HOW MUCH LONGER?
To cap the climax of a long career
o* abuse and misrepresentation. Gov.
W'lford B. Hoggatt has filed a wrt
ten communication at Washington in
which he asserts -'lat our d.-leg o In
< ongress, James Wickersham. was el
ected by "the saloon and Rambling
i letueuts and does uot represent the
people of Alaska."
A more false, malicious and auda
cious statement was never made.
Not only does Gov. Hoggatt deliber
ately mistake the facts but he Insults
the intelligence, the morals, and the
patriotism of "S per cent of the voter
of Alaska. Hoggatt to further his
own ends, to exploit his vain ambitio
would have the government officials
at Washington believe that the people
of Alaska are morally and mentally
unfit for self government, that we I
should be carefully kept under federa !
restraint. He would have them be-|
lieve that our towns are sinks of in
iquity; that our men are gamblers
and saloon keepers, that our wives,
daughters and sweethearts are fit con i
sorts of the habitues of the danco had
So wonder this federal satrap, this
"third rate lobbyist," is the most un
p( pular man in Alaska. No wonder
his candidate Corson was so utterly j
repudiated at the last election. Yeti
in the face of this rebuke by the]
?voters of Alaska, Hoggatt has the un
I aralleled assumption to say that
Wickersham only represents the vic
ious elements.

Heaven help us if this be true, for
th<-n a great majority of Alaska's vot
ers are wholely depraved!
Nor is this the first time that Hog
gatt has so insulted and maligned us.
Shortly after the election he said
praeticallv the same thing to a Seattl
newspaper. He whispers his vile slai
ders about the halls of congress in an
iffort to thwart our elected delegate.
He is not content to fight all legis-j
!ation that is for the best interests
of Alaska ? he must attack the char- j
r.cter of the people as well.
How much longer will Alaskans
have to endure the insufferable ar
rogance of Wilford B. Hoggatt? How
much longer must we listen to his
taunts and insults? It is an outrage
that we must be governed at all by
federal appointees ? it is a dainuable
outrage that a mau like Hoggatt can
lcrd it over us. J
UNCLE SI GOT THE PLUMS
During the year 190S J. M. Tan
r.>T recieved $1,001. 60 of the $29,501.wJ
v.hich comprised the total expendi
tures of the of Skagway. Of this a
mount $521.65 was for plumbing work
and supplies and HSO was for salary
at municipal judge. Mr. Tanner got
a fat profit off all his plumbing sup
plies and labor and he did not work
more than ten hours .1 month as mun
i? ipal judge.
There is an old and excellent adage
abo ' people in glass houses throwing
stones.
The only real issue in the present
campaign Is whether or not. Shea,
Tanner &. Co. can load the voters
like a herd of sheep. Most or 'lie
citizens ot this town have Keen througtj
the pretense of Christopher Columbus
Shea and are skeptical about the so
called "patriotism" of SI Tanner.
"Cold Storage" Johnny Grashel bus
a host of friends who will vote for
him. Johnny Grashel is known as a
"square" man and the voters and pro
perty owners of Skagway know he w ill
protect their interests a' every stage
of the game.
In a lengthy article, remarkable n
like for Us lack of logic and its
clumsy style. Si Tanner states lie is
not a candidate for the office of town
ttrsteeship. Si doesn't state he will
no' accept the office if it is tendered
him.
lloggatt is the man who said
that the voters of .Mask.; were "vtl
oonlsts and gamblers." Shea is nlso
the man who handled the Corson cam
palgn fund. Corson was lloggatt's
candidate, and opposed home . nle
A vote for E. J. Shaw is a vote)
for a good man in the right place, lie
has served five years on the council
and Shea, Tanner Co. have been
the first to attack him. A knock i?
sometimes a boost.
A Chicago woman prohibitionist j
says that women should sit on their j
husband's laps, call them honey,
and then get them to vote "right."
Tnis woman is wise all right.
The Taxpayers' platform promts, s
not to increase the tax levy but savs
nothing about keeping the assessed
valuation at the same figure. \Va>
this an over-sight?
Starting in with a balance on hand
ct more than ll'JOO the Shea adminis
tration plunged the town into more
than $-.000 of debt. Then they sp> ak
about "economy."
