Efficiency is the modern, cry of
tne bu:<m*?s*> man, layman and. vot
« r. Sot vice and efficiency go hand
in hand, being synonymous, aud
t>otfc ol" these qualities have been
i lie guiding prima pie, ruling the
conduct of James WickwiJiani, Al
aska's alert representative in con
gress. Having served the people of
tais territory diligently, faithfully
and with the sole aius of advooating
the cause of Alaska, ifc» again
comes ne u re you and soliuists yom
vote.
The ;:rtss of Alaska is united on
•..is •joint, tha* Mr. Wicke.sham has
nerved tiie poopia ajid advanced
thuir iause iu tha legislative. hal's
ol the national asstiuby," always
Lx-ung- ou tlife job uuid Jjooating Al
aska wherever the opfpOitunity pre
sented itself. More than this be
lias secured the passage clsru, the
national assembly of lawsr which
correspond with, thje most progress
ive i t; tes in the Union. He has
!*:<. n th«: champion of thfc people
sewed them faithfully* during
•liis office holding terms. Mr.
WickersJiiLiu knows mope about Al
aska than any other man in the
Territory. Co nsjrt semen back in
Washington are amaze d at thje mas
sive information which) he carries
on his finger tips about the great
jiorthlajid. He has lived true to
eve>ry promise whi.h, he ha si made
the people of Alaska, and stands
ready and willing to chanvpion thjei
cause in tbe 65 congre s.
Governmental aid must be solicit
ed for Alaska if it wuHbefi to Weep
jvice wi'h the othtr commercial un
its in tfce I'nion . It takes a
shrewd man fully cognizant with
rv»> working detail not only of
the territory of Alaska but at
Woshingtcn to se:uire the passage
<>f uo to th*» minute legislation for
this u-rritory. Mr. Wickeirsham has
d(«ie good work for us and deserves
.mother term. His service, at this
precarious period of our develop
ment, is .ilrncwt indi^penisable. We
cannot ;lo without him. Suirely the
voters oT this Taratorj- will return
an overwhelming1 majority for thedr
faithful servant and -r«ui:Tn, him to
congress.
NOT EMBARRASSED
"Nobody can embarrass by
talKiug about Americanism." said
Mr. llurhes at Green Bay Wiscon
sin "I am not for this cue or
• hat one. I am for the United State®
3irst last and all tie time, without
regard to another consideration."
This declaration was made in a
state where the propoiticj* o£ for
eign-bom. citizens is regarded as
larg*, nhere there h-j th.cn though
to be a hajsh feeling toward those
UuO d? not tincture their patriot
i. ai wi'h. reservations, and wJifare
some 'imid folk have believed it im 1
pru'kr.t to preaab. what Hug-h,«a has )
always called an "undiluted Ameri
can is in."
T!'9 resporFe of "Wisconsin to'
Hughes' words has confounded) thi
pussy-footers, however; and the epl
sody coupled with thai earlier in
cident in Tennessee, has demonstrat
er» not cnly- that Hughes cannot bfc'
embarrassed oy the talk about Am
ericanism, but that ce caumct be
^mbarrasslrd by ttjo talk nbont any
issue that may arse in the oam

J LEMDERG AGAIN RUSSIAN OBJECTIVE
Lemberg, the capital of Gallcla, which was taken by the Russians in 1014
and recaptured by the Teuton forces In 1015, is again threatened by the Rus
sians. In the picture are shown Austrian prisoners In the latest drive and
Lemberg Municipal theatec.
ment is due to Ms cle'ir convlctiomo
and to iia undawiabla courage in
stating them. What he hap, to say
ina." not meet the opinions of his
audience. It did not at MempMs.
But his manliness in. standing his
grouud, his readiness to giv« the
reason for thJe faith] that isl in him,
his logic in presjemAing his case
compel the attention, ol tihjougfhful
citizens and win men to his way of
thinking.
That be wishes 'hp totes of Ms
fellow-citizens is undeniable —but
that -e would truckle to gtet tt^am
or that he would surrender a great
principle of legislation or of admfn
istira^'nn to gjet thiem is unthinkable
He is tot embarmseed because he
is honest.
