WICK STARTED
IDE POLITICIANS
•Hi* Announcement of Another Switch
Caused His Followers Here Some
Disappointment.
The announcement made in Fair
banks that Delegate Wickersham
Would try to join the Republican
party in Alaska has caused much talk
among local politicians. The dele
gate's own followers, many of whom
are Democrats and Socialists and
men without any party affiliations,
but with a desire to capture any pri
mary in the territory that their hero
wants taken, announce that the dele
gate has made a mistake in coming
out as a Republican. They point out
the fact that the regular Republican
organization has never yet support
ed him and that the chances are that
it never will. His endeavor to run
as a Republican would likely cost him
the support of the independents, who
are always opposed to any political
organization.
It is believed that should Wicker
sham receive the Republican nomina
tion he v|mld get it only by a deal
with Shackleford, whom he has
fought for years, but who controls
a small faction of the regular Repub
lican organization and is fighting to
continue that control, while other Re
publicans are striving to purge the
organization of Shackleford and oth
ers who have ruled for profit only and
have signally failed to build up an or
ganization in which the people have
confidence.
That Wickersham should turn down
the Progressive Democrats came as
a great surprise to the members of
that organization and they show their
disappointment keenly.
Wick’s Own Statement.
In a statement before the Ways and
Means committee of the House of
Representatives last January, Dele
gate Wickersham said:
‘‘Now, Mr. Chairman, in his last
message to congress in respect to
Alaska, the president made us a
promise in Alaska and our people
are depending upon it. At this last
election in Alaska we all supported
Mr. Wilson. I ran on what was known
as the Progressive Democratic ticket
up there, and I made more speeches
throughout the country than any
member of congress, I dare say, and
I made them willingly, earnestly and
above board, we were greatly pleased
at Mr. Wilson’s Alaska policy and
we supported him earnestly. I got
about 6,000 votes. Another gentle
man ran on what was known as the
stand-pat Democratic ticket; he got
all the rest of them, both of us stand
ing on the same platform, and doing
everything we could In support of Mr.
Wilson and his announced Alaskan
policy.”

Signs of Spring.
Early spring weather has variant
effects upon human animals, but the
most bizarre afflatus noticed by the
Prospector so far was the spectacle
this afternoon of a couple of mule
skinners trying to do carpenter work
adjacent to the Prospector office.
Sweet said Gleason was a hydro-me
chanic, and bystanders said they
didn’t know what he meant unless it
was an intimation that the party men
tioned runs mostly to cultivation of
"water ways.
