IS JAS. WICKERSHAM RESPONSIBLE
(Continued from Page Three)
chorage, the seat of the railroad construction, gave Wicker- -
sham a majority at each election in which it participated indi
cates that very little persuasion was exercised by tbe cornmis
,sion. He also reiterates the discredited story of Governor
Biggs having made a tour of the territory for political purposes
and that he made public political speeches while traveling at
government expense.
It is difficult to find excuse for the portion of the letter
which charges Governor Biggs and others with being impli
cated in illegal voting, and it is yet more difficult to understand
what effect this action, even supposing it to be true, had upon
the “failure” of the government railroad.
A Scurrilous Ending
This most sensational of Wickersham productions closes
with a series of scurrilous charges which are reproduced
above. The entire document should be reproduced for the edi
fication of the Alaska people, so that they might gain some
inkling as to what the activities of their former delegate had
been during the short period he occupied a seat on the floor of
the house of representatives. But it is impossible to reproduce
it at length here. The letter, it will be noted, is dated January
8. The Wickersham-Sulzer contest was decided on January 6,
and the successful contestant took his seat on that day. So
that he lost no time.
With such reckless charges and insinuations being dinned
into the ears of members of congress and others who would
listen, is it any wonder that funds are not forthcoming for the
continuation of the great project which means so much to the
residents of Alaska? That no great enthusiasm was shown
by congressmen for the continuation of work on an enterprise
which was, according to the then delegate from Alaska, so in
terwoven with scandal, inefficiency, misconduct and even crime,
is not surprising.
It looks as though the failure of the Alaska railway appro
priation could be attributed to but one person, and that person
James Wickersham.
RECO )S
UNDESIRABLES’
DEPORTATION
The chairman of the Cordova local
board, under the selective service
regulations, received the following let
ter from the members of the associat
ed local boards of Seattle and King
county, regarding aliens claiming ex
emption from military service:
To members of all local and district
boards:
At a recent meeting of members of
all local boards of Seattle, Washing
ton, a resolution was unanimously
adopted to initiate a nation-wide
movement having for its purpose the
deportation of all nliens, both declar
ants and non-declarants, who had
claimed exemption from military
service on the mere ground of non
citizenship.
The exemption of aliens was the
most exasperating experience of the
boards. , The action of such aliens
was cowardly, disgraceful, and un
patriotic. Every such person immedi
ately branded himself as a dangerous
and undesirable resident. This coun
try nurtured and protected these in
grates. At the very first test, when
this nation faced a crisis, these men
were not willing to bear any burdens.
For every alien so exempted a good
American boy had to go to the front.
These aliens remained at home in
ease and safety.
They still retain good jobs to the
exclusion of our returned soldiers.
Many organizations seem to center
all their attention on the aliens who
surrendeded their papers. You, as a
member of the draft board, can see no
difference between the alien who sur
rendered his first papers and a non
declarant claiming exemption—both
of them are of the same brand of para
sites. A man not willing to fight cer
tainly would not make a desirably
citizen. If congress is so intent upon
deporting only the alien who surrend
ered his first papers, then at least
congress should by statute make It im
possible for the non-declarant alien
claims exemption to be naturalized.
Congress is now^consldering a bill
to restrict immigration. We believe
boards should urge congress to pro
hibit all general immigration for at
least a period of years.
The combined influence of draft
boardB upon the question of deporting
11 1 *~~
aliens and upon immigration laws
would be tremendous. We suggest
and urge that you immediately write
to each congressman and senator from
your state. Get every patriotic and
fraternal organization to do likewise.
The legislatures of many states are
now meeting; concerted action should
be brought to bear to memoralize con
gress along these same lines.
The Cordova local board is in ac
cord with the resolution adopted by
the associated boards, and will take
immediate steps to endorse the move
ment, having for its purpose the de
portation of all aliens, both declarant
and noti-declarants who had claimed
exemption from military service on
the mere ground of non-citizen3hlp.
