I WICK ATTACKS
I ARE ANSWERED
I BY DELEGATE
Before u good-sized audience at the
Kmpiess theater last night Delegate
H Charles A Sulzer spoke for two hours
in behalf of his candidacy in the com
Wm ing election as the Democratic nomi
nee for the position which he has
T filled during the past year and a half.
His audience was sympathetic and
greeted the telling points which he
— made against his opponent with laugh
ter and applause.
In introducing Delegate Sulzer,
Mayor W. It. Hillery made a neat
speech in which he admonished the
voters of Cordova and vicinity to con
sider well the merits of the different
candidates and to vote for the one
who would best further the interests
j of Alaska, and especially of Cordova
and the Copper River valley.
As was to be expected, the charge
of James Wickersham that Mr. Sulzer
was a German and a "slacker” occu
pied a good portion of the speaker’s
time. He told of Wickersham's at
tempt to work up feeling against him
at different points in Interior Alaska
— | by intimating that he was a pro-Ger
man. and bow. when he was brought
Xy to task for this, had retorted that he
x he had not accused him of being a pro
jx German, but that he was a German.”

X; man army.
X* Mr Sulzer indignantly denied this.
•:j: and showed that his father, when a
mere lad of ix. had joined the revo
lutionists in Germany in 1X48. and on!
•:*: the failure of the revolt had been
compelled to escape from Germany
X; and eome to this cotintrv. where he
y.

could ilo more for the country and
for bis constituent* by remaining 1
hi post of duty “Blit," he inquired. ,
'what has Wickersham done to help
win this war. that hf. should talk of

He answered bis own question by
staling that although there writ plenty
of means by which the former dele
gate could have "helped to win the
war." he had demoted h: . entire me*-,

ickcrsham s attempt to gain credit
for iiatriotism on the strength of
g: mem hers of his family being in tin'
S service reminded the speaker of the
man piloted by Arteiuus Ward during
I tin civil war. who was so intensely
patriotic that he was willing to offer
up till his wife's relations on the altar
of his country
Wickersharn's propensities as a
"lighter" were dwelt upon Ity Ihe
sp stker, and he recounted the Dinner- 1
CIS controversies that had been a
feature of the stormy career of Mr
Wit kershatn w hile in congress. He
made the point that so lms\ bad the
former delegate- been in "fighting"
— eflieials with whom be bail tb-alltigs
*i Washington that lie had little
time to devote to the interests of his
constituents, ami that these suffered
ill eonseiptem-e.
Mr. Snlzer took up tile fisheries t)||]
and i-\plain>'d tin- measure lie had in
| ti' d'ieed in congress. lie- said that
I primarily the fisheries should be eon
trolled ami regulated by the territorial
legislature, as being better anpialntcd
wiih the needs and requirements of
this important industry The taxa
tion should be by the- territory alone
and the proceeds thereof should nil
be turned in to the territorial treas
ury. The bill as drawn had been
tv tentative one for the purpose of get
ting the matter before the fisheries
committee of the house at the earliest
possible moment, lie had invited
criticism of the measure and would
— be pleased to take up any suggestions
— that would make the hill better ac
complish its purpose of prop ting and
regulating the industry and prevent
I ing the depletion of Hits great resource
i of the territory.
Delegate SuDor took up the prohl
■ bltton queHtlon. which had heen pro
j cipltated into the earnpulgn by a cer
tain temperate e worker, who had ac
cused him of an endeavor to reopen
the question through means of his
i "home rule" measure. This, he said,
was wholly untrue. In fact the homo
rule bill especially provided that oil
that question congress alone could
act. as It had heen a congressional
measure which had prohibited the
liquor traffic in the territory. He said
that always had been an advocate of
prohibition, and that at the Demo
cratic convention two years ago he
J had endeavored to have the party do
| clare for prohibition, hut had heen
] outvoted on the question. He said
that any man who attempted to re
| open the prohibition question in the
i territory would meet with little sym
i pathy, as the people were heartily in
favor of prohibition.
The home rule Dill was thoroughly
discussed by the speaker, and he
showed that it was the intent of the
measure to allow the people of Alaska
a freer hand In the conduct of their
own affairs. So many restrictions
had been placed on the Alaska legls
lature by the enabling act. drawn up
by James Wickorsham, that popular
government did not exist in the ter
ritory tn the true meaning of the
words. And he showed how Wicker
sham had intended that this should
be tile ease by quoting that gentle
man's testimony before congressional
committees in which tie had stated
that these- restrictions were made be
cause he wanted to make it impossi
ble for the Alaska legislature "to de
troy itself.-' Mr Suizcr created much
merriment by pointing out that Wick
orsham's chief aim had been to pro j
t n the ie'-isb h:r< f m >1: bn.:
the congressional dclogatoship. a po
sition which he evidently looked upon
is h - personal prerogative
