ALASKA'S NO. | SALESMAN

We read with great deal of satisfaction the news
in yesterdays Empire that TONY" Dimond is going
offer his the people of Alaska again
their Delegate to Congress- We have idea that
big ajorty of the people of the Territory feel the
same way about it. for Anthony j Dmond has assayed
high grade as Alaska's No salesman in Washington,
d. C. He has done the job for which he elected
in excellent fashion which is about all any can
ask.
For three terms Tony" has been down there in
Washngt as Democrat selling the Terrtorys needs
to Congress and nation He first went down in 1882,
again in 1884 and last time in 1886 Now if the people
want him he's willing to go back this fall for his fourth
term. We have bunch the people going to want
him. You don't pick up a crackerjack Alaska sales
every day, and Tony" is tops" therefore we
feel Alaskans going to insist that he stay
1t shouldn't be overlooked that Alaska has only
Delegate to Congress- He isn't representative like
the states have with the power to vote. The only
voting the Alaska Delegate can do is through some
representative. That is why the who represents
tician elected to office He has to be a salesman of
the first water. He has to know how when and where
to get before the committees and the proper govern
ment heads with his proposals and desires He hasn't
any state delegation to fall back Senator from
his state to boost him. He has to go it alone And it
belief that Tony" Dimond has gone it alone in
Congress in mighty able fashion.
There's one true story about TONY" which we
think depicts the caber of man Alaska has back in
Washington better than any other single thing. In
the closing hours of the 1885 session. the House was
