A SI6N OF THE TIME
Tbe defeat of Theodore Bell la Cali
fornia is not a very strong harbinger cf
a coming Bryan conquest. Bell It one
of the most popular men-among-men In
California. He served a term In con
gress from a republican district and ac
complished an astonishing lot of prac
tical legislation for his state for a tyro.
He made friends on both si*les of th9
house every day he was there and was
a man marked for a future. They say
of him down in California that if he
was a republican in politic* he could
have just anything he might want in
that republican state. But ho is not
only not a republican but is a radical
Bryan democrat, was temporary chair
man of the Bryan national coonrention.
In the primaries he has been defeated
by Gavin McNab for the leadership of
the party in the state ? Gavin McXab,
who became a wheel horse of the party
a dozen years ago and has never risen
above that point until now he is chosen
against the brilliant young Bryanite.
You may be sure it was'nt Bell but
Bryan that brought about his defeat in
hie own party.
THE RETURNS FROM WHITtHORSE
Whitehorse Star: The result of
the Alaska congressional election
and Wickersham's majority of
upward one thousand votes is grati
fying to all who have known "Jim"
Wickersham for 20 years as has the ed
itor of the Star. Wickersham is a
Lood fellow and we congratulate him.
Corson is a good fellow and we extend
to him our distinguished commisera
tion.
Wickersham's election was not due
to his "almighty" popularity. Corson's
defeat was not due to his unpopularity.
He was not unpopular. His defeat was
due to the fact that he was the candi
date of Governor Eloggatt and undoubt
euiy nux jjan is tne most unpufuiar
man in Alaska. He is a ruislit of the
rankest kind and Corson's defeat
and Wickersham's election constitute
a direct slap in the face o.' Hoggatt
from the free-born voters of Alaska.
w. t\ Thompson, the irrepressible,
who has had a hand in about every news
paper in the north one way or another,
who went into Fairbanks iu 1906 with
the greatest plant of that newspaper
ridden country, ts now publishing the
Tanana Miner, at Ridgetop Cross
roads, Tanana district, Vol. 1 No. 5 of
which, has just come to town. It is
advocating the candidacy of Judge
Wickersham in thjt virile fashion
characteristic of its editor.
InitsPfTort to elect Corson, the Ju
neau Record printed a lleing telegram
under a Skagway date in which it con
fessed in cold type that Corson was op

posed to territorial government. And
the Juneau Record, being Governor
Hoggatt's own property, can speak on
this subject with authority.
The more returns we get the bigger
grows the voto for NVickersham and the
wider the breach Between him and Cor
son. Corson has now dropped back
among the "also rans." Chllberg, the
unknown miner from Nome, is now the
"othercandidate."
What mockery it must be to Edward
to be kissing old Josef with those beau
tiful women strewing (lowers in his
way.
