SOME INSIDE WORKING
many will wonder whether
THE WRITER LEFT SOME
THING UNSAID.
The doings ut the recent Republi
can convention at Seward, was re
ported, but in some unaccountable
manner, after all the reports were
read, they left the mind of most read
ers concluded; that it; to say, there
was something that a layman could
not fully understand This lack of
clearness, however, is absent after
one has read the following love?
letter, taken from the Cordova Times
of May 6. The writer says:
Cordova, May 6, 1916.
Mr. Ed. C. Russell,
Editor Juneau Dispatch,
Juneau, Alaska.
My Dear Ed.—Since you took the
1 opportunity at the late "Love Feast”
held at the Hippodrome in your city,
to tell the people of Juneau and the
First division all the inside workings
of the Republican convention at Sew
ward on April 19, and just why it was
Judge Wickersham was not nomi
nated; and as you have seen tit to
J connect my name with the fiasco in
such a way as to make ii appear that
j the Copper river valley blocked the
game and was responsible for Judge
Wickersham not receiving the nomi
nation, 1 feel, in justice to tlie people
of that valley, where Judge Wicker
sham has many friends, I should ad
dress this open letter to you, giving
tlie other side of the question.
I am sorry that 1 could not have at
tended the “experience meeting at!
tlm Hippodrome, for you must have
hud a real nice time, judging from file
i "loud and prolonged applause” (?) so
I frequently accorded, but I could not
In fact, did not know it was coming
off, so will have to content myself
by congratulating you on the splendid
success of the meeting and the clear
and explicit explanation as to why
Judge Wickersham did not receive the
nomination, as recorded in the paper
I of which you are editor.
The paragraph which refers to the
Copper river valley and myself, reads
as follows:
“Mr. Russell said that when the
delegates entered tlit? Seward con
vention practically all of the delegates
I were not in favor of Wickersham. The
j Nome, or Second division, delegation,
was opposed to Wickersham. Thomas
I Lloyd, of Fairbanks, with forty-five
votes, was opposed to Wickersham,
and half of the delegation from the
[ third division were opposed to him. I
j But. in the interest of harmony all of |
j these, save George Hazelet, of the !
! Copper river valley, were willing to ,
swing their votes to Wickersham.”
Now Ed, if that is true, why was he j
not nominated? The convention con
sisted of 220 delegates. If 60 dele
gates from the Second division, 45
from the Fourth, and 30 from the
Third were all willing to nominate
; Wickersham in the interests of har
mony, to say nothing about 60 from
the First, which, according to all re
ports sent out from Juneau, were
elected with the express and only ob
ject to bring this about and make Mr.
Shackleford delegate to the national
convention, how, in heaven s name
was it that he did not receive the
nomination? You give the Copper
rvier valley and myself too much
credit, my dear boy. We had nothing
whatever to say about it.
I can tell you, however, in no un
certain language, why it was not done.
It was not done because Judge Wick
ersham would not stand to have his
hands end feet tied and a gag put
in hh mouth. That was the reason
and the only reason, and you know it,
and trying to shove the blame onto
Hazelet and the Copper river valley
will not do.
Did you not walk the streets of
Seward, with the Resurrection river i
winds blowing through your long I
locks, hour after hour, waiting to re
receive cables from Wickersham? Did
you get them? No.
Did you not come to me on Main
street in front of the Overland hotel,
about. 8 p. m., of the night of the con
vention, during one of the many re
cesses taken for no other purpose
than to hear from Wickersham, and
ask me what the Third would do if
you could rustle 70 votes for Wicker
sham, and did I not say I could not
answer for all of the Third division,
but I believe we could throw enough
votes to nominate him, provided you
could find 70. Did you not tell me
a hall hour later that you could not
find them? Was not Harry Thlsted
present during these talks? Did you
not got up in the convention when
nominations for delegate were called
for, and with tears in your voice, say
that you had hoped to place the name
of Judge Wickersham before the con
vention, but had been waiting to re
ceive answers to certain telegrams,
which answers had not been received,
and therefore you would not propose
his name to the convention? Did
you tell us the nature of the telegrams
that went to Wickersham, or what sort j
of an answer you expected? No, you
did not.
But it was well understood t>y the
delegates present, that in order for
the judge to receive the nomination
from the powers that controlled the
convention, he must agree to have
nothing to say relative to federal ap
pointments, This was the reason, and
the only reason, he did not receive
that nomination, and no one knows
it better than inyself.
Now, Ed, you know, and every
thoughtful man in the territory knows,
who lias watched the trend of events'
that tile fight lias been waged in
Alaska between what is known as the
Wickersham faction and the Shackle
ford faction, over political matters, is
the greatest menace the territory has
had.
It was the direct cause of tying up
rlie resources of the country. It
caused the withdrawal of the coal and
oil lands from entry. It was respon
sible for the formation of forest re
son es. The withdrawal of the coal
and oil stopped railway building and
new enterprises of all kinds, and
' nought about general stagnation in
Uie territory. It was the primary
cause of the Ballinger-Pinchot contro
versy, which almost wrecked the Taft
administration. Taken in its entirety,
il lias injured the territory to an ex
tent that cannot be repaired in the
next ten years.
Judge Wickersham and I discussed
every phase of this question when he
dined with me at my home last year,
and he practically agreed with all I
said. He expressed a very strong de
sire to end this fight, and for all fac
tions to work together for the good
of the territory. He even went so
far as to say lie would step down and
out if this would bring peace.
Men of all classes and in every
section of the territory have begun
to feel that this fight should be stop
ped. Almost a year ago a very promi
nent gentlemen, whose name I am not
at liberty to use, but who has stood
j high in the councils of tlie Republican
! party and been honored with high of
j dee, suggested to a member of us
| I hat if some old line Republican who
I bad not been identified with the
j Shackleford faction (for there are
such), could be chosen national com
| mitteeman, matters would straighten
: out. Ho said that in his opinion, Mr.
E. E. Ritchie, of Valdez, was such a
man. To many of us In the Third di
vision, this looked like a solution of
the problem. However, the opposi
tion refused to take it upon itself to
elect someone in place of Murrane to
represent the party in Alaska? And
yet, Ed, you stood there and saw the
thing done, and cast your vote for it.
It is just such work as this that de
stroys political parties and brings
them into disrepute, i have no criti
cism whatever to offer of the major
ity of the convention placing whomso
ever it pleases before the voters as
candidates, electing whom it pleases
national committeeman, and delegates
to national conventions, so that it is
done fairly, and I, as a party man, will
stand by those candidates one and all.
But when a few so-called bosses seek
to destroy what little party is left,
and keep up a long drawn out faction
al fight to the detriment of the entire
territory, for the sole reason of being
able to control the federal appoint
ments, it is time for the mass of vot
ers belonging to that party to call a
halt; and sooner or later it will be
done.
'File Third division asked for noth
ing except the right to name its own
representatives in the councils of the
party—a right that every organization
whether church, fraternal or political,
has always had. And yet it was de
nied that privilege because, as Mr.
Shackleford said, he proposed to re
ward the men that stood by him, re
gardless of consequences. These men
numbered five all told, Finnegan of
Seward, Harvey Sullivan and A1
White of Valdez, Mike Sullivan and
Thompson of Katalla. They held 8
