I S*»I)PSIS OF THE LIFE STORT Of'
JAMES WCKEflSKimi
(Continued tram Pago 1.)
that tlie city had been swindled.
Thus believing, he brought suit.
Bitter days followed. He was attack
ed by newspapers, politicians and
1 business men, but got the caee to
trial and obtained a verdict of
j $787,000 agalust the water and
lighting company.
By this time James Wickersham
had many friends and many en
emies. His friends headed by Ad
dison G. Foster, whom be helped to
elect to the United States senate,
asked President McKlnley to
appoint him a federal Judgo
in Alaska. His enemlee, with
out his knowledge, Join
ed in the request—they wished to
get him out of Tacoma and the
State of Washington. He came to
Alaska as judge of the interior dis
trict.
About that time ecaudalous acts
were being done at Nome. Placer
claims worth a million dollars each,
the gold lying on the surface of the
ground, almost, had fallen into the
hands of their discoverers, Lap
landers and Norwegians, principal
ly. Certain men in the United
States organized a camorra and pro
ceeded to rob the Laplanders and
Norwegians of their property. Gov
ernment officers assisted in the
work.
.rtfffpAra
were taken to San Francisco undor
arrest. Judge Wlckersham was sent
to Nome aand Instructed to "clean
up the situation." He did bo rigor
ously. Then ho resigned from the
bench to become the Alaskan Dele
gate in congress. Fairbanks, con
taining but three houses, built In a
clearing of the wilderness, "500
miles from civilization/', to use his
own description, was his home.
Next he grappled with the fiercest
and most powerful monoply of all
—the Alaskan Syndicate, composed,
as lie still maintains, of the Gugg
euheiuis, mostly. Ho found three
southern gateways of Alaska—Val
dez, Seward and Cordova—in pos
session of the syndicate. Immed
iately he began strenuously to ap
peal for a nationalized railroad
running from one of tho three ports
named northward into the interior
cC the territory.
The road has been authorized and
will be built. Agricultural and
mineral lands will bo given or sold
to settlers. Alaska will fill up with
small competitors instead of big
monopolists. Before long ' it will
be a state. James Wlckersham, it
is reasonable to predict, will be the
first senator In congress to be el
ected bv the new commonwealth.
Ethnology, or the study of the
races of men, has been enriched by
his writings and investigations. He
has a decided talent for composi
tion and oral statement, and his
six hour speech in the House of
Representatives on Alaska, its re
sources and possibilities, brought
him wide fame as an orator and an
author.
WicVeTshoni's Platform
On which he will appeal to the vot
ers of the territory for their sup
port iii the coming election.
Washington, D. C., June 4, 1914.
TO THE PEOPLE OF ALASKA:
I shall be a candidate for re-election
as Delegate from Alaska at the No
vember election. This announce
ment is made upon request of many
people in Alaska, and because my
duties as your representative in
congress prevents me from coming tfl
an early date to make it In person.
In case of my election in Novem
ber it will be my purpose to work
for congressional enactment:
1. In Bupport of the progressive
Alaskan policy declared by Presi
dent Wilson in hia message to
congress, December 2d, 1913.
2 To continue appropriations In
aid of government owned and oper
ated railroads in Alaska.
3. To secure better administra
tive control over railroad and Bteaiu
ohip lines In Alaska, a reduction of
the present confiscatory rates, and
permanent dissolution of the mon
opoly* which has so long controlled
transportation facilities in Alaska
in violation of the Sherman act.
4. To secure an additional ap
propriation of $450,000 for the im
mediate completion of the capitol
building at Juneau, and other ap
propriations for other needed public
buildings In Alaska.
5. To secure the construction ol
a safo and suitable harbor at Nome
and the improvement of Dry strait
C. To secure the passage of o
fair coal leasing bill so the mines
may be Immediately opened for de
velopment without monoply.
7. To secure appropriations foi
aids to navigation, and for roada
trails and bridges.
S. To protect ouf fisheries frotr
destruction and moaoply, and tc
compel them to paj their Just pro
portion for tho support of Alaskan
government.
9. To create the commission o.m
of control Id tue administration o!
national affairs, la Alaska, bo thai j
our roads," games, Indians and oducw
tloual, charitable and penal Insti
tutions may be managed in Alaska
by a single commission beaded by
Alaskans.
10. To procure tbe reservation
of sections 16 and 36, In each town
ship of uubllc lauds surveyed, for
the support of common schools in
the territory; for a law granting a
second homestead to those who have
uone in Alaska; for the establish
ment of an agricultural college in
the Tanana valley; for the survey of
all homesteads on unsurveyed lands
in Alaska at tho expense of tbe
United States.
11. To otherwise aid in the gen
eral progressive policy of the de
velopment of Alaska along lines
approved by her citizens and Presi
dent Wilson.
Iu again announcing my candid
acy permit me to call your atten
tion to tho changed conditions which
now surround Alaska problems in
congress. For the last four years
every effort made by your delegate
to sccure sympathetic support for
progressive laws in aid of the de
velopment of Alaska was denied.
Alaskans will long remember tho
attempt to pass the infamous llev
eridge bill for the creation of an
appointive carpet-bag legislature j
tor Aiasica, unuer war ucpaiumoui
control, and the impudent refusal of
George W. Perkins to permit the
construction of a competing lino of
railroad into the Matanuska coal
fields and the Tanana valley. How
our ports were closed In restraint of
trade by this same transportation
trust is told 'n the recent pleas of
"guilty" in the United States court
at Juneau. They are as powerful in
Washington as in Alaska, and in
both places really had a "free hand
in Alaskan matters."
But a change caiuo when Wood
row Wilson becamo president. A
western man with Western ideas
and courage to carry, them into ex
ecution was made Secretary of the
Interior, and given a "free hand In
Alaskaii matters." The door to mon
opoly was closed; that to conserva
tion with use by the people without
monopoly was thrown wide open,
and the rusty wheels of progress
were put in motion.
It was not necessary for the del
egate, from Alaska to change his
position, his principles or his line
of effort to securo sympathy and
support. The administration chang
ed—not tho delegate from Alaska.
With that change in administration
your delegate found himself in com
pany with those who sought pro
gressive Alaskan legislation. The
delegate introduced tho Alaskan
railroad bill In congress on April 7,
1913, the first day of the special
session; on December 2, 101", Pres
ident Wilson in ins hi-sl Tui-.-safcc
to tho regular session approved it.
and thereafter with his active slip
tort it became a law. His admin
istration procured other progres
sive bills to be introduced in aid
of tho development of Alaska, and
those offered by your delegate have
met with friendly support and ap
proval. Today the enactment of truly
progressive laws for the develop
ment of Alaska, free from monopoly,
is being personally urged by Presi
dent Wilson, and occupies first
place in his administrative program.
Alaska and tho Pacific coast
ought to give him and his Alas
kan policy unstinted support.
