SENATOR SULZER
MAKES STRONG
IMPRESSION
Practically every male in Nome
who wns not Otherwise engaged was
in attendance at the A. R hall last
evening to hear the democratic can
didate for delegate to congress, Sena
tor Chas. Sulzer, deliver his initial
declaration of principles and inten
tions in the Second division.
. A Isa there was a large gathering
of the fair sex who followed the pro
ceedings with close attention.
The big hall was tilled to overflow
ing shortly after the designated hour
and, for nearly two hours, the crowd
listened with close attention to the
remarks of the gentleman who aspires
to the highest olflce within- the gift
of the people of Alaska.
Sulzer made an excellent impression.
Although not a trained speaker, he
possesses a quality of expression and
a striking earnestness of manner
which more than make up for any
absence of highly developed forensic
abilities. His principal appeal to the
voters was based on the belief that a
change in the methods of territorial
representation at Washington is badly
needed and he presented his argu
ment at considerable length and with
telling effect.
The meeting was opened by a short
address by George R Grigsby, demo
cratic candidate for the office of at
torney general after the Nome brass
band had rendered a number of stir
ring selections which drew loud ap
plause from the assemblage-. Mr.
Grigsby stated that he was there to
introduce the next delgate to congress
and also to offer a few remarks in his
own behalf as a candidate for the
ollice of attorney general. Mr. Grigs
by admitted at the start that he does
not know a great deal about the ter
ritory, but he intended to learn by a
stumping tour and he expects to
know as much about it when he re
turns as William A. Gilmore—pos
slldy more. He then proceeded to pay
his respects to imported officialdom,
declaring that it is Alaskans for Al
aska with him, first, last and all the
time. He also declared that he was
for Mr. Sulzer and was proud to be
a democrat and stand upon a demo
cratic platform with him. He also
declared that the people of Alaska
could boast of little or nothing in the
shape of home rule despite legisla
tures or anything else. The territory
is ruled from tho court houses, In
said , and the official incumbents
thereof were the only real and actual
rulers of the people and the affairs
of the territory. At the conclusion
of Candidate Grigsby's remarks the
band played Down in Dixie and Mr.
Sulzer was then introduced. He
opened his remarks by stating that he
was highly gratified to stand before
a Nome audience and considered that
nothing more representative of Al
aska could be found than the people
of Nome. He was glad to be in i un?
and to meet the people. He de hired
that he was an Alaskan and loved and
was proud of the county which had
been his home for fourteen years.
For Nome and the Second division
he prophesied a brilliant future. Its
glories are not all in the past and
the future loomed broad anti grand
when the proper methods and eondt
tions enabled increased development.
The country was languishing, not for
lack of i,source but absence of fa
cilities. Itoads were needed, a harbor
and bettetr mail and telegraph fa
cilities. He was able to appreciate
the needs for he had himself endur
ed the*trials which afflicted the people
of this section. The reindeer i.nltvtry
in his view was one of the grt-a'-st
possibilities and be foresaw th ; time
when the northerly sections of Alas
ka would be the greatest meat pro
ducing district of the United States,
if not the world.
He then took up the personal side
of his etndidney ard speedil ■ won the
sympathies of his hearers by telling
of his own experience since ho
arrived in the country, a mere boy,
and had fought and won his way to
independence, sharing in the toils and
hardships Incident to the pioneer life
of the early days. Alaska was his
home land by right of sharing in Its
development and upbuilding and he
felt that he could do much for Its
future if allowed to represent it in
the halls of congress because that
his every interest was Identified with
the soil. Most politicians were long
on promises. He promised only that
he would do his utmost, to serve the
country—not one section or division
hut the whole country. This he con
tended had not been done by the
present delegate. Mr. Wickershant
had done little or nothing for the
country, in his opinion, he had been
long on promises and short on works
Mr. Wlckersham had not made good
with the people although he had
monopolized the delegatcship for eigtit
long years.
He wanted only two years for him
self and if he could not do more Mian
Mr. Wickersh'itn within 'hat period he
wanted the petp.e to throw him out.
He declared that th ■ delegate claimed
credit for everything tu-t had been
granted to the count y by congress
whereas he had himself been respon
sible for little. He (.(aimed that the
major portion of the dis: I titties un
der which the country is laboring
were due largely to the failure of
i he delegate to fulfill his obligations
lo the people.
The balance of his remarks were
largely devoted to showing wherein
Mr. Wiekersham was both neglectful
an,d inconsistent in his statements
relative to statehood and the conduct
>f the affairs of the territory. Mr.
Sulzer .also strongly denounced the
■onservatlve policy, declaring that the
people who bore the hardships of
lioneerlng and hared the primeval
and for the coming generation should
he the ones to benefit by what their
oils and labors developed.
In conclusion he asked that the peo
ple send him to Washington where
lie believed that he could he of real
benefit to the territory and bring it
idded benefit and prosperity.
Although speaking at some length,
Mr. Sulzer held his audience well In
land and made numerous friends. At
he conclusion of the address numbers
.vent upon the platform and earnest! \ '
congratulated him on his effort and
■ommandatory remarks were much in
■vidence as the large gathering flledf
out.
