This is what ♦‘HarroenV Biography” of Nome, says
of HON.! GEO.? E. SCHOFIELD* Candidate on
the Republican‘ticket for ATTORNEY GENERAL

GEOROE D. SCHOFIELD la a lawyer of Nome, a man of forensic
ability, wnd one of the best presiding officers ever selected to conduct

1864, and received his education in the Northwest University and in

As an Individual I am in no man
ner connected with any transporta
tion company, or with the Guggen
helniR or with the Fishing Corpora
tions other than my Arm defended a
recent case of the Government against
ithe Alaska Packers Association at the
present term of the District Court in
the Third Division for which we re
ceived a $600 fee. I have not been
employed by the Guggenhein. inter
I ests since 1908. Our Arm at this time
[are attorneys for the plaint.A in n
i personal injury case in which the Cop
per River & Northwestern Company is
! defendant, the amount sued for being
! $10,000.00.
Having put the statement of my po
; sition and that of the Democratic par
ity clearly before you let us now con
sider Judge Wickersham's connection
jwith these “malefactors of great
! wealth." On June 20, 1916, Judge
I Wickersham wrote Bart L. Thane, ol
| the Gastineau Mining Co., the follow
ing letter:
“House of Representatives, U. S. A.
“Washington, June 20, 1916.
"Bart L. Thane, Esq.,
“Thane, Alaska.
“My Dear Mr. Thane: This letter
is written to you in entire frankness
and confidence. Your reply will be
held strictly confidential also. I have
made every effort in my power to se
cure a proper organization of the Re
publican party in Alaska so that we
might not only elect the Delegate but
the Republican members of the legis
lature an well.” It seems to me the
situation is such as to urge all mem
bers of the party to lay aside personal
grief and join hands that Alaska may
stand square with the Administration
of Hughes and Fairbanks after the 4th
| of next March.
I shall support the Republican Na
tional ticket as I have always done,
except in the single instance of four
years ago. When Mr. Roosevelt was
candidate, I supported him. I send
you herewith a copy of the letters and
telegrams which passed between me
and those in charge of the Seward Re
publican Convention insofar us the
nomination for Delegate is concerned.
From this correspondence you will
discover that if 1 had agreed to sur
render my freedom as the represen
tative of the people of Alaska in the
matter of patronage, I would have
been nominated there. I did not do
that and in my refusal was and now
am fully supported by the Congres
sional Republican Committee, to
whom all the correspondence aud the
facts were submitted.
"The question which confronts me
now is: What will you and my other
good friends Of Juneau do in the mat
ter of assisting me to secure proper
organization of the Republican party
through the Divisional Convention?
Will you support me as a candidate
for Delegate with earnestness,—or at
all?* Would my nomination in the
Divisional Convention in the First Di
vision be agreeable to you and would
it give strength of the organization
and assist in electing Republican
members to the Legislature? If I can
feel assured that I can have a fair
support around Juneau I feel sure of
re-election. Will you write me frank
ly and tell me what the situation is
and what I can depend upon in the
First Division. Your reply will be
hold strictly confidential.
very truly yours,
“JAMES WICKEKSH \M.”
Mr. Wickershani on the same day
wrote au identical letter to P. F. Brad
iey who controls the great Treadwell
corporations. You will note from
Judge Wlckersham’s letter to Mr.
Thane his longing to co-operate with
Mr. Thane. Mr. Thane is manager of
the Gastineau Mine and Mr. D. C.
Jackling is the president and the
controlling factor of the Gcstineau
Mining Co. Mr. Jackling is also a
large stockholder and reputed to
have the controlling interest in the
Pacific Alaska Navigation Co. which
company operates what is known as
“The Admiral Line” of boats. So
much for one transportation com
pany.
Let us now see about the other
transportation Company. At the re
cent Republican Divisional Conven
tion of the Third Division, held at
Valdez, on the-day of-,
1916, Mr. George C. Ilazelett, who is
generally recognized as the Guggen
heim political representative of the
Third Division secured in that con
ventlon the nomination of Mr. Wick
ersham for Delegate to Congress as
a candidate of the Republican party
of the Third Judicial Division. .The ag
gregation of wealth commonly known
as the Guggenhelms own the Kennt
cott mine, the Latoucbe Island mine,
the Copper River £ Northwestern
Railway Co., and the Alaska Steam
ship Company. Does it seem possible
that Mr. Hazelet as the political rep
resentative In the Third Division of
these Immense Interests would secure
the nomination of a man who was sin
cerely opposing them? Do^s It not
appear more reasonable that the al
leged antagonism of Judge Wicker
sham’s to those interest is merely a
bluff for the purpose of getting the
vote of the unthinking people. My
Information is that Mr. Hazelet has
been ever since the Convention which
nominated Mr. Wlckersham and now
Is sincerely and earnestly working for
the election of Mr. Wlckersham
Mr. Wlckersham devoted a great
portion of his recent speech at Valdez
to stating what he had done In the
way of securing legislation while in
Congress and named a number of
laws he had passed, but he failed to
mention one very important law
which, he had passed on July 18. 1914,
which relieved the Copper River £
Northwestern Railway with other rail
way companies In Alaska from paying
the license tax theretofore imposed of
$100.00 per annum per mile. I fail
to find where Mr. Wickershajn ever
used his great talents to relieve the
restaurant keeper, hotel keeper, cigar
store, boarding houses, etc., from this
federal license tax, but he seems to
have been moved by a great sympa
thy for the poor downtrodden Gug
genheims struggling along with their
Copper Kiver A Northwestern Rail
way Co., hence he secured the pas
sage of the bill which relieved them
from paying $100.00 per annum per
mile tax on their railway.
