editorial page
The standpat newspapers .ml
the standpat |M>liticiaus are making
I he statement that James Wicker-^
sham advocated the calling of non
part isan primaries to select men for
the new territorial legislature. Wej
have the uithorlty of Mr. Wicker- j
sham to absolutely deny that he !
ever advocated any such thing. Mr.
Wickershaui did say that he hoped
the people of Alaska would get to
set her and select the best nieu for
the legislature, but he never hits
I elieved and never will believe that
the people who have always oppos
ed home rule for Alaska can by
any construction be classed as "the
best qpen for the legislature.'' It
is simply absurd to believe that Mr.
Wickershani would ever ask for a
non-partisan primary which con
templated the election of men who
are opposed to the principles of
?<elf government.
In view of the recent non-partisan
caucuses, tt Is amusing to read
some of the campaign speeches
made by the Democrats during the
delegate contest. It was but a few
weeks ago that all the Democrats
were organised into a political body
striving to elect a congressional
delegate They told In glowing
oratory of the certainty of Wilson's
election, and the beneficial results
that would follow with the election
of a l>emocrat to represent Alaska.
Not a word was said about a nou
i artisan primary at that time. And
rot a word would be said today
about a non-partisan primary had
the IHrnoeratic candidate been ele^'t
. ?l
The Itemocrats in Skagway told
the voters to stick by the Demo
cratic party The Democrats in Juu
??in and in Ketchikan and in the
highways and byways all said "stiok
by the democratic candidate because
Wilson is to be elected and then
the Democrats will be in the swim
with a Democratic delegate handllug
the patronage.
But the Democrats didu't win,
and now there is a change in the
whole political program. There is
not a Democrat left, they are all
non-partisans. Nothing more is
heard about Wilson. He is forgot
ten in the indiscriminate stampede
for pie. The Democratic-Standpat
association ground is going to be
worked for all there is in it. "If
I can't get the senatorship, gimme
th" legislature" said one of them
' Giro me something." "gimme any
thing, only gimme it."
Where are the Democrats?
Where will Wilson find them
when he comes to distribute the
pie?
Where, oh! where?
Railways interested in the North
are believed to be sparring just
now for vantage in future opera
tions The resources of Yukon Ter
ritory and those along the Alaskan
border are the chief object of traf
fic. Transportation people who
have been touring the North and
others in Dawson who are Interest
Mi in the railway development are
looking forward to the outcome of
the railway agitation with no little
interest, says the News.
The Rosene road, which has been
started from Haines toward Kluane
and White river, is backed by Tor
onto capital, and is seeking to tap
the copper properties of this terri
tory, and to make connections with
a line to Fairbanks.
The proposal has been made for
an international line, to run from
Haines to the head of the White
over Canadian lands, thence down
the Tanana valley, in American ter
ritory, and possibly on westward to
ward Nome Such a road could be
made, It is said, the trunk line ot
the North, as It would be in posi
tion to drop off spurs to every
Yukon valley camp and every coast
camp of the North.
The Copper River & Northwestern
road, owned by the Ouggenhelms,
penetrates to within a few miles of
this territory, at the head of the
White, and It is said the road may
be built to the White river copper
fields in quest of tonnage. Some
think the Guggenheims anxious to
sell the line to the American gov
ernment as a basis for the pro
posed American federal railway sys
tem for Alaska. A commission is
now visiting Alaskan coast towns
to select the course for the line.
Delegate Wlckersham, of Alaska,
while here recently, said he had no
choice for the line.
The White Pass has had an en
gineer in the field this summer, vis
iting the Nordenskiold and other
copper fields, the Klondike district
and various parts of the territory,
and Financial Agent Close and
President Dickeson have been explor
ing the southern end of the terri
tory. They were in Haines and
vicinity recently. Some claim the
White Pass would like to build from
Haines and probably will do so, in
order to control all traffic to Lynn
canal by rail.
White river men now here aay
the easiest and most natural grades
from the White to tidewater will be
via Haines. Jack Dalton is said to
confirm this view.
Just what the White Pass In
tends to do in the railway construct
ion game no one here knows. Some
time ago President Dickeson talkod
of possible extension to the Yukon
Crossing. Respecting the recent
visit of Mr. Close to Haines nothing
definite is announced. He has left
Skagway for England.
