Special Dispatch to The Diily Akskan
Fairbanks, July 27 ? (Delayed iu transmission) ? The
greatest public meeting ever held in Fairbanks was that, of
the reception and ratification given to the candidacy of
Judge Wickersham here on Saturday night. T'ae stage
was filled with prominent mine workers and owners, pro
fessional and business men from all over the district. The
big hall was packed and many were turned away, being un
able to secure entrance.
In his address Wickersham strongly attacked the
ordiance of 17*7. in the platform of the Ketchikan conven
tion. which he declares was placed there at the instance of
Governor Iloggatt for the purpose of deceiving the people.
Governor Hoggatt is known to be against territorial go*'
eminent and the plank advocating the extension to this
district of the application of the ordinance of 17S7, is
placed in the platform that it may appear to advocate
territorial government, while it does no such thing. Mr.
Corson may talk territorial government 'tloug these lines
forever and realize nothing. It is meant to deceive and
iiothin" more ? but will not. deceive.
? . ? ? ? % ?
The judge then attacked the Fairbanks News, the
afternoon daily which recently sold out to .Corson. He
said lie rather admired the Times for the consistency of its
fight against him? carried on tor years ? but the News,
which had become a so-called republican newspaper, had
done so for re enue only and was only worthy of con
tempt. This was' the paper he said, which had sold out to
the mine owners only this spriug for the purpose of fighting
the n i lie workers ? receiving for that questionable service
the sum of a thousand dollors ? had later sold itself to Clum
for five hundred and then had de*ert?d Clum in the midst
of his campaign to advocate Corson, who had given them
a little lr.rger sum ? this paper was worthy only of contempt
