In the current campaign, Alaska is witnessing
some of the strangest occurences in its political history
If sees in Southeast Alaska, for instance, a combina
tion of capital baiters, as the W. L. Paul-Indian Phal
anx has been termed. Judge James Wickersham, whc
rode to his first elective office and held it for 12 years

years to bring about his political demise.
NORTHERN LEADER FLEEING
WITH MAJORITY OF
HIS TROOPS
NANKING, China, Oct. 8. (TP)
—The Nationalist military head
quarters here claimed the cap
ture of Cheng Chow from the
northern rebel troops command
ed by General Feng Yu Shiang.
Although the claim was not
verified it is thought that it is
probably true. Cheng Chowr is an
important railroad city in the
northern Honana province and
for weeks was headquarters of
the northern general Feng and
he held that ground for a long
period against the determined
Nationalist attacks.
The announcement also said
that the Nationalists had taken
Honan Fu, 50 miles west of Cheng
Chow on the Haichow Tungkwan
railroad. Feng is reported as re
treating with the majority of his
200.000 troops.

ORESTEST
BOSTON, Oct., 8, UP)—Seven
ty thousand Legionaires parad
ed in one of the greatest mili
tary spectacles New England
has ever seen.
The parade started in the
morning and ended in dark
ness. Four hundred bands were
in the line of march, reviewed
by General Pershing.
General Henry Gouraud, his
right arm sleeeve empty, stood
with General Pershing. The
French war hero and Pershing
stood for hours saluting. Planes
f.nd the dirigible Los Angeles
soared overhead. Many specta
tors were injured in the crush.
TWO WOMEN SHOT
LONDON, Oct., 8, (/P)_ News
which horrified all England was
received in a cable to the Lon
don headquarters of the Church
Missionary Society saying that
two of its women missionaries,
Miss Edith Nettle ton and Miss
Eleanor June Harrison, had been
shot by Chinese bandits who
held them captives since last
June.
On both party tickets then
is something out of the ordi
nary. Wickersham seeking elec
tion as an Administration Re
publican candidate for Delegate
to Congress, openly pledging tc
support President Hoover and
laying down the proposition
that he packs no other man’s
j battle, possibly referring to the
| delegate’s long warfare against
j Hoover as Secretary of Com
j rnerce, while the delegate is
campaigning for him in Interior
Alaska, is by no means the least
of the queer spots.
Still another wrinkle is the
i position of nominee W. K. Keller,
| of the Grand Old Party, for
j Commissioner of Education. It
| had been his original intention
I to file as an independent be
i cause, as he has frequently
j stated, he is convinced the posi
| tion has no business being made
i political and subject to the
whimsies of partisan and party
politicians. Yet Mr. Keller’s
name is appended to a platform
in the First Division that makes
no mention of removing the
Alaska School system from poli
tics. and it is generally known
that his First Division colleagues
refused to make any such pledge
to the voters.
Not the least strange of the
current phenomena is the can
didacy of Walstein G. Smith,
Republican nominee for Treas
urer. Mr. Smith is dean of all
Territorial office holders. In fact
he took office shortly after the
organization of Territorial form
of government here and so skill
fully has he played his cards
that, no matter whether the ad
ministration w'as Democratic or
Republican, he always kept his
feet under the banquet table
and fed from the choicest viands
out of the lockers of both par
ties while more consistently re
gular Democrats and Republi
cans, as the case happened to
be, went begging for a few
crumbs.
This Smith candidacy is re
markable when one comes to
study it. Seventeen years have
slipped by since he was dug out
of Kataila as a Democrat by the
Democratic Governor J F. A.
Strong and brought to Juneau
to preside over the Territorial
Treasury. Until 1917, he remain
ed Gov. Strong’s warm friend.
Then along came Thomas
| Riggs, Jr., to succeed Strong,
| who failed of reappointment.
Odds were offered by the know
ing politicians that Smith would
walk the plank. But Gov. Riggs
succumbed to the Smith charm;
and there was another term in I
the Smith suit cases. Friendship I
developed between the two, the [
liking of two warm-hearted, gen- \{
erous, big men for one another, ji
Then came 1920 and the |;

j in 1780, heard President Hoover
i plead for the preservation of
j American institutions.
Many hearers were employees
| of the textile mills here where
I last year communists stirred the
; laborers to strike.
To them the President said:
“Socialism or its violent breth
ern Bolshevism” destroys the
spirit of equality of this govern
ment. “Through universal edu
cation we train runners and
strive to give an equal start; the
government umpires are fair.
Boshelvism and socialism com
pels the runners to end the
race equally. Anarchy would
provide neither training nor um
pires. The classes who win what
ever their demerits or merits, all
mean destruction of our Consti
tution. The government picks
those who run and those who
win. according to the race they
ran.”
He took a special train back
