NO COMBINATION POSSIBLE.
(From Fairbanks News-Miner.)
The election pulled off here for the purpose of selecting
delegates to the territorial Republican convention was certainly
harmonious. The harmony was so dense as to be ominous. It
reminded one of the attitude of a tiger getting ready to spring.
Everything passed off beautifully, however, the only ticket be
ing in the field receiving the total number of Votes cast—S’J—
with the exception of a few complimentary substitutions.
The Republican supporters of Wickersham were supposed
to have a ticket ready to spring, but the same did not material
ize, for the purpose of preserving harmony in the ranks, un
doubtedly. If there is to be a harmonious adjustment of past
differences the primaries should certainly reflect the intentions
of the rank and file of the party.
Our advices from other divisions show that there was more
spirit in the voting.
So, taken all in all, it looks like a lovely, harmonious con
vention at Seward next month.
But we believe much powder is being wasted in lighting
the imaginary “combination” supposed to have been made
between Wickersham and Shackleford. As near as we can
learn, after considering all information obtainable concerning
the proposition, it simply amounts to an agreement between
certain of the delegate's supporters in .Juneau and Mr.
Shackleford, that if Wickersham is tendered the nomination
for delegate of the Republicans in regular convention assem
bled'. he v.ill not interfere in the distribution of patronage, pro
vided the same is left to ..rganizations representing the
partv in each division. \\ bother or not the delegate is a party
to this agreement our readers may decide from the following
telegram sent by Wickersham to a Cordova supporter: “I
have not, and will not, make any combination, political or
otherwise, with Shackleford.”
That does not seem much like a “combination,” does it?
In a wire received here Friday, Mr. Shackleford makes the
following statement: “You may say under no circumstances
will I be a candidate nor accept national committeomanship.”
These wires should tend to show the improbability of a
“< ombination” or frame-up. And a common sense view of the
matter hardly justifies the belief that any agreement could
possible be arranged between the two gentlemen in question.
< >ne would as soon look for an agreement between St. Peter and
Lucifer.
A truce, maybe; but a combination, never.
JOYOUS, BUT NOT LOGICAL.
Champ Clark has a great sense of humor, hut he is not al
Avavs logical. He says the Republicans are grieved to death
over the prosperity of the country, meaning the prosperity
that has come because of a Democratic administration. Inas
much as all the present prosperity comes through supplying
the belligerents of Europe with war materials — arms, am
munition, food, clothing, mules, horses, etc., then to be logical
it the prosperity is due to the Democratic administration, that
same administration to make the prosperity, must be respon
sible for the war. Certainly the great party would not ascribe
all the prosperity that has come through its ministrations to a
foreign cause. \Ve suspect that Mr. Clark would have trouble
in giving us a bill of particulars. He, like* his president, must
sec that one great need of this country is a merchant marine.
Suppose lie were called upon to outline a plan for handling our
seagoing commerce in a business way, what would he give us.’
From the time that he stood at his mother’s knee, and with his
mother’s milk imbibed Democratic principles, his idea of ships
ing the tariff, and’ the wickedness of paying subsidies to al
and their use has been precisely like a certain party in discuss
ing already rich shipowners said: ‘‘A ship is precisely like ai
camel; if a merchant in Joppa wants to send a caravan load of
merchandise to Damascus, he hires the cheapest train of camels'
than he can find for that purpose,” and no argument could
shake his conclusion.
The fact that a merchant should have his own camel train,
have his own camel drivers, see that his goods were delivered,
and if his Damascus friend's wanted anything else, or what the
merchant in Damascus had to exchange for the goods, or what
was being produced in the neighborhood of Damascus, that
might be of use in Joppa—none of these things had any impres
sion, for they were contrary to Democratic principles as im
bibed from away back; and when asked how an American ship
could carry goods in competition with an English ship that had
a subsidy which was sufficient to pay for all the coal burned'
between ports, lie replied, ‘‘That the thing to do is to send them
bv the British ship.” And when asked if it would not be bet
ter to patronize American ship owners, he declared that any
thing ‘‘would be better than to build up bloated monopolies in
this country,” and that, in his judgment, closed' the debate.
—-so:
Dr. Took argued his own case before a congressional com
mittee the other day, his hope being to have the whole North
Pole controversy reopened by a congressional investigation.
We would like to see it. But let’s delay it until Villa has been
buried, and the war in Europe is over.
