August Kith next. There were a
total of 1)^H2 voles cast, of which
Wickersham received 5572 and

AVieki'i'sham carried hy ll>7. .1«• ii
iimps also will lake away almosi
I lie entire Democratic support
which Wickersham received in
llial division. The \o|e cast for
O'Connor will po to the Socialist
candidate, lliu.s leaving Wicker

sofar as Sewaril peninsula is
concerned.
The Fourth division pave
Wickersham a majority of 1038
over Orr. II is also safe lo pre
sume here llial Wickersham will
pel none of I he Orr volcand will
have |o divide his own with Jen

taken from Wickersham and' al
the hesl will noi pivc the dele

al I In* lies| indication of a dif
ference nf opinion. "Slop my pa
per. " lie represents no element
uf socitdy anil never will; he is
simply voicing Ihe sentiment of
n hnll-headed ass, who imagines
Ihftt in his own crnnimn the. wis
dom of the ages has been stored.
Unfortunately he is a plentiful
species and yei fortunately, by
some inscrutable law of nature.
In* possesses 110 cohesiveness and
therefore, like tin- hybred, is un
able to transmit his thought or
desires through organization in
to a crystalized sentiment.
When the country editor re
alizes that forcefulness and prin
ciple are the weapons given us to
tight wrong and with which to
battle for right, a great forward
step will have been made for the
betterment of not only our own
communities, but the nation as
well.
WHAT HE HA8 TRIED TO DO.
When (icnrpe Baldwin, in llio
course of his speech, 1 lie oilier

responsible lor the conservation
of Alaska's resources.
lie has constantly, without in
terruption, fought appropriations
for the huihlinp of roads and
trails in Alaska, because. for
sooth, members of the road com
missjon were not pleasurable to
him.
lie has Iried lo prevent the ex
tension of the limits of incor
porated cities in Alaska, because
under present conditions a few
of his inlimale political associa
tes in Vahlez were profit inp finan
cially by reason of the present
exist inp conditions.
lie Iried lo pive us a home rule
hill, of which even (Sonrpo Bald
win. the chairman of the conven
tion which nominated him, says
lie is ashamed of and would hard
ly care lo be responsible for.

He has Iried lo make Ihc people
