after delivering his address he left
cm the gaa launch; St. Nicholas,, for
Juneau, where he is scheduled to
deliver a series of political speech
es. Ja the early part of tho af
ternoon he dellvereid) a politUs*! ad

pojiticul lines) should not he drawn
iuud that it 'was a pleasure for him
to introduce the speaker of the
evening.
Th<> Democratic campaigner
thanked the pe«c(plei of Skagway for
his hoarty reception) and told them
how glad he -wad to be with them.
He spent considerable time in
describing his campaign Itinerary
thru tl' > Interior and to the west
ward. More tilme was taken "up by
;t grannie deS|oriation of th« won
derfuluess of th9 Territory of Al
aska and the projects for its fu
ture development. Having finished
this the spea&'er launched forth on
his poMtical gpeecflu
-The worst polltU-el madhine
that ever existed in Alaska, Is
fourd in the Fourth! Division. That
Is why a number ctf the people ln
that division) have decided to vote
for me in the coming Section,"
said Mr. Sulzer. "X have two op
ponents la thdsl mce, Mrs. Lena
Morrow Lewis, represertlng the
socialist party and Mr. Wick
ersham. Mrs. Lelwta appears on a
p.atfcrm mostly oif world wide proh
lems, which makes the campaign
ultimately sift down, to Mr. Wicker

is appealing in different divisions
and holding, himself out as believ

fore vo«u on the l>emocraitic plat

He then took up the question oi
Full Territorial form of govern
ment and the effect of the Organic
act on the powers of fho Territorial
law makers'. "The Organic act is
a damper to the real progress of
the Alaska, Territorial Legislation.
I believe th&t' Full Territorial Form
o* Government Is tfhe only method
otf solution. By that method the
Territory could legislate on matters
with, which we are thoroughly fa
miliar and which the clerks at
Washington do not understand,
said Mr. Sulzer, In covering this
part of Ms speech.
Wilding his speech up with1 a
whirlwind burst of forensld onatory,
