Delegate Issues
Open Letter to the
People of Alaska
Delegate James Wickersham’s plat
form:
1. The lawful control of transpor
tation rates to, from and in Alaska,
and the reduction of present extor
tionate rates to reasonable standards;
the prevention of rebates to favored
shippers and of unlawful combinations
in restraint of trade.
2. The enforcement of the inter
state commerce and anti-trust laws in
Alaskan trade, commerce and trans
portation.
The prompt completion of the gov
ernment railroad from Seward to
Fairbanks, via the Matanuska and
Nenana coal fields, and into the Idita
rod and trails and government tele-,
graph lines to all parts of the terri-'
tory.
4. The passage of laws by con
gress for the extension of the powers
of the Alaska legislature over fisher-1
I ies and fur-bearing animals, and the
I enactment of such laws as will save
i the fisheries from destruction and en
| courage the settlement of a popu'a
! tion of fishermen along our coasts;
[the enactment of such laws as will re
quire those engaged in Alaskan fisher
ies to pay their just proportion of
taxes for the development of Alaska
and her government.
o. j ne enactment oi laws ny con
gress extending the powers of our
legislature so as to permit the full de
velopment of an American type of
territorial government in Alaska, with
power to enable her citizens to pro
tect their own and the public inter
ests, and to increase the general
prosperity without limit.
6. Statehood for Alaska as soon as
it can be organized in the interest and
advantage of the people.
7. The prevention of further ex
tension and the repeal of the present
bureaucratic form of government in
Alaska, whereby bureau clerks in
Washington really govern her people
by the issuance of “rules and regula
tions” having the force of laws.
8. The abandonment of the pres
ent useless and harmful forest and
other reservations in Alaska, whereby ;
great bodies of our lands are with
drawn from settlement and use by the
people and form a basis of bureau
control from Washington wihtout ra
tional excuse and to the great loss of
the national treasury.
9. Opposition to the levy of any
tax on trade or business in Alaska by
congress, and the repeal of the law
now providing for such system, and
the control of all taxation in Alaska
by the territorial legislature.
10. The centralized control of all
national administration activities in
Alaska by a national administrative
body to the end that there may be one
business head to such work instead of
20 or more.
11. I he appointment of Alaska
Alaskans, and none other, to appoint
ive offices in Alaska; and I utterly re
pudiate that plank in the Seward
platform seeking to take away from j
the people of Alaska their right to
be consulted in the consideration of
such appointments, and to give the
sole power of naming such officials
to a Seattle lawyer; it is un-Ameri
can, un-republican and the beginning
of boss rule in Alaska by the great
corporations able to employ the law
yer; I pledge the people of Alaska
that if I am elected I will not recom- i
mend any man for an appointive of-1
fice in Alaska who is not first approv- j
ed by the people of the territory, and ■
by those residing in the vicinity i
where he is to serve.
12. The enactment of primary elec-1
tion laws for the purpose of enabling
the people by their votes to control |
their conventions and the nominations
of their officials without the corrupt!
manipulation of political bosses.
13. Continued opposition to the ef- j
forts of interested copper companies ■
to secure the passage of a bill in con-:
gress for the appointment of a com- j
mission to revise the United States j
mineral land laws in Alaska; their
purpose is to take away from the ter
ritorial legislature of Alaska its pow
er to legislate hereafter on that sub
ject in Alaska. It is a scheme to ex
tend to all mineral lands in Alaska the
principle of reservation and leasing
by a government bureau in Washing
ton, after the plan of the Alaska coal :
leasing law, which was drawn by Sec- j
retary Lane, approved by Mr. Gifford
Pinchot, introduced by Congressman
Ferris, of Oklahoma, passed by a dem-1
| ocratic congress and signed by Presi- .
| dent Wilson. I shall oppose such res-!
| ervation and leasing of placer and
| quartz mineral lands in Alaska, and !
i favor the revision of such laws, when (
necessary, only by congress or the!
Alaska legislature.
14. Finally, I shall support Hughes
and Fairbanks, and the national re
puMican platform, unless they or
those representing them shall inter
fere with the passage of needful and
beneficial laws for Alaska, in wlych |
event I shall stand by Alaska and her
interests, as I always have done, with
out regard to party threat or favor.
ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF
THEOF1ELD" HER VERTS
The death of Theofield Eeraerts, an
Eagle river rancher, occurred at the
government hospital yesterday after
noon at 4:40 o’clock, and his brothers
living at Billings, Montana, have been
notified.
The death was the direct result of
an accidental shooting and from the
meagre reports gathered it seems that
Eeraerts was hunting ami in going
through the heavy brush, in the vicin
ity of his ranch, the shot gun that he
was carrying went off accidentally,
the shot taking effect in his left side
just above the hip. He was immedi
ately rushed to Anchorage on a spe
cial train, but the wound resulted fa
tally and the body is under the care of
the Wood Undertaking company on F
street.
it is understood that there was a
man accompanying him on the hunt
ing trip but the authorities have been
unable to get in touch with him at
the time of going to press, although
F. B. Wood has endeavored to get in
communication with the party over
the telephone.
Mr. Eeraerts was a man about 55
years of age and has formerly been
employed with the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission. In the post mortem
examination it developed that he was]
evidently a man with a past and per-1
haps another of the old timers of the '
Montana plains has gone to his death
with sealed lips, taking with him the
secrets of many an episode that made
the frontier famous. The result of
the diagnosis showed a gun shot
wound in the left side, three broken
ribs, a cauliflower ear and the left
foot minus all of the toes. There
were also several scars on the body1
that proved conclusively that he had
lived the reckless life of the frontier
ind the Indian arrow wound speaks of j
)ther engagements than cow-town
ights.
Even with the scars of former bat- j
:Ies, and some of them must have
)een serious, Mr. Eraerts was in i
splendid physical condition and per-!
laps if the wounds and scars could I
speak they would say that he had liv
'd the wild and untrammeled life of j
he west and that the end came as he
vished—“with his boots on.
