DELEGATE WICKERSHAM VISITING CORDOVA. .
Cordova extends its greetings to Alaska’s delegate to con
gress, lion, .lames Wickersham, and lie is being cordially re
ceived by his many friends here. For the past eight years he
has represented this territory at Washington, and while he has
not accomplished all that the people desired, bis record of
achievement is one that he is campaigning upon for re-election.
For the past two weeks Judge Wickersham has been to tin*
. •
w < stward and he was cordially received at the towns he visited.
Meetings were lmld at Anchorage, Seward and Valdez, and as
lie is a most entertaining talker and has many matters to dis
miss of interest to the voters, he was greeted everywhere by .
large crowds. This is particularly true of Anchorage, where
l.s(M) thronged the Alaska Labor Union hall, while several hun
dred were unable to gain .admittance.
Delegate Wickersham will remain in Cordova until Thurs
day morning', when ho will leave by train for Chitina and other
<'opp -r i\eg towns, proceeding from there over the trail to his
lcmm at Fairbanks Before departing he will address the peo
ple of < ordova and the probabilities are that the meeting v dl
be .maimed for Wednesday evening. When the date for his
- peer 11 has been definitely decided upon it will be known as
V iekershani night, and it is no exaggeration to say that ‘.is
wh-onie lime will be as hearty as in any other town he has
visited.
-:o:
AS TO HYPHENATED AMERICANS.
T ■ voni' ilie Democracy, led by President Wilson, is pos
ing on its pure Americanism; they want no “ hyphenated Ameri
cans.”
Do they never think how grave an injustice to the millions
of I'on mu-born Americans that remark carries with it. I p to
two year ago ve had been receiving to our shores more than
one million foreigners from Europe. Some of them were,bad
mm, for our immigration laws were defective, but the great
ma s of them were strong and brave and true, just such men
(I wonu n as our race has been grafting upon its stock for a
i d ml fifty years. No one doubts their loyalty to tin*
! :,i• d Stab government; or doubts where they and their
ciil : n would -land were we to be assailed by a foreign power.
A in 1 M-t tie e. or many of t hose who have come in recent years,
and w !io-“ memories still magnify the loveliness of the institu
tion-- tin \ were born under, and' who still have near and dear
relatives in the lands of their birth, cannot refrain from sym
pathizing with both the people and the governments of those
lands. Would* we not be the same way if we were in a foreign
counlrr and our native land was under the Juggernaut of a
great war.
(if conr-e, there are some foolish and vicious foreign-born
I - in.!. ; nmiig u- who, in their excitement over wlmt their native
]:.iu 1 - r. suffering, find it convenient to denounce the l ilited
State-. But they are in the aggregate lmt a pitiable minority at
host 'ind none of them exceed in vindictiveness the American
horn II wood in his preaching anarchy. If we had our way
we would herd, corral and' brand all these, hut we could not
o;in \ 11n ,■unishment or suspicion to decent men who came from
1 he sain" land. All the tough ones need is a little discipline. To
bn ;d< tom - for their hoard would in a little while cure them—
our ‘ tin-in i ilough at least to make them keep their mouths shut.
But a. it her their acts nor thoughts ought to cause the an
il p.i thy which decent men hold against them, to extend to the
faithful one- who were horn in the same country that they were,
or to cause our public speakers to declaim against hyphenated
Americans.
As we run down the lists of the great names of our soldiers,
-tali-m "ii, writers, scholaf- and men of at fairs, quite halt ot
the,n have borne foreign names.
( nil i ace is w hat has come through the assimilation of for
i i n. r- We have welcomed them to our shores since the be
ginning; we have needed them as much as they have needed us,
Id us not I r\ to discount them now for that in truth is discount
ing ourselves.
The president now assures us that “America is ready ‘o •
fight.” IVrhaps Mexican and other humiliating events have
eau-ed u- tn lose pride upon which the president bore dow n witii
expressive emphasis a few weeks ago.

l'|, to date the Socialist party has given Cordova an oppor
tunity of hearing the best orator of the campaign, in the person
of Mr-. Kate Sadler. Hut it must also be remembered that
Hon. James Wickersham has not as yet spoken here.
---:o
It may be truthfully said that the territorial campaign is
now on in earnest. A number of spell binders have already
spouted, and there are more to follow. Just what effect all this
*• -peeehifyiug” is going to have on the average voter remains
to he seen. _
