am not in favor of the present system of liquor control because it has evils which are worse than under the old saloon system. There must be a change. I don't know of the systems that are advocated but any control that will eradicate evils will be far better than the system we have today. There will be no "ifs" and lands" or lodging when that issue comes up as far as I am concerned. Because decency demands a change.

 STATE ATTITUDE ON LIQUOR CONTROL

If the Women's Club of Wran- gell will tell me how the use of liquor may be successfully com bated, will devote the rest of my life to accomplish this object
 In the meantime I would follow the wishes of the majority of the people of this Division. The Wo- mems Club could greatly help to ascertain the will of the majority, have 1t embodied in a workable law. Under any form of govern ment the majority rules. be- lieve in that principle.
 l believe every citizen should share in the burdens of good gov ernment The Wrangell Women's Club cannot escape it's share of that responsibility. I asked that club to propose a workable system of dispensing liquor They answer my question by asking what I pro pose. That is asking the servant to say what the master must do Whatever I may say or wish will not add one iota to the solution of the liquor problem.
 Seventeen years ago over three fourths of the states ratified the prohibition amendment, last year they repealed it. The whole nation is in muddle about the thing. The people do not seem to know what they want and a handful of candidates for Territorial office will not solve that mighty prob lem. Whether elected or not shall ask the ladies of the Wran- gell Club to help in improving existing conditions of legislation. In the meantime why do these ladies not insist upon enforcement of our present liquor laws? They cope fully with the complaints heard that liquor is being sold to intoxicated persons. Why not call upon the officials who are paid fat salaries to enforce these laws to do their duty? "The greatest good for the greatest numbers is my creed and I stand or fall by that HENRY RIDDEN

am mailing you copy of the Republican platform con- taining a plank on intoxicating liquor control. I endorse that plank.
 believe that the Legislature ought to pass local option law so that communities can regulate the liquor traffic according to local sentiment, or prohibit it if the ma jority so favor. Local option is just plain Americanism and local self government The unit should, how ever, be large enough so that cities can be protected from places which might start and operate in outlying contiguous territory.
 believe t h al Incorporated Municipalities should have com plete control of the business; that no licenses should be granted un- less approved by the Council; that all revenue derived by licenses or taxes from the business should be- long to the Municipality wherein it originates
 It seems to me that the above principles enacted into a sensible law would adequately handle the whole situation. I also favor abol- ishing the present Liquor Board. It has woefully failed.
 Trusting that the above answers your questions, I am,
 Sincerely yours,

favor a liquor law providing To- cal option in towns and precincts where majority are opposed to liq- uor, also strict regulation under high license so that dealer will have greater incentive to obey laws, Also no granting of license except after public notice so that persons of bad character may be prevented from obtaining license.

My vote on hard liquor control will be for a plan similar to some of the Canadian provinces, hand ling through stores operated by Territory. I have no definite plan yet for beer but believe law must be amended providing for fewer and closer controlled outlets with license controlled probably in mu- nicipality.

Just before adjournment Satur- day of the regular meeting of the Wrangell Civic Club, one of the members, the wife of a prominent citizen and the mother of children, said, Madam President, do you think 1t would be in order for this club to ask each candidate in the coming election in the First Di- vision how he stands on the liquor control question:" The president replied, "I believe a motion to that effect would be in order" After a brief discussion such a motion pre- vailed. The president appointed a committee to look after the matter and that evening a radiogram was sent to each candidate.
 The candidates for the office of Territorial Treasurer were queried as well as the candidates for the senate and house of representa- tives, because the treasurer is a member of the Territorial Liquor Board. Each candidate was asked to wire a reply to the following re- quest: Will you please tell us definitely what is your attitude and if elected how will you vote on the question of liquor control?"
 Word from eleven of the four teen candidates had been received by the club up to noon today. 0s- car Olson of Cordova, A. P. Walker of Craig and w. H. Mccall of Ket- chikan were away from home and could not be reached by wire. The replies follow;
