THAT DEAR OLD SCANDAL TRICK
The Hoggatt newspapers are to be expected to resort to
any old thing to elect their man, Corson. The temper of
the tory that does not trust the people is to be seen trail
ing through the whole campaign. With the same effront
ery that they declare the district to be not ripe, that the
governor openly declares it is for him to say who shall
build railroads and who shall not in this country, they put
forth stuff through their newspapers that lacks all but the
color of truth and expect the innocent, unripe people to be
pleased and satisfied.
Mr. Corson bought the Fairbauks news and in its first
issue under its new management covered the entire first
page with telegrams dated at Skagway, Valdez, Nome and
all other points where people live in Alaska, in which it
was represented that they each aud all were about solid for
their man. These representations of telegrams were all
written in the News office. The silly expedient represents
the breadth and depth of their understanding of politics.
To elect their man ig the whole thing. "The people/" ?
they are a joke ? THEY are to be exploited ? that is what
they are for ? they are not ripe. Having been fooled with
a platform made to please them, with false statements of
every character, about their man and the people, led by
these false representations to cast their votes tor their man
and elect him ? what might be expected then^ That the
people would be laughed at and fooled some more. But of
course nothing of the kind could result from such methods
in this country. It is Governor Hoggatt and Mr. Corson
who are being fooled ? fooling themselves. They are un
aware that the people can think ? that they themselves do
uot constitute the sum of the intelligence of the district.
And it will take them a long time to learn ? but there will
be a first lesson on August 11. ?
As a part of this sort of campaigu it was to be expected
that this conscienceless press would undertake to use the old
scandal which was made for a similar purpose early in
Judge Wickersham's life and which has been employed in
each and every encounter since by his political enemies.
Here it will fail as it failed in the original instance and has
failed in every iustance since? although the joy of using it
seems never to abate with the scandal mongers. As it is
being repeated now only the mere color of the truth is em
ployed. that which is told soberly as fact being the baldest
of lies. It is true that a woman went into court years ago
and secured the conviction of Judge Wickersliam on a
charge of seduction. Afterward that same woman mad^
affidavit that her story was false and the ease was dismissed.
The prosecuting attorney in that case has, over his own
signature, testified his belief that the story of the woman
as first told was false aud that it was a case of malignant
politics. This old story, twisted out of shape then as now,
was used in the attempt to unseat Judge Wickersliam and
President Roosevelt weut all through the evidence and then
stood behind Judge Wickersliam year after year against all
his enemies.
The same press also tells the people that Judge Wick
ersham's confirmation was denied in the senate because of
his dishonesty on the bench ? well knowing, as they must,
that the charge of dishonesty was never raised by his bit
terest enemy during the whole campaign against him. He
tried eases continually for many years in this district
wherein fortunes were at stake day by day. and that he was
perfectly honest throughout is proven by his poverty to
day ? poverty which is admitted by this same Hoggatt press
and which does not hesitate to taunt him with it. Neither
the old scandal or any other trick will avail against the
known worth, energy, ability and integrity of Judge Wick
ersham in this controversy, for the people CAN think, and
ARE ripe to take care of their own affairs.

THE INJUNCTION PLANKS
Nothing In tho platform of the two
| parties has been so much talked about
us the so-called Injunction planks.
Both committees were equally rnttled
I over the construction of these blanks
i because of their Influence upon the
I l?bor vote. A comparison should be
; interesting, so here they are, presented
' together.
This Is the republican plank:
Tho republican party will uphold at
all times the authority and Integrity of
of the courts, state and federal, and
will ever insist that their powers to on
force their process and to protect life,
llb-rty and property, shall be (.reserved
Inviolate. We believe, however, that
the rules of procedure in the federal
courts with respect to the Issuance of
I the writ of injunction should be more
accurately defined by stUite and that
no injunction or temporary restraining
order should be issued without notice,
j except where irreparable injury would
result from delay, in which case a
speedy hearing thereafter should be
granted.
And this Is the democratic:
The courts or justice are tno ouiwarK
of our liberties and wc vield to none in
our purpose to maintain their dignity.
Our party has given to the bench a
long Hue of distinguished judges, who
have added to the respect and confi
dence in which this department must
be jealously maintained. We resent
the attempt of the republican party
to raise a false issue respecting the
judiciary. It is an unjust reflection
upon a great body of our citizens to
assume that they lack respect for the
courts.
It is the function of the courts to in
terpret the laws which the people cre
ate. and if the laws appears to work
economic, social and political injustice
it is our duty to change them. The
only basis upon which the integrity cf
our courts can btand is that of unswerv
ing justice and protection of life, per
son al liberty and properly. If judicial
processes should be abused wo should
guard them against abuse.
Experience has proven the necessity
of a modification of the present law
relating to injunctions, and we reiter
ate pledge of our national platforms of
1890 and 1904 in favor of the measure
which passed the United States senate
in 1896, but which a republican con
gress has ever since refused to enact,
relating to contempts in tederal courts
and providing for trial by jury in cases
of indirect contempt.
Questions of judicUl practice have
arisen especially in connection with
industrial disputes. We deem that the
parties to all judicial proceedings
should be treated with rigid Impartial
ity, ?nd that injunctions should not be
issued in any c?ses in which injunctions
would not issue if no industrial disputes
were involved.
What do you suppose t he people of
Pennsylvania would say to the governor
of Pennsylvania if the governor of
Pennsylvania would say to the people
of Penrsylvunia that be intended to
sue to it that there would be no compet
itors In Pennsylvania against the Penn
sylvania railroad. And the people of
Pennsylvania rather like the Pennsyl
vania railroad, too,? but what do you
think they'd say V
