 ADDRESS
(Continued from Page Four)

in the case with respect to lode and placer claims, with such re- strictive clauses as will effectively prevent monopoly Of course mon- opoly is abhorrent to every princi- pie of a Democratic government and no one resents monopoly more than Alaskans, and it would be easy very easy, to provide law whereby the locator of an oil claim would have the same kind of right and title to it that he now has to a lode or placer claim and yet by other provisions of the law absolutely prevent any monopolistic control of the oil lands of Alaska. The same sort of law could easily be provided with respect to the coal lands. I am unalterably opposed to the present false conservation system whereby no title can be obtained to coal and oil lands. The whole theory of this raise conservation is wrong. Judge WicKersham, more than any other Alaskan, is respon sible for the imposition of this so-called conservation of coal and oil lands in Alaska. He was in Congress when MT. Pinchot per suaded the then President Roose welt that all coal and oil lands should be withdrawn. If elected as your delegate, I shall at least try to to the best of my ability to see that the coal and oil lands are open to location and patent by the claimants. with effective provisions of the law to prevent any monopolistic control.
 Summation
 To sum up briefly then,-If you favor Territorial control If the fisheries. fur and game, vote for me. If you favor the present condition of affairs. bureaucratic control from Washington, vote for Judge Wickersham. If you are op- posed to tolls on the highways of Alaska, vote for me. If you want to pay the tolls, vote for Judge Wickersham, because if he is el- ected, you will surely have to pay them. If you are opposed to the present high rates on the Alaska Railroad, vote for me. If you ia vor such high rates. vote for Judge Wickersham. If you are in favor of seeing the Alaska College expand, vote for me. If you want to see it stand still, or shrink. vote for Judge Wickersham. If you want an absentee Delegate who will go away from Washington when ever he feels like it. vote for Judge Wickersham. If you want somebody who will stay on the job and attend to it. vote for me. If you want a Delegate who will place a member of his family on the Federal payroll as one of his secretaries. vote for Judge Wick ersham. If yon want Delegate who vii confine himself to his own salary vote for me. After all when I say "Vote for me-, mean to say. Vote the Democratic tick et", because we stand together.
 May suggest to you that this is going to be Democratic year, and that, judging by all the pres ent signs, we shall have Demo- cratic President and a Democratic administration? Is 1t necessary to tell you how much better you will be situated it you have. under these circumstances. a Delegate who belongs to the party of the administration and who will have the confidence and sympathy of the highest officials of the land? And I further suggest to you that even if Mir. Hoover should be re- elected, you will be infinitely bet ter of by having as your Delegate, as your agent, as your attorney, a man who will work at his job. who will really represent the pee pie of Alaska, and whose views i;. be tn harmony with yorr vi ws and your desires.
 A Recommendation
 I have here something that will surprise you, and it may at the same time amuse you. It is re commendation, a recommendation of myself, by man who is very prominent and who has been very prominent in the public life of the territory. This recommendation of Tony Dimond is embraced in sneerh that was made at Juneau, in October. 1890. You will recall that George Grigsby was then Dem ocratic candidate for Delegate to Congress. contesting the election of Judge Wickersham. In this election contest a speech was made at Jun can in which my name was highly nraised. Let me read to you from the issue of the Juneau Empire of October 31. 1880, what was said. Here it is:
 of MT. Grigsby should be elect ed he will do nothing for the Territory of Alaska. He entry to x,. Domocratic Primary was not
