Yesterday the Alaskan said "TODAY
wo aro (nuking history that we will bo
ulea*ed to see recorded." Today the
Alaskan say i YESTERDAY we m?de
history which today wo aro pleased to
record. It has all como out exactly as
as vou and I knew it wou d because we
knew our Alaska? we knew the stuff
the people are made of, Didn't they
behave well? Rather.
There has been a lot of talking done
through all these days since tho Ketch
ikan convention and leading up to tho
business of yesterday. xr.d now that
thu business is done let us turn to our
other affairs. To attempt to pile plat
itudes upon the rugged facts of these
figures would be to obscure the simple
strength of its outlines. The people
have certified in these figures their
sentiments upon tho principles in
volved.
And the-roanner In which they went
about it a^ds vastly Jto its force. For
Instance hero in Skagway note that the
vo'e was practically unanimous in favor
of Wickersham. Of the three candi
dates figuring in the returns, Wicker
sham was the only one that was not
here to speak for himself. Of these
candidates be wao the only one that left
no money here with which to intluenco
the voting, Holh Corson and Ronan
wh?>n here arranged with persons to
represent them. It la estimated that
the 27 Corson rotes in Skagway cost
that candidate at least $60 each*.
The enemies of Wickersham spent
their time and opportunity in calling
him namos rather than In presenting
tho claims of their candidate.
What the people think of this sort of
thing, how tbey feel about the attomp'
to buy their votes, their opinion as to a
campaign of mero vituperation they
hav e expressed in the ballot box.
During the entire campaign there
was not a speech made in his behalf,
no meetings, no music, no noise? such
as won ??mphasi/.ed in the casos of both
the other candidates. The people heard
the speeches, tho mmlc, the hnlla
baloo- and at the end testified as to
what they THOUGHT about it all by
voting almost unanimously for Wicker
sham. Six citizens ot Skagwa*, at
work at Haines, came home at the cost
of boat fare and a day's work '.o vote.
Others enjoying vacitlons in the moun
tains came in. And last night, when
tho bulletin of the result was hung out
in front of the Alaskan ottice before a
large crowd of citizens there was not a
cheer or other demonstration. Those
serious men had cast their votes after
having thought it all out, the result
was as tbey had intended it should be
and that's all there was to it. It is of
such men that the governor says "they
are not ripe."
The vote of the whole dlsulct is the
same- Sitka, the former capital,
Juneau, the present capital and
the home of Governor Hoggatt;
Ketchikan, where the convention was
held that nominated Corson, Douglas
which adjoins the Treadwell mine, all
