Florida Has Been Overdoing; 4luslm to Be Under the above caption and wilh a one-column cut of Curiis Shat- tuck, the Seaftle Times of recent eate carried the following article: Curtis Shattuck ares it this way—Florida has been overdoing things. He reckons there have been a few t0o many moons over Miami; &an ex- cess of those emerald-green surfs singing songs to the sparkling sands (see Coral Gables Chamber of Com- merce), and pert /en t00 many swishing palms among those tropi- cal breezes. Florida, this young secretary o the Juneau Chamover of Commerc believes, is about set for less romance and more realism. Shattuck offers Fleridians! Nothing Unusual In It In his room at the Roosevelt Ho- ps Alaska to the tel today, down from Juneau on the | first lap of a trip to the most south- castern point in the United States, fhattuck said there was nohting so unusual about going all the way to Florida to interest tourists in visit- ing Alaska. “It seems like a natural vo me.’ he said. “Alaska has scenery and sports that Filorida people have never witnessed. Alaska has a con- trast that shonld interest every Eoutherner.” 8o, instead of being surfeited with surfs and super-soothed by the whis- pering palms, Florida, through the of the Juneau Chamber will be offered ce d wilder Will Offer Steelhead In place of tarpon and t Shat- tuck will suggest salmon and stee!

He urged an awakening among the people relative to matters of gov- ernment and stated there are two views relative to the Constitution. One of these, he said, feel the present form of the Constitution is adequate and should be preserved and perpetuated. The other class, cometimes referred to as radicals, feel (he document has outlived its usefulness and should be discarded. The Republican Party of Lincoln, he declared, beiieve in perpetuat- ing the Constitution as the basis Says Platform Repudiated Picturing the New Deal as re- pudiating its 1932 platform, Albert White, Territorial Republican Chair- man, appealed for a swing back to the Republican Party “It is fitting that this day, Lin- coln’s birthday, that we, the mem- bers of his party, speak in praise of that great- Amerfcan and Re- )uh'u'm Abraham Lincoln, who vas called to the Presidency in a great crisis, and who won his place in histor Mr. White said. “To- day we are facing another great crisis. A crisis forced upon the American people and called the New Deal. I feel it is now the time for the American people to respond and elect to the Presidency seme great American who will be the standard bearer of the Repub- n Party in the forthcoming el- tion.” Relief is no longer a project, but a bureaucratic racket with the American taxpayer as the outraged “sugar daddy,” the speaker declar- ed. He pointed to figures of the American Federation of Labor which, he said, revealed that there are some 11,500,000 unemployed in the United States. He charged the Government had spent $3,542,949,- 785 on direct relief up to Decem- ber of last year, had contracted the greatest public debt in history and there are still more than elev- |en million unemployed. “And," he added, “the Democrats have the | len are attending the Sacred Heart audacity to tell the American peo- velit in Menlo Park, California, | ple that v,.- are in the midst of prosperity.” Flays Alaska Democrats White bitterly attacked the in Alaska, dub- “Juneau Machine.” “The record of the last Demo- |cratic Legislature is before you,” |he said. “What did they accom- | plish for the welfare of our peo- | Mr. | ple? That another such body should |again be elected to control this Territory and its affairs would be nothing short of tragedy.” The Speaker quoted excerpts from a statement hg said had been made by Representative A. P. Walker of Craig, who served in the House session, in which the Legisla- ure was taken to task. Walker, Democrat, independent Many people are wondering what as become of some of the “war ses of Democracy, who have in the past taken such an active| interest in the Democratic Party,” Mr. White said, in' referring to the | national picture. “Is it because ol the machine age?
