YWhen They Ballot Before a nvdemw—su,e:l audience which minors were about as 15 as adults, Republican candidates last night out to disentangle themselves from national politics and to stress ‘ceal matters over the New Deal iscus. They spoke from the plat- at the Coliseum Theatre. The keynote of their campaign was sounded by Judge H. B. Le- |Fevre, President of the Gastinean {Channel Republican Club in his |cpening remarks. He called it ‘‘a | va campaign of two opposite is- — one side (the Democrats) | 5 ~king to eradicate everything that has gone before, everything pregious to us; and the other (the Repub- licans) demanding a reversion tc |the old ways and customs.” in aumer 1ntive Of Ne Impsilance After he had thus defined the New Deal issue, he assured the audience that the “national cam- paign doesn't concern us except. to an infinitesimal degree.” Local matters, he protested, are para- mount. He introduced the three speakers, H. R. Shepard and Frank J. Foster of Juneau, and Harry G. McCain of Ketchikan, The first two spoke but briefly, giving way to Mr. Mc- Cain for the main talk. Mr. Shepard’s talk was featured by his declaration that the Re- publicans of Alaska had united in endorsing “Tony” Dimong for Dele- gate this year. He cppealed for votes from Ju- neau’s electorate, particularly Demo- crats, on the ground that there are no Democrats from this end of the Division’ on the Demc: ticket. “We believe the northern end is entitled to representation," he declard. As a member of the (1923 House, he believed he had to ‘Seattlz!acquired experience fitting to rep- ion in the Legisla- |« d authorship of the |3 the Div He claim resent tare.

He |especially harsh on his condemn: ltion of the Agricultural Adjustment Administation, which was the only 1specxt‘c New Deal agency he men- | tioned. He, too, urged that the voters |pay no attention to national poli- | cies, and urged them to vote solely on local issues. He declared there should be a chapge in the existing Workmen's Compensation Act and said he believed it could be worked out so as to make it profitable for industries to hire local labor. He was in fayor of taxing fish traps out of existence, he said. He favored making the Commissioner of Education elective. Prgises Goy. Troy He opposed on principle, he suid, appointment by the Governor of a board which selected the Commis- sioner of Education. “I don't be- lieve Gov. Troy would knowingly or intentionally do anything wrong, but I don't know who is going to be the next Governor of Alaska,” he asserted. He said the presént system of liquor contrgl was not giving sat- isfaction. Control Board, he said, had not pgrmitted local con- trol of the traffic, After the M Brain Trust Mr. McCain, praising the ac- complishments of President Roose- velt and expressing the hope that His recovery program would be suc- cessful, drew a round of applause, the first that had interrupted any of the speakers. He, too, though! the New Deal ought not to be permitted to become an issue here, whatever was done elsewhere. He isn't afteé’r the Administration’s “prain trust,” but the Alaska “brain trust, he said. He termed the Board of Liquor Control a “colossal faflure.” It had established a system of liquor sale which he declared is worse than the old saloons. “It must be abol- ished and some reasonable system established,” he declared. He charg- ed the Board had failed to recog- nize the rights of municipal gov- ernments. Cites Ketchikan Ordinance He declared he had no sympathy with the idea “there are no decent persons in the liquor business.” After charging that the Board had not given municipal governments power to act, he admitted in the next bredth that he had drafted an ordinance for the City of Ket- chikan which the City Council, which he is a member passed.

The ordi- nance, he further asserted, put the traffic on a decent and sound basis. He attacked the 1933 Legislature for repealing the statute for popu- lar election of the Commissioner of Education and creating a Board of Education to fill the office. He favored election of teachers by the rural population in unincorporated districts. For Labor Commissioner favored creating two new of- fices, Inspector of Mines and abor Commissioner, both to be elected by popular vote. He again attacked Commissioner Frank T. Bell, United States Bu- eau of Fisheries, whose adminis- ation he termed ‘“evasive, dis- inatory and full cf favoriiism.” He charge that he had given 18 fish t osed by Commissioner O'Malley in 1928, and lo- rategic poi te the ations.” The 93 traps osed by Commissioner Bell last ar, he said, were mostly “dum- " which didn't catech any fish He rged the abelition of traps.

R ADVENTURER VISITS JUNEAU ON WAY TO SIBERIA AND CHINA Lee Wise, at one time with the Tacoma News-Tribune, beluga hunt- cr, oil prospector and artist, is a Juneau visitor for a few days. ¢ His first trip to Alaska was made in 1898, and the last before the present one was in 1919, when he was hunting belugas, or aretic whales, in Cook Inlet. He owns an oil prospect near Fife, Washington. Mr. Wise came north on this trip in May, and has been on Baranof Island for the past six weeks, during which time he em- ployed his artistic ability in decor- ating night clubs in Port Alex- ander, where the prosperity of the fishermen this season is giving the community. a new lease on life. Present plans call for a trip to Anchorage on the Aleutian, with an airplane flight from that city to Nushagak, where he will look into the beluga possibilities. From there, Mr. Wise intends to go up the coast, cross over into Siberia and down the other side to China. — - U. S. COMMISSIONER AT HOONAH RESIGNS; WILL ATTEND UNIV. Mr. and Mrs. J. Gerald Will- iams, formerly teachers at Hoonah, left on the Princess Louise for a trip to the World's Fair, following which they will enroll at the Uni- versity of Washington for the com- ing year. They will also visit with Mrs. Willlams' parents in Wyoming, enroute to the Fair. Mr. Williams, who was appointed United States Commissioner at Hoonah July 2, resigned his posi- tion before leaving, and since Judge G, F. Alexander of the Fed- eral District Court, is away at the present time, no appointment has béen made to fill the vacancy. — - GEESE FLYING SOUTH Several flocks of geese were seen flying south over Auk Lake yes- terday.
