Pertinent Facts as to
Election for Delegate
(Edited by Chas. A. Derry)
This department is conducted In the interest of Charles A. Hulzer,
Democratic nominee for delegate in congress, and for the purpose of
putting before the public facts In support of his election as the repre
sentative of the territory of Al aska at Washington.
--- - ■ ..- I
The Nome Industrial Worker, which
is by no means a supporter of Dele
gate Sulzer, but which always has
been a close follower of political
events in the territory, says of the
former delegate:
"Judge Wickersham for some
strange reason has the happy faculty
of securing supporters for his banner
who live by faith. They do not pre
tend to reason. Political rationalists
are an abhorrence to them, and when
asked by some rash and inquisitive
person why they so strongly support
the judge, they fail hack upon the old
declaration that ‘he’s some fighter.'
But the propriety of getting a profes
sional fighter to represent us does not
suggest itself to these as a legitimate
conclusion from the premises. Some
time Mr. Sulzer. if he should happen
to he returned, may gather to himself
such an array of supporters as now
burn incense before Judge Wicker
_ sham men who delight instinctively
to classify themselves as blind fol
lowers of the blind. But in this re
sped, at any rate, the advantage is
all in favor of Wickersham."
Comes When He Wants Votes
Although Mr. Wickersham has been
out of office for nearly two years, he
has found no occasion tn make a trip
t > \laska until now. when looking
for a public job Most people, when
they have ceased to he a resident of
.** state or territory, cease to aspire

esfy Which do the people of Alaska
want to he represented hv a delegate
residing within the territory nr b> a
'gentleman from Tacoma or some other
section of the I'nited States? An
(borage Democrat
Not True, but—
Judge Wickersham says in derision,
that Delegate Sulzer copied his (Wick
ersham'si homestead bill It happens
to l>e not true. hut. following his cus
tom of doing the best tiling irrespec
tive of who might get credit, Mr. Sul
zer would not hesitate to do such a
thing if Wickersham’s hill or hills
were satisfactory It is an unwritten
rule with men who work for results
at Washington, and not for personal
political profit, to use hills that have
been introduced before and been be
fore committees and received pub
licity. when they are applicable.
Therefore* Mr. Sulzer would not hesi
tate to use a bill that Judge Wieker
, sham had introduced if it should meet
1 the purpose he desired. He is not as
little as Wickersham.
| However, Delegate Sulzer’s home
stead hills were prepared by Commis
sioner of the (leneral Land Office
" Clay Tallman and Judge Fisher, law
“ adviser of the interior department, at
the request of Delegate Sulzer. and
with the knowledge of Secretary of
the Interior Franklin K. Lane. They
had the approval of the interior de
i partment Juneau Fmpire.
Support the President
It also seems clear that the voters
j will favor Democratic nominees
| wherever they are the right sort of
! Americans, because Democrats mav
; be expected to give their whole
hearted support to an administration
that must be supported to win the
war A sample fact to support this
view may he found in the vote on
the resolution giving the President
control of the telegraph and telephone
for the duration of the war. The only
negative votes were cast by fourteen
Republicans.- St Louis Republic
How to Indorse Wilson
’ If you are in favor of placing the
stamp of approval on the administra
tion of President W ilson the only way
for you to do so is to support the
party that placed him in office Sore

>ou are in favor of the President and
his administration you are in favor

Wickersham vs. Guggenheims
Judge Wickersham is again asking
the people to elect him to rescue
Alaska from the ‘'Guggenheims." He
asked that ten years ago almost im
mediately after the "Guggenheims"
had refused to hire him to !>•• their
attorney 11* was in emigres- eight
years. Tin* only thing he e\er did to
the "Guggenheims" was to get a bill
through congress relieving them from
the obligation of paving taxes on their
railroad * * * The Guggenheims
are not afraid of W ickersham. They
have become accustomed to his hark
ing. only to come fawning after the
noise ceases to attract attention.— j
