Pertinent Facts as to
Election for Delegate
(Edited by Chas. A. Derry) j
Some More “Bunk” About That Contest—Delegate Sul
2et Tt’k of TIis Stewardship During the Past Two
Years—Legislation for Alaska and Its Status—Confi
dent as to Outcome of Contest
\T1(I we are exported to lieliexe
that while the world at large has not ,
been admitted to the secret, the eh'c
tions committee of the house of repre !
sentatives has “decided against Sul-j
zer and in favor of Wickersham. til |
though it has not reported to the house j
In other words, a judicial tribunal
which has imposed upon it the duty ;
of deciding points of law which may
result in tin* disfranchising of num
bers of residents of Alaska has made
known its decision to a newspaper
correspondent before it has reported
to the house! And to make this re
markable story more plausible, the
chairman of the elections committee
actually read portions of his unfin- i
ished report to the correspondent! j
To give the proper thrill, the corn*
spondent should have given verbatim j
the details of this report and have let '
the members of congress have the
benefit of his advance news.
All of which is on a par with that i
'■111' ■ r remarkable dispatch which
slated that tile house had adopted the
committee report and Wickersham hid
been seated as delegate from Alaska,
which of course was an entire fabri
cation not partly so. And Wicker
sham supporters have the temerity to
accuse Democrats of deceiving the
public! And as to "amateur politics,"
was anything ever perpetrated unite
so amateurish as this?
And as to deceiving the public, the
Wickersham newspapers have not yet
had the decency to correct the hold
and lying assertions.
And in the meantime Charles A.
Sulzer is delegate from Alaska in
the house of representatives.
Delegate Makes a Statement
"Full home rule for the territory,
(omplete control of the fisheries by
the people of Alaska, and gotern
niental aid for the gold miners 1 con
sider to be the three greatest needs
‘‘I feel also." continued Delegate
Sulzer. "that I owe it to tin* people
of Alaska and to myself to come
North at this time to l**arn the needs
of th** country first hand and also to
give personally an accounting of my
work in Washington. A great propa
ganda of misihiormation regarding
my work and standing at th** capital
has been in progress in Alaska for
some months, and I hope to expose
this by substantial proof which 1 will
submit to the people.
Expects to Retain Seat
"Since coming to the territory 1
have learned that forces opposed to
me have spread th** report broadcast
that 1 had been unseated as delegate
from Alaska Th** best evidence as
to the falsity of this assertion is th**
fact that today 1 received my salary
check for tin* month of August. The
elections committee never made aav
report to th** house, and no one kno vs
when the\ will report or what that
report will he. The contest will finally
he decided on tin* floor ol tin* house,
and 1 have every reason to hope that
that decision will 1 »** in my favor.”
Delegate Sulzer felt much pleased
over the reception given him at Ket
chikan, Craig. Wiangell and Peters
burg. and although In* has as yet vis
ited only a small part of the territoiy,
reports received by him make him
confident that he will be re elected in
November by a large majority He
believes that his work in Washington
has been such that the people will
think it to their best interests to re
turn him to Washington that he may
continue tin* program of progress
which he started eighteen months
ago. This program has been retarded
somewhat because of the war; but
notwithstanding this difficulty, good
progress haH been made.
The Spirit to Win
In speaking of war conditions, Mr.
Sulzer said that in the Hast It is the
same as in Alaska—-everybody is de
termined to win the war, no matter
at what sacrifice, and the delegate be
lieves that the nation is more united
today than at any time before
“In the early days of the war," said
Delegate Sulzer. "there was some crit
icism of Secretary linker and the ad
ministration as to the manner of han
dling the affairs of the war depart
ment. These critics, however, have
been forced to seek cover as Mr. Baker
has answered them by putting almost
two million men in Kurope and the
navy has done the transporting with
practically no loss of men. If there
ever were any slight mistakes they
are completely overshadowed by the
fact that America has put a fighting
army in France large enough to turn
the tide of battle."
The delegate will remain in Juneau
for several days before continuing his
trip to other parts of the territory.

Sulzer, delegate from Alaska, while
discussing conditions in the territory
with a newspaper man at Juneau the
other day.
"I believe my hills I<*i home rule

lieterring to his pre • nt trip t"
Alaska, air Sulzer said. I had in
tended to come North at an earlier
date, as it would have suited my own
convenience better, but I felt that my
presence was demanded at \\ ashing
ton to keep pressing several matters
pertaining to the territory which were
b**ing considered by committees of
congress. And by staying in Wash
ington I succeeded in securing favor
able consideration of the bill which is
known as 'the eighty-rod strip hill.'
whereby the eighty-rod reservations
between land entries along navigable
waters are abolished. I also received
favorable consideration of the bill
permitting agricultural entries on
coal lands, a thing much wanted by
the people in the vicinity of Anchor
age.
“The public lands committee voted
unanimously to report these favor
ably and as a member of that com
mittee I was authorized to draw up
and submit the report. 1 did that lie
fore leaving Washington and the hills
are now on the calendar and will be
enacted into law just as soon as they
can he reached, which will be some
time before the end of the present ses
sion.
