THE GLEAM
A BROCHURE OF FACTS

Just how long the citi’zens of Juneau
are going to stand for the political flap
doodle put up by Juneau’s evening
paper is a question.
Last Wednesday’s issue had a head
line which was not only false, mislead
ing but mali’cious and unethical.
In point of fact James Wickersham
has not quit his campaign, he evidently
did not make connections at Chitina
for Fairbanks and returned to Cordova
where if he were headed anywhere ex
cept to Fairbanks or the Bonanza mine
he would geographically have to go.
This campaign certainly has shown
that Juneau’s evening paper has become
a bureau of excessively punk informa
tion and that its presiding genius the
spinal oblongataless Troy is becoming
more and more oblongatlaless each day.
The editorial flimflam, the sloppv pol
itical slime that has characterized that
editorial sheet for the last six months
is steadily wearing away the patience
of the indulgent and kindly disposed
citizens of Juneau.
It has become a veritable dictionary
of pseudological political press matter.
of late days it is so obnoxious as to be
no longer a joke. And to flare a false
hood in 42 point type at its long suffer
ing clientele deserves to bring down the
criticism that for so many months has
been smouldering in the hearts of the
Juneau citizens.
Fixed Interests
in Combine
In one of its most brilliant and sal
ient articles the Empire states that
any Republican voting the Democratic
ticket will not impair his regularity
with the Republican party. You poor
mutt! Your work is coarse. We had
only a suspicion that the Sulzer crowd
and the Shackleford crowd were in ca
hoots. By the way who grants the ab
solution? Shackleford and the recom
mendation of Thos. Donohue?
Vote for
McCormack
of Wrangell
P. H. McCormack is an old settler,
a pioneer, he stands for the best in
terests of the Territory, regardless of
party although he is accounted a Re
publican. He will cooperate with Bob
Heckman for the property lae equity
act. Women don’t forget to vote for
the men who will protect vour inter
ests.
Bob Heckmen wants to use the
money of the Territory to good purpose.
He wishes that the Territory take care
ot its insane. Here’s to you practical
Rob. 1 hat’s the best suggestion of the
campaign.
