TIC THE CITIZENS OF JUNEAU:

Tn reply to semi-anonymous and mis- leading advertisement on it's policies appear ing in local newspaper yesterday, this com pany desires to set forth it's positions clearly to the public of this city as follows:
 1-The Gray Line has no intention of petitioning the residents of Juneau. It believes when an organization reaches the point where it cannot remain in business on it's own initiative, it is time for 1t to grace fully retire and leave the field open to those who can carry on without the aid of petitions. 1t also believes when business cannot exist without tearing down other businesses in it's own field at attempting to dictate to other directly non-competitive business, 1t is ini- mical to the best interest of any community.
 2-The Gray line has never had nor sought a franchise with the Alaska Steam ship Company for the sale of it's tickets aboard it's boats. The Alaska Line, however, along with other steamship lines operating to Juneau, permitted it's pursers to sell Men denhall Glacier Tour tickets for the accomo- dation of Alaska tourists.
 This was done for years before the Gray Line entered the local field. During that period, however, tourists were being dropped at the Nugget Shop for a cash consideration. As was natural, therefore, no very strenuous protest was entered.
 3-The Gray Line does not believe that the Alaska Steamship company has been persuaded that it is none of it's concern whether or not the tourists make the Men denhall Glacier Trip. It is convinced the Alaska Line, in harmony with everyone in- terested in Alaska, does agree that this Glacier Tour is one of the Highlights of the entire Alaska Tour, and one that is becom- ing more and more widely known and in creasingly popular among tourists.
 4-The Gray Line is not now trying and never has attempted to create a tourist trade

monopoly in Juneau. But by the same token it will not for cash or other c0nsldera- tiCn help tc give the Nugget Shop an edge over its competitors by establishing there terminal for buses returning from the gla- cier, thereby assisting to create Just such monopoly as it so strenuously objects to on paper.
 5-The Gray Line realizes that compe- tition in the transportation field IS both necessary and advisable for the highest pub lie interest This also, applies to such en- terprises as curio stores.
 6-The only promise the Gray Line makes in it's service is to give the tourists the kind of a trip to the glacier to>which they are justly entitled, and to discharge them at point, or points, most fair to the mer- chants of Juneau as whole.
 7-The Gray Line does not agree to the view, openly expressed in some quarters, that tourists should not be permitted to visit the Alaska Territorial Museum. It is cer- tain all Juneau citizens, interested in the community and Territory, take civic pride in the Museum.
 8-The Gray Line employs all local drivers who spend their money in Juneau, and are capable of making the Glacier Trip fast enough to give the tourists just such a ride as they have paid for, and to return them in safety and comfort.
 *~ &e
 9-The Gray Line has no criticism to offer any merchant writing to the Alaska Steamship Company in regard to this mat ter. However, it does respectfully ask those who do so to make any suggestions they may offer in their letters fair to Juneau and to the Territory as whole, and to every in- terest in the community, and not to any in- dividual business in particular.

 The latest tally showed:
 For the instructed slate, 250,349 For the uninstructed slate, 337,- 945.
 This does not mean, however that Landon will have no votes from the California delegation. Ac- cording to all available informa ton, there is considerable Landor Strength in the uninstructed list of delegates.
