CORDOVA’S OPPORTUNITY.
At tomorrow’s election Cordova lias an excellent chance of
securing a representative in the territorial legislature. As her
only candidate for political honors the town presents the name
of George Dooley, Republican nominee for senator. Every vote
in this community and the Copper river valley should take suf
ficient pride to see that a big majority is forthcoming for our
townsman.
This is no time for factional jealousies or factional differ
ences. There are but two senators elected from this division,
and as Cordova was fortunate enough to have one of its citizens
nominated for this office he should be given a united support.
We may not soon have the opportunity of again supporting a
Cordovan for this office.
li must be said to the credit of George Dooley that he has
i n one of the most enthusiastic and persistent boosters for
this community, and the fact that he has been prominently
identified with the growth and general prosperity of Cordova
entitles him to some consideration. He has been a man ever
ready and w illing to lend a helping hand to all in distress—one
who at all times has circulated lists to help the widow, the af
flicted or any one in need. There has been hundreds of such

got id wcuA Dooley lias done along these lines. In fact, he has
. !\\ ;,ys been prominent in all things of a charitable or fraternal
nature, as well as being the prime mover in the various public
( ''h Inatinns held, which have bee handled in a most capable
manner.
ii is now ii]» to the people of Cordova, regardless of party ,
at filial ions, to cast their ballots tomorrow for Dooley as a
token of appreciation for the one best booster for the town. If
< 'ordova is ever going to have any representation at Juneau, Mr.
and Mrs. Voter, it is up to you to stand by the home candidate.
!...>■ aside all potty political feeling and vote for George
i )ooley for senator.
h was primarily through his efforts that the fire d.pait |
nient was originally organized and he has at all times worked;
to increase its efficiency; lie has been identified with all public
movements, was a member of the city council, has held nuuier
oi" positions of trust, is a large property owner, an old resident
i : Alaska, has raised a large family in Cordova, was a placer
miller in the Slate creek country in the early days, was a deputy
marshal during the construction days, is at present chief of
police, and was a detective in Chicago before coming to Alaska. I
George Dooley has a record of achievement that qualifies
him lor the office to which he aspires, and it would certainly
he gratifying to him and a boost for Cordova to give him a big
vote tomorrow.

THE PEOPLE S CANDIDATE.
The national endorsement given James Wickersham is
aluable only in showing the esteem in which he is held by men
In* have closely observed his work in congress. Frank P.
Woods, of Iowa, chairman of the national Republican congres
sional committee; Congressman Albert Johnson, of Washing
ton; Miles Poindexter, candidate for United States senator from
Washington, and Wesley Jones, of Washington, all of whom
have endorsed his candidacy and his work in behalf of Alaska
in congress, are veterans in congress, and know what they are
talking about. i ? v.
The charge is made by the opposition and' reactionary press
that Mr. Wickersham has not done anything in congress. These
men declare that he has; that he is an able representative and
has safeguarded Alaskan interests, and their testimony is
therefore in support of the claims made by his friends.
That Jude ■ Wickersham will be returned to congress by
a decisive ma jority there is no doubt. People who have watched
tin campaign closely say that he will carry the Second, Third
ml Fourth divisions by the largest vote he has ever received.
In the First division a bitter personal fight has been waged’ and
although his opponents claim they will carry that section
'gainst him, the result is apt to be very close and cannot be de
cidrd until the votes have been counted. In any event, it will
have no particular bearing on the election, which Judge Wick
er-ham is sure of carrying, the only question being as to ma
jority. Fven bets have been offered, with no takers, that Wick
er-ham will defeat Sulzer by a thousand votes, and some of the
delegate’s friends claim his plurality will be over 2,090.

KNUTE NELSON’S OPINION.
The other (lav Kmiie Nelson, Minnesota’s old war horse,
lmckled on his armor, and attacked the Wilson administration •
all along the line, completing the job with a finish such as few
men can apply, lie has a wide influence among farmers of his
and' neighboring state's and working men put great store by his
rugged honesty. Speaking of the Adamson eight hour law, he
said:
In all my legislative experience, extending, with intervals,
over a period of 4K years, l have witnessed nothing so humiliat
ing as this legislation (the Adamson bill), and the circum
stances under which it was passed. And never before in the
history of this country has its chief legislative body been seized
by the throat and compelled to legislate as in this case.
The great mass of worthy and poorly paid railroad em
ployees are utterly ignored, and the rights of the great Ameri
can public are utterly disregarded.
As a fair man, as a just man, and above all, as the chief
executive of our country, In* ought to have acted impartially,
and 1 lie only impartial course to pursue was to insist on arbi
trating all the issues.
The conduct of the president and of the Democratic party
in this case demonstrates, beyond peradventure, how utterly
unfit he and his party are to be entrusted with the government
of our noble and magnificent country.
