THE DELEGATE ELECTION.
The situation with regard to the
Alaska delegate election is one that
has at least some compensations. It «
afford3 the legal lights of the terri- j
tore some opportunity of expanding
upon teehnicalties and changing the j
actual count by separating the votes
which are wheat and those which
are to he regarded as chaff.
Certainly some regard must be
had for the feelings of those who
on one side or another voted with
Austrialian ballots and those who
cast their votes upon commoner pa
pier and which had not official ^ap
proval. It is impossible to suffici
ently discriminate between Tweed
ledum and Tweedledee and it might
1„. i-xp otod that the election board
•will probably differentiate so that
the Territory may not suffer any un
seemly misrei resentation.
Now comes the .Juneau advices
that it i; just this which the elec
tion board w.il not do, and they
rise superior to any teclinicalties,
spurn the advice of the territorial
attorney general, with the natural
]a, k of deference for new found
honors, and attach the election to
the Honorabh James Wickersliam.
Where; t there will be rejoicings
and also sorrowings. But the most
embargoing position of all will be
that of tic -■ territorial papers
vhirh gav< an unduly premature
t\v of tri impli when the first
v.-ur: i a in'* indicating that the
. ' , tion of Sulzer was assured. The
curtain falls upon the keen para
raphi r- who gloated and rubbed it
;ui ; 4 ip v watelied the hopes of the
'.Vid;. rshamites in the descendant.
The uncertainty of politics never
was mon fully roveaed than in this
re, cnt election when both Tweed
ledum and Tweedledee laid equal
claims to victory, and the unterri
fied followers of one or the other
nurtured hope within their bosom.
Todav one side breathed a triumph
and tomorrow did their rivals. The
distant precincts brought cheer to
this one or that as the totals were
counted. The expert tabulators
watched the neck and neck race
■with a variety of feelings as they
beheld the fortunes of one or other
advance to the lead
Keen sympathy will he felt for
the bitterness of defeat which hav
ing tasted the sweet of triumph
Sulzer must now drain to the dregs.
And the wily Wickersliam whose
lucky star pulled victory from de
feat will rejoice in a chastened
manner now that he almost felt the
scourge of disappointment.
That Alaskan elections are mne
ly personal matters is of course
evidenced in all this. The material
difference between Wickersham and
.Sulzer is so slight that the man in
tiio street can afford to watch defeat
or victory for one or the other with
supine indifference. They both
stand for the same fundamental
principle which in the main i» »o
get on the worker’s hack and being
ensconced there to remain in posi
tion. That one now and the other
then administers words of comfort
to the burden bearer need not mat
ter much, the honeyed words will
not lighten the load albeit they may
well invigorate the spirit.
Why the workers then should get
excited over the decision of the
Juneau Board is not particularly
dear. We should warry about in one
way or the other. The day’s pay is
not likely to vary, and assuredly
will the day’s work be no lighter
by reason of the fact that Judge
Wickersham will have two more
years to enlighten Congress through
an extension of remarks in that
mortuary chamber for oratorical ef
forts: the Congressional Record.
Vet it is to be confessed that one
regrets that a new man was not
tried just for the change that would
to some degree satisfy curiosity.
Air. Sulzer would have been most
entertaining and interesting in the
position of delegate, and as he pro
mised to retire to the limbo of ob
scurity it in one term he ilid not do
more than all Wick had done in his
several, the territory would gain by
the experience. It may be harder
to get Mr. Sulzer n than to get Mr.
Sulzer out, and wise in their experi
ence of removing Wick’s strangle
hold on the job with political bars
legal jack screws and other complex
machinery, they came to the con
clusion that they would rather con
tinue experimenting with the man
that was almost ready to let go
than start in giving another one the
same cinch upon the position.
The Industrial Worker believes
that much more would have been
gained had Mrs. Lena Morrow Lewis
been elected. It would be a wel
come relief to find one in such a po
sition Vho has definite views upon
legislation and who is now perpetu
ally keeping an eye on Alaska and
an eye on Seattle lor me worn mai
has to bo done in Congress, and
while Mrs. Lewis may not havt ob
tained many votes relative to the
full total, she at least obtained the
votes 'of those who know their own
mind and are not lost if they
haven't some political idol stradd
ling their backs.
The socialist party candidate in
this eleeton at any rate !f in a toss
painful position than the democrat
She lias no friends to ’crate that
they failed to work for her; none

positions to the party to accuse ot
going about double crossing in a
=tyl that is almost scandalous in its
proportions of party disloyalty. She

ed. and site can as her party can,
eventually look forward to the time
when an educated working class will
not be misled by the syren voices ot
ft wer politicians, ^ut will vote as
the capitalists vote, according to the
dictates of their own class interest.
It is impossible to close these re
marks without expressing a modi
cum of sympathy for Suiter. That
i he is a wiser man now may be
doubted. but that he is a sadder
i man for this experience cannot be
1 questioned.
We suspect that he will look to
wards this division not without
hurt feelings. Here in this strong
hold of Grigsbyan democracy,
which returned the democratic can
didate for Attorney General with
such a large majority to office, while
voting for Wickersham, it does look
suspicious.
There was some one played the de
licate and artistic game of double
cross in this section beyond perad
venture. They divided their votes
And while loyal to one candidate
side tracked the party leader for a
mugwump!
It is extremely embarrasing to
s.ty the least, the position in which
the unterrified find themselves. It
is one that will bear a lot of ex
plaining and explaining the expla
nation. It is sadly serious and
seriously saddening. But one can
not blame the democracy in the rest
of Alaska if it point the finger ot
democratic scorn and unterrified
contumely upon this fickle section
of the Territory.
That the Second Division is in
bad for some time with the rest may
now be laid down as certain. It has
betrayed the party. It has deceived
the loving attentions which the
party delighted to shower upon it.
and it Is no wonder if Sulzerian
enthusiasts in the glow of their
righteous scorn would demand a
subdivision of the territory into
two sections leaving this alone in
its deceitful glory to mourn its out
cast lot.
Such may well be the price for
preferring Tweedledum and Tceedle
dee.
