Regions Shaken Again Today.

ANCONA. Italy, Nov. 1st, (P}-- This region was shaken again to- day by quakes. almost 24 hours after the first tremors which took a number of lives and did much property damage. However, the damage was less today. bricks fell from buildings on every street here. The city of Senigallia is guarded by blackshirts and Cara biniers with fixed bayonets who fir ed several shots at suspected resi- dents who it was thought were en- saged in pillfering. Rescuers were equipped with a white arm to iden- tify them from bandits.
 Many streets are filled by a tor rent of water which broke from the main section caused by the quakes. Bathing huts were brot from nearby beaches for sleeping houses. Many houses lost their en- tire fronts while other buildings in several villages which were in the midst of the stricken area, were untouched. although the quake rocked the districts on all sides.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE
 SECOND DIVISION

would even return to our shores prior to representing you again iu 1853? This division has often sent to the Territorial Legislature men who had no interests here, and many of them failed to re- turn to assist you in your efforts to build greater Alaska. It comes with poor grace from one who has been on the federal pay roll for the past seventeen years to charge me with federal influence. It does not speak wei. for him or his ability if after a. these years. when on the eve of lrtiring with a pension, he is still vii Iout influence. Mir Anderson, in burst of Fourth of July oratory, appeals to you as free and ind pendent people, Ora of th reaS nS for our being a free and independent people is that our forefathers would not tolerate taxation without re- presentation Do We today as a f free and independent people toler- ate representation without tax ation? Mir Anderson aspires to represent you in distrbutins Territorial funds which constitute taxes you have paid. What has he contributed?
 I admit that I am a member of the Lomen Reindeer Corporation. which company is charged with be- ing "reindeer rustlers" This charge is too silly to contradict. If any body believes that I am guilty of reindeer rustling, | do not expect
 his vote. Our company is the
 largest tax payer in Nome. Our pay roll, which k in excess of
 S20o. o.o00.co per annum, is distri- buted over the entire division. and i this money remains in the country, as we employ loc@l labor, both
 white and native.
 wish to further call your at tentfon to an anonymous circular recently appearing on the street,
 which attacks most of the candi- dates on the Republican ticket. The authors do not see fit to sign their names Were they afraid of being known as slanderers, were they ashamed of their own offspring or did they fear criminal libel pro- ceedings? Their ignorance must be stupendous and their conceit great, to assume that the voters are so gulliblp as to be influenced by such coWardly. unsigned article Maskans love clean fight and do not stand for striking below the belt; they want fair play. They do not countenance the sneak ing killers who lie in hiding and shoot from ambush. The gangsters of Chicago are gentlemen in com parison with the sinking, under handed character-assassins who wrote this pamphlet.
 If elected, I will work studiously and earnestly for the best inter- est of the Second Division, and for the prosperity of the Territory.
 Thanking you for your support. Yours very truly,

GREETINGS:

since my opponent, Mir. J. H,
 Anderson has taken the liberty
 of using my name in his letters to the voters and on his cards, I feel called upon, in justice to
 myself and for your considera- tion, to reciprocate, as you are
 also entitled to my views, though I had not intended to mention his name or to draw any comparisons during the campaign.
 Due to the stress of business this fall I have been unable to devote my time to promoting the interests either of those associat ed with me
 on the Republican ticket, or of my
 avn candidacy in +ha coming elee ton, November 4th. However. l do not feel that this is a handicap. for the entire personnel of our ticket is too well known to require
 any last minute lntroductions: the
 voters of this division do their own , thinking and are not to be intluenc- ed by the eleventh-hour handshake.
 My opponent is indeed fiattering
 when he admits that l have 'in- terests in most every line. of busi- ness within the Division" and "com- mercial. industrial and unquestion-
 ably federal control' While l am too modest to claim all this. I do
 believe. that a man without iu- fluence at home could not success
 fully represent you as your senator

 composed of influential men from
 ali divisions, If, as charged, l Ihaye interest in almost every@ line of business within the Division. his should be an incentive to me to secure constructive Legislation

No witness is allowed to file
briefs.
The dry leaders filed briefs be-
fore the House committee and did
not take the stand. where they

with attacks on Mrs. McCormick's
