Wick’s Nomination Is To Be Conditional Only
CONGRESS LISTENS WILSON’S
INDICTMENT OF GERMANY
WASHINGTON. D. C., April 19.—
Peaident Wilson attended a joint
masion of fongress at one o’clocK
today when he carefully read an ad
dress on the matter of the subma
rine controversy now existing be
tween the government of the United
States and the Imperial German
government.
Wilson at the inception of his
address referred to his submission j
of the Question to Congress some
time ago, when he sought the un- j
equivocal support of the legislative
body of the nation in support o;
his efforts, and told how it gratified
him to find such a ready response
to his requirements.
“Now”, proceeded Wilson, “we j
have given Germany irrevocable no- ,
tification that the United States will
sever diplomatic relations with her j
if the illegal submarine campaign
continues”.
The sensation in Congress when
Wilson stated that he dispatched
the note which is to be considerea
an ultimatum before the address
was delivered to Congress was in
tense and indescribable. Members
leaned over their desks grasping
every syllable as it fell from the lips
of the President in carefully and
slowly modulated tones.
Wilson informed Congress that
the State Department possessed a
positive accumulation of indisput
able facts to prove to the hilt that
Germany was violating every single
assurance that she had given the
United States with reference to the
submarine campaign.
“Despite our t protests and the
German government's own promises
the submarine campaign is now be
ing conducted" said President Wil
son, “in contravention of all the
laws of nations and principles ot
humanity”.
Then at the conclusion of a re
view of the facts that had been
pouring in upon the department.
“facts that Germany could not deny
and dare not question”. President
Wilson declared that he meant to
sever diplomatic relations unless the
Gorman submarine policy is brought
within the pale of international law
once more, unless the solomn assur
ances which Germany had given the
United States were lived up to and
some guarantee afforded the govern
ment of the United States that ne
gotiations agreed upon and mutu
ally accepted by both nations would
be something more than an idle con
versation among diplomats.
President Wilson asked no action
of Congress whatever. He said that
a3 far as the administration is con
cerned the note to Germany and his
address to Congress on the sub
ject are • final. Other measures
may have to- be decided
upon by Congress in whose consti
tutional duty it is to take measures
to enforce the rights of American
citizens among the nations of the
world. The submarine crisis has
set the country aflame with excite
ment and there Is now nothing be
fore Gemany except a back down
and compliance with the demands
of America or complete severance
of all diplomatic relations between
Germany and the United States.
In the latter connection it is now
pointed out that excepting the pre
sent German-Italian status, diploma
tic liisiory shows that war has al
ways followed after severance ot
relations. Neither Italy nor Ger
many has declared war upon each
other although diplomatic relations
have been severed.
BERLIN, April 19.—Von Jagow
today handed Gerard a second Sus
sex memorandum. Gerard poiuted
out that he believed It was received
too late.

SLAVES OF SHACKELFORD
SEWARD, April 19.—This city is
the Mecca of G. O. P. men today.
The convention met at ten thtB
morning electing Irving of Juneau
a Shackelford man, temporary chair
man and Thompson of Katalla, an
other Shackelford man temporary
secretary. The organization of a
credentials committee was arranged
by the convention whereupon they
adjourned until two o’clock.
Russell, Wickersham’s representa
tive here says that Wickersham’e
name may not go before the conven
tion unless conditionally, which it
is presumed refers to cortain poli
cies which the delegate has now on
hand. He stated that he is now
awaiting advices from Wickersham.
Murane will probably be elected
National Committeeman.
Wick’s position is subject to
change without a moment's notice
say some of the delegates. His
policy with reference to the fisheries
and the Carlin bill is likely to makb
him feel a fear of the republican
double cross and for that reason
might not hesitate to run independ
ent. It is merely a matter of po
litical expediency.
In the event of Wick not electing
to allow himself be nominated,
Millard might get the nomination.
This however Is a remoto possibil
ity.
SEWARD, April 19.—Shackleford
is in complete control of every dele
gate at the convention. Thomas
Lloyd is sergeant-at-Arms. All de
legates have been seated without
contest. Everything is in the air.
Shack is mad with Wick for public
letter last week wherein the dele
gate stated that he had not any
agreement with Shack. The conven
tion will not nominate Wick unless
he agrees to stand by platform. A
joker in platform gives all patron
age to territorial committee which
Is dominated by Shack. It is under
stood that if Wick does not answer
a dispatch sent him by Russell as to
agreeing to platform nomination of
delegate will be left to a committee
