"In spile of all the "$rk the dis
gruntled republicans cot id do In thU
?ection the tegular rep ibllcan candi
date, as will be seen by reference to
the table published herewith, show*
that Corson iot 1 ,0G2 and Wickersham
(tot but 905 votes, giving Corson, the
regular candidate 157 majority in
southeastern Alaska? INCLUDING
THAT PORTION OF THE WEST
WARD CP TO VALDEZ."
Of course this is froi) the Juneau
Record. No other newspaper in Alaska
would be guilty of such li me and silly
conclusions, nor go so far to the ''west
ward" to seek a balm it cannot find at
home, nor another any wh)re which so
continually lays itself open to ridicule.
Southeastern Alaska cannot con
veniently be stretched westward of
Sitka without? for thost who know
their Alaska? violating the geography.
Here, then, is the rote of Southeastern
Alaska for the twocandicates io con
troversy so far as heard frc tn:
For Wickersham: Skugway, 104;
Suburban, 1: Uaines, 45; Juneau, 134:
Douglas, Treadwell, <; Wrangell,
29; Ketchikan, 7S; Sitka, 13; Basin. 31.
TOTAL FOR WICKERSHAM. tJ29.
For Corson: Skagwav, 27; Suburban,
4; Haines, 5; Juneau, 117; Douglas, 43;
Treadwell, 69; Wrangell, 22; Ketchi
kan, 17; Sitka. 15; Basin, 4. TOTAL
FOR CORSON, 328.
The majority, therefore, for Wtcicer
sham in Southeastern Alaska "in apile
of all the peculiar and unsnvory meth
ods of the Hog>ratt-Corson combine,"
is 301 for Wickersham. . uneau, the
homo of Governor Hoggatt nod the
Record, out of a total vote of 301, gave
Wickersham a m'ajority over Corson of
67. Ketchikan, the seat of the conven
tion that nominated Corson, out of a
total vote of 95, gave Wk kersham a
majority of 01.
Now let's look at the westward. For
Wickersham, Valdez. 227; Cordova, 150:
Canyon. 2S: Laudlock, 17. TOTAL
FOR WICKERSHAM, 422. For Cor
son, Valdez, 25; CORDOVA, 700; Can
yon, 1; LanJlock, none- To'al for Cor
son, 720.
This, in spite of a practically unani
mous vote for Wickersham in Valdez,
Canyon and I. and lock, ? ev)ry voting
place except the Guggenhein railroad
camp of Cox-dova? gives Corson a ma
jarity over Wickersham of 304.
And right here The Alaskan will
paust to remark that that majority will
cost the Guggenheims very ciuch more
than the election of Corson ? ould have
gained for that corporation.
That there are not 925 legal votes?
the number cast for all candidates? in
Cordova is a matter not open for argu
ment in Alaska. We all knoir there is
not. And Alaska is not goin? to stand
for this sort of thing. And The Alas
kan wi be rcrv much mistake n if, with
those election returns in lis hand,
Judge Wiekersham does not, in Wash
ington this winter, earn hi: titlt- of
JIM, THE TERRIBLE.
The recommendation of the grand
jury that the town of llaincs should be
accorded a deputy marshal ?pd U. S.
commissioner has not yet l>een an
swered. Haines is a place of growing
importance. That a large force of
soldiers is stationed there is security
against an armed invasion of i. foreign
country, perhaps, but the neai vicinity
of so large a force of men Is only an
other reason why it should have the
facility for the local adjustmen t of her
little civil and other difficulties Haines
has filed a petition for incorporation
which her citizens hope will be granted
when it comes on (or hearing but in the
meantime she should have her deputy
marshal and commissioner.
"The Skagway Alaskan which has all
aloog until q-jlte recently, been an in
strument of one string, playing the
tune of popular home government for
Alaska, is now sounding the gamut of a
lay which, though rather monotonous,
mustba pleasing music to those whom
it designates as "Hoggatt and his
gang."? Ketchikan Miner.
Come, come, governor, play fair. You
never saw the expression "Hoggatt and
his gang" in The Alaskan. That is the
language peculiar to the Roggatt news
papers.
Ia it not something of the irony of
history that of all cities in
the north Springfield, III , Lincoln's
own town, 90 to speak, should be the
seat of repeated outbreaks of racial
war such as is seen nowhere else save
in the soirh. And that tho provoca
tion is offered by the negro himself?
I It is popularly understood at Haines
that the five Corson votes cast in that
town cost not less .than twenty dollars
each? not that the men casting the
votes received that sum but that the
expenditure entailed in landing them
amounted to that much. ;
THEY'LL SOON FIT TUFT
Teddy's clothes will soon Ct wlllie,
Now they'd stick to him like paste,
But a nature-faking tailor
Will enlarge them round the waist,
He will take the nether garment,
Let a reef out fore and aft?
O papa, the world is moving
Roosevelt's clothes will soon lit Taft.
Taft will loll in Teddy's slippers,
Occupy his old armchair.
Rest his tootsies on a hassock,
It will look like Teddy there,
He will wear a Roosevelt collar,
<#itting firmly round his throat?
O papa, do you think Willie
Really can wear Teddy's vote?
Teddy's hat looks swell on Willie,
And the jacket fits him fine.
Ted will say when Will is restless,
"Careful with those clothes? they're
mine."
Willie will behave with Teddy;
He'll let Teddy steer the craft?
O papa, is Ted the captain
With his clothes on Mr. Taft?
