PRIMARY CAMPAIGNENDS IN'RALLY HERE Administration Candidates Close Vote Drive in Big Meeting Here O P PRIMARY G ! The Administration slate of the Republican party closed its primary campaign here last night with| speeches by all of the candidates| on the ticket, the chief address| being made by Attorney General John Rustgard, candidate for nom- ination as Delegate to Congress. He was the first speaker and in a speech lasting about one and! one-half hours, he vigorously as-‘i sailed the opposition ticket for lack of progressive and constructive poli- | cies, alleging it stood for destruc- tiveness. The speaker commented at some, length on the use of Judge Wick- ersham, his opponent, of a “politi- | cal funeral oration” delivered by | Mr. Rustgard some two years ago| at Anchorage. His handling of that| | portion of Wickersham's local arousing = considerable merriment in the audience which was the largest of the eurrent campaign. Slate on Platform All of the candidates on the| slate, except Pat Gildea of Ket- chikan, occupied places on the plat- form and were presented by Mr. Rustgard who presided. Elmer Reed, candidate for Audi- tor, received a marked ovation when he was presented. He made no effort to make a political speech, merely calling attention to the 30 years he had resided in the Ter- ritory and the various positions he had filled in that period. He pledged himself, if nominated and clected, to give every one having business with the Auditor's office a square deal. “I heard recently that some one remarked that on account of my inexperience as a politician he did ERADICATION UNDER REGULATION BUT OUTSIDE AREA | Alaska that the latter had been speech was greeted with laughter,!

Answers Wickersham Mr. Rustgasd assailed the op- position ticket for sponsoring poli: cies designed to prevent new capital | from entering this field, and for attacking capital already invested | in local industries. M=z his own platform and drew a issue between nominating men| pledged to a platform designed to | attract more capital and one that | threatened to drive out that which | is already here. He discussed at some iength his muchly quoted Anchorage speech( in which Wickersham was highly | culogized. He said this address was | delivered in accord with an agree- | ment reached laetween himself and | Wickersham to" prove to voters of “politically dead for many years” and that he would never again be a candidate for public office. It was necessary to do this, said the speaker, in order to satisfy opposi- tion to a so-called Home Rule bill pending in the Legislature which both men were supporting . He called attention to the close fights Wickersham had been in in being elected Delegate in the first by 31 and in the latter by seven votes. These campaigns, he added, had convinced Wickersham he was through politically, and he had an- nounced publicly he would never run for office again and confirmed that in private conversations. Delivers Funeral Oration When, therefore the controversy over the Home Rule bill was at its heighth, asserted Mr. Rustgard, “I discussed fhe situation with him because both he and I were in favor of the measure. He asserted it was unfortunate that he was brought into the controversy, be- cause never again would he be a candidate for any office. To save the Home Rule bill we decided that I should go out and deliver a speech somewhere at a strategic point in support of ;he measure to convince the people that Wicker- sham was not an element to be considered, because politically his life had come to an end many | | (A 0 |and enter the pearly gates with a the campaigns of 1916 and 1918, | g T G I or regulation by oration became sufficient creden- tial for entry into the abode of the blessed, I can see the ghost of James Wickersham come along which a funeral |neau Lodge No. 124, F. & A.

Smith, candidate for the | Treasurer’s nomination, urged sup- port for the entire Administration ticket. “Any support you may see fit to give me, I hope will be ex- tended to the other candidates in equal measure,” he declared. Legislative Candidates Three legislative candidates, C. T. Gardner, Roy Noland and Wal- ter P. Scott, reviewed the platform briefly and pledged themselves if elected to use every effort to trans- late it into legislation. “It is not a mere scrap of paper,” Mr. No- land asserted. He spoke of the necessity for repealing void statutes now on the Alaska law books and of publishing a codification of the laws of Alaska. Mr. Gardner emphasized the poli- cles advocated by the candidates which would invite eapital to invest in Alaska resources, and what:the development of the pulp and paper industry would mean to the First Division in particular and to the unable to compete. e Ay & » Bl e by Pl politically dead, I proceeded to de- |liver a funeral oration over him. {But behold, the effect was just the opposite of what was intended.
