A WORD TO TIIE PUBLIC
We hear ugly rumors concerning
the Alaska Railroad. They are fly
ing around hither and thither. Un
less we miss our guess some one is
going to get hurt—sooner or later.
The people of Seward hold no
brief for any one in the matter. For
mer Governor Sulzer, in the speech

reservations to
Howard Long

he made to our Chamber of Com
merce, expressed our views when he
said: “The Alaska Railroad belongs
to the people. They built it. They
paid for it—and, by the eternal, they
want it maintained, and extended to
the Arctic, and to the White and Chi
sana valleys, to open up the inte
rior of Alaska, and give her people
quick and cheap transportation.”
Any attempt now by any one to
scrap the Alaska Railroad, or stop
its extensions, as so eloquently out
lined by Mr .Sulzer, will be as futile
as trying to dam Niagara.
The Alaska Railroad is now7 a bus
iness proposition—not a haven for
disgruntled and discredited third-rate
politicians. If run as a railroad
should be run, and extended to get
traffic, it will soon be self-support-*
ing, if not on a profit basis. It is
too late now7 to turn back the hands
of the railroad clock in Alaska. No
railroad undertaker can do that now7.
A word to the public, in this connec
tion, should be suffiicent.
To the plotters we say stop! If you
do not, mark wrell what we say: The
day is not far distant when you will
realize that Fools, rush in where An
geles fear to trod.
THE BATTLE OF NEW YORK
New York state, with its forty-five
impressive electorial votes, or one
sixth enough to win a majority in
the electoral college, is described, and
probably rightly, as one of the im
portant political battlegrounds of the
1924 presidential campaign. It is re
garded as an almost essential to the
successful candidate’s bag of kill in
the big game hunt.
The republicans, of course, expect
that President Coolidge will carry
th estate by a sizeable plurality. The
people of the state ordinarily do not
run to wild isms. The inspiring char
acter of the president’s record, and

SEWARD CHAS. FISHER, Prop. ALASKA
his appeal to the great mass of the
people, are considerations which are
expected to assure the state to the
republican column. Bqt the demo
crats think they have in Davis, who
for some time has been identified in
the conservative business and finan
cial life of the metropolis, a candi
date who possesses something of the
same appeal as Coolidge. With such
a nominee as McAdoo they would
concede New York to be hopeless;
with Davis they hope they have a
fighting chance.
But they feel that the fighting
chance is rather slim unless they
can get behind their ticket the sup
port of At Smith and the democrats
generally. That is why they are try
ing so manfully to get Governor
Smith to run for re-election—in the
hope that he will be able to help car
ry Davis over. Hearst threatens to
kick a hole in their plans by getting
Mayor Hylan, of New York, to run
for governor, but they are not wholly
down-hearted. Governor Smith has
volunteered to take up the battle for
the democratic ticket, but he does
not want to run for governor again.
Unless he runs, the democratic poli
ticians fear, there will not be much
chance to carry the state—and those
forty-five electoral votes loom large
to the party leaders who are fast los
ing hope of carrying any section of
the West.
The question is whether the .demo
crats are not throwing away much
useful energy. If New York favors a
conservative it will not be inveigled
into voting for Davis—with Bryan as
a tail to the kite. To New York
Bryan the radical, the untried, proba
bly will have something of the un
palatable flavor of LaFollette and
Wheeler. Besides, the Tammany
leaders may be counting too heavily
on A1 Smith’s popularity for it may
be remembered that although Smith
was elected governor by a large ma
jority in 1920 President Harding
swept the state by more than 1,000,
000 votes. The probability is that
something of the same situation
would develop this year in the Tam
many effort to get the tail to wag
the dog.
