COMMUNICATION
Skagway, Alaska, April Is.
To the Editor, Juneau Empifes

Skagway, Alaska, April Is.
To the Editor, Juneau Empire-
Dear Sir: aN4
Your editorial of April 7th was
timely, and your point was well
taken. We are now fighting "a war
started by dictator, a system the
American people are opposed to, and
by the same token neither do the
people of Alaska want to be told
who to vote for by some Govern
ment official travelling over sthe
Territory on expense account, on
one pretext or another, making pub
lie appearances, who, perhaps by
pre-arranged scheme, have stooge
in the audience interrupt his talk
with the question, who is going to
be our next delegate to Congress?"
Glad of the interruption, with a
solicitous smile, he tells his hear
ers who he is going to vote for, with
the implication if you follow me
you can't go wong.
1t was just such carpetbag tao
tics that gave birth after the Civil
War to the xxx, and we Alaskans
hate to swallow such stuff. We
don't want Roosevelt, or any other
man, not even Dimond, who has
been the best delegate we have ever
had, naming his successor. Ac-
ic
Barkleys, and / might add, in the
last two or three months, there has
been a good many Athens born up
here. 1t would set just as we'll with
us to have Madame Chang Kat
Shek or Katherine Ellis select our
Territorial Senators for us. We
have system of nominating the
men we want for office and we are
satisfied with it. We don't want
some carpetbagger to usurp it. We
have good quality of men run
ming for the, Territorial Senate. men
who are capable of exercising good
judgment, men that we are willing
to put our trust in, men that are
paying their own campaign ex-
penses Why not give them an
even break, give them the same
break you give your City Council,
and by SO doing tell the world that
we do not like DICTATORSHIP
Yours truly,
w. A. SHERMAN. f
