Oo Oul pOpuldtlOll WlCQlI1 two years from their removal. Pending their removal I suggest a special license be charged; a mini mum license on the driving and a maximum on catches.
 We have the resources. the as- sets to meet all of our just obliga- t1ons and run our government. There are millions of dollars worth of taxable property in the Terri tory that have escaped taxation l believe in Alaskans for Alaska in all appointive offices in Alaska. l believe that the old pioneers should receive all the comfort that the Territory's limited means can afford We have given our Indians the right to vote yet turn a deaf ear to their appeals and permit them to sit on the beach and Starve.
 CONSTRUCTIVE PLATFORM
 We believe that the Democratic party in Alaska has adopted a constructive platform and are pre- senting candidates pledged to sup port the progressive declarations therein made.
 And now, my friends, in closing these remarks, permit me to say:
 Tn this campaign I have made no attempt to discredit any candi- date for any office. It is true that all cannot win, some must go down to defeat, but if a man makes a clean fight and loses, he may still, as the Chinese express it, keep his face"
 T may say for myself that have no fears where am known. Cir cumstances over which I have no control have made it impossible for me to meet and know all of you who may be listening in on these remarks, but if I am elected to the office of Attorney General. shall know you, and you will know me. l shall make it part of my busi- ness to know the people whom I serve and their needs, throughout this land of magnificent distances, and in so far as am able will help to better conditions.
 My opponents are, perhaps, bet ter known to you than I am. They each have not only told you about themselves, but they have told you about each other, each insisting Strenuously and consistently that the other is not only incompetent but wholly without honor, etc. I am not prepared to say how dis honest or dishonorable either or both may be; however, I do disagree with each of them concerning the ability of each other.
 ALL COMPETENT
 T believe that either of them are competent, so far as legal learning is concerned. to fill the office they seek; I also believe that, while I do not underestimate the arduous tasks the office requires, there are several dozens who could fill it as competently as either MT. Rust gard or MT. Paul, or myself; but as only these three men are on the ticket for the office of Attorney General, you will need to choose from one of the three: MT. Paul, MT. RuStgard or James s. Truitt.
 And further permit me to say that am dedicating these remarks to all who may be listening in, re- gardless of where you may reside in this big land of ours, and espe- cially to the many men and women voters residing along the Alaska Peninsula and on the Aleutian LSl- ands. Read your ballot carefully before you vote. If you vote for me, now assure you that the same will be appreciated, but whether you vote for me or for one of my opponents, be sure that you vote; you owe it to yourself as a citizen and to the country you reside in; and that we may yet live to see the veil that now darkenS Alaska's star pulled back, and Alaska take her place as hte fairest star in the gall axy.
 Wishing you peace, prosperity and happiness.
