mi. SURE. HE KNOWS
Rppeatio? day afier day those measly
oM chestnuts concerning the Tacoma
woman who NINETEEN YEARS AGO
confes ed herself a pe>jurer, that story
about the fourth judicial district
which S<. tutor Knute Nelson, known to
all men as "Square-head Kuute," pre
tcmlrd was the cause of his bitter and
vindictive fi^bt against the confirma
tion of Wickershatn while everybody
knows it was no such thine but some
thing much mor? personal to him;
under the amus'ng assumption that tbis
repetition by it is taken seriously and
Is making au impression in the cam
ptign, the Juneau Record has this to
say:
"There are those who will say that
Wiekersham knows nothing of what is
brine written by this paper about him
and for that reason he has made no
denial. This cannot be so, for at the
pr. sent time the sam" charges are be
in^ hurled at him in Fairbanks, etc "
Why, b'ess your unoffending soul,
surely there Is cone in Juneau so inex
perienced as to say that Judge Wicker
ah*m "knows nothing of what is being
written about him" in the Record and
that "for this^reasoa he has, made no
denial" ? surely not. Judge Wicker
sham, before he entered the campaign,
know what wou<l be written in the
Juneau Recoid about him, and knew
how impotent it would be to harm him
to the value of ONE vote. These old
chtstnuts have oecu wora threadbare
with usage and NEVER have done bim
any h >rm. Sure, he knows they are
being "hurled ut him" but he is facing
the facts of 'be NOW ss be has ever
done, and leaving ancient tielion to
those who care for it.
LET'S RUN.

, Residence, Butler
Hotel, SEATTLE.
This is a record of non-residence
which John W. Corson, canjidate for
the rieltg&teshlp to congrew Irom Alas,
ka has allowed to be placed in plain
print in the Seattle City Directory of
this current year. When Corson
authorized that statement he knew that
be was to be a candidate for tho dele
g?teshe?hip. As a lawver he must
have known that residence la Alaska
was a flrH essential, This publication
places the burden upon Mr. Corson
with extra weight to prove that he
might hold the office lawfully even
were be elected.
Corson is asking support on his
championship of territorial govern
ment, when It is known that he w s
nominated by Governor Hoggatt who
opposed to that doctrine. He is there*
fore playing false to some one? which
1 tys him open to the chargeof knavery,
liut the long Hit of blut ders committed
in this simple little bit of business ba
?ofore the people? they lay him open
to the charge of beiDg a fool. Ask any
man to choose between ? fool and
i knave and nine in ten will choose the
knave--AL7?A YS PROVIDED tho
knave bo clever. Hut the FOOL
KNAVE? Oh, lets run.
