TRAVELER RESENTED
PERSONAL QUESTIONS
A tall man wandered Into the office
of the Alaska Steamship Company at
Juneau and sauntering up to the coun
ter he addressed the agent:
“1 want a third class ticket to Cor
dova,” he said.
"All right,” said the agent, taking
a blank form and beginning to fill it
In, "Are you an American citizen?”
"No, I am not,” replied the tall man,
then. “What kind of new wrinkle is
this you're a springin', is it a new food
law you got?”
“Yes, it* is a new regulaton by the
government,” he was informed. “No
alien can travel without getting a per
mit from the district attorney.”
“Well, hold on here, with that
ticket,” commanded the tall man. "I've
been traveling to Cordova for nineteen
years, and if 1 can't go without asking
a lawyer, I'll just stay at home.”
A little further inquiry developed
the fact that the tall man was a citi
zen of Canada and consequently did
not need a permit to travel in the ter
ritory, so the ticket was issued and
traffic was allowed to continue.—•Ju

HEIST SIILZER
Thomas J. Donohoe, Democratic na
tional commtteeman from Alaska, was
a passenger on the Northwestern,
which arrived here Sunday night, on
his way to his home at Valdez. Just
before leaving Juneau Mr. Donohoe
was the victim of what appears to
have been a newspaper hoax, which
the Empire recounts as follows:
The joke is on the Dispatch and its
psuedo political writer. Today the
town held its sides with laughter, de
spite the rear-end winter Taku which
played with the whiskers of residents
about town.
Believing that Thos. J. Donohoe
Democratic national committeeman,
had departed on the Evans, and would
j be on the high seas where he could
, not answer misstatements for several
| days at least, the Dispatch, self-styled
, Republican organ, in its eagerness to
j boost the campaign of William Ma
| ioney, who is running against Sulzer
for delegate in combination with the
, Wickersham forces, reported that Mr.
I Donohoe had stated that Maloney
| would be the “king bee” in the “po
I litical puddle.”
For instance, in its opening para
graph, the Dispatch said:
i “T. J. Donohoe, Democratic national
committeeman for Alaska, calling or
William Maloney yesterday, prior t(
departing for the westward, admitted
that the mining inspector’s chances ot
defeating Charles Stllzer in the pri
j mary race for the Democratic nomina
j tion for delegate are good. The objecl
of the call, according to Maloney, was
to persuade him to withdraw from th(
i race."
When interviewed this morning, Mr
I Donohoe said there were just twc
j statements in the article published ir
j the Dispatch that were correct 01
, truthful. These were the statements
| that he called upon Mr. Maloney, and
| that he had endeavored to induce Mr
| Maloney to withdraw as a candidate
j for delegate in the Democratic pri
maries. Mr. Donohoe said his actions
j in this matter were largely actuated
by his friendship for Mr. Maloney as
the latter hitherto had been a loyal
party man and had rendered excellent
service in the last delegate campaigr
for Mr. Sulzer. Mr. Donohoe pointed
out to Mr Maloney that he was beinf
used by the remnants of the Wicker
sham machine in an effort to defeat
Mr. Sulzer, both in the primaries and
in the election. Mr. Donohoe also call
ed the attention of Mr. Maloney to th(
fact that he did not seem to be backet
by any of the known Democrats; tha
his present political manager, Fran!
Aldrich, formerly of Nome, and O. P
Hubbard, formerly of Valdez, coult
hardly qualify as bona fide Democrats
When the attention of Mr. Donohot
was called to the statement in the Dis
| patch that "Donohoe concedes the de
.feat of Sulzer in the primaries likely,’
fhe smiled over the absurdity of such e
I statement, absolutely denied it and or
| the contrary said that he demonstratec
tn Mr Malnnov thot
not get in the entire territory 200 Deni
ocratic votes at the primaries. Mr
Donohoe said that what he did con
cede was that Mr. Maloney would gel
all of the votes of the Wickershan
machine in the primaries, that O. P
Hubbard, John Frame, Dr. F. M. Boyle
! Frank Aldrich and James Wickershan
| could induce to come into the Demo
icratic primaries and vote for Maloney
as Wickersham has no contestant can
didate for the Republican nomination
and therefore does not need the vote
of the primaries.
Mr. Donohoe said he further ex
plained to Mr. Maloney that it would
be treachery to the Democratic party
and policies or President Wilson and
the national administration for him tc
seek the nomination as a candidate ol
the Democratic party by the vote ot
the Wickersham machine men; that it
would be a perversion of the primary
law to permit the Wickersham party
to cast their votes for Mr. Maloney in
the Democratic primaries.
Mr. Maloney did not, said Mr. Dono
| hoe, deny that he and his backers
were pinning their entire hope for suc
ceeding at the primaries on the prop
osition of inducing Wickersham fol
lowers to vote for Mr. Maloney at the
Democratic primaries. Mr. Donohoe
further said he stated to Maloney that
[Bulzer would get more votes that Ma
loney and Wickersham combined.
In a further discussion of the po
litical situation the national commit
teeman said that it is clear that Mr.
Maloney had been brought out as a
candidate by the Wickersham machine
supporters, they fully realizing that
they cannot defeat Mr. Sulzer for re
11 ——— I ■
election except by causing disenstlon
ill the Democratic party. They know,
of course, Mr. Donohoe said, they
would have a walkover if Wlckersham
lisd Maloney for an opponent at the
fall election.
It is my firm belief, however,”
, said Mr. Donohoe. "that the people
"f Alaska will not lie fooled by these
tactics, and will rally to Delegate Sul
v.er and will re-elect him by an over
I whelming majority. It is generally
conceded throughout the territory that
Sulzer has made the best Delegate
Alaska has ever had. He has been un
tiring In his work and In the short time
he has been in congress, has accoin
: pished more than Wickersham did In
his entire life as delegate."
In conclusion Mr. Donohoe referred
to the closing paragraph, that stated
that the Democrats would give him thf
fight of his life at the primaries.
Mr. Donohoe stated on the contrarj
• that he did not anticipate that Ma
loney would get votes enough at thf
primaries to justify taking his can
didacy seriously. He stated that Ma
loney had, so far as he knew, per
formed his duties as a mining inspec
tor fairly well, but as a delegate tc
congress he would be a joke, and ir
the language of the streets “would
have Tom Cale skinned a mile as t
first class boob."
It may be added that it is the wel
known tactics of the Wtckershan
forces to attempt stabbing in the back
by misquoting on political events whei
they think the principals have gotter
away where they cannot nail the lies
readily. The only mistake made this
time was the fact that the Evans did
not sail when scheduled, and there
fore the town enjoyed a good political
laugh today at the expense of the
eager political managers of the Ma
loney-Wlckersham machine forces.
