Democratic Committeeman Says Course of Gardner,
 Scott Disqualify Them

made today, declared that it was of the utmost importance to the progressive people of the First Di- vision that the Democratic Legis- lative ticket be elected next Tues day. The very circumstance, he said, that c. T. Gardner and w. P. Scott made their primary campaigns on a platform demanding the elim- ination of Will Steel and William Paul and Paul's control through a solid bloc of organized Indian vot- CTS who cast their ballots at Pauls dictation, and then turned on the POGO or more voters that gave him the nomination, is evidence that the only way to clear up danger ous situation is to elect Allen Shat tuck to the Senate and Mayor Thomas B. Judson, Frank A. Boyle, A. H. ziegler and E. L. Sampson to the Legislature.
 COnnors Statement
 MT. Connors said.
 Before the primary election Gardner and Scott centered their fight throughout the entire First Division against Steel and Paul Paul's ambition to be the leader of the Republican Party in the Territory and to dominate legisla- ton were advanced as the great reasons why the voters should cast their ballots for them in the pri- mary. Gardner said time after time that if he could beat Paul's man Steel in the primary he would draw lots or shake the dice with Allen Shattuck to decide which of them would retire. He paid MT. Shattuck the highest praise as a man and Legislator, declaring that the one thing in the whole campaign was to eliminate Steel, Paul and their gang. He said that politics don't count in Alaska, but that it was a time when all the progressive men and women must stand together.
 "On that apprently courageous stand. Gardner was nominated over Steel for Senator, and Scott for Representative, receiving more than 2,000 votes that were cast against the Wickersham- -Paul-S te el com bination. They were votes that Gardner and Scott would not have received if it had been believed that they would bend the hinges of the knee before the ul-Wickersham combination.
 Great Inconsistency
 But PauPs one thousand Indian voters, apparently, looked better to Gardner and Scott than the 2,000 progressive citizens who voted for them in the primary. have never seen such inconsistency as has been shown by Gardner and Scott in discarding their primary position and adopting directly contrary position in the election.
 Tt is inconceivable that people who voted for Gardner and Scott in the primary can vote for men who would go back on principles and associates as they have done Gardner and Scott not only com pletely about faced but Gardner has become a veritable Me Too for Paul. It is just too raw.
 "The Wickersham- -Steel-Paul fac ton have been regarded by all pro- gressive citizens as wholly de- structive element, abandoning the progressive people that he pretend ed to stand with during the pri- mary campaign.
 Complete Flop
 Gardner has made such a com plete flop in his position that it might not be out of place for him to let the people know whether or not he has change his mind since he spoke and voted against the Chamber of Commerce resolution prepared by R. E. Robertson, against bill pending in Congress that would give game wardens and oth- CTS authority to search, without 8 warrant, any camp. camp outfit pack or pack animals, wagon or other vehicle, sled or any boat or vessel of the United States when such officer or employee has req sonable cause to believe that such camp, camp outfit, pack or pack animal, automobile, wagon or other vehicle, sled, boat or vessel, has therein or thereon any animals, or birds in violation of the game laws If he has not changed, the peo- ple ought to know it. I do not be- | lieve the people of Alaska want to do any more to encourage stool pigeons.
 Would Be Dictator If Wickersham is elected and the Republicans of the First Divi-
