GIFTED LEADER
Way He Controlled Cordova Con
vention* Pleasing to Judge
Walker
A pal roll of I he Prospector,
who had interviewed Judge Wal
ker upon his possible appoint
ment lo Hie Alaska hunch, sub
mitted t<» this paper the views of
llie district attorney upon mat
ters political and the successor
ship lo the position now held l>y
J.udgc Gush man:
0. Judge Walker, it is pen
erally understood that you are an
aspirant lo succeed Judge Cush
niau in the Third division?
A. Your supposition is right
in part only. While 1 may have
an aspiration to he promoted in
the Department of Justice, I do
not know that I have any prefer
ence in respect lo a promotion in
the Third division. I have many
friends in the l'banana belt" and
entertain no enmity whatever
against any man. I hear no ill
will toward my critics, if I have
any. It is the fate of, federal of
ficials from I lie attorney general
down to encounter criticism, of
ten critieism would he disarim-d
hy fuller in formal ion. Sometimes
the personal and political ambi
tions of the critics confound their
vision.
O. Have you applied In I lie
President for the appointtni'iil as
jsuccessor lo .Multfe tJushman?
|" A. No. I have received three
I federal appointmcnls in tin' last
two adm in isl rat ions without ap
pliralion ami as personal ap
pointments hy tin* favor of two
presidents. I will say further
thai I do no) export to apply to
tIn- President for the appointment
to succeed .finite ('.iishuian.
O. Do von consider yourself
an Aaskan?'
A. I am not a Slwasli, of
course. No douht I am an inhab
itant of A':.sua. • : m a ei i « r
of Alaska. My intention is to at
tend llepuhliean ronveiilions in
Alaska for at least l'ii years. I
may never ko to another llepuh
liean convention as the "delegate
from Kllamar," hut I will lie a
delegate lo lh«' llepuhliean con
\enlions in th■* future from some
division of Alaska. I am here on
lln> Ki'ound ami iuleiid to remain
here ahovc ground during life.
Yes, I admit I consider myself an
Alaskan.
(J. Mow loilK ha\e you euKaK
ed in the practice of law?
A. I commenced the acli\c
practice of law in i'diica^o in
IHH'J, ami for a period of more
than twenty years the docket of
my law firm in C.hicaKo exceeded
the docket of the district court
of the Third division, no! only in
the number of the cases hoth civ
il ami criminal, hut in amounts
involved. I was the last t'. S.
district attorney of the southern
district of the Indian Territory
under President Roosevelt.
(J. Do you understand that a
Democrat can he appointed to a
judgeship in Alaska hy a llepuh
liean president?
A. In view of I ho fact that
there uri1 excellent Republican
lawyers in each <»f I ho four ju
dicial divisions <»f Alaska, such
an appointment is a poitical im
possibility. As a member of tin?
Alaskan Republican organization
I can say that I consider if out
of I ho riuoHlion. Tli-j day has
passed in Alaska when Democrat
ic lawyers can receive patronage
from a Republican president or
can in any way dictate to the
prosidont in reference to the dis
tribution of patronage among He
publicans, except so far of course
as it is proper to do under the
natural political rights that be
long to all rifizens. However,
Democratic control of all patron
age in the Hcpublican party is
gone.
The same rule will no doubt
obtain in the Democratic parly.
Definite parly lines will enable the
people to charge up the respon
sibility where it belongs.
Q. You are a Republican, I
believe, in politics?
A. Yes, by inheritance and
conviction I am a Republican in
politics. In 1R5f'» my father at
tended the first convention of the
Republican party. (College pro
fessors came pretty near con
verting me to free trade, but sub
sequently I recovered therefrom
mid have been a consistent Re
publican ever since arriving at
my majority. 1 consider the Re
publican party the progressive
party in politics. It has never
worn whiskers. II has never in
dulged in 'wild-eyed and wooly
vagaries. It has never sought. to
invent progress that was not in
obedience to that political evo
lution which Hows out of events
as I lie river to the sea. Springs
start from the mountain side.
They are not made hy man. hul
by llie forces of nature. Sn i*i
polities progression must be nat
ural, in harmony with tli*r ex
perience of our country and its
potential relations to a victorious
future.
<J. Did no." a local pnpr." piav
fully call yo-i "<.J. R. Shack
A. I ratl'er liked that appel
lation. 1 consider Shaekleford
the best "whip" in Alaskan poli
tics. lie is a born leader. I
watched him organize the Cor
dova convention. There was no
Republican then; in his class as a
leader and organizer.'lie brought
harmony out of disharmony and
organization out of disorganiza
tion lie gave to every delegation
what was coining to it and pre
sents in this campaign a strong
front for the Republican party.
One (hat the so-called independ
ent Republicans may decide, per
haps ought tti decide, to rally be
hind. The Republican party will
make a sharp Ugh I to win in Aug
ust. I sincerely hope that the
Democratic parly will use all its
energy to win also, so that the
regular organizations of these
two great parlies may compete in
Alaska, as elsewhere in America,
for the primacy in politics, with
all the honors and responsibili
ties therewith associated.
(j. Dm you undertsaml llial
Wirkersham or Sulhcrlaml will
run mi the independent ticket?
A. I do mil know about that.
I do know I In* K'cu t Iciuen art' Iif«»—
lon^r Republicans ami ardent
Alaskans. If tilts old rule is I cm*
that "you must keep no hooks in
politics" llu'ii old trouhlcs should
be rubbed out. II is the ordinary
occurrence in human experience.
A delegate lo congress from
Alaska who dons not bear the
credent ials of one oT I he Krcal
parlies ran do uo husinrss with
lln* next congress or tIn* next
president. Tin* day has passed
when an individual ran do much
oil his own responsibility. Tim
iudividaul must, have a political
institution hack of him.
I am enough of ;i prophet lo
see Kreat. honors in store for
.ludtfe W'iekersham when lie leads
his pie hack lo I lie orj-ranizn
liou. .ludtrc W'iekersham is a
fr'rea! man. No man. however, is
as frreal as the organization. The
day is near hy when I lie llcpubli
caiis of Alaska will all pull to
gether I hope against a united
Democracy. It dues not make
imirh dilferenee which parly is in
power as Ioiik as the dominant
parly has the ability lo assume
Ihe responsibilities of jroxern
ineiit, which are very heavy. When
Ihe dominant parly "fudges.''
^'side-steps," "short changes" or
"four flushes" it must do pen
nance in retirement.
The law of compensation is
relentlessly applied in politics.
(J. What ahoul Tafl's chances?
A. II is a cinch. II is writ ten
clearly on the canvass of tin- fu
ture.
n. What, in your opinion. is
Alaska's great need?
A. Organization. I**>1 iI ical or
ganization. Parly organization.
Church organization. Society or
ganization. Fraternity organiza
tion. Alaskans innsl learn lo
strike and clinch together. They
have colossal wealth in their
mountains and the rarest, possi
bilities in their civilization. All
grand larceny will he punished.
Everybody will get "his" and his
own.
