NEW POLITICAL SHUFFLE
The recent announcement of the Alaska delegate
to Congress that he will not be a candidate again for
the office and the shying into the ring of the hats of
former Delegate James Wickersham and Attorney John
Rustgard promises to develop one of the most exciting
political campaigns since the early days when issues
and not political sophistries were the order of the day.
Gauged by a retrospective review, there looms little
in the form of issues at the present time, unless Judge
Wickersham’s Controller bill may be called an issue.
Having been defeated, it is questionable if good politics
would prompt its resurrection in its present form. So it
will be necessary for Wickersham to spring something
entirely new if he would catch the imagination of the
voters.
Attorney General Rustgard has not at any time in
troduced an issue unless it is his adherence to a demand
for a change in the laws governing administration of
estates, and some markedly radical labor measures, all
of which were turned down by the Legislature.
But the most interesting aspect of the present sit- j
uation is presented in the fact that the pendulum swings |
back to post-renaissance days before Alaska emerged
from a region of stampede gold mining camps into one
of modern settlements and the dawn of industrial ere.
During the interim since Judge Wickersham was del
egate and the present time, little in the form of con
structive legislation has been accomplished for the Ter
ritory. The most outstanding feature was the present
delegate’s undiplomatic battle with respect to the fish
eries.
Never was the time more ripe for a divorce from
old-time politics and espousal of a new political bride.1
AlaskaJias progressed in every line but in a political
sen^e. i he man who can hurl a live issue into the next
campaign, based upon present-day needs rather than i
archaic folderoll such has characterized political high
spy for the past ten years, bids fair to get into the “R”
column of the box score.
Judge Wickersham is a seasoned campaigner and
acknowledged political genius with the present delegate
organization in his vest pocket.
foldAtt0mey Genelal RustSard is also of the same
, However, Alaska has many men capable to pa
them and perfectly able of wearing the Congressio
al delegate toga gracefully. The question is: Will' th<
cease to play the role of blushing violet and get in
the fight with sleeves rolled up. g
