REPUBLICANS
OPENED HERE
The Republican campaign was op
. ened in Cordova last night when
Judge James Wickersham addressed
a large audience at the Kmpress
I treat re He was introduced by Hr
W H Chase in a short speech, and
the stage was occupied by the three
local candidates for olliee on the Re
publican ticket
Judge Wickersham opened his ad
dress by stating that he was heartily
in accord with the present adminis
tration, and paid deserved tribute to
President Wilson. He pointed out
how loyally the Republican senators
and representative* had stood behind
the administration.
The speaker then dwelt at some
length in an arraignment of Delegate
Sul/.cr. Governor Rigg and the Dem
ocratic olliee holders, upholding for
mer Governor Strong for the position
taken by him as a member of the can
vassing board and his refusal to issue
a certificate of election to (’has. A.
Sul/.cr until compelled to do so by
the court. He claimed that the elec
tions committee of the House had de
cided to report favorably on his elec -
tion. but in the meantime Sul/.cr was
drawing the pas and when he was
seated the people of Alaska would be
paying a double price for representa
tion.
Sulzer was charged with being a
slacker, because he had had militar;.
training at West Point anil had re
fused to enlist. In referring to Cm
ernor Riggs he said, "He is a mu I.
better politician than a railroad man.”
I and charged that twenty-five miles
I of the government railway built by
him at Nenana had to he abandoned
because it was laid under the lower
water mark and had been washed
away. Former dovernor Strong, he
pointed out. was ousted from office
because he refused to do tile bidding
of the Democratic politicians. It was
admitted that Strong was a Canadian,
I but Wickersham said "it was much
| better to lie a Canadian than a tier
1 man."
Mr. Wickersham spoke of Mr Sul
zer's connection with the shipping bill
The United States law has protected
our coastwise shipping. No foreign
built vessel may carry American
freight from one American port to an
other; this is so American sailors
may have employment in American
built ships, but recently when the
! United States needed ships, the larger
vessels were taken to the east coast
from Alaska This left us substan
tiallv with an itisulllcient force of ves
: seis to carry freight in this country
Woodrow Wilson asked authority to
| permit foreign vessels to carry freight
I from one port to another, when lie
[felt that it was necessary. This mat
ter was brought before a committee
! on September ti. a year ago. and on
[ that same day Mr. Sulzer arose in the
[ House and said. "Mr Speaker. I ask
for an indefinite leave of absence from
the house of representatives on ac
count of sickness in my family," and
[ on that day Mr. Sulzer left Washing
[ton. He went to California where he
j was away out of danger, and he stayed
j there until congress had adjourned,
j On the sixth day of September, the
j -lay on which he left, the shipping
j bill came before congress. Mr. Bunch
land Mr Clark of the Alaska Steamship
j company appeared before congress
land got this joker into the bill: that
; the President, when necessary, be per
I mltted to allow foreign vessels to car
j ry freight, providing that it does not
j apply to Alaska.
