I MAYOR -STUFFS.
| IN ALASKA there is an all Eskimo
town that has Mayor, a City
/ Council. dirty politics, ward heelers
and other modern equipment which
/ We usually regard as blossoms of our
! own peculiar civilization. Recently
| the town held an election, and a
/ fellow named Adams was chosen
| Mayor by majority CT ! vote, al
| though there is some evidence TO the
effect that three of his voters each
voted for him three times, which is
! o. K. with us.
Upon the solemn occasion Of his as
/ sumption of office. the Mayor made a
/ speech. which was reported to the
! Indian Bureau here by school teacher
who lives in the frozen North. We
give you Hizzoner:
For two years now you been after
me to play in this thing-this politics
and City Council and all them kinds of
stuff. l don't want to be in it because
l seen it other places and always trou-
bles comes up. Sometimes one way.
sometimes something else again, it
! comes that makes trouble and all them
things

Mayor and l didn't want to git it. But
you went and got me anyway. So
now I'm Mayor. Now you do what
say. And you do it too.
If ! tell one man to do something,
