SPLENDID RECORD OF SlILZER
DURING TERM IN CONGRESS
Activities in Behalf of Constituents Entitle Him
to Continued Confidence—Wickersham’s
i Standing as a Republican
i By Charles A. Derry)
It is doubtful if any delegate to con •
gross or represent at ive in congress j
for that matter, ever in the same' |
length of time made more friends for j
himself and his constituents or earned 1 <
a wider reputation among senators, i
. congressmen and heads of depart- I
ments at Washington for earnest and |
capable work for his constituents ;i
than Mr Sulzer made ami earned in \
a year and a half as Alaska’s repre- r
sentative at the national capital, says t
the* .luneau Km pi re. leading sena- r
tors, leading members of the house <
of representatives, including the t
speaker himself, cabinet officers and f
others, are very emphatic in their
commendation of Mr. Sulzer’s ability, i
industry and personality and their ap- r
proval of his loyalty to his eonstitu- i
cuts. The\ have found that he know; :i
the facts when asked concerning <:
Alaskan matters, that he meets the* g
issue's squarely, and tells the truth, j
They have found that he represents \
no special interest, and that he has
no personal enemies to punish or
grouches to serve*. They have found v
him straight forward, a patriotic Amor- c
ican and a representative of his peo- 1:
pie in every sense of the word. a
Mr. Sulzer is all of these. He is a u
man of splendid abilities lie- is lion- d
est to the* core And he is a typical !:
Alaskan om» who came h« .'«* not to t
hold ofli • or mix in politics, hut to t
mine and grow with a growing coup- «
try. Mr Sulzer lived here a dozen |
years before he was called to hold
public office. During all of that time
he attended strictly to his own busi- I
ness. He spent years in Alaska at a e
time without going out even for a <
visit lie* developed a successful mine \
and won the* love ami confidence of p
his employes and neighbor.--. When |
lie was nominated for territorial sen "
ator he was too busy to leave the h
mine during, the campaign and was s
elected without making any sort of a <•
campaign. Then came a demand for t
his nomination for delegate to con- c
gross. It same from all sections of tc
Alaska. It was a call to lead, and he r
accepted the call as a matter of pub
lie duty. He made a straightforward w
campaign, presenting clearly to the h
voters of the territory the cause of
Alaska for Alaskans the government
«if Alaska by Alaskans in Alaska, and t<
he was elected. a
Then came a year of disinterested, s
fadhful and able service to the peo- ti
pie of Alaska, when he submitted, at d
the request of people from all sec- tl
tions, his candidacy for renomination p
at a primary election. He remained c;
at his tasks at Washington and let h
his constituents pass upon his eandi
dacy as they would. The election e
was hotly contested throughout the ••
territory. 'Flu* Wickitcs shot at him rl
their arrows of malice and hate, poi ti
soiled by the personal ambition of tl
Wickersham to get back on the public tl
payroll and by the ambitions of a a:
horde of disgruntled politicians to ai
gather crumbs at the pie counter. Ye
after a primary ele tion held in all ti
the precincts of tin* territory, Mr Sul t<

A man should he judged by his a
deeds, not ! y his words. James Wick si
ershnm has beep telling the people of fn
Haska that “politics is adjourned
lus year." that he is a hearty sup
orter of President Wilson in his war
olicies and of Secretary Lane in his
fforts to build and equip the govern
lent railway in Alaska. He says that
he President has just as loyal sup
orters among the Republicans as
mong the Democrats in congress
nvich latter is true to a certain do
ree Rut it should not be forgotten
hat chief support of the MeLemorc
[•solution, the main resistance to tin
raft measure and tin* opposition t<*
he war appropriation hill came from
In* Republican ranks.
Put granting that the Republicans
i congress are now working in bar
mny with the President for the win
ing of the war. and that this is “not
Democratic war." and several other
t the platitudes that Wiekershani is
iving expression to. what has the Re
ublican attitude to do with James
U kersham? Never in his cateer in
Jaska has lie been other than a
Wiekershani party” man except
lien he could dominate and control
lie or the other of the parties for
is own particular benefit. Two years
go he could have been the nominee
f the Republican party of \laska for
elegate. but this he refused because
e could not control and dominate
10 party machinery. And thi i.
ie man who now has tin* an
aeify to denounce what he is
leased to term the Democratic
rin g"!
Two years ago. at a time when
resident Wilson was beset by t he
rc.tfest problems that probably ever
ant routed an American President.
Wiekershani was supporting his op
loient. Put although he was a sup
orter of Hughes, he was not co
perating with the Republican party
• Alaska. He was a party unto him*
df superior to any party which he
>uld not dictate to. Also at that
me he was bitterly denouncing the
induct of the department of th»* in*
*rior in its construction of the Alaska
ill road.
Party politics is always "adjourned"
ith James Wickershani except when
!• can control it
