WICKERSHAMLETTER
TO SECRETARY LANE
(Continued from yesterday)
"Washington, D. C., Aug. 17, 1016.
T. J. Donohoe, Valdez, Alaska.
Representative Flood and Sulzer in
troduced bills to create an Alaskan
Railway Commission and Senator Sim
mons a resolution to ascertain costs of
transportation equipment (from Pana
ma in Sixty-second Congress. Houso
Rill 10418 as originally introduced by
\Vick«rsfcai a providing for legislative
assembly did not contain pro1, -ion for
first Alaskan Railroad Commission,
provision was inserted by Senate Ter
ritorial Committee. Senate Bill 48
was introduced by Senator Chamber
lain first session Sixty-third Congress,
April 7, 1913, who made speech oc
cupying forty-two pages of Congression
al Record. Wickersham later Introduc
ed bill in House. Senate 'bHl was sub
stituted for House bill and passed
House as amended, February 18, 1914
approved by President Wilson March
12. 1914. Railway project and bill was
administration measure, had active
continued support of President Wil
son and Secretary Lane.
(Signed- Jones, Acting Secretary.
And right there, Mr. Secretary, by
: that untruthful telegram, you made the
! Government Railroad the backbone of
; local Defocratlc partisan politics in
Alaska, and made your Alaska Engi
neering Commission and Its numerous
I officials to uderstaiul that they should
orgganize1 the Government Railroad
; employees “for political purposes."
This organization for “political purpos
es” was Continued from the 1916 elec
; tion to the last, 1918, election, in
j which your letter of August 22, 1918,
addressed to my oppnent and endorsing
him politically, Was published through
' out the Territory as a partisan cam
paign document; you will find it print
ed prominently on page 8 of the Ju
j ne-au Daily Empire of October 2,
191S. with big head lines as follows:
j LANE PAYS COMPLIMENT
TO DELEGATE
The Secretary of the Interior,
Washington, August 22, 1918
: My dear Mr. Sulzer:
I can add nothing to what I have al
ready said to you—that you have tak
en the heartiest interest in all affairs
j touching Alaska's welfare, notwitli
I standing the embarrassments of your
I contest, and there is no one
I here. who doubts your dev
f votion to the Territory. These
are bad times for Alaska, and for all
our undeveloped sections, because our
money is going into war and our men
are going to war. The mind of the na
tion is not turned westward but east
ward and I feel that you have done
all that could be done in Alaska’s in
terests while you have been here.
Cordially-yours,
Franklin K. Lane.
Hon. Charles A. Sulzer,
House of Representatives.
(Alaska Daily Empire, Juneau, Wed.,
Oct. 2, 191S.)
The Alaska Engineering Commis
sion organization worked earnestly
“for political purposes” in iboth cam
paigns, one of you r Commissioners,
whom you have since imade Governor
of Alaska,.even voting bis own wife in
violation of the Congressional election
law, while other officials of the Com
mission did the same. The Govern
ment Railroad organization under the
I authorization of your telegram and
| letters “for political purposes,” car
I ried on the most corrupt election in
j 1916 that Alaska lias ever known since
• (lie Alaska Syndicate voted 800 men out
of its construction gang in 1908 in vio
lation of the same Congressional Act.
At the same time you led the Alaska
Engineering forces into local partisan
politics in Alaska in 1916. the Alaska
Syndicate corporation and the White
Pass Company and the' Northern
1 Commercial Company were also active
in their first large political campaign
contributions, an support of the same
candidates and question which you sup
ported. If you care to know how close
Iv you were allied with the corrupting
influences of the Alaska Syndicate you
will find enough evidence at pages 202,
210 and 21S-21 of the printed Record
! before Elections Committee No. 1 of
j the House of Representatives in the
i contested election case of Wiokersham
; v. Sulzer, to set you on the right track
for more.. And. too, every official and
; teacher in the Bureau of Education en
j gaged in Alaska school work, from Clax
. to to Hibbs, was lined up under your
leadership in the same pernicious
political activities. You will find Clax
I ton ’s letter And Hibbs’ statement ful
; ly quoted in Sulzer’s speech in the Con
| gressional Record of January 3rd, and
Hibbs' effforts fully described in his
I testimony in the Alaska Contest record
sent you herewith, at pages 324-339.
Nor did your efforts to control the
i poll in Alaska cease with election day,
for Governor Riggs, and his attorney
general, spent weeks in Washington,
quite recently, visiting the faithful ang
; organizing a fight against the unai
ous report of the Election Commit
1 tee No. 1 to seat mo as Delegato from
Alaska. Let us hope this was done on
ly at the expense of the Government
Funds under your charge. Why, Sec
retary Lane, should such extravagant
efforts be uut forth by the Secretary
of the Interior and the Alaska Engi
neering Commission to defeat a mere
Delegate from Alaska, who was declar
ed elected by the Democratic Canvass
ing Board an Alaska, aud by the unani
mous report of a Democratic Commit
tee on Elcctioins, in tile House of Rep
resentatives, after a full and fair hear
ing, You know, and you know that I
know, though the great majority of the
House of Representatives did not, that
the moving forco 'behind that action was
the powerful transportation interest
which now owns and controls Alaska
copper and transportation, which;
fought the passage of the Alaska Rail
road Ibilt, and which is just now engag
ed with your approval in taking over j
Alaska coal and controlling Alaskan!
railroads.
