vyk kersham PLEASED
WITH ALASKA PLANK
(Alaska Weekly.)
Smiling, urbane and, withal, as
virile as ever, the Hon. Janies Wicker
sham, who is in Seattle en route to
Alaska, dropped into the office of the
Alaska Weekly one day this week
with his son, D. P. Wickersham, of
San Francisco, who>, came north to
join his distinguished father for a few
days’ visit in Seattle. Judge Wicker
sham, who, with Mrs. Wkkersham, is
a guest, of the Frye Hotel during his
Seattle sojourn, attended the Repub
lican national convention on his way
west from Washington, D. C., and
was highly pleased with the plank in
the party platform which reads: “We
tavor tne policy oi giving ine people
of Alaska the widest possible self
government and selection so far as
possible of hona fide residents for po
sitions in that Territory, .and, the plac
ing of its citizens on an equality with
those of theseveralStates-”
Judge Wickersham will go north
early in July to take up the cudgels
for re-election as Delegate to Con
Alaska. “While I have been far from
satisfied,” said the Judge, “with the
appropriations, for the Territory; and
with some oter legislation and „ de
partmental rulings,, no., on* .caft. suc
eessfully combat tendencies which
result from times such as > these
through which we are passing. About
all.-J :cqu!v do was to register my ob
jections as forcefully as possible,, and
then abide by.results with such good
grace as I rould muster.”
“Fighting Jim,” through, the sum
mer and fall months, will make his
headquarters at his home in Juneau,
and it is anticipated that he will
make a rather extensive tour of the
Territory, visiting his constituents in
the various districts, consulting with
his party leaders and .explaining to
the general public his work in Wash
ington during his past term and.those
things he expects to accomplish for
the Territory, when ,re-etectg<V as > he
confidently expects to be. Secretary
W. A. Steel, who is thoroughly fa
miliar with congress tonal snddfepwrt
mental- circles in Washington, will
keep the Delegate’s; office open daring
his absence and will be'ready to bam
die efficiently any Alaskan interests
requiring attention.
ROOSEVELT STARTS ON
HIS CAMPAIGNING TOUR
COLUMBUS, O.—Governor Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, Democratic candi
date for the presidency, opened his
road campaign here today, in an ad
dress delivered before 25,000 persons.
The Governor was accompanied to the
stadium by former Governor James
Cox and Newton D. Baker. The Gov
ernor was introduced by Cox.
Roosevelt met the Republican chal
j lenge for an economic program by
[demanding governmental supervision
j of stock selling, and more stringent
banking laws for the “great mass of
average American men and women
who have been forgotten by those in
power." Hammefing the Republican
theor ythat the government aid busi
ness, Roosevelt charged that the de
pression began with unbridled specu
lation which spread, to Europe and
continued because the Hoover admin
istration refused to recognize and
correct the evils of delayed relief*
forgot reform. Roosevelt reminded
Hoover he promised “continued pros
perity.” Roosevelt suggested as rem
edies the preventon of issuance of
manufactured, unnecessary securities j
brought out and merely enriching i
those who handle the sale of legiti- ]
mate securities; tell uses to which
money may be put; Federal regula
tion of holding companies; selling, se
curities; interstate commence? gov
ernment regulation ..of 'exchanges;
business; buying and selling securi
ties and commodities t more rigid su
pervision of national .banks and pro
tection of depositors; proposal to pre-i>
vent the use of bank deposits for
| speculation,, as detrimental. to: local i
credit; separation of investment and;
commercial banking.it rcstHctio4'-^i
Federal reserve hahks, in acmrdanst
with original plans; .prevention of of
ficials of the next administration
from influencing stock and. bond
prices by word or deed.
He said the present administration
too often issued statements with no
relation to scientific’ information j
shaking public confidence.
■■ The “restored confidence and ac
tions and statements^hy'execBtive^aue
thonty is indispensable. The G. O. P.
administration risked -live*,. property
and the welfare of the people^ through
their policy- of disastrous govern
mental > speculation.’'; ’ RcjjOseveU- as
serted his economic remedial's meas
ures were bated on “telliftg thei>fcruth. ‘
Roosevelt regretted that i he’ was
forced to criticise Republican , leader
ship and its: policies, but “to build we
must first clear grounds” “We must
get back to first principles; we must
make American individualism what. it
I was intended to be, equality and op
portunity-for all; the right: of ex*
ploitation for none.” i”

Replying to Roosevelt’s reference
to foreign bond sales, the State De
partment asserts that ."it never ap

Snell declared -that ..Roosevelt had ;
“many of his facts wrong, employed!
unfair use of spokem words and!
showed congenial inability to think
clearly. The amazing fact is that all
these reforms could have been initi
ated by Roosevelt in-, his own State

NEW RACKET OF ENFORCE
MEN.T OFFICIAL, ANCHORAGE
(Anchorage Times.).1
The liquor cases which developed
this week as the result of raids con
ducted by. Prohibition Officer Fillmore,
numbering four in all, were disposed
of by United . States Commissioner
jThomas C.. Price by imposing fines
on the. .defendants when they entered
pleas of guilty before him yesterday.
Mrs. Links and Joe Flowers were
(ined $250 each and Mr. and Mrs. Bore
yer, who were charged with posses
sion .in a joint .complaint, were as
sessed $350. The. first of the cases
was disposed of in a. similar manner
the previous day.
- Evidence in the cases was obtained
.in a manner, somewhat new to An
chorage. . The prohibition officer is
said to have engaged the. services of
•an undercover pian to purchase the
liquor, and on.th..estrftngth of such
purchases the officer obtained search
warrants without revealing the,.name
of th einformer. This has led to the
suspecting of. several persons as being
the .informer and is causing the sus
pected persons considerable . embar
rassment.
The procedure was. for the officer to
send his assistant into a suspected.
place, first assuring himself that he
did not haye any liquor.,qb his persan,
or any money except that given him
to make the desired, purchase When .
the informer returned to the officer
With the “evidence” he was again
searched to, make sure that he had
spent the money given him.
MERITED PRAISE.
(Stroller’s Weekly.)
The .recent honors bestowed upon
Commissioner of Education W. K.
Keller by, the foremost educators of
America should be a matter of pride
to all Alaska residents, who should
realize theiij good fortune in securing,
a man of this ability to manage their
school system. Mr. Keller is ac
knowledged. as one of several, thou
sand foremost educators in the United
States. He has done much, for the.
schools of Alaska, and has yet much
to do, as it takes years to familiarize
one with a district as large as Alaska.

PAN-AMERICAN. AIRWAYS
TELLS OF PLANS FOR NORTH
° NEW YORK.—Officials .of the Pan
American Airways have announced
their personnel drawn drawn from
the southern international lines are
en route, to . Alaska to take r over* con
solidate and expand the. Alaskan Air
ways, recently purchased from the
American: Airwaps.
Beginning September 1, the Alaska
lines will be operated as the Pacific
‘Alaska Airways, Inc., a subsidiary of.
the Pan-American Airways..
“We acquired these lines,” the an
nouncement stated, . “because, the
geologicaLii peculiarities of Alaska
make it especially suited to the. Pan
American system. Methods used on
the southerrc international lines have
solved 'almost identical problems.
More than 4300,000 has been invested
„n, -anriati/m. hui the method*
used during the two years of opera
tion have not been completely success
ful. It is planned to coordinate and
unify the Alaska routes, maintaining
the -type of transportation essential
to the. .future development of . the
Territory.” '
The company believes that Alaska’s
industries, providing commerce to the
United States of $83,000,000 annual
ly, and tte tourist trade, bringing
36,000 people there annually, “will
expand rapidly if provided with ade
quate transportation.”
It is believed that regular sched
ules maintained throughout the year
will solve Alaska’s transportation
problem*.: As ■ safeguards to ah
travel, the company plans to install
two-way radio stationsh—ufk6 bgkq
