CORDOVA cast 925 votes. Now what
do you know about that? Do you honestly
think there are 925 ALASKANS working on
Mr. Guggenheim's railroads at $2-50 per?
Do you think so? Well, 70 (f of these voters
(?) went up to the polls and cast their ballots
AGAINST Wickersham. The majority
* FOR Wickersham, thai fell to him naturally
in all parts ot the district not bossed by these
corporations, is nothing like so much of a
compliment as this vote AGAINST HIM.
past in the corporation-controlled towns.
YOU, Mr. Alaskan, feel that to be true, don't
you?
What do jou think of that dear old Ketchikan where
the convention was held that nominated Corson, where all
the enthusiasm was displayed for the "regular" nominee
aud the money spent ? and where also the whole town
was witness of the methods by which the nomination was
brought about* Ketchikan cast 170 votes of which Wicker
sham was given 7S, being 38 above the next highest man
who, again, was Chilberg. Corson was almost oveilooked,
getting the lowest vote cast, 17. Ronan, got 3,r>. That is
a commmunity that is "ripe," certainly.*
In Juneau, the home of Governor Hoggatt, the place
of publication of Governor Hoggatt's newspaper, the Ju
neau Record, where that newspaper played upon local fears
aud predjudices by printing across the face of its seven-col
umns width everyday a declaration that "A vote for Wick,
erssham is a vote for capital removal, "the voters of Juneau
crave Wickersham 184, and Corson but 117. The vote of
Corson, Roman and Chilberg combined totaled only five
more than Wickersham V total vote. This is a country to
be proud of.
Douglas, the residence section of the Treadwell mill
cast 175 votes, divided up among four candidates, all
getting a fair share, but of which Wickersham was given 8
more than the next highest. TREADWELL, on the con
trary. where the bosses exercised control of the vote, gave
Wickersham but 8 and Corson 69, out of a total of W4
TROOPED HOME BY HUNDREDS TO ROOST
This is the sort of thing that on Tuesday trooped home
iu'such numbers to roost. It is a cable sent out from this
city to the Juneau Record:
[SpcUl C ? >le to Daily Record.]
SKAC VAV, Aug. 8.? This city waa
astonished last uiuhl when the Daily
Alaskan, one of the moat rabid of home
rule pipe's in the territory and tha
ooly paper io southeastern Alaska that
has port" to extremes in opposing the
administration of Governor Hoggatt,
came out with a double-column ten
Inch boost for John W. Corson, the re
publican nominee tor delegate. The
article is as strongly in favor of Mr.
Corson as auy article that has appeared
io anv of the papers favoring hia elec
tion. Just what brought out the piece
it ha* been unable to tell. There are
many here who belieye that Doctor
Keller, wbo has but lately returned
from Seattle, saw Mr. Corson's man
ager, in that city anil experienced a
change of heprt. In this connection
the fact that Keller claims be is about
to install a Linotype is recalled.
Whatever the cause the attitude As
sumed by the Alaskan has placed that
paper in a bad light and injured what
little influence it has la this city. It is
understood that Keller afterwards
stated that he mn the article as an ad
vertisement, but Wickersham men in
Skagway are indignant at his switch
ing at the last hour and roundly abuse
him for doing so.

Wrangell east an even hundred votes, divided up al
most evenly between four candidates, Chilberg taking 81,
the highest proportion, and Wickersham following next in
line with 29. Chilberg's support is supposed to come from
his Swedish fellow countrymeu in the fisheries. "At tfiat"
Wickersham gave him a close run.
CANYON, wherever that is, certified at the polls
that it was not under corporation control? that it is peo
pled with ripe Alaskans. It cast 28 votes of which one was.
for Corson and the balance for Jim the Teriible,
Out of a total vote of 59, Haines gave Wickersham 45,
the balance being scattered about just to let the world
know that that town knew there were other candidates in
the. field.

it unanimous.

purchase of a newspaper with which to
poison the minds of the voters and dis
tort the truth. The Alaskan is not
much on the I told-you-so habit, but it
is well to remember what this paper
said about the futility of a newspaper
owned and published by a politician for
political purposes. IIow silly to thick
that because a palpable lie is printed in
