No. 311. ELEVENTH YEAH.
SKAKWAY. ALASKA. MONDAY APB1L B, 1909 PRICE, 1<> CENTS
In Plain Language Our
Chief Executive Is Told
To Return To Alaska=
Decision Is Victory For
Delegate Wickersham.
(United Press Telegraph-Cable Service.)
WASHINGTON. D. C. April 3? Sec
retary of the Interior, Richard Bal
linger, today issued an official order
notifying Gov. Wilford B. Hoggatt
that he must return to Alaska and at
tend to his official duties.
The order becomes effective at one
but Gov. Hoggatt is allowed to remain
one week in Washington to wind up
his affairs and also because he has an
infant daughter, whom it is not advis
able to move just at presents Hog
gatt was also granted a five day's
stay in New York city.
Gov. Hoggatt was ordered to leave
Washington and return to Alaska on
March 22nd. With his usual assump
tion he at once applied for a three
month's leave of absence from Alaska
so to at he might remain in Washing
ton. The department took this under
consideration and refused to allow it.
HOGGATT OPPOSES DELEGATE
Hoggatt has been governor of Alas
ka for three years and has spent mos
of his time in Washington, D. C., op
posing the work of the elected dele
gate of Alaska and seeking to further
his own particular interests. Time
and time again the people of Alaska
protested against this unseemly con
duct, but nothing was done until
Delegate Wickersham arrived on the
scene and discovered an order that
had been issued by the Secretary of
the Interior ordering Gov. Brady to
leave Washington.
Wickersham demanded that this ap
ply to Gov. Hoggatt* and his request
was so just that it was granted. Thi
probably ends Gov. Hoggatt's domina
tion of the affairs and appointments
of Alaska. Coming as it does immed
iately after Gov. Hoggatt had filed a
writterf communication stating that
Wickersham was elected by the '"sal
oon and gambling interests" it is a
well meiSted rebuke to our chief ex
ecutive.
