NOME, ALASKA, JAN. 27. 1917.
British working men are just as
drsirous aa any other people to en
joy the benefits of peace and they
W nt that peace made permanent. But
they are equally willing to make any
sacrifice and continue the war if that
is the only way a permanent peace
may be obtained.
The way to get a thing is to go af
ter it. No amount of setting back in

anywhere. Nor will any city ever
amount to much unless some portion
of its citizenry goe3 to the front for
it and stays on the fighting line con
tinually. The long fight for the
harbor appropriation seems almost
won. From the engineers who in
vestigated the proposition on the
ground there came a favorable report
which went from official to official
until It received the sanction of the
war department. Then our delegate
put the bill appropriating the sum of
one hundred and five thousand dollars
through the house. The senate only
has to pass on it, and the president
to sign, and the harbor project will be
an assured fact.
Credit for this is due to the chnm
be> of commerce and particularly its
px Bident who has hummered away
for two years on thi3 matter. In spite
o' one adverse report which would
have meant defeat to most men, snd
did in fact spell defeat to nearly all
the friends of the project, he contin
ued his efforts until now his efforts,
backed by the chamber, have been
crowned with almost certain success.
Nome needs thU harbor, also some
trunk highways and other things, and
this harbor success is likely to help
all the others because doubtless many
citizens who are not active working
members of the chamber of commerce
will now 3ee the value of united effort
and put their shoulders to the public
wheel.
The canvassing board at Juneau
want to work in a deliberate manner
which augurs well for an accurate
count. It was announced some time
ago from the territorial capital that
ti e entire vote of the territory would
be canvassed regardless of how long
It was necessary for the board to
wo It for belated returns front out
lying precincts. When thi3 announce
mr-nt was made It was not suspected
that the delegate contest would be so
close. As It has turned out, It will
be necessary to canvass the vote

from every precinct before the result
run be known. Few election races
'nave been closer than the present. The
campaign begun with Wickersham se
cure in his confidence that his vic
tory of two years before would bo
duplicated. Sulzer opened his com
p. ign early and was ably supported
by democrats in most parts of the ter
ritory. Particularly was Sulzer suc
cessful la the Fourth division where,
with democracy in the saddle and still
sore from the contest of two years
previous, a strong fight was made
against Wickersham. At fir3t the
delegate did not Intend to take a
pe> sonul t art in the campaign at all,
but his trusty henchmen who were
in the field sent out calls for help
which could not be Ignored. Wick
ersham proceeded through the First
division which was Sulzer’s own ter
ritory and was successful In reducing
what would have otherwise been an
overwhelming majority for the demo
ciatic nominee. As the returns came
out it appeared that Ketchikan had
given Wickersham a large plurality.
And other const towns showed the ef
fects of ihe delegate’3 belated cam
paigning. ►
The fii st news of the election seem
ed to indicate that Sulzer would be
elected. Partisan papers claimed his
election at first by several hundreds,
even as high as seven hundred. About
a week after election the figures wee
cut to between one and two hundred
to be reduced later and reluctun.ly, as
the outlying precincts came in. t<
barely a score. With still later re
tU’ns in the Third division, Sulzer's
lead was entirely wiped out and
W.ekorsham was shown by an unoffi
eba count to have a plurality of twen
t> or thirtv votes.
Now all that remains to be done is
tha* the canvassing board shall pass
on the retuin3. This board Is dam
ocatic but that is not necessarily any
reason why the members should
count Wickersham out as some few
people seem to expect. There is not
the slightest giound for thinking tliut
they would do such a thing. Strong
partisanship does not mean dishon
esty or even unfairness in Judgment,
So far. the board has shown an in
chnation to withhold Sulzer precincts
reiher than otherwise. In the Fourth
division the unofficial count gives
Sulzer some forty or fifty more votes
than he has yet been credited with
by the board. Quite likely all of the3o
vo'es will be coutned for Sulzer in
t* i- f n.l
A indication of the fairness of the
board and the intention to count all
>cics that were honestly cast, al
though the returns made to the dls
tr’ct clerk and governor were some
what irregular, the Deering precinct
it ay be mentioned. The board has al
te;uj included the vote cast there In
the ot|lcii.l count but there were very
-!-u~-..
good Ucnniciil reasons, if the board
desired io la flnnlky, why the Doer
inj vote shoii'd hove boon thrown out
cm.» iy.
The intention of the board with re
Sard to the far-heraldod Litca vote is
unquestionably to include it in the
official figures. The oath of the elec
tion judges nas been seat for and is
<■'. the w •. The L'tlcn techlnoall
tle* nr* similar to those of Deerlng
end It is most certainly th.. Intention
of the board to take the franchise
away from no man or group of men In
u u emet on any grounds that are
not dishonest or fraudulent. How
ever close the contest may be we may
be sure that the gentlemen compris
ing the board will not act otherwise
tl an honorably and on broad lines of
Jurt’ce rather than the technicalities
of petlfoggery.
Tills being so there is little doubt
thrt Wiekersham will ultimately be
c flared re-electid. It may take so
li ng as three months to complete the
can’'PRS, and In so far as the Issu
cucf of a cer.ificate Is concerned It
" ill not make any difference whether
tutu be a special session of congress,
ns now seems likely, or not.
The Utlcu vote is very Important Inj
that its acceptance or rejection means
much to Messrs. Corrigun and Iteed.
If Utfca be accepted, Mr. Corrigan
will be elected to the legislature. In
asmuch as Mr. Corrigan and Mr. Iteed |
aie both oulside, the one of them who j
is finally decided as having been elect - 1
ed will be near enough to Juneau to I
reach that capital city on a few days j
notice, tl is to be hoped that the I
outcome will be determined before
the legislature meets and this will i
probably be the case.
