trol of that railroad from the forces that are controlled by Tony and Tom!
 Now, have talked to you for stme time and l just want to say a few moro words and then I will be through.
 The election for a delegate to Congress will take place this fall. was nominated in the Republi- can primaries. I want to say few words about some of the oth- CT candidates on the Republican ticket John Rustgard was nomin- ated by majority of the vote [ for attorney general at the same time that I obtained the nomina- tion for delegate. John Rustgard' has been the attorney general for several years and most of you know him, and I hope that you will all vote for him.:
 Cash Cole was nominated for auditor by majority vote of the Republicans of this territory. He | is young man, raised in Juneau. He went to school to my wife down there and has been thrash ed by my wife, but don't think he's the worse for it. He is your candidate for auditor and I hope you will support him.
 J w Keller, or what is Keller's initials, (voice from audience WK) w. K. Keller is a candidate for superintendent of schools. He and his family lived here. I sup pose most of you know him. He is good citizen. And he has shown his skill and character in the management of the schools for the past year, and I hope you will vote for him.
 E F Wann is a candidate for highway commissioner on the Re publican ticket. He was nominated at the Republican primaries and altho I do not know MT. Wann personally. learn that he is a man of high character and de serving of your support. And sup port me ta the same time. There will be, you will see, Republican administration and this territory should be in line with that ad- ministration.
 Ladies and gentlemen, we have adopted Republican platform and am not going to read 1t; but do want to read one or two sections of 1t and 1t will show you what am standing for now. You may and probably do want to know what I stand for.
 First our platform provides that We will support the Paciflc-Inter- national Highway which will ex- tend from Seattle and Vancouver to Fairbanks. pledge you my whole-hearted support to that great project and promise to do all that can to bring 1t about. People down in British Columbia are working along these lines right now. They have been pre- pairing for that road very indus triously and are leaving nothing undone to see this wonderful highway some day accomplished. This highway that will come even tually, is bound to come. Just think what it will mean to the welfare of Alaska. I am for it and will endeavor to see it realiz- ed for you in the very near fu- ture. Now, I promise on the terri torial platform that we approve and will support the Alaska pri- mary election law. Now, my friend, Tony Dimond isn't in favor of the primary system. Well. yes, believe now that he has discov. cred that he made a mistake about it. that he thinks he is now. He said he didn't favor 1t and lot of women got after him and he had to renege, and the men be, hind him are not in favor of it. I think it is one of the best laws in this territory. You know they held convention at Cordova one time and here's how they did it from southeastern Alaska. They gathered a few fellows from Val deg and Cordova and got lot of proxies, a dozen Or fifteen men and about five hundred proxies That isn't a representative con. vention of any kind. But now, on the 26th or 27th day of April last, we had a primary election in this territory for the Repubfi- cans and the Democrats. It was held to determine who they want ed to leave in the election this fall. That gives the people chan ce to nominate your candidate and nominate your candidate ir that way. I am in favor of tha, primary election law and oul people are all in favor of it. | am in favor and approve O! the enactment of laws by Con gresa fo give fha Alaska laRiala.
