THE GLEAM
A BROCHURE OF FACTS
Published in the interests of the Citizenry
of Alaska's First Division
SUNDAY, OCT. 22, 1916
Perhaps no speaker ever improved more
than Sulzer has since he was nominated, but
the humble publisher of this pamphlet would
like to know what he really did talk about.
The picture he showed of Mr. Wickersham
in a Fairbanks paper was a good one of Mr.
Wickersham’s regulation campaign picture;
and if the editor hit upon a clever slogan,
the editor and Mr. Wickersham both being
from the Fourth Division, it did not signify
"sectionalism”, as Mr. Sulzer declared.
"Not from the First but first in the hearts
of Alaskans," is clever, apt and pat, and to
attack it showed that Mr. Sulzer has a vein
of petty jealousy in him not consistent with
being the great man for which he poses.
It is Mr. Sulzer who talks sectionalism
when he advocates the secession of the First
Division from the rest of the Territory. Oh,
Mr. Sulzer, go way back and set down.
Sulzer did not forget to mention Mrs.
Lewis in ins last speech. I hanks. It was
clever and adroit for him to stay out on the
St. Nicholas until the learned Lena departed
for the Westward.
Oh, yes Sulzer made a great speech. lie
proved that he is the only man on earth
that can differ "with” an oponent. That’s
the trouble witn Sulzer. Alaska wants men
who can differ "'from" the opponents.
At least Wickersham can use the English
language.
In the general evolution of Juneau the
palatial Coliseum has become the political
cockpit of the First Division.
Gee, how those Game Roosters crow.
We were glad to know that Shackleford's
difference with Wickershan is purely geo
graphical rather than biographical—things
were hot enough as they were.
Shackleford made more friends for himself
last night than he has lor many a long day.
He is a man of power and when he gets right
he’r "awful right".
Monty Benson with his Safety First for a
slogan will make a good representative.
SAFETY FIRST BENSON
Everyone in the Gastineau Chan
nel vicinity will work lor Monty Ben
son. He represents the men who
produce all the wealth that Cobb’s
bill went after. Mr. Benson will gel
a big vote from the women in Juneau.
S'
GEORGE IRVING FOR
PRESIDENT OF l). S.
Had we ever heard Mr. Irving speak
before last night we sure would have
gone East and boomed him as a suc
cessor to either Taft or Wilson.
Pshaw! What do those school teachers
know about " Facts that is."
Thats alright Irving, the GLEAM
does’nt believe a word you said but
from your standpoint the speech was
a bird. We enjoyed every minute.
With Charley saying "Had'nt ought *
and Georgy saying “Facts that is”,
both ought to interview Professor
Henderson about the night school.
Ladies when you vote do not for
get P. C. McCormack of Wrangell.
He's for equitable laws lor women in
the Territory too.
Attorney Young has our sympathy.
We know what it is to lend the fruits
of years of study to vampires too.
We’ve been there and KNOW.
A FALSE NOTE IN
REPUBLICAN RALLY
In point of fact neither Emery Val
elentine nor J. H. Cobb are delinquent
taxpayers.
