Democrat George Grigsby is running around the Territory charging that Republican Judge Wickersham received $8,000 and Republican William L. Paul re- ceived $6,000 for drafting the trap leasehold bill and thereby betraying the confidence of the fishermen who voted to elect them to office as Delegate to Congress and to the Territorial legislature, respectively.
 Judge Wickersham has ex- plained satisfactorily to the public his part in drafting the bill which was published in The Alaska Fisherman, January 1928 along with his explanatory let ter in which he asks the public to give an expression on the sub ject. Where was George GrigSby or his cohorts at this time that they did not state their objec- tions Certainly they knew that it was published and that it would be presented to Congress for consideration Why was the proposed bill alright at that time and all wrong when cleo tions came around? Was it be- cause the canneries had contri- buted too largely to the cam paign of the Democratic candi- dates in 1928 thereby closing their mouths to any objections and later it meets with opposi- tiOn because the canners refuse to be so generous? What is there wrong about that proposed leaSehOld bill? Why IS GrlgSDy so quiet about the terms of the bill and why does he only raise a wrathy voice in generalities? Dare he take the bill paragraph by paragraph? He dares not for it will belle his vociferous ob- iections and show that he is without honor in making allega- tions of betrayal against Judge WickerSham and William Paul. We herewith reprint Judge Wickersham's letter and the proposed leasehold bill and ask 1 the serious consideration of this by every voter:

the new Rules and Regulations
 of December 12, 1927, make a
 step in the right direction, and recognize for the first time the rights of the resident Alaska ' fishermen.
 There is still, however, the fight between the trap owners. Those who have lost trap sites are said to be planning to jump some of the best sites remain ing by getting on the ground first. The War Department has issued Rules and Regulations to remedy the situation brought about by Judge Reeds decision that the first man on the ground will hold it, though what au- thority the War Department has over the fisheries in Alaska is not understood. The trap men contend that so long as their business is recognized as legal by the law, they ought to be entitl- ed to protection from other trap men. The whole matter has now resolved itself into a scrap be- tween the trap men. The only interest left for the public in the matter is to protect the trap sites so that no private title can be obtained by any of the trap men to these advantageous fish ing stations. It is to the public interest that there shall be no private title acquired by any trap owner to the sites which cannot be shaken off promptly if ne- cessary to protect the fisheries from destruction.
 It would be far better if the Territorial Legislature had con- trol of the situation, but it has not. The trap sites are a mo mans land" between the con- tending trap men, and the strongest of them controls. FOR Ithe preservation of the public right, to prevent private title, to preserve order between the war ring trap men, to compel them to pay license fee and to re- cognize the rights of the public, it is necessary to amend the law to that extent.
 Tn view of this chaotic situa- tion and at the suggestion of the friends of the Alaskan fish cries, the following draft of a tentative bill has been prepared and is sent you herewith with the request that it be printed in your paper for general in formation. If the reader has any suggestion either in opposition to the general idea in the pro- posed bill as a whole, or ot
 amendment which will better
 protect the public interest in
 Alaska fisheries, let them be
 heard, so the suggested bill may
 be further amended to protect

Republicans Present
 Issues To Local Voters

The Republican political meet ing which was held in the Coli scum last Friday evening was at tended by a serious minded body of voters who listened attentive ly to the political issues and qualifications of the candidates.
 The speakers and members of the party were introduced by MT. Carl Swanson. c. T. Gardner gave brief biography of each candidate before proceeding to his spech in which he defended his candidacy as senator. Every nominee elected last primary has sworn on his oath to support the ticket and is in honor bound 10 do so" he declared. He touch cd upon the school question and declared that he would work to secure adequate appropriation to secure a competent survey of the schools to make it co-equal with the standardized school systems of the States and would do his best to make the work of the head of the system non political. He went into the timber situation and point out the danger which confronts the saWmill and loggers of Alaska and promised to use his effort to give industry a square deal and at the same time put the in dustry on a sound financial basis.
 William L. Paul, candidate for representative pointed out the inconsistencies of Tom Gaffney who calls himself friend of la Dor" and showed by the records that Gaffney opposed every mea- sure of relief for the laboring class. He took several bills re- lative to the fisheries and show ed that Gaffney, by record, op- posed these measures. He point ed out that his efforts in the le- gislature and in private life has been constantly honorable and has been of benefit to every class of labor and business and he asked the voters to vote for him Gil his record.
 Judge Wickersham was the last speaker and he compared his own record with that of George Grigsby in Congress. He pointed out to the fact that the discrimination made possible by section 27 of the Jones Marine Act was made possible by Grigs- by'S failure GO raise his voice in protest. Therefore the citizen of Alaska are penalized several million dollars to the benefit of Seattle. He admitted writing the trap leasehold bill, as an attor- ney but as a delegate to Con- gresS he was bound by law not to introduce the measure and he would not do so. But that the proposed bill is a good bill and should have been passed. He then pointed to the fact that Grigsby, who by his silence per- mitted the Jones Marine Act to discriminate against Alaska, upon returning to private life was made the attorney for the Alaska Steamship Company. A reward for his faithful services in Congress.
 He promised to work in Con- gress if elected in the future as he has done in the past, faith

Cotton Opened Barely
 Steady. Reports Show

New York, April 2S P-Cotton opened barely steady today un- changed to a decline of points. There was further scattering May liquidation and probably some sell ing of new crop months on reports of rains over Sunday in the south west but the offerings were light and the market soon turned stead fer in sympathy with the steadier Liverpool cables. May sold up to 1908 and the new October contract to 14.S1 by the end of the first half hour, making net advances of about to 9 points on the general list. The demand was not active but there was some trade buying of old crop positions and a little buying for Liverpool account, while contracts seemed comparatively scarce after the early offerings had been ab- sorbed.
 Liverpool cables said that conti- mental buying and trade calling had absorbed local liquidation in that market, but reported that order lists of cotton manufacturers were running down and that business with India was restricted.

 Liquidation Continued

Central States Elec- tric and Brazilian Traction dropped about 2 points, and Duke Power, normally a wide mover, tumbled l points. Electric Bond and Share sagged moderately.
