PEN P0RTRII1
OF ALASKA’S
(Contributed by C. M. Frazier.)
The first w'e knew of him at Cor
dova he sent ns a United States com
missionor Then a judge came along
front the outside, for our district, wh<
was a brother of an eminent congress
man. Following him came a class
mate of til* president himself, n>
United Stnti attorney. He gave to
a newspaper reporter for governor o
the territory. He farmed out offices
to suit himself and the corporation
he served, with the touch of a king.
This was in 1909. We, new' comers
were informed that he was a grea’
man, and hail been doing the peopli
of Alaska in this manner since Me
Kinley's time.
His theory is that nobody in Alaskc
need be consulted. He and the tner
behind him on the outside know mori
titan the combined intelligence of the
entire territory. And so in 1912 h<
sent his man to Nome to get tht
proxies for the territorial Repnbltcar
convention, to be held at Cordova, sr
that he might absolutely control that
convention, proclaiming that Taft
must be renominated. Everybody in
Alaska was favorable to the renomin
ation of Taft, and Mr. Dictator knew
it. but he also knew that the Republi
cans of4 the territory had rebelled
against his dictatorial methods. He
came on to that convention in Cordova
with the First district proxies, gottei)
up in his own office at Juneau, In his
pocket, and his tnan came across
country with the Nome district, elect
ed himself chairman of that conven
tion— unseated enough delegates in
the Third division to give himself
control of that convention, and carried
everything with a high hand — not
that he wanted Taft delegates to the
national convention — not that hr
wanted a delegate nominated who
could be elected, but that he might
again be selected national committee
man, so that he could control the
patronage of the territory should a
Republican be re-elected president.
Alas. Taft was defeated — not that
he did not deserve to be elected, for
he had made a good president, but be
i fallen Into disreputable hands, of
which our notorious Alaskan was part
and parcel. He was now out of a Job
and pretended to resign, turning his
national committeeship over to his
clerk and partner. At a time when
the Republican party needed a cap
tain he deserted the ship. No "pork'j
in sight.
Two years ago he decided not to |
put a candidate In the field as dele
gate. and let the territorial organiza
! tion go to pieces. Four years without
; a word from the throne.
Now, something large looms on the
horizon. Heads are up, eyes kindling
. in anticipation of a Republican pre -
' | sidont on the fourth of next March.
| What do?s our beloved dictator do.
He jumps into the enemy camp. He
wants Wickersham, the man he has
fought for eight long years, to fold
him in ills arms. This dictator is the
greatest Wick man in Alaska now. •
Why? Because he knows the Repub
licans are going to nominate Wicker
I
sham, and the only hope he lias to I
boss the Republiearts of Alaska in tli“ !
future, as ho has in the past, is toj
get Wickersham’s support.
Are the Republicans of Alaska go
iiig to allow this Catiline of politics |
to assume Ids throne again? If so, send
>our proxies down to him at Juneau, j
It is useless to spend time and money
in going to Seward on the nineteenth
of the month to the Republican ter
ritorial convention.
We are reliably informed that at
■i meeting in Seattle not long ago,
tliis dictator and his money hackers,
j fixed everything for Republicans in
Unska. Wickersham was invited to
f
attend, hut refused. Not a single re
sident of Alaska attended that meet
ing except the dictator.
The question is, shall the resident
| Republicans direct the politics of!
\laska in their own way, or shall wej
take the scraps flung from this dic
tator's throne? We will see when we
j get to Seward.
You may ask why this self consti
'uled boss wants this job. Where he
gets Ids pay? Ask Jafet Ibnderberg
and ex Attorney General Wickersham
what it cost to get two votes for Taft
in 1912 at the national convenion.
