WICKERSHAM FATHERS MOVE
Wickersham Says He Is Prepared to
Introduce a Bill in Congress Per
mitting the First Division to Be
come a Separate Territory.
A complete form of territorial gov
ernment for the first judicial division
of Alaska to be known as the Terri
tory of Seward.
Delegate Wickersham ia preparing
to Introduce aueh a bill in congress
provided the people of the first Judi-'
cial division will enforce it as a non*
partisan measure. Also the move*
ment must not only have, ths indorse
ment of the press of southeast Alaska
but the municipal government heaflsp
la the opinion of Delegate' Wicker
sham expressed in Jundafu yesterday,
says the Juneau Dispatch-. • ' ’ - ’
Delegate Wickersham sent a wire
to Juneau during his campaign in
dorsing this move. He is now will
ing to make good provided he can
have the support of both democrats
and republicans in this division. Del
egate Wickersham does not want the
issue to be made a political one, and
result in defeat for that reason.
Two propositions have been under
discussion. One was the creating of
two delegate divisions in Alaska and
the election of two delegates to Con
gress. The other is the cutting off
ttye first division from the Territory
of Alaska, renaming it, and giving it
separate territorial form of govern
ment. The latter is being generally
indorsed as a non-partisan movement
in which all citizens can join.
The movement starts first with an
invitation t'» the press of southeast
ern Alaska to discuss it with a view
of ascertaining sentiment for it in
different localities. The second will
be the calling of a convention at Ju
neau in January to be attended by
the mayor of every municipality in
the first division to draft the petition
to Congress. The third move will be
the ratification of the petition by the
next territorial legislature.
Discussing the matter with the Dis
patch yesterday Delegate Wickersham
said he heartily favored such a move,
provided it was backed by the people,
of the first division. "I am not sup
porting it to advance any political as
pirations of my own,” said Delegate
Wickersham. “If I am defeated for
delegate when the official count is fin
ished I would not be a candidate for
delegate again. I promised to sup
port Buch a measure if it was the:
wish of the people of the first division
and I will do so.
Wherever the Dispatch has heart’
the matter discussed it has created a
favorable impression. The movement,
will take both time and effort and
clubs should be formed all over the
first division to push the matter. In
the meantime the newspapers ..©t. the
first division are asked to discuss xt
editorially..^ r n > ,„t

In their place would be elected new
officials. The federal courts and the
other federal officials would remain
in new territory.
