Dtrelapmuti Ahead.
(Anchorage Times.)
The announcement of Delegate Dan
S&itherland , of .his intention to retire
fronv.office at the end of his present
termriwill come aa a surprise to Aias
kaaacgftuerally„tha.majority of whom
wens joflfident’tthat he' would be a
candidate for. renomination in the
April primaries; and there are many
in the Territory who will receive the
announcement with genuine regret.,
To them it means the passing from
public life of a warm, personal friend
whose official duties were never so
arduous that he could not devote »
part of his attention to. the small af
fairs of his constituents.
The announcement .will: bring new.
confidence to the opposing: party and
it will remove all restraint .from Jte
pubicaxv aspirants wte long.have been
awaiting; a favorable opportunity to
cast thair hats~ into., the political,
arena.. .It is said that James Wicker
sham is ambitious fosge. to Washing
ton as the. Territory’s representative,
and that*. Attorney General John
Rustgarddnay also be a candidate for
the RapfrBcan nomination now that
Delegate Sutherland is definitely out.
of thgcway; and word comes from
Fairbanks that the Fourth division
hft&a prospective . candidate in the
person of Harry Donnelley, who was
•; member of the lower house of the
1929 legislature. Whether these re-'
Pprts are true or not, there is reason
to believe that opposing factions will
not permit the Republican* nomination'
to. go uncontented, in which event the'
primary may have interesting devel
opmeata, with, the Democrats, as
* mmmm
usual,, reserving their strength for
the regular election in November.
Mr. Sutherland Retires.
( Valdez Miner.)
There will be many persons in
Alaska who will read with regret that
Mr. Sutherland wil not be a candidate
for re-election as Delegate to Con
gress from Alaska, and that feeling
of s adnegs will not be particularly
ameliorated, ,we believe, by the an
nouncement that , James Wickersham
and John Rustgard will seek to suc
ceed Mr. Sutherland.
If both of these candidates enter
the primaries, one of . them is bound.,
to be eliminated, and if we were .in
dined to wager a little coin..of .thev
realm on the outcome of ,tha primary ,
election we would place our money on.
Rustgard to win the nomination, al
though we believe that, if .John must
have a . political job,, the. office of . At
torney General for the Territory,
which he. now.holds, is nearer his cal
iber than that of Delegate.
Of .course, we haws got to have a.
representative in Congress, and while,
we are making the selection let us
make a good one, and to this end we
would respectfully inquire, Why not
SSenator A. J. Dimond’
We do not know whether or noot
Senator Dimond has had scores of let-t j
ters from all oyer the Territory urg-,
ing him to step into the breach and'
save the country, as Mr. Rustgard
and Mr. Wickersham have, but we do
believe he is about. the best candi
date we could select.
