WICK WILL
TALK TONIGHT
Engages Eagle Hall To Reply To
Charges Made By the Prospector
Regarding His Work At Capital.
Another meeting has been called
for tonight by the delegate to
defend himself from the charges made
in the dinky Prospector, that he had
tried in vain to secure employment
from the Guggenheims; that he had
opposed home rule for Alaska until he
found it was a good political move;
that he had protected the big Gug
genheim fishing interests by prevent
ing the representatives elected by the
people of Alaska from leglslatng for
the protection of the fish and the
levying of a fair tax on the output
of the fisheries. He will also tell the
people how he forced President Taft
to sign the home rule bill on Wick
ersham's birthday; how he forced
President Wilson to come across with
the Alaska railroad bill to open the
interior of Alaska; how he compelled
the congress of the United States to
"blow in” with a coal land leasing
bill, although this same highly paid
delegate is touring Alaska when this
Important measure is up for consid
eration. How he forced Senator Nel
son, of Minnesota, who will not allow
the delegate in his office, to work so
hard for the Valdez dike bill; that it
was placed on several bills in the
upper house and never did pass the
lower house except when the confer
ence report was accepted on the Army
bill.
The great bunko artist, friend of
the big interests, will go through an
other turn on the stage. Don’t miss
It.
Go It, Wick, you are a bird, and
without doubt the best distorter of
facts known in the north.
The delegate will roast the Pros
pector tonght, so his friends say, and
'“Wulff will get his for quitting the
delegate four years ago.” Go it,
James.
< Tell the people Jim, how you came
to get that corner lot in Fairbanks
from Captain Barnette, the bank
wrecker, and shortly afterward moved
court headquarters from Cbena to
Fairbanks. Tell the ladies what the
building on your lot was used for
while you were judge of the district
court.
James, answer this and make It
jibe with your speech of the other
evening:
The following is the telegram sent
to John Troy by Congressman John
son, of Washington: "Wickersham
wrote the bill In good faith. Where
can I reach him by wire? Answer col
lect. JOHNSON.”
Also Johnson’s letter to Troy at Ju
neau, dated Washington, October 2:
"Thanks for telegram. Leasing bill
was written by Judge Wickersham and
we undertook what we understood was
best for all concerned. Land office
has made adverse report based on
reports from Alaska and governor.
Clamor has arisen for the suspension
of assessment work in the United
States, which is likely to occur.”
(The telegram referred to was one
informing Johnson of the whereabouts
of Wickersham).
(Signed) “EMPIRE."
We wired for the above statement
from the Juneau Empire and the tele
gram is given in full aa received.
Wlckersham, read Johnson's tele
gram to you to us. Now be a good
boy and do that. Monday you said
Johnson drew the bill, did you not?
Don’t forget that.

socialists™
TO WiCKERSHAM
(Continued from page 1.)
ening after his speech. It takes more
than reckless oratory and liquid re
freshments to budge the Socialist
vote. Where was his constructive
program for the future? Has he ful
filled all of Alaska's needs? If ever
Alaska and the country at large need
ed a specific and intelligent program
of future action, it is now. And it
is just here that a great difference
between Wickersham and the Social
ist party lies. Wickersham Is an in
dependent individual, following his
own whims, whereas the Socialist
Party candidates have a carefully
reasoned, scientific program, reaching
into the future, and to which they
are bound.
Wickersham charges that Socialists
are a white chip in the political game.
That they have no chance of winning
and therefore don't count. Is he so
simple as to suppose that no minority
party counts? Has he never assimi
lated the truth that "a vote for prin
ciple is never lost?” If the Socialist
vote doesn’t count, why does he deem
it necessary to devote a considerable
portion of his speech to an attempt
'to win it?
Wickersham admonishes Socialists
to be Americans first and Socialists
afterward, and this of an organiza
tion 71 per cent, of whose members
are American born. If the German
people had been, in majorty, Social
ists flqst and Germans afterwards,
this tragic war would not be raging
today with its untold waste and suf
fering. The judge should know that
we are men before we are Ameri
cans, and that Socialism is -working
for better conditons for men the world
over, regardless or national boundar
ies. Socialism is a bigger thing than
any one nation or race. It is a world
wide movement of the workers for
recognition through political power of
their rights as human beings and pro
ducers of the world’s goods. They
seek through peaceful political means
to control the machinery of necessary
industries, that the means of life may
be produced and distributed for the
benefit of all rather than the powerful
few. The workers of all countries
have common cause in this movement,
which the powers that be are trying
to check by setting nation against na
tion and arousing a false and nar
row patriotism. American working
conditions can improve only when
lEuropean conditions become good
enough to check the flood of immigra
tion which reduces the standard of
living and wages here. Thus it is
Inore than a national problem.
But of Soicalism in its broader as
pects Wickersham has not the least
understanding, otherwise he could not
say, except willfully, that the de
mands of Socialism are accomplished,
and behind the times. The fact is,
Socialism has been the voice in the
wilderness for the last half century,
the guiding star towards which our
political and industrial organization
is slowly tending. To consign Social
ists to outer darkness and consider
himself at the head of the procession,
in the glare and blare of the torches
and trumpets, shows an ignorance of
historical and present fact, in our del
egate, which is pathetic.
,But he will doubtless stand on what
he consders his final virtue—that he
is a fighting man. Alaskans undoubt
edly like a fighting man, but they also
like fair fighting, even though it be
against the Socialists, and when Wick
ersham, with their platform in his
hand, poses as their champion, to
gether with Roosevelt, the seeker of
antidotes for Socialism, and declares
tthat Socialist demands are already ac
compllshed, he is hitting below the
belt. No, Mr. Wickersham, you will
not get the vote of a single Social
ist.
