CONROY MAKES THREATS
—
A matter of more than usual local
interest is the contest between Dr. W.
W. Council of Cordova, and Mr. M. J.
Conroy of Anchorage, for the Demo
cratic nomination for the office of ter
j ritorial senator in the coming primary.
Dr. Council has resided in Cordova for
many years ami he is well and favor
ably knowm throughout this region.
Mr. Charles H. Wilcox editor of the
Valdez Miner has also filed as a can
didate for the House of Representa
tives on the Democratic ticket. The
, methods used by Mr. Conroy to se
; cure votes for himself are amply illus
trated by the following letter from Mr.
j Conroy U> Mr. Wilcox. Judged by Mr.
! Wilcox’s reply w’hich is also quoted
below, the tactics employed by Mr.
Conroy are not likely to bring him
many votes. The two letters follow':
Anchorage, April 19, 1924.
| “Mr. C. H. Wilcox.
: Valdez, Alaska,
j Dear Sir:
Am well aware of the fact that Don
! ohoe & Dimond, the so-called Demo
cratic “bosses” of the Third division,
are making personal appeals by let
ters and telegrams to their followers
in the various towns to knife me and
support Council. Presume, this is a
i privilege they have got, but eventual
I ly there will be a day of reckoning
and the rising tide of independence of
j the ordinary voter which is coming to
the front rapidly not only in Alaska
j but throughout the States, will put a
' damper on this brand of politics and
eliminate the so-called “Machine Boss
| es” for all time. I do not care to go
I into personalities of generalities but
I facts are facts, and the Democratic
party in Alaska, w'ith Donohoe as a
candidate for National Committee
! man has a millstone around its neck,
and the party will suffer in conse
quence, taken in connection w'ith that
facts that both of the above are on
the Guggenheim payroll. It is time for
a thorough and general house clean
ing in the Democratic party in Alaska

and the sooner we get about it the!

In the event I do not get a 50-50

must not look for any support from j
me in the fall election in this section.
As a rule 1 am generally frank and
to the point in my statements.
With best regards, I beg to remain,
Yours truly ,
(Signed) M. J. CONROY”.'
Valdez April 21, 1924.
“Mr. M. J. Conroy,
Anchorage, Alaska.
Dear Sir:
I have your letter of the 19th. Like
yourself 1 am frank and to the point
in my statements. Therefore I shall j
give you a little information which
you either do not possess or choose to i
ignor. [
Neither Mr. Donohoe or Mr. Dimond
had anything whatever to do with the
candidacy of Dr. Council. At a meet
ing of the Valdez Democratic club, at
which meeting neither was present,
Mr. Donohoe being in the states and
Mr. Dimond in Cordova, Dr. Council
was endorsed as a candidate for the
Senate and was notified of that fact
by the club. This was before you had
announced yourself as a candidate.
Probably Mr. Donohoe anti Mr. Di
mond are friends of Dr. Council, and
if so their support of him is in no
sense “knifing” you, but it is a priv
ilege which that “rising tide of inde
pendence of the ordinary voter” en
titles them to claim.
You hold that these gentlemen are
a millstone around the neck of the
Democratic party. Possibly there
are those who hold the same opinion
with regard to yourself, and who shall
say that they are not right.
It may be possible, in fact I judge
from your statement ,that you con
trol the Democratic vote in Anchor
age and vicinity, hence your threat.
May I ask then what improvements
there are in your methods over those
of your “Machine Bosses?” Why this
“Holier than Thou” attitude?
I attended the meeting which en
dorsed Dr. Council, naturally I am
going to vote for him. I presume that i
this is true of all other Democrats j
who attended the meeting. Not hav
ing control of the Democratic vote in
Valdez I am unable to say what sort
of a break you will get here. The elec
tion will tell.
In closing I may say that your
threat carries no terrors. If the Dem
ocrats of the Third division wish to
vote for me I believe they will do so
regardless of commands from you or
anyone else. If they do not approve of
my candidacy they will not vote for
me at the command of anyone. That
independence which the Alaskan voter
has alwrays displayed, will, I am confi
dent, not yield to your dictates or
those of any other political boss, mach
ine or otherwise.
Yours truly,
C .H. WILCOX.”

POLITICALLY
In reply to a letter written by a
Seward Republican in which he was
charged with being a Wickersham
Chamberlin man, the following de
nial has been wired by Emery Valen
tine, preferential candidate for Gov
ernor at the coming primary election:
Juneau, Apr. 23, 1924.
“I am not supporting Cham
berlin, and would do nothing for
him anyway. Wickersham is
taking no part. I was manager
for him years ago, but he has
forgotten past favors and is do
ing nothing for anyone. I am
for Alaska and its people; noth
ing else.”
