WiCKLRdHAM IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PEOPLE.
lb legale \\ iekershaiu is not getting his support from federal
office holder- in Alaska. Appointive officers represent the po
litical government at Washington and Wickersham represents
the elective portion of the territory and the interests of the two
lie far apart.
There was a time in Alaska when the wee small voice of the
elective population in Alaska was smothered by the appointive
officers. The latter controlled the situation and showed lit
tle respect or concern for the wishes of the people.
But with Wickersham battling for the interests of the peo
ple in Washington, year after year, and securing for them in
the face of <h tei mined opposition, local legislative functions,
tiler.- has lie.-n a considerable change in the attitude of appoin
tive offic. rwho now realize that the elective voice of the peo
ple with a spokesman like Wickersham, means that the time is
past v lieu they can longer ignore the elective wishes of the peo
ple. Indeed, with visions of statehood near, some of the ap
pointive officers are anxious to fill the offices that will be ere
ati il. Therefore, they have a willing ear bent to the ground
Aloivover, while trying to throw a monkey wrench into the
Wickersham elective support with one hand, they are actively
canvassing for votes for their legislative friend's with the othei
hand.
However, the people of Alaska have eyes to see and ears
to hear and have* knocked about the world enough to recognizi
the diff. re nee between copper filings and real gold. Wicker
sham ha- been tried and found true to their interests, and they
do not propose to -wap horses in crossing the stream. They an
glad to si-e the different candidates and hear what they havi
to eff.-r, hut most of them have already made up their mind's
and see no reason in changing delegates.—Juneau Dispatch.

ELECTION FORECAST.
Tim Chicago Tribune has made a close inquiry into the po
litical si-nlimem of the country and concludes, two weeks ii
advane; of election, that the prospects are good for the sue
cess of M r. 11 ughes.
'There are 5.‘!1 votes in the electoral college and a total o1
266 is needed for a victory. There are twenty-one states witl
210 oli otoral vote-, that are reliiibly Republican. There ar<
th'i-6 n tatos with ltd electoral votes reliably Democratic
There aiv fourteen states with 172 electoral votes in the doubt
fni column. In these Hughes must get 56 votes to win, whih
"Wilson must gain 117 out of the 172 to win. The surface chances
are thus plainly with the Republican candidate.
Of the doubtful states the vote of New York for Hughe>
and any otiaT one state with as many as 11 electoral votes
would giv • him the election. New York and Indiana, or New
York and < Hiio. or New York and Wisconsin, would do the trick
Yet Hughes might lose New York and still win. If Wilson loses
New York it is conceded by the Democratic managers that h<
lias but a slim chance for success.
New York, then, as in many past elections, is the great bat
1 h-gi'i mid, the crucial state in this campaign, and the Tammanj
organization. In retofore unfriendly to the Wilson administra
tion, is likelv to cast the deciding vote. Notwithstanding al
this, the Democratic managers claim that from 300 to 350 elec
total votes will be cast for Wilson, and' that every state outsidr
of the Democratic South is a doubtiul state.
The last time Tammany sunk its tomahawk into the De
Timeraev, in 1 DOS, New York went Republican by a plurality ol
202,602 votes.
Plainly, if there be grounds for Democratic optimism, it
must be from some cause not apparent to the average political
prophet. . .
BROTHER BILL’S PLATFORM.
In the Prohibition convention at St. Paul, the name of W il
liam Kulzer has been perhaps more frequently mentioned than
anv other, but his admirers were unable to obtain his nomina
tion. Soon afterwards, delegates to a convention of the Ameri
can party assembled in Minneapolis and nominated Mr. Kulzer
as candidate for president and Mr. I. (J. Pollard, of Indiana, for
vice president. This part) had been formed in New York two
vears ago, to enable Mr. Kulzer to run for governor and' thus
afford the people an opportunity to reverse the result of the im
peachment proceedings.
The American party platform declares for religious liber
tv, separation of church and state, free speech, free press, free
public schools, equal suffrage, prohibition, government owner
ship and control of public utilities, the initiative, referendum
and recall, and the abolition of child labor. Mr. Kulzer believes
that his party would “redeem America from rum rule and
Rome rule.”—Review of Reviews for Keptember.

Our “national prosperity” has now reached the point
where President Wilson’s department of agriculture is advising
housewives to begin using potatoes instead'of wheat in the mak
ing of bread, and the department is now ready to begin sending
out recipes.. .n_

STATEMENT BY SULZER
Valdez, Alaska, October 25, 1SI16.
W. W. Council,
Cordova, Alaska.
Understand that Wickersharn and his supporters since l
left Cordova have been exhibiting what purports to be a copy of
a letter claimed to have been written by me before 1 was nomi
nated as the Democratic candidate for delegate to congress
from Alaska regarding the wet and dry question, which is to
be submitted to the voters of Alaska at the coming election.
Regardless of what my personal opinion on this subject may be,
I pledge myself to the people of Alaska that if elected delegate
to congress I will positively be governed' by the will of the
people of Alaska on this question, and will do everything in my
power to carry out the will of the people as shown by the elec
tion returns. CHARLES A. SULZER.
