WICK REFUSES
TRUST PEOPLE
TO DECIDE n
Former Delegate James Wicke
sham says that he has definitely d
cided not to offer his name as a cai
didate for election as delegate to coi
gress at the special election that :
to be held June 3. He will rely hpc
what he regards as a chance to coi
test successfully the election held lai
November.
It is said that Wickersham has d
cided that he stands a better chanc
to win a contested election case tha
to gain the favor of the Alaska voter
Since the end of the war hundreds <
Alaskans have returned from the ws
—men who had entered the service (
the country and were willing to off<
their lives in the life and death strui
gle against German autocracy. Thes
men were not in Alaska to vote at th
last election, and Judge Wickershai
is afraid that so many of them woul
vote against him, and that he woul
lose so many of the votes because <
the assaults he made against Alask
development during the two month
that he held a seat in the last coi
gress, that there is absolutely n
chance for him to be elected by th
people; therefore he will make a fig!
on technical grounds for the seat i
congress and place on the payroll.
Circumstances Favor Wick
Judge Wickersham has arrived i
his decision not to let the people (
Alaska decide the question as to wh
they want for delegate if he can pn
vent it, notwithstanding that all th
advantage in the fact of a short can
paign and the likelihood of not read
ing some of the outlying precincts wit
election supplies and notices is in h
favor. He has been a candidate b
fore the people of Alaska in congre
sional elections six times, and has onl
recently completed the most thoroug
campaign of the territory that any
man ever made. For more than four
months he toured up and down Alas
ka’s areas, visiting most of the pre
cincts of all four of the territorial di
visions. He is probably the most
widely-known man in the territory,
* and is known by many times as many
voters as know Mr. Grigsby.
Further than that, the remote pre
cincts of the Koyukuk, Fortymile,
Chandalar, Kantishna, Bristol Bay
•- and elsewhere, where there may not
i- be elections, gave majorities against
i- him in the late elections. The pre
i- cincts which will hold elections in
s June gave him a plurality in the No
n vember election.
i- People 8hould Decide
it In the election last fall it is con
ceded that the late Delegate Sulzer
)- received more votes than Judge Wick
e ersham. The latter, however, has con
n eluded, upon the advice of Juneau poll
i. ticlans, and, it is said, depending upon
if his ability as a wjre-puller at Wash
r ington, to upset the result of that
if election and have enough votes
r thrown out to leave him with a small
;- plurality. Even if he should win "in
e his efforts he would have to admit
e that, counted at its best from his
n standpoint, last year’s election would
d be practically a stand-off—a tie. Yet,
d notwithstanding the advantage a short
if campaign would give him, he is un
a willing to permit a participation in a
s decision as to who will be their rep
i- resentative by the returned soldiers
o and war workers—there will probably
e be from 1,500 to 2,000 more voters in
t Alaska June 3 than there was last
n November, and all of them are and
will be constituents of the delegate to
congress.

ated Press).—A statue of “XochtpUH," I
Aztec god of flowers, has been tils- (
covered by William Niven, an Ajnsri- t
can archeologist, who has been con- e
ducting investigations for many years c
in this city. The statuette, the first c
representation of the god known to t
have been discovered in virtually a i
perfect state of preservation In mod- <
ern times, was dug up at Atzcapot
zalco, a suburb of the capital, which i
prior to the coming of Cortez was the <
seat of a powerful Indian nation, but 1
which at the time of the conquest was 1
the great slave mart of the inhabit
ants of Tenoxtitlan, home of the Az- I
tecs and the site of the modern City t
of Mexico. In addition to its slave <
trade, Atzcapotzalco was noted for its
expert jewelers and wonderfully culti

TRAIN CAR ING GOLD j
IS WELL GUARDED
BRUSSELS, May 16 (by Associated
Press).—The official train from Ger
many which transported to Brussels
220.000. 000 marks in gold carried also j
100.000. 000 marks in thousand-mark
bank notes. Most of these are to be
exchanged against their equivalent in
bank notes of 60, 20, 5, 2 and 1-mark
denominations out of the seven mil
liards of marks of German iponey I
stored in the vaults of the Belgian
National Bank.
The exchange is made in response
to a demand from the Reichsbank,
which lacks bank notes of small
amounts.
The train which arrived witl the
German gold was escorted by 10!) sol
diers, and a machine gun was posted 1
on each wagon till the train reached
the Belgian frontier.
