111 on t says;
"Another campaign is on. in which,
uniting oilier things, the voters ot
Alaska will lu- called upon, on Nov. if,
lo select hy their ballots a delegate
in congress. Charles A. Sulzer, liem
ocrat, who was elected to congr. ss in
lplil, is a c.indidate lor re-election, and
is opposed by James Wickersham. w ho
is running this year on the Kei.iiblic.iii
ticket.
"This document is printed, there
lore, and eirculatod among the voters
in order that they may haw- a com
prehensive knowledge of the work
done by Mr Sulzer and ol his ihtoiii
plishments during his term of oliice.
anti that they may have a more inti
mate understanding of the aims and
views ut the candidates."
Support of Administration
"Although the delegate from
Alaska has no vote ill the house ol
representatives," continues the docu
meni, ".Hr. Sulzer has in other ways
lent his active support to the adminis
tration at all times and has consist
ently backed up President Wiisun in
his war policies. Evidence of the fact
that he is in hearty accord with ftd
ministration leaders is given in a num
ber of letters from congressmen and
others which also appear in this docu
ment.
"Mr Sulzer has done everything in
his power to advise tin- people o!
Alaska id tin- true issues m the war.
as well as in keep Ikmii posted as to
war aims of tile administration, lie
has sent to Alaska lens of thousands
of pamphlets and patriotic literature,
uliilh were pc.idishc I by tile govern
ment to point mil the duplicity ami
baseness of tin- enemy and the falsity
ot tile Herman propaganda. Ill fact
the delegate succeeded in se, uring
for Alaska more patriotic literature
than any other congressman. The
reason for tHis was that he pointed
out to the bureau of public informa
tion the difficulty of obtaining read
ing matter in some of the outlying
sections of Alaska, which made it the
more desirable to furnish the resi
dents with official publications.”
Review of Work Done
The activities of Delegate Sulzer in
introducing and pressing for passage
legislation directly and indirectly of
bem :it to the territory and its resi
dents are given in detail. Beginning
with tile home rule hill, which was
; evievv* •! ?i Mbs column yc; terd.iy,
teg- tie r with the attitude of his op
; "cut. .V r. Wickorsham. as evidenced
in his testimony before the house com
mitteo on elections, showing that the
latter was opposed to the extension
ol powers oi the territory, the docu
ment recites a world of activities *-n
gage 1 in by Mr Sulzer. which is a
remarkable testimonial to the indus
try and persistence of Atoka's dele
' !'! ( n g -e- S.

n' ’ .' i • t endeavors to pro*, ide for ah ;
qu te protection and policing of the I
salmon streams, regulation of traps'
and the taxing thereof, and many
other provisions urgently needed at
this time. Mr Sul/.er's hill was pre
pared with great care and argued be
fore the committee on fisheries, and
he has invited criticism of the meas
ure in order to cure any possible de
fects
The delegate's activities in behalf
of the gold-mining industry are de
tailed at length, and it should be a
matter of pride and gratification to
Alaskans to know that Delegate Sui
ter was the leader in the campaign to
secure such assistance for this in
dustry that it might continue to exist !
Delegate Sulzer succeeded also in
securing an amendment to the army
appropriation bill whereby funds for
Alaska’s roads may hereafter be se
cured through estimates made bv the
war department and incorporation in
the regular appropriation bills, thus
obviating the former methods of un
certainty and dependence upon the
whim of some one disgruntled con
gressman, who could block the appro
priation by a point of order.
The end of the continuous squab
bling on this question for which Dele
gate’s Sul/.er's predecessor was re
sponsible is not the least of Mr Sul*,
zer’s accomplishments.

zer providing for free surveys or

result in great benefit to settlers in1
