Judgo Wickersharu has stated bis
case plainly in the long menage seDt
out to the vot-rs of Alaska and the
f..cts are entirely to hi* credit. Judge
Wickersham was led into making hi*
first announce meut by the absence of
Cale and the danger of defeat that
threatened because of that ab?enc?
When assured that his caudidacy still
further en angered the result he as
promptly withdrew. Upon tko definite
withdrawal of Mr. Cale a little Uter and
the urgent solicitation of his friends he
has taken up the con est with scarcely
time in which to formulate a program
and none to carry out a personal can
vass. He is compelled to rely upon the
wire and depcrd upon the efforts of his
friends and the friends of progressive
government in different localities to
complete the work.
That for which he stands is set forth
in a so-called platform prepared by
himself. 'These things," says Judge
Wickersham, "if I am elected, I wi'.i
work for." It is a long list of measures,
every one of which will appeal to the
true Alaskan? it is the offerio?r of one
who Knows better, perhaps, than any
other man in the north knows, the
needs of Alaska. He has been a resi
dent of the district for many years.
As a judge, hearing every manner of
contests growing out of the peculiar
conditions under which we live, Judge
Wlcktrsham bus lived in every section
of the district, J neau, Valdez, Fair
banks and Nome. And in each district
be has won golden opinions anil good
will? and of course made enemies as
all men will who cceupy such position.
Bat it is to be said that his enemies
wh.le oa the bench wete first to urge
hiin to becomo a candidate
for delegate to congress and are his
chief lieutenants in his cor. test for
election. .
So it is that Judge WIc'Kershara
knows the ills we air heir to? L.ut mo e
than thut, thoie who know iiiin bent, be
lieve his ability to bo superior to that
of any candidate before tho peo
ple.? superior to that of any man to
be named amoug tho residents of Al
aska?for their correction. We alf
know that? and the evidence will ap
pear in the returns aloug about the 11th
of August.
Lot us run over the main points that
Judife Wickersham stands f >r: A sim
ple. Inexpensive form <<f self-govern^
ment with an elective legislature: nn
eight hour day: correction of the asso
ciation claim and power-of-nt.orney
outrages: prevention of monopoly in
mining and other property in Alaska;
appointment of mining inspector; re
vision of the Alaska code; protection
to fisheries; improvement of mail, tele
graph, transportation and educational
facilities: a mechanic's lien law for the
iusuranre of pay for labor performed;
encouragement of ALL railroad build
j ing ami favoring a government aided
j railroad; immediate creation of nnother
. judicial division.
It covers the situation like a tent ?
and if auy man cm bring these reforms
into being in this generation, the nia'i
is Judge Jatnes VVickersham.
M PRESS ON IDE SHIN
LOBBYING AT WASHINGTON
Governor Hoggatt. who has l>eeo lob
bying in Washington all winter, and
Incidentally trying with all bis might
to block any efforts made by Delegate
Cale to secure popular legislation in De
half of Alaska has returned, according
to a Seattle ncw.pa^er. "full of fight to
aid Corson, the Hoggatt candlJate for
delegate in congre?s." ? Katalla Her

CORSON UNDER H06GAU'S WIN6
Mr. Elo^vatt has taken under his pro
tective wing Mr. Corson, the republi
can nominee for delegate to congress
from Alaska, in whose platform terri
torial government is the first and fore
moat plank. "He is in favor of such a
form of government," say those who
would like to nee him el- clef', "and he
will do nil >ie cin to Itrinu it nlout,*'
they con ai in their suave argument.
Now the uews, being somt'wh.it inquisi
tive, would like to ih'< the governor

The llonorabV John W. C'or*oii has
been "spe< ch.fyii g" in southeus'etn
Alaska, but he has thus for p..sscd
Wrangel up like a white chip: and it
is just as well so, for all the good it
would do him tc stump this town and
section. We, of Wrangel are content
to have a real Alaskan do our work in
congress. Alaska never needed a good
friend more than she needs one now. ?

HIS SIGN IS OUT
"If Governor Ilnggatt is not in tho
pay of the Guggenheim', than he had
better take in hi? sign " said tho speak
er who went on to point out the servil
ity with which the irovernor executes
the behest of the Guggenhoiins and of
Captain D H. Jarvis, the latter boiui:
clinracterizcd as a "Guggonhoim lobbi
es. who is the worst four-flusher who
ever made a reputation in Alaska, and
whos* only achievement was to tret the
salmon tax removed, thus depriving the
schools of the territory of a hie reve
nuo, and a consequent fattening of the
coffers of the salmon monopolists."?
Judge Smith in a speech at Valdez.
Th > delegation from Alaska arrived
last night, accompanied by W. A. Wy
att of the Fairbanks times, and estab
lished headquarter! at the Brown.
They re-elected their national co?n- '
m tteeman, A. J. Daly, of Norao, utid
voted not to present a candidate for
vice-president. The following com
mitteemen were designated: Platform
and resolutions, Louis L. Williams.

ization, John H. Duckworth; rules and :

Aaong tho humor* of the present '
campaign in Ataaka? and certainly
there has been moro luiuior than any- j
thing else if the resulti), dependent
upon the conducuof the business were
not so serious? is tho candidacy of John |
Ronan. Mr.. Konun formally accepted |
the platform at Junrttu although ho
did not like it and had op|<osed tho j
adoption of the eight-hour plaulc. Hut
now he holdly repudiates that plank ?
the candidate refusing to abide by the
convention that set hitn up for tho ac
ceptance of tho pooplo. This is cer
tainly norei and interesting, to say tho
least ? but it will make littlo difference
auu tie probably knows it by this time.
Mr. Konan is not in tho running? not

Turned to a sheet of foolscap: every sea

Till all the pens and paper wero used
