IT IS WICKERSHAM"
Tbe CHARACTER of a m?n or a
newspaper nowhere stands out In such
strong o lllnes as at the hour ofdefeat?
the mannrr in which It passes through
that hour. The Alaskan here presents
an etching of the Juneau Record dr*wn
bv itself Wednesday evening in its
editorial column. Under tbe heading
"It is Wickersham,1' that paper prints
the following. Tbe Alaskan's com
ment will be ? very brief, the capital
ization? vhich is ours? will for the
most part serve. The Record says:
"It looks as if it was Wickersham by
about 400. From Nome a?d the Tan
ana reports came early last night that
made it appear that there was some
chance for Chilberg, later the cable
GAVE EOPK that by a slight majority
HE MIGHT BElELECTED. It do- s
not makt> any material difference, as
this pagf said before, if Wickersham is
elected HE CAN ACCOMPLISH
NOTHING and THE OLD FIGHT that
he went through so and suffered so bad
Iv from, WILL BE WAGED
AGAINST HIM AS SOON AS HIS EN
TRANCE INTO WASHINGTON* IS
MADE. The fight wiil be made by sen
ators and congress men who have been
deceived by Wickersham in the past
and nothing can be expected in the
way of tiood for the territory while
Wickershitn represents Alaska. As
was predicted bv this p^ge, it was those
who did not Know Wickers ham that
elected him. Southeastern Alaska is
the suction that ha-* brought the mis
fortune on the territory. In Nome aud
at Fairbanks where Wickersham was
best known, he ran verv badly, and had
he been equally ?s well known here he
would have suffered the same as he did
ins'de.
IF THE MAN HAS ANY SENSE OF
GRATITUDE HE WILL NOT FIGHT
JUNEAU FOR THE CAPITAL, FOR
IT IS TO THIS SECTION' OF ALAS
KA THAT HE OWES HIS ELEC
ION, Although, . under promise of
Retting the territorial seat, Valdez
gave him a good vote. For its own part
this |.age expects nothing from the
election of Jatnes Wickersham and
naturally the latter could not expect
anything from it. IT IS ONLY THE
BEGINNING OF THE FIGHT and be
tore the end there will be many ins and
outs to the fray."
The Record made its campaign prim
arily from within the fortress of "reg
ular" party politics. It was the point
on which Corson, in his speech here,
laid most stress?" we must elect a man
in syirpathy with the administration"
?and he went so far in this direction
as to say he wou'd advise the election
of a democrat if th? administration was
democ ;ii c But when the returns
cametu-nb'i s in that "it is Wicker
sh?m," .? ul Corson was Itnown to be
buried, then Chtlberg. who had been
called "socialist " who is the nominee
of the Western Federation of Miners
thjt th- Record has been fighting so
bard, then Chilberg assumed the guise
of a JOPE in the eves of the Record.
In this country it is the part of good
citizenship, however stoutly the
citizen may light while the battle is on,
to accept the expressed will of the
people. But the vindictive hatred of
the Record for JuJge Wickersham
personally pisses such bounds. Be
cause we thought him the mtti who
could do the thiols wo wanted dour
we elected Judge Wickersham deleita'.e,
bat the Rwcord hope* bo will full 10 ac
complish any thine aud declares
Its Intention of fighting him? so
that it mar have the joy of so
lag him fail. It Is already counting;
on the aislstance of certain senators
and representatives in opposing bis
efforts in our behalf. What manner of
citizen is this? Another line and wi
shall ?ee. Id the very same breath the
Record whines: "If the man hus any
sense of gratitudo he will not tight Ju
neau for the capital, for it is to this
section of Alaska that he owes his elec
tion."
Since the invention of printing has
there been another such pitiful spec
tacle? At the close of a campaign
wherein every method and resourse
known to the unscrupulous was em
ployed to secure his defeat, and that
failing, Governor Hoggatt's paper cries:
"If the man has any gratitude he will
not tight Juneau."
THE JUNEAU RECORD CONFESSES ON
BEHALF OF CORSON
The "Special cable to the Record,'*
sent out from this city for the purpose
of impeding on the vote>sof Juneau and
which was reprinted in The Al&skau last
evening for the entertainment of its
readers, the Record? sets down in et Id
type a confession of that which has
been denied all through the campaign
but which of course everybody under
stood?everybody but furr ier Governor
Swineford. F'ur his benefit this much
of the cablegram is here reprinted:
[Special Cable to Daily Record.]
SKAGWAY, Aug. 8.? This city was
astonished Inst night when the Daily
Alaskan, ONE OF THE MOST RABID
OF HOME RULE PAPER IN THE
TERRITORY and the o;ily paper iD
southeastern Alaska that has gone to
extreni' s in opposing the administra
tion of Governor (Ioggau, came out
with a double-column ten-inch boost for
John W. Corson, the republican nom
inee for delegate.
Perhaps we should make it very plain
to Governor Swineford. When the
D^lly Alaskan "oie of the most rabid
of home ru'e papers in the territory,'
is thus charged with selling out to Ccr
son, ibe language has no other manning
than that it is SELLING OUT THAT
PRINCIPLE. Is it plain to you, gov
ernor? But yourcommeat upon the
attitude of the Alaskan in this cam
paign, meant to be uncharitable, is
quite correct. The Alaskan hates a
man who assumes the role of champion
of the people that he may BETRAY
the people.
The eastern papers convey the rather
Interesting information that the H. C.
Frick Co., the fuel end of the great
steel corporation has placed orders with
employment agencies for men to worn
in the Conu^llsvillecoal and co.k fle d*,
qualified by the requirements that only,
Americans, or men who have at least
been residents of the United States a
certain number of years, are to be furn
ished. It is said many ' corporation*
have taken this same stand, though it
is doubted ifThey will be able to main
tain it when a revival of business cre
a'es the demand !or labor there was a
couple of years ago. It is pleasing,
however, to note this disposition in
favor of the American working man.
