Washington, July 17.? Government
Bxpert? arc about to loRin a vigorus
war on patent medicines.
Since last evening the political atmosphere in Alaska 1?
has cleared wonderfully. .Judge Wickersham is a candidate t]
for the delegateship. With the definite withdrawal of Mr. t<
Cale and the definite candidacy of Judge Wickersham the a
way has become plain, there is now a straight fight on, the h
lines are drawn and the contest is unembarrassed in any i*
way. It remains only for the friends of progressive govern- li
merit in Alaska to get behind the man who stands for that. tl
.Judge Wickersham has announced his platform in plain, un- r
equivocal fashion and there is no Alaskan to doubt that he w
I (
will work in Washington with that vigor and success that =
characterized him on the bench, to fulfill his pledge. It is a
square contest ? no equivocation. Every man may cast his
ballot knowing just what it means. If he favors the dom
ination of Governor Hoggatt, if he likes the supercilious
treatment that he gets from Governor Hoggatt, if lie he- a
lieves that he (the voter) is not ripe to manage his political
airairs and prefers that Governor Hoggatt shall have all the
say as to what is good for him, if he is pleased to be classed n
with dive-keepers just because he has an opinion of his own, p
then he will vote for Governor Hoggatt 's candidate. "
If he wants his OWN wishes carried out, if he wants a
strong, vigorous, intelligent and capable man to represent
him at the Capital ot the natiou, one who is not
afraid and not easily discouraged, who is resourceful in
meeting opposition, one who can be trusted to do the thing
he says he will do, then he (the voter) will cast his ballot
for Judge Wickersham. There you are. That's the issue.
Which will you have ?
