THE DELEGATE CAMPAIGN
Interest in the forthcoming dele
gate campaign has been very ma
terially stimulated by the action of
the committee of the house of rep
resentatives, which decided last week
that Judge Wickersham is entitled
to the seat in congress now occu
pied by Delegate Sulzer. Should
Mr. Sulzer be unseated before the
-adjournment of congress, it will re
■quire a lot of campaigning to in
sure his re-election this year, not
withstanding the fact that he has
rendered valuable service to the
territory during the time he has
represented Alaskans at Washington
and to the further fact that he is
well thought of by President Wilson
and the heads of the various de
partments at the national capital.
The fact that a committee of con
gressmen, largely Democratic, have
decided that the election of Mr.
Sulzer -was not regular, will cause
the shifting of many votes to Wick
ersham. and the influence of the
powerful Democratic machine will
be taxed to the utmost to prevent a
landslide. The voters of Alaska like
a square deal, and many of them
now feel, as the result of the de
cision of the congressional com
mittee, that Mr. W'ickersham waj
not treated with fairness by Judge
Jennings and the other powerful
Democratic supporters of Mr. Sulzer.
Mr. Sulzer will find, upon his re
turn to Alaska to conduct his cam
paign, that sentiment is not so much
sagainst him as against the men who
•were responsible for the decision
which enabled him to go to Wash
ington. And this anti-machine sen
timent, of which we doubtless will
hear a lot during the campaign, will
make it hard sledding for the candi
date of the Democratic party. A
lot of things must be explained.
Probably, next to Judge W'icker
sham, the men who will find great
est satisfaction in the decision of
the congressional committee, are ex
Governor Strong and Surveyor-Gen
eral Davidson, both of whom were
•accused, as members of the terri
torial canvassing board, of favoring
Wickersham and betraying their own
party. And the vindication of these
men by an impartial committee of
‘congressmen reasonably may be ex
pected to help Wickersham at the
■coming election. Whether or not
it will elect him will depend upon
the ability of the Democrats to ex
plain satisfactorily the questions
whach will be asked of them during
the campaign.
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
Elsewhere in this issue there is
published a list of books overdue
at the library at Union Hall, as
checked from the records there on
the evening of June 28.
The records may be in error, in
some cases; but no doubt are gen
erally correct.
Many of these books are long
overdue. In some cases this may be
accounted for by the holders of
books being out along the line of
railroad, and unable to return the
books on time. This is, of course,
excusable; the impossible cannot be
expected.
But the holders of overdue books
in Nenana can have little excuse for
not returning them on time; not
to do so shows lack of co-operation
with the library, without which the
library must of necessity fail of the
service to the public for which it
was intended.
If your name is on the list and
the book has been returned, instead
of losing your temper about it call
the attention of Mr. Gagnon so that
the record may be corrected as far as
is possible.
Some books stand charged to
people who have gone Outside. If
you know where any of these books
are you will confer a favor by re
turning them.
Read the list through and help
out a worthy cause.
CLUB THANKS LADIES
FOR WORK ON BANQUET
The ladies of the Red Cross, to
whom is due full credit for the
success of the banquet recently given
at the Nenana club rooms in honor
of the departing draft boys, were
tendered a vote of thanks by the
Nenana Commercial club, at the
meeting of that organization held
on Sunday, for the efficient manner
in which the affair was handled.
The banquet idea originated with
the Commercial club arid all obli
gations in connection with the ban
quet have been assumed by that or
ganization; but the work was done
by the ladies, Red Cross committees
having prepared and served the ban-,
quet, and arranged the program*
which proved so enjoyable a part
of the affair.
A vote of thanks also was tender
ed the Nenana club for the use
of the club rooms.
Food control in North America
today means chiefly getting the
food across the Atlantic at all costs.
