METHODS OF THE OPPOSITION
I
I
Ttu? extravagant claim of railroad
contractor Honey that Delegate Wick- !
ersham is opposing the Guggenheim*
because he was not favored at one
time, recalls a bit of history during
the last delegate election campaign
A OnanciaJ agent of the Guggs. well
known as a former public official in
Alaska, and later as a lobbyist of the
big interests made a hurried trip to
Nome, arriving a day before the date
of the delegate election. This repre
sentative of the Guggs had been ad
vised while in Seattle that Wicker
sham was going to win the election.
Hi* trip to Nome was either to buy
Wickersham out of the race by repay
ing him his expenses or securing from
him a promise of support for the
tlugg lineup. Word was stmt to WickV
trsham to see the Uugg agent. After
a conference with his political man
ager Wickeraham sent back word he
had nothing to talk over with the
Gugg agent and ail idea of a confer
ence was off. Then the word went
from the Gugg agent to uncork the
barrel and to beat Wickersham at all
odds. As a result Honey and other
Uugg agents made their greatest ef
fort. At Cordova nine hundred voters
were bunched like cattle and an effort
made to elect Corson. This same
agent put up the money for the young
man filing the proxies of the Shackle
tord delegation at the Chicago conven
(Ion and Is no doubt the master hand
handing out the coin to the fat lobby
now at work at Washington.
In view of these facts these Guggen
heim agents should be careful how
they attack a man whom they tried to
buy out of the delegate race and
whose record is clean at Washington.
Their abuse of a man for being politi
cally honest will avail them nothing
and only cause a complete exposure
of their political methods. ? Juneau

Editor Pioneer Presa: ?
Believing that a word of commenda
tlon would not be out of place, 1
u laxly in referenc to Legislation re
lating to Alaska.
This leads me to speak of the fight
1b congress over the question of a
llahed the doings of Congress, pp.rtlc
Terrltorlal Legislature and home rule
for Alaska. What kind of home rule
would It be for Alaska, to have a leg
islative Council, a majority of whom
are appointed by the President of the
United States? They would be men
sent here from other states, and whil
they would probably be good men in
Uielr own states, would very likely
be unfit for this country, and totally
selves to its conditions until after
they had been here three or four
years.
Alaska wants a legislature com
posed of Alaskans, elected by the
people of Alaska: nren who understan
the conditions here and who have the
interests of Alaska and her people at
unable to understand and adapt them
heart, and not men sent here from
other states, who know nothing
interest in Alaska or her people.
It is urged by those opposed to a
Territorial Legislature, that it would
be corrupted by the powerful corpo
rations. If that be a good argument
against home rule for Alaska, the
whatever about us, and can have no
MBt argument could be used against
having an elective legislature in ever
state in the Union.
They seem to forget, that the peo
pie of Alaska, are made up of thoso
who have come here from other
States; the sturdy men and women
who have cut loose from their homes
In the States and have come here
to open up and develop this Northern
country, and know as much about the
workings aud duplicity of the power
ful corporations as they do In the
states and would not be controlled by
them to any greater extent, than
they are In other places.
On the other hand, is there not
danger of a legislative council ap
pointed by the President being cor
rupted by these powerful corpora
tions? And If not, why not? And if 1
they were so corrupted, then what? 1
The people of Alaska would have
no power to remedy the ovil If that
should be the case with a Legislative
council appointed by the President,
legislature.
The question seems to be just this.
Ar * the people of Alaska competent
to govern themselves? i think they
are. They are nearly all American
citizens, born and raised In the Unit
ed States, and that people have dem
onstrated the fact that they are com
petent to govern themselves, and have
become one of the great nations of th
earth.
All we want is an opportunity to
prove by demonstration that we can
run Alaska with credit to ourselves
and honor to our beloved United
States.
