TAFT REFUSES TO BE INFORMED
In the ordinary courso of events
when the people of a state, a district
or a territory elect a representative
to Congress he is supposed to repre
sent his constituents and is entitled
to a respectful hearing on any matter
which vitally concerns the people
whom he represents.
Yet when Delegate James Wicker
sham arrived in Washington to attend
the present session of Congress and
attempted to arrange an interview
with President Taft in regard to mat
ters pertaining to Alaskan legislation,
the President refused point blank to
see Mr. Wlckersham. saving that "it
was no use. His mind was already
made up."
Who furnished President Taft with
the mis-statements about Alaska
which caused the President to commi
a grave blunder from a political stan<
point and against all right and Justice
in attempting to force the Beveridgt
bill through Congress? Was it Hog
gatt or Richardson?
President Taft has never been it
Alaska and his* published utterance:
concerning the territory show tha
whoever furnished the President wi tl
misinformation concerning the peo
pie and conditions of Alaska eadl:
mlssled our chief executive. Not
withstanding the President refuses t<
see Wickersham. This sort of thini
will not serve to make Taft popula
farther the belief that he is a big
broad minded man. open to convlctio
His action was distinctly narrow.
Mr. Wlckersham's statement, mad'
before the Senate committee on terri
forles. follows:

Senator Owen. Judge. I want t<
ask a question in regard to the Pres
ident's opportunity of knowing th<
things you have pointed out. The}
have not been presented to him bj
you? .
Mr. Wickersham. No. sir: they
have not. because he refused positive
ly to see me.
Senator Owen. Were you elected
as Delegate from Alaska?
Mr. Wickersham. Yes sir: I was:
and I made an application to the Pre!
ident for an interview, saying to Mr.
Carpenter (the President's secretary)
that I wanted to talk to the President
about these matters. He soat word
through Mr. Carpenter that his mind
was made up and he did not think
i' was any use to talk to me, and he
declined to see me. Otherwise we
might have got something done befor
this bUl came here."
Notwithstanding the fact that some
of the people and papers of Alaska
have been busily engaged in roasting
Delegate James Wickersham, he is
steadily gaining in popular favor in
this part of the country, and the man
that beats him next fall will have to
be a good one. His fight at Washing
ton is doing the business. Alaska
home rulers are beginning to love him
for the enemies he is making. ? Doug
