WICKERSHAM CAMPAIGN TALK
DISSECTED BY NEWSPAPER
Careful Study Reveals No Reason Why Alaskans
Should Support Ex-Delegate—Sumner
Smith Offends Partisans
(By Charles A. Derry)
Mr. Wiekcrsham mine to Anchor
age. launched his drive and again
retreated to the south, says the An
chorage Democrat. After twp weeks
of cool and careful examina
tion of his speech the following analy
sis of his "tanglefoot" is submitted'
to the Alaska electorate:
He told us that his father was a
Republican and that he, too, was a Re
publican. We have no quarrel with J
the father, but certain it is that if
he was a Republican he disowned the
son (James) politically long ago.
What has James Wiekcrsham ever,
done for the Republican party in
Alaska or Tacoma? Nothing but dis
rupt and light the party.
In politics he has been an indepen j
den!, mugwump. Wilson Democrat,!
and in fact everything but a Repub-;
lican. Joseph's coat is no longer pro
Rentable- Wick's worn it to a frazzle.
It's a ten to one bet th*t: he will
again be a candidate on the indepen
dent ticket in 1920, unless Mrs. Cor
nelia Templeton Hatcher and ex-Gov
ernor Strong nominate him on the
Prohibition ticket to "represent I lie 1
moral forces of Alaska."
He told us that the law passed by
congress, exempting miners from as
scssment work for 1917-1918, did not
apply to the territory of Alaska.
The answer is that it does apply
to Alaska, and the interior depart
ment lias so held, and that undue
Wtckers'num knew this. too. but nt
tempted to discredit Delegate Sulzcr's
efforts in congress and get you)' votes.
In this statement, as in 'most all olh
ers, he stands before the voters o:
Alaska thoroughly discredited.
Why did he make the most cow
ardly attack upon Mr. Sulzer that one
American citizen could make upon an
other, when he accused Mr. Sulzer
of being a slacker and intimated that
he was pro-German, when lie knew
in his heart (if he has one) that it
was not true?
There is only one answer. To cloud
the issues, get your votes and ride
into congress at tho expense of a
bettor man.
Why tile attack oti Governor Riggs,
one of Hie cleanest men who ever
came to the shores of Alaska?
Because Governor Riggs knows
what he is and what lie has been in
(digress and refuses to support such
a man
Why did he make his half-hour al
lack on Senator Chamberlain, when
all admit that lie is a great friend of
Alaska?
Heeimse Senator Chamberlain told
the truth when he said that Mr
Wirkersliam had nothing to do with
the hill passed by congress to lmild!
this railroad into Alaska.
If you send this man to congress
as your delegate, how do you think
l:e will stand with this great friend
of Alaska in the United States sen
ate. after the abuse he has heaped
upon him in his campaign for dele
gate to oengross?
Senator Chamberlain will, no
doubt, still continue to he the friend
of Alaska, but Mr. Wiikersham
would he promptly and rightly kicked
cut of his office if he were again to
ask for even an interview.
How can Judge Wiekcrsham shout
"gang" while Charles Herron of An
chorage and his followers arc not
only his supporters but his managers
in the Third division? Can you heat
this for a "gang"? No amateurs in
this bunch; they arc professionals
all of them.
Mr. Wiekcrsham. the days of dirty
politics and campaigns of personal
abuse have gone by In Alaska You
have used it. lived on it and In fact
bei n ; tlrl; - c v 1th it in th
past.
True, it was the only polities that1
von knew, but the voters of Alaska
have had enough of it, and no m ■>
can hope to he elected delegate to
congress from Alaska by making his,
fight along these lines.
The people of Alaska are demanding
cleaner politics. They want to see
their candidates come out on a plat
form on which they are willing to
stand and discuss the issues that con
cern Alaska. This is impossible ns
long as James Wickorsham comes
north for his biennial round-up.
It Is the duty of the voters, regard
less of party, to rally to the support
of Delegate Sulzer. eliminate Judge
Wickersham, mid thereby purify the
politics of Alaska.
We can “help Alaska and clean her
politics," but neither can ever be ae-|
cnmplished so long as we have James
Wickersham.
I,el us take Mr. Wickersham at
his word, and “vote for the best man"
Charles A. Sulzer.
Humors of the Campaign
Kvery campaign has its humorous
incidents, and this one Is no excep
tion. The Anchorage Times has been
abusing in its editorial columns Sum
m-r Smith, in charge of the govern
ment coal operations in the Mata
nuska district, because of courtesies
extended to Delegate Charles A. Sul
zer. Hut it appears that he had pre
viously extended the same courtesies
to Mr. Wickersham. and had earned
the praise of the Herron organ. The
Democrat recounts the matter as fol
lows:
"The Times prints this week a
fatherless communication from Chick
aloon in which Superintendent Sin
ner Smith is accused of working
against the Tacoma candidate for del
egate to the point of discourtesy, of
having extended undue aid and com
fort to Wick's political rival, and ol
general pernicious political activity.
"One Of the chief indictment!
against Mr. Smith was permitting Mr
Sulzer to ride on the hurricane deck
-if u speeder whi h happened to hi
going dawn the line, while the ex
Alaskan on his tour ol the brand
line was compelled to occupy a oush
Honed scat in a day coach with tin
common herd
"The plain facts are that Mr. Smlt
extended all possible courtesy to hot!
candidates, that no coercion has beet
attempted, that his partisanship ha.
extended no farther than an expres
sion of preference tor the Democratic
candidate a preference which h
practically unanimous along the line
and in no manner influenced by an;
government official.
"As conclusive proof that no dis
parity existed in Mr. Smith's treat
ment of the two candidates, thi
Times published a glowing account o:
the trip from which is reprinted tin
exuberant Teddy's' concluding para
graph:
"'Judge Wickersham was exceed
ingly gratified with his reception, ant
declares that he largely owes the sue
cess of his trip to Sumner Smith am
other prominent government official!
who were instrumental in arrangim
for the hull at fhickuloon and othei
courtesies extended.' "
The Wickersham organ at Anchor
age was willing to accord praise foi
courtesies to Wickersham, but th<
mutter assumed a different aspec
v. lien like courlesios were extcndei
to tin! Democratic nominee.
