Pertinent Facts as to
Election for Delegate
(Edited by Chas. A. Derry)
This department is conducted In the interest of Charles A. Sulaer,
Democratic nominee for delegate in congress, and for the purpose of
putting before the public facts in support of his election as the retire
sentatlve of the territory of Alaska at Washington.
___ j
Delegate Charles A. Sulzer opened
1 his campaign for re-election at Ket
chikan on September 4. when lie dis
cussed the issues of the day, explained
the status of Alaska legislation and
told of the desire of the administra
tion to aid in the development of
Alaska before an appreciative audi
ence which [lacked the hall
The delegate read letters from cab
inet members and heads of various
departments of the government testi
fying to the earnest work of the
Alaska delegate in behalf of his con
stituents.
Mr. Sulzer left for his home at Sul
zer the following day, and from there
he expected to go to Juneau, prob
ably holding meetings at Wrangell
and Petersburg en route.
Morrissey Tells of Delegate’s Work
On his return trip to the North
Charles A. Sulzer, Alaska’s delegate
in congress, was accompanied by his
secretary, Kdward Cl. Morrissey, who
came through directly to Juneau and
v ho will remain at the capital for
some weeks.
"Mr. Sulzer had hoped to get away
for the North several weeks earlier,"
! said Mr. Morrissey, "but he felt that
the interests of the territory de
I manded his presence in Washington ]
j until after he secured a favorable re- *
! port on the bill abolishing the eighty j
! rod strip between the homesteads on [
navigable waters, and until similar!
lection was secured on the bill per]
mining agricultural entries on coal
lands. Both of these objectives were
obtained before the delegate left
Washington, and it is only u matter
of time until the bills will lie enacted
into law, as they have the unanimous )
indorsement of the committee, and
also of the departments
“Before deciding to make the trip
to Alaska Mr. Sulzer consulted with
the administration leaders in con-1
gress. He was advised that the only!
matters that would lie considered j
were the man power hill, which had !
j already passed the house, and the J
levenue bill, after which n recess!
would lie taken, in ail likelihood, until
after election day He was also given i
'o understand that there was little!
probability of another adjournment of
< ongress until after the war, and was j
advised that he could be spared bet-[
ter at this time to visit Alaska than
at a later date.
"So. in view of the fact that it was
not likely that there would he any ad-1
jcurnment, and that it would be im
possible to learn fully the needs of
the territory’ at a range of 5.000 miles
or more, and believing it his duty to
appear before the people in person
to render an accounting and to refute
the maliciously false statements and
propaganda being spread by liis po
litical opponents, the delegate came
i North.
Contest Fabrications
"Most glaring of the misinforma
tion that is being spread in Alaska is
that relative to the election contest
being waged in the national capital.
Some months ago Mr. Wickershum
wired all over Alaska (hat the elec-,
(ions committee had reported unani
mously in his favor, and gave the
Impression that he had been seated !
as delegate Telegrams were even
sent to a number of papers stating
that Mr. Wickersham had actually (
been sworn in Such statements were
absolutely false. The elections com
mittee has made no report: there Is
no knowing when a report will be
made, nor what it will be when made.
And another fact is that regardless
of any report that may he made, the
contest will not lie settled until the
whole house of representatives votes
on it. In the meantime Mr. Knitter is
delegate, has been working hard and ,
is. still working hard in the interests
of the territory.
"Mr. Wickersham and his friends
have caused to be circulated through
out Alaska, and particularly along the
Yukon, posters setting forth that he
lias been seated as delegate. 1 am in
formed. Mr Sulzer will tie able to
show the falsehood of those reports. :
as he will be able to disprove manyjv
other misstatements and propaganda :,:
hurtful to the territory which has 1 A
tieen going forth from the opposition
lamps for months.
Accomplishments in Office
"Kver since he took office Mr. Sul
ter has been working night and day
for the interests of Alaska. Seldom ;
has there been a day in which his :
office was not open from b o'clock in ;
the morning until 11 o'clock at night, j
and with these strenuous efforts he ;
has been able to accomplish a great
deal for the territory. He will arrive :
in Juneau within a few days and I ;
believe the report of his accomplish- :
ments will lie such as to prove to |
the voters that It is to their best in
ti rests to send him hack to congress
'or another term to carry on the work
which has been so well started, and «
o push through successfully those |
neasures which he Initiated and
which have been under consideration
by congress for months.”
Waskey Knew Him
Former Delegate Waskey said |
Wirkersham's regime was one of
■piffle in Washington anil peddle in
Alaska." Times have changed, says
the Juneau Kmpire. Of course, we
au not prevent the peddling in
Alaska, but. by gum. we have stopped

COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo.. Sept. .
13 Seventy per cent more coke than
rver before will be available this year
o help solve the fuel shortage. This
supply will be further increased by

,\ ere some new facts presented to the
American Institute of Mining Enel
seers at the recent session here, in
he effort being made to till some of
he country's needs.
The pulverizing of coal to attain the
greatest efficiency was advocated be
fore the mining engineers. Some of
the advantages of pulverized coal
a ere stated as follows: The utilize
lion of every heat unit in the coal,
he reduction of labor for handling
tool, the maintenance of a constant
emperature in the furnace.
The mining engineers were also
old that coal mining in the state of
Washington had proven less profit
hie in recent years because of the
■xtensive use of fuel oil. It was pre
licted that higher prices for fuel oil
.vould increase the mining of coal on
his part of the western coast.
