ATTENTION.: DELEGATE FROM
ALASKA, BOB BARTLETT

have noted the opposite view
expressed by Democratic Natlona
Committeeman Howard Lying AM
yourself. Analysing the returns o
our recent general election, MI
LYING blames the Governor Of Alas
ka for the Democratic defeat and
it is reported. he SO wired the De
mocratic National Committee.
You give many reasons for Re
publican gains, but not that one
But you do say, Sc. Democrats
were accused. .unjustly and I'M
properly. =" and that g. this cam
paign had its effect"
Inasmuch as I was the speakei
and the one who twice challenged
the Governor to debate this issue
1 think it proper for me to say
that the DEMOCRATIC PARTY
DID NOT DENY MY CHARGES
and has not to this day; all they
Gid was to smear me.
Now you state that you have a
working majority Of four in the
House OF Representatives. WHY
NOT HAVE THEM INVESTIGATE
THE CHARGES THAT I HAVE
MADE? While I am making trip
to the States during the session,
will be available before it adjourns
and will be glad to come and de-
fend at no expense to the Terri
tory. the charges 1 have made. l do
not for a minute think that all the
honesty is in the Republican Party
alone and will let the chips fall
where they may.
I. as Mr.. Roden said, wear no
mans collar; I am under no obli-
CATION to anyone and no one can
call me to account. What I have
done is for the good of the Terri
tory.
1t is remarkable to note that the
one man who was not a candidate
for office was the only one within
the Republican Party to travel the
Territory to deliver his message.
That I got response is a certainty;
your Mrs. Essie Dale, Democratic
National Committeewoman was de-
feated, the three stalwart supporters
of the Governor and Statehood
Senators Rivers, Taylor and Per-
atrovich were also defeated.
The issue, as you limited was
Corruption, Malfeasance and Mis-
feasance. Not a Democrat defended
his party nor did a Republican ad-
vocate the election of Republican
candidates IS such alone.
The election outcome was the re-
suit of the efforts CT those who
contributed small amounts to the
Committee which I neaded-and,
incidentally, NO CORPORATION,
in or out OF Alaska, assisted. VII
liam Strand, of Fairbanks, did
great job in getting the facts be-
fore the people of the Fourth d.
vision resulting in the great num-
Der of Republicans elected.
We wantnow, Delegate, an Inves-
tigation of the Territorial govern
ment. The people VOTED for it;
to deny them this is at the peril
of both parties
We hope that you will advise
your party to investigate since, as
you say, they have a working ma
jority in the House and, as you
further say, the administration
was UNJUSTLY and IMPROPERLY
ACCUSED CT various crimes and
misdemeanors.
I still make the charges that
went unanswered during the re-
cent election campaign. AS head Of
the Democratic Party, you should
DIRECT YOUR MEMBERS TO
Observation-Disclosures TO DO
SO SHOWS AGAIN that your fac
ton of the Democratic Party wishes
to avoid the issue-and you will
be held accountable if you run
again in 1852
In this Division, we have Sid
Charles of Ketchikan to thank
for his fearless manner in exposing
the Corruption, Malfeasance and
Misfeasance.

General Counsel for the Republi-
can Party in Alaska. paid Adv)
