grace of the president of the United
States and an attorney-general, has

from Alaska of his rightful seat in
the congress for*”nearty two years.
In the 1916 delegate election in
asha the result was very close as
•'-etween the two leidkisr candidates
—Wickorslmm, the republican, 'and
Sulzer, the democrat. Tho territori
al canvassing board, composed of
■’ re, democrats, by majority vote
decided that .the returns plainly In
dicated the election of Wickersham
nnd was about to Issue a certificate
of election to him, when Its hands
were stayed by the Intervention of
the court presided over by Jennings,
rsulting In the Issuance of a writ "J
mandamaus compelling the canvass
ing 'board to lesue a certificate of
election to Sulzer. In order to over
come the face ot^the returns, tfhlch
'favored Wickersham^ tho Judge
threw out certain Wickersham vot
mg precincts did not use the officials
Australian ballots. Wickersham, a
party at issue in effect, If not in
fact, was not represented either in
person or by counsel at this extra
ordinary proceeding, which gave the
seot to th„ usurper. Sulzer.
Of course, a contest was instltut
ed by Wickersham, who felt that he
had 'been deprived in a mo3t outra
peons of h's M'-nig
a long, wholly urtftces3ary delay,
elections committee No. 1, ' of the
house, after a thorough investigation
found in favor of Wickersham, by a
unanimous vote. A majority of the
elections committee are democrats.
As another delegate election, with
Wickersham and Sulzer again a*
candidates, was pending In Alaska,
, the' elections committee withheld Its
! ivorrt. for reasons that are perfectly
! plain. Tho democratic members of
; the committee did not wish to make
public a report that would have un
doubtedly Influenced the pending
election in favor of Wickersham, the
republican, and In thus acting, they
placed themselves on a. par with the
little democratic ring in Alaska,
\ K-Moh is notorious for double-dealing
and underhanded methods, if such'
serves its purpose better than open
and above board tactics. When this1
ccn..nittee made a finding in favor!

the Copper river district, -befoe a

Martin J. Lund, a Seattle attorney,
represented TJosevig, and asked for
a change of venue ou the grounds
that Jennings was biased in favor of

instrumental in gaining him an ap

both Lund and TJosevig to pay a

his judicial wrath. An appeal was
taken whereupon the circuit court

For this Poet Laura-ate., t
Yes Chaa. ^ I’vo had misfortunes.
But t never charged the cause
To the Mothers of Alaska,
Nor to Prohibition laws.
I’ve voiced my views in politics',
I’ve championed the right,

As T have seen the light.
I admit I’un Wick’s man Friday '•w
And Saturday too you know,
While he battles for Alaska,
To thwart vicious tricks and iaw.
My honor-medals I admit
I do not display with pride,
Neither have I wrought dishonor
TJiat my conscience bids me hide.
Alaska’s course is UP and onward
And our town is in the race;
Stop your wild and wilful knooking;
Boost and take a leading place.
