Pertinent Facts as to
Election for Delegate
(Edited by Cha». A. Derry)
This department is conducted in the interest of Charles A. Sulzer,
Democratic nominee for delegate In congro.as, and for the purpose of
putting before the public facts In support of his election as the repre
sentative of the territory of Alaska at Washington.
During tlie Spanlsh-American war
■of 1898 and the Filipino insurrection
which followed it the Republican
party was loud in its demands that a
Republican majority be returned to
congress to support the war policies
of President McKinley. In this de
mand none was more vociferous than
Colonel Roosevelt, the present-day
idol of a certain element of the Re
publican party. None saw more
clearly than did the strenuous one
the need of congressional support of
the President in pushing to a suc
cessful conclusion a war which pre
j sented many difficulties. A majority
| in congress opposed to the adminis
tration was unthinkable to the Repub
licans of that day. and even a strong
minority opposition was considered a
danger.
And in spite* of Republican misrule,
of “embalmed beef” scandals, of in
competence? in the* war department
unparalleled in the* history of a great
nation, and the stupidity which
prompted the* famous “round robin”
protest from army officers in Cuba,
among which the* name of Colonel
Roosevelt appeared conspicuous, the
country returned a Republican ma
! jority to congress. And this was as '
it should be* There was more c hance
I of remedying the miserable mistakes ,
from which the* army was suffering i
j with a congress in sympathy politi
• •ally with the* President.
Rut the* Cuban and Philippines wars
; were as mere* child’s play compared *
| with the* present world struggle* In
those* wars tin* destinies of a few mil
; linn islanders was at stake, and the
v ar enterprises differed from previ
oils conflicts in which tin* American,
armv had engaged principally in tin*
fact that they marked a new phase!
in American policy our entry into
the proud position of a world power. I
In the bloody warfare in which the j
Cnited State* is involved the destinies!
oi the world are at stake. The peo
ple? of the Cnited States tardily real
ized that no longer could we hold
aloof from a struggle in which the
continuance of those principles of
I government for which tin* revolution
i ary fathers had sacrificed, and which
had called for new sacrifices in the
; civil war. were in danger of being
overthrown The war was brought
to our very doors by the submarine
warfare which Germany had inaugu
rated.
This is no time for party strife*,
hut for one united front in support
of the administration and its policies.
A Republican majority in congress
at this time* would he deplorable. Kven
the semblance of discord created by
the minority party already has ere*
ateei untold harm. It is necessary
that congress should lit* with the*
President in act and deed. President
Wilson has by tacit consent of the*
allied nations become the spokesman
of allied ideals and policies, and as
such his positiou is one of the* utmost
responsibility.
That there is no partisanship in
the President’s attitude is well e*x
emplified in the fact that he has gone*
out of his way. and in fart throwr
precedent to the winds, in advocating
the re-election of tried and true con
gressmen of the opposition party
notably in the case of Senator Knut<
Nelson of Minnesota. But what has
been the attitude of the Kepubllcar
party ?
For months past Chairman Hays o
the Republican national committee
has bees engaged in a campaign hav
ing for its object the return of a Re
publican majority to congress. With
the enthusiasm of youth (this is hi;
first campaign in his exacting posi
lion) he has attended Republicai:
gatherings the country over with tin
object of strengthening locally tie
hands of the party workers. His en
thusiasm evidently h:: led him int<
n grave indiscretion, to put if mildly
The dispatches yesterday related
that In* bad given out a public intima
tion reflecting on tin* patriotism am
good sense of President Wilson and
hi. advisers. And hero is where th*
greatness of the character of Presi
dent Wilson has asserted itself. Had
Theodore Roosevelt been in President
Wilson's position another inemhci
would have been add'd to his famous
Ananias club, and the country would
have reverberated to the sound of the
denunciation that would have been
heaped on the hapless head of tlm of
ft nder. But not so with President
Wilson H»* immediately .ft about m

man had !><m*h correctly quoted. And
ii it he found that this i-> so. there is
Tlo doubt file matter will be attended
to In a dignified manner
put the thought that must he upper
most now is that the hands of the
President must he sustained in the
present crisis, and common business
prudence alone, leaving out the ques
tion of patriotic duty, dictates that
men he returned to congress who are
at leuwt in sympathy with President
Wilson's war policies and aims, and
the best assurance of this is to return
I Jemocrat ic members.
'in the case of Alaska, while its
delegate has no vote, the return of
Charles A. Sulzer will he a vote of
(onfidence in the administration and
a testimonial to the fact that Alaska
stands unitedly behind the President
in the great struggle in which the
country is now engaged.

the Cte Indians, has given her for

with Albert II. Kneale, superintendent
ol the Uintah Indian reservation, in

Cross $50n and kept $12 for herself.
Mr. Kneale, after addressing the
Utes recently on the lied Cross needs,
concluded his remarks with the ques
tion, "How much will you give?"
Scores of hands shot up into the
air, each'showing one or two lingers
hidden, those upstanding to indicate
the size of the contribution. One fin
ger meant $10. two lingers $20, accord

was entered at $50 A few days later
Be-retta limped to the Indian agency
to fill out the lied Cross contribution
card, and when she saw that only $50
was called for she became indignant
and told tiie superintendent she
wished to contribute $500.
"But you have only $512 to your
