although at that time there was but one. Tie company then was forced to double their capitalization and organize National Bank, wn'th they did. MT. Smith fought th,s at Washington, but they are nov here and have a million dollars deposits. Think of Territorial official forcing Alaskans to cr- ganize National Banks when the law gives them a right to 1errt- tOrial charters. An Alaskan of f1cial CD.
 Walstein G. Smith is a candi- date for Treasurer of the Terri. tory. He has held office eight cen years, but never elected be- fore. When members of the 4ln;- erican Federation of Labor ar.d their friends of Anchorage de- sired to organize a Territo.Tai Bank, Smith refused them a charter, saying there were banks there, which was beyollc. his authority. They were fore. ed to double their capital fr,.r S25, ,OO0 to $5O,OOO and apply for } National Bank charter. At hat time there were two other
