iNuAoIoJ lkuOy' " ASS man, Circle, and in the Eagle re- gions, at Livengood and other places in the Fourth Division. For tunately, I can still find time to visit Nenana and Healy and all of the points south along the AL aska Railroad.
 Old Friendship
 Judge Wickersham in his speech referred to Mir. Dunkle as having some connection with the Kenne- colt Copper Corporation a good many years ago. and at the pre- sent time. and for several years past he has done and is doing a work that is infinitely more val uable to the Territory of Alaska than any work now being done by either Judge Wickersham or myself, for he is actually develop ing real mine in the Willow Greek District. There are now em- ployed at the mine some eighty or ninety men MT Dunkle took this property when it was simply a hole in the ground and he has made d successful mine of it. He has furnished employment and made it possible for these men and their families 10 live in the Territory of Alaska, and as d re suit of his efforts and his skill and knowledge, the whole Willow Creek district is being developed to an extent not before thought possible. So when l talked to my friends about visiting all parts of A oln l. le, who had just completed a cour- SC in flying and who had bought a small and comparatively cheap ship for his own use, remember ing our old friendship. very gen erous1y said that I could use his ship for a price that would just about cover oil and gas. the wag- es of a pilot, and reasonable amount of depreciation. And so, as far as I went, I travelled over Alaska at less expense than could have travelled in any other | fashion, and that expense l am paying myself out of my own funds and not out of contributions re ceived from any corporation, nor the Guggenheims, nor any other company. nor any officer or stock holder in any corporation Or con- pany. The Kennecott Copper Cor poratlon is not paying any part of my expenses. and Mir. Dunkie 70 the best of my knowledge and belief. doesn't 1epresent the cor poration in any fashion and has not represented it for many years The mine of which he Is now manager is not owned or control led by the socalled Guggenheims In fact, I believe the ownership lies principally in people who re- side in Toronto, Canada, So much for that. Every statement and ev- cry inference made by Judge Wick trip over Alaska by airplane, ex- cept that I did make such a triI or was making such trip, and that the plane was owned by MT Dunkle. is untrue.
 Explains Law
 Judge Wickersham is further very much concerned about the amount of money I am spending in the campaign and he said ir his Fairbanks speech, the follow ing: "The law provides that 8 Delegate cannot eXpend to exceed S2,500.OO in his campaign. The law says he cannot spend more than that" Judge Wickershan did not speak the truth there The law doesn't say any sucl didate for Delegate cannot ex pend to exceed S250O.00 in hi campaign, but that this limit does not include his personal travel ing expenses and cost of subsist ance It does not include expenses for stationery, postage, writing or printing (other than for us, on bill boards or in newspapers) for distributing letters, circulars or posters, or for telegraphic ol telephone service So you see tha contrary to the statement mad by Judge Wickersham. my person al travelling and subsistence ex pense and my expense in the cam paign for postage, telegrams. etc. are not included in the s250( limit at all, and Judge Wicker sham knew that perfectly wei when he made his speech at Fair banks. However. am happy t' say that my total expenses il this campaign, for all purposes will not reach the sum of $250t for simply have not got tha much to spend. Judge Wickershan intimated in his Fairbanks speecl that I would either fail to mak' any report of my expenses at all or that I would make false re port and swear to 1t, or would otherwise violate the corrupt pract ices act. He was very cunning ant
