POLITICAL SPECULATION OF THE MO-j
MENT
Under the head of "Politicians Spec
ulatiuk.'" the Juneau Dikuatch (demo
cratic , ruaks the followin? compre
hensive and timely review of the politi
cal sl.uation of the present rather tease
moment:
' Until the full details of the Wicker
sham campaign is made publio there is
much speculation as to its scope. That
Calc has decided that he Is making a
losing flcht against Hoggatt at Wash
ington and is urging Wickersham to
i uo is generally accepted. Cale is no
doubt sore at the governor blocking
him last winter and will no doubt sup
port Wickersham on the stump. That
Nome has framed up with Fairbanks*
there is litt'e doubt. As far as can be
ascertained there has not beec a single
cable from the interior to possible
Wickersham supporters in Juneau ask
ing th*.r opinion of hiscbtnces This
siows conclusively that the Nome
Kalr backs line up simply figured out
that Wickersham couid draw a good
vote in the first division and therefore
no particular attention was paid this
section. This was the same proposition
when Cale ran two years ago. The in
terior aji Nome cired little or nothing
about having th; Grst in the prelin in
ary line up as lone as Nome and the
Tanao* was right.
"James McCloakey, manager for Ro
nan, andUtias. Wells, manager torCoi
aon' boih acknowledged that the candi
dacy of Wickertham put ano her ?s
psct upon thing's a:id that- he was a
strong man, but expect their candidates
to win.
"The democrats hare been very sa- -
gnine of electing Rjntn bat many con
sidered that the race was close between
Konan and Cale * .th Corson running ?
ba>i third. Tne strange {'art of th?
Cale matter is the fact that there is cot
a let:er or cablegram in Juaeau from
Cale urging anyone to support him and
no one knows for sure if he ia a c indi
dato for re-election. Therefore it is no
surprise tbnt he will withdraw and
support Wickersham.
"In the first division John P. Clum is
uo* known and it is doubtful if he gets
a single vot?.

found the regular republicans lined up
for Cale. It is true tint he had Chris
Shea, but that wis another instance of
the Corson sack holder. Even at that
Chris sort of grumbled that he had been
made a sucker of at Ketchikan and the
boys were getting wits.
"One party who was with Calo made
several pemarks that Corson was loved
for hi* cleanup at Nomo and be was
v-jry much disgusted. For this reason
thare wou u be little surprise if Corson
quit the deleg to r'ce this week or
text."
THE GOOD OLD DEMOCRACY
The pres? agoiA of Judge Gray, can
didate for the democratic nomination
for the prtsidenj. , es a_ resume of a
loog statement of the thingi he stands
for and as makiog clear why he, rather
than somebody else, should be elected to
the highest office in the land, says:
Judge Gray makes no bone* of saving
that ha Is opposed to the retention oi
the Philippines aud is anxious to give
tne Islanders their independence as soon
as they can manage thcniselver. He is
(or the fullest measure of religious lib
erty; stands for a free press, the exclu
sion of the Chinese and reciprocity
between the Uuited States and the
powers of the world; and is against
ship subsidies and all other kinds of
subsidies first, last and all the time.
This is a peculiarly democratic docu
ment and illustrates better than CJUld
A library of books how this is not the
m in for the important job. That a man
should, in this twentieth contury, de
clare that he is in favor of religious
liberty and a free press is enough. He
might have gone on and taken up our
time further in telling us he is in favor
of the tea commandments aud Against
human slavery. On the live issues,
such as the Phillipines and ship subsidy
his attitude is backward. Tho other
issues that he stands for are all republi
can doctrine. Better Bryan and ultra
radicalism than a dead issue. While
we journey through life let us live by
tho way.
LOOK OUT ? BEWARE, BEWARE
You want to look out now and let the
fire department enjoy itself on the
Fourth of July. If you don't look out
the fire department uiay have to work
oo that glad day. There is always a
lot of excitement abou'. a rou.ting lire
but it is too expensive aud, besides, t^e
town h?s already subscribed its money
for a certain prescribed program to be
palled off in the regular way. We
know how we wish tc celebrate the
Fourth au<l hr.r j made up the program
accordingly. A misplaced fire cracker
and this program may be set aside and
the populace required .o give its Whole
attention to putting out a fire that may
be won't be put out. Then we may be
required to send down to the fort for
some tents in which to live for the bal
ance of the summer. The parade and
the ball games and the other sports
will provide all the entertainment we
need oa the Fourth. Look out, there
fore, lest your little fire cracker kindle
a great matter.
At loast Mr. Hearst knows now that
he was aot elicted mayor of New
York. There is a lot of satisfaction In
KNOWING a thing.
THE MERRY HEART GOES ALL THE WAY
(By Margaret S?ngster.)
When you come to a wearisome bit of
the ro id
Where the stones arc thick and the
path is steep,
And the back is bowed with the heft of
the load,
As the narrowing way is hard to
keep,
Don't stop just then with a wasteful
sigh.
But challonge the worst with
steadfast cheer;
If nowhere else there 's help on high
God's angel will hasten your pioneer.
Lot's mako tho Fourth a really glor
lous Fourth. Let'? h?vo really at
tractive lion's in the Hoc aud let's har
the several divisions filled out in num
bers. It requires ooly interest and ec
thusiaitu to do thi* ? to make a gooi
show that we will all be proud of.
