For fifteen long years the demo

ed the republicans to disregard!

an elective government Aside from
a band of pie-hunting friends who
ntshrine the picture of the republi
can president, whoever he may be.'
as an tncon for worship and who
believe salvation means a federal aj>
??ointment. whether it be a judge
ship or ail opportunity to warm J
themselves by the stove of a jail
guardroom, the republicans of Alas
ka have given no hoed to party
politics The republicans were In
lull power during all these long
years but they never asked Governor
Swlneford as to his politics when
as candidate for delegate he receiv
ed about all the voles In South
eastern Alaska How often have
republicans considered I>ad !???
laney's politics while he was lead-,
ing the cause of the |>eoplc in this
division?
Now conies Mr Jennings, the
"regular." and Mr Harrais, the
steam-rolb red democratic nomlnei>s
proclaiming that the salvation of
the territory demands the eleclion
of a democrat, and explains that
a democrat will ho more effective
in the halls of congress than an>
unattached leader of his territon
regardless of his ability, populatity.
learning and nation-wide reputation
James Wickersham requires no
introduction anywhere on the Pa
cific Coast. Who is Mr Jennings?
What figure has he ever cut in the
affairs of the territory? When, be
fore his candidacy, has lie ever lift
ed his voice or made a pen scratch j
in advocacy of home rule for Ala?- j
ka? When, before his candidacy,1
has he ever even attended a meet
ing to further the cause of the ter-j
ritory, and w hat part, how ever min- j
ute. has he ever taken in public,
or civic affairs?
A territorial delegate has 110,
vote He can't make trades in
caucus because he has nothing to,
trade so his party affiliations count
hint nothing. The territorial dele
Kate, of all congressional represen
tatives, must most rt-lv upon his
brains, jwrsonality, ability, aggress
iveness, industry, persistency, cour
age and last, but perhaps not
least, experience. James Wicker
sham is widely known to have all
these qualifications in a marked de
gree. Why trade him for a conun
drum because such conundrum is a J
minute attachment to the tail end
of the kite of a party the personnel
whereof imagines it is about to '
come into unlimited and permanent
power. There may be many a slip j
between that power and something
else and to elect Jennings would be :
risking the having of a conundrum j
without affiliations.
