 Position Leaving No Doubt In Minds of Voters Any Question

dent Taft; of his securing of the Alaska Railroad; his fight against the infamous Alexander bill which besides giving perpet- ual title to trap sites was intend ed to negate the autonomous provisions of the Organic Act. He told of his fight against the bill in the face of unanimous committee report and how by parliamentary tactics alone, he defeated the bill Singlehanded.
 He described the trapleasing bill which he proposed in Con- gress in this same battle against the Alexander bill and stated that as a lawyer he had been em- ployed to bring peace between warning factions of trap men; had drawn up the bill printed in The Alaska Fisherman in 1928 and had been paid for his servic- es at a time when he was not a candidate for office. Was con- demned for this while his oppon- ent who also served the canner- ies was not blamed for being sc employed.

 :. Touching on the political du-
 ties of every citizen he urged lthat everyone get out and vote regardless of their affiliations. The kind of men who are elected are the kind of men we want and the government they give us is the kind we want. Politicians are what you make them, as are your administrative and execu-
 tive and judicial officers" :" If you
 have the wrong men in office the fault is yours" he declared.
 He urged that it was not prac-
 tical politics to elect a man on 1 2 certain platform and negate
 his efforts by election of men of
 opposite views.

On Wednesday evening at the .MacGregor Theatre gathered one of the largest audience in Petersburg, to listen to to any campaigner in Territorial af- fairs. Hardly a seat was empty and none left during the two hours and ten minutes taken to present the issues of this cam paign. The Judge has lost none of his skill as a logician or any of his ability to hold the atten- tion of his audience. And the general expression was that he made many friends by his clean cut, impersonal, non-mudSling- ing discouT1e. It the same time, in a friendly fashion he reduced all of his opponents charges and platform to a ridiculous absurd ity. .. Mayor Earl N. Dinner as mas ter of ceremonies presented MT. Peter Sommer, Petersburg can didate, Auditor Cash Cole and William L. Paul as men who were all so well and favorably known in Petersburg that they leally needed no introduction. Turning to Judge WickerSham, he introduced the Judge to the company present as one whose work and efforts made him known to the people of Peters burg far better than any intro duction.
 Taking the floor in a reminiS- cient mood, the Judge described the wilderness of Petersburg 30 years ago when he first came to the Territory and compared it with the most successful fish town in Alaska today" with all it's modern homes, shops and equipment. He followed along to describe the same develop ment through the whole Terri tory.
 Going back twenty years, he
 read his first campaign pledges
 to Alaskans and reminded them
 that he had kept the faith with

N YEw YORK, December 2O.-Max
M Baer, the curly-headed wolf
Y from the Coast, looked out
through one good eye upon the
boxing world today and saw plenty
there to widen his normal grin of salts
faction. A youngster just up from the
ranks-and a beaten fighter at that
he stood for a day at least with the
fistic world at his feet
Metropolitan fight writers to a man
welcomed him as one of the finest
young heavyweight prospects of a dec
ade, despite the walloping he took in
Madison Square Garden last night from
the more experienced, better conditioned
Ernie Schaaf of Boston. They agreed
he was overmatched, perhaps poorly
trained, and not quite ready yet to
tackle strong, cagey, plodding warriors
of the Schaaf type.
But they sang his praises as q
puncher, a colorful, courageous young
ster, and a figure to be carefully
watched by the topnotchers who will
have to ward off the logical contenders
of the next year or two.
Wants Another Chance.
Baer kept to his quarters today, nurs-
ing split lips, bruised nose and q
left eye as tightly closed as a padlocked
speakeaSy. There was a sunSet-colored
bulb where his left eyebrow used to be
and the staggering good looks he
brought East from California were more
or less scrambled. He was perfectly
content, however, with the situation in
general.

get another chance at him." he said

Kline, Michelet
Now Grid Rivals

THE traditional gridiron rivalry
L between Cornell and Dart
mouth should prove of more than
usual interest locally when they
meet on the field of battle next
season, due to the likelihood it will
find two Washington lads opposing
one another after several years
spent as team mates.
Phil Kline and Bob Michelet
were members of the Central High
squad in 1927 and the following two
years performed valiantly in the
backfield and at end, respectively,
for Mercersburg. This Fall, Kline
matriculated at Cornell. where he
was made captain of the freshman
team. while Michelet attained SINH
lar honors with the Dartmouth
Frosh. They are now spending
the holidays together here, chums
as ever, but friendship between
these potential sophomore stars will
cease when the foot ball forces of
Ithaca and Hanover clash on a
certain November afternoon next
Fall.
