VOTE right
TIib campaign of the candidates
who are now before the people of
Alaska, asking for their support as
delegate to congress, ami as seua
tor ami representatives to the terri
ial legislature, will end ou next
Tuesday, and ia the matter of a
choice of delegate we again appeal
to tile voters of this precinct to ,
us* tiieir ordinary good judgment
in making their selection. Of ail
duties 10 liJ performed by
»a Alaskan, there is none
bo serioug or so important as
the selection of the proper man to
reprCweut us at th© natioual capi
tal.
Did you ever stop to think what
a <iueer guy the "loyal" democrats
of Alaska are trying to make of
our uatioaal head, President Wil
son? The people generally are
disposed to look upon the president
•is an unusually "right" man, o:i
the suuare aud playing the game i»
a broad-minded manner which en
titles iim to the respect of all A"i
ericaus, uo matter what their po
litical beliefs may be. His pub
lished speeches mul utterances have
■eeai*d to s'-arup him as
more of a mag and a
statesman, than a politician,
and that is the way he seems to
wish, to have the people regard hint.
The democrats of Alaska, however,
paint h'ni as a fur-different mau.
They advertise the president as the
head of a political organization,
which exists for spoils aud party
graft only, and as a man who
cannot sleep well o' nights because
there are a few republicans yjt.
holding office in the United States.
These word-painters delineate
President Wilson as a man who,
while listening to the appeals of
members of congress who, represent
ing the peopla of their district, go
to him for help for those people,
first, considers the delegate's po
litical beliefs or claims before giv
ing ear to his appeal—that a cause
of right is in serious danger ct'
being opposed or held-out-on by
President Wilson if the congressman
who advocates that cause is not a
democrat. What a differeuce there
is between the president men have
learned to respect and admire for
his fair mindedness, and the presi
dent these "loyal" democrats are
now introducing to Us for the first
time.
vv.no aere snuvs uuunu, .. u
here ever heard ot" him before he
was nominated at the territorial
democratic convention held in Skag
way last summer? Why should we
take this unknown and untried ex
government offinial and throw down
a delegate who has brought not only
a world-wide acquaintance to Alas
ka, but has also piled material bene
fit# upon Alaska, without which
thi» territory would practically be
a dead one for many years tx> come,
aud thereby debar us all from the
chanc* of bettering our condition
for the whole of that time.. The
only reasou they can give for de
airing such a change is that a demo
crat, as they claim, would have
more influence with President "Wil
»on, no matter what his ability may
be or how well or ill he presents
hig case, than would a nian who
■while in perfect accord with the
W:lson administration is not
a. full-fledged democrat; and the
utatement that Bunnell is in favor
of a government-owned central
power plaat. Those excuses won't
wash—everybody is in favor of
anything they can get from the gov
ernment, and the president con
aiders the merits of a case before he
does the politics of the man stating
the case.
There is no other candidate be
fore the people who has any claims
for serious consideration that the
voters of Alaska can afford to con
sider for a moment—no other candi
date for delegate than James
Wickereham. He has been tried
out from start to finish, and t»day
»tandg before the people as the
man who has delivered the real
goods. It is practically asking the
people of Alaska to commit financial
suicide, to suggest that they throw
down, their tried and true represen
tative just to aggrandize the local
territorial democracy and beuefit
an untried stranger.

a machine then in use in the Lon

table and bad a slot into which a pen
