ANION'S OPPOSITION 10
ALASKA tXPLAIhif D
Speikor Cann>n, of the nitional
house of re rcsentnives, is not a friend
of Alaska. Tnnt ha< be?n known in
this district for sometime. He was
opposed to siring the district a dele
gate to co-igress. We got the delegate
becausu-the speaker was kept busy
with trying to ii?!d his <eat on the
throne .is house dictator from wh'ch the
vigorous as aulls of the insurgents
came near dislodging him. He had
not time to veto AlasKan legislation, j
Walter Clark, the Post-Inrelligenc
er's Washington correspondent, recog
nizes fhe hostile attitude of Speaker
Cannon toward Alaska and he hints at
a cause for it. In a recent dispatch
be says:
j "Speaker Cannon's attitude toward
Alaska acd the Alaskans is to many
persons a puzzle. In the 'Summer of
1905 he marie a trip to the southeastern
p;irt of the territory, but he was occu
pied dur ng the s'e-imer trip and he
spent no great length of time at any
port. Since his return the speaker h^s
eiven nobody any cause for undue ela
tion by reason of hn attitude toward
the various measures which have been
proposed in congress for the benefit of
Alaska."
To the uninitiated it might '?e news to
say that the matter* which "occupied"
SpeakerCannon during h's trip toAlaska
was the North Amercan game of draw
poker.
Does Mr. Clark surmise that Senator
Hemmenway, Mr. l'awney and tfie
other lawmakers worsted the speaker
that is why his recollections of the
district seem so disagreeable ?
