TO THE VOTERS OF ALASKA
1 feel it my duty as Democratic
National Committeeman for Alaska to
reply to u few of the untruthful and
inconsistent statements made by
Judge Wickersham in his speech at
Valdez on the evening of the 14th
day of October, 1916.
Judge Wickersham claimed in Se
attle, Ketchikan, Juneau and other
places that he had secured the legis
lation which resulted in the govern
ment constructed railroad in Alaska.
Knowing this to be an untruthful
statement l deemed it my duty to
ascertain the facts regarding the Na
tional legislation which authorized the
construction of a government owned
railroad in Alaska. 1 therefore on
August 15th, 1916, wired Secretary
Lane to send me a history of the Al
aska Railroad legislation in Congress.
On August 19th, 1916, in response to
this wire I received the following:
Washington, 1). C.,
August 19th, 1916.
T. J. Donohoe,
Valdez, Alaska
Represntatives Flood and William
Sulzer introduced bills to create Al
aska Railway Commission and Senator
Simmons a resolution to ascertain
cost of transporting equipment from
Panama in Sixty Second Congress.
House bill ten four eighteen as or
ginally introduced by Wickersham
providing for legislative assembly did
not contain provision for first Alaska
Railroad Commission. Provision was
inserted by Senatorial Committee.
Senate Dill forty-eight was introduc
ed by Senator Chamberlain first ses
sion sixty third Congress April
seventh, nineteen hundred thirteen
who made speech occupying forty one
pages Congressional Record. Wicker

ate Bill (Chamberlain Bill) was sub

ed February, nineteen hundred four

March twelfth, nineteen hundred four
teen. Railway project and bill had
active and continued support of I resj
dent Wilson and Secretary Lane.

Wickersham claims that this reply
was compiled by' some department
clerk and not authorized by Secretary
Lane. You will note that my tele
gram was directed to Secretary Lane.
At the time this telegram reached
Washington Secretary Lane was un

I member and Mr. Jones for the time
■ being was Acting Secretary of the In
terior.
After Mr. Wickersham made bis
' speech at Juneau in which he also
claims thr.t he had secured the rail
road legislation and that Senator
Chamberlain had introduced the bill in
the Senate, that Wickersham had pre
sented to him, John W. Troy, of Ju
neau, wired Senator Chamberlain *el
ative to the matter and received the
following reply:
“Portland, Oregon,
September 29, 1910.
i John W. Troy,
Juneau, Alaska.
Alaska Railroad Bill my bill. P>.u»8
od Senate first. It is the law under
which the railroad in Alaska is be
ing constructed. It was not introduced
by m^ at the request of Wickershai.i
nor written by iiin, and but fot Ike
active support of President Wilson
and the administration it would not
have passed at all.
(signed) Geo. E. Chamberlain.”
Judge Wickersham devoted a con
siderable portion of his speech to an
attack upon myself and 1 am free to
confess that 1 am at a loss to know
why this was done, not that it makes
the slightest difference to me, but 1
am certainly not an issue in this
campaign as I am not a candidate
for any oilice, either elective or ap
pointive. Put he seeks through me
to tie the Pemocratie party to th<
(luggenheims, the Fish Corporation,
the Transportation Companies and tr
Shackleford, whom I believe is gener
ally recognized as being the leader of
the Republican party of Alaska
rhero is no alliance, secret or other
wise. between the Democratic party
and the Shackleford wing of the Re
publican party of Alaska, lhere i.'
:»o alliance, secret or otherwise, be
i oen the Democratic party and tin
liuggenheims, the 1* ish Corporations
,m- the Transportation Companies am
neither of these companies have con
tributed one cent towards del ray ini
the expenses of the Democratic part)
iumpaign for this year. As an indi
vidua! 1 am in no manner connectet
with any transportation company, oi
ith the (itiggenheims or with the
Wishing Corporations other than my
lirm defended a recent case of the

Having put the statement of my
position and that of the Democratic
party clearly before you let us now
tonsider Judge Wickersham s con net
t?oi» with those “malefactors of
great wealth.” On June 20. 1016.
Judge Wickersham wrote Hart L.

the following letter:

My Dear Mr. Thane.
This letter is written to you in on
! tire frankness and confidence. Your
1 reply will be held strictly confidenti
al also. I have made every effort in
my power to secure a proper organi
■ zation of the Republican party in Al
aska so that we might not only elect
the Delegate but the Republican mem
bers of the Legislature as well. It
seems to me the situation is such to
urge all members 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.
1 shall support the Republican Na
tional ticket as 1 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 Chose in charge of the Seward
Convention insofar as the nomination
for Delegate is concerned. From this
correspondence you will discover that
if I had agreed to surrender my free
dom as the representative of the peo
ple o* A aska in the matter of patron
age 1 V'Oi.M have teen nominaud
there. I did not do that and in my
refusal was and now am fully sup
ported by the Congressional Republi
can Committee, to whom all the cor
respondence and the facts were sub
mitted.
The question which confronts me
now is: what will you and my other
£00(1 friends in Juneau do in tin* mat
ter of assisting me to secure proper
. rganization of the Republic an party
through the Divisional Convention.
Will you support mo as a candidate
for Delegate with earnestness,—or at
all? Would my nomination in the Di
visional Convention in the First Di
vision be agreeable to you and would
it give strength to the organization
and assist in electing Republican
members to the Legislature? If 1
can feel assured that I can have a
fair support around Juneau I fee! sure
of re-election. Will you write me
what the situation is and what I can
depend upon in the First Division.
Your reply will be held strictly con
fidential.
Very truly yours,
< signed) JAM ES WIC K E RSH A M.”
Mr. Wickersham on the same day
wrote an identical letter to l\ F.
Bradley who controls the great Tread
well corporations. You will note from
Judge Wickersham’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.
tackling is the president and control
ling factor of the Gastineau Mining
Co. Mr. Juckling is also a large
stockholder and reputed to have the
controlling interest in the l'acilic Al
aska Navigation Co., which company
operates what is known as the “Ad
miral Line” of boats. .So much for
one transportation company.
Let us now see about tin* other
transportation company. At tin* re
cent Republican Divisional < onvention
of the Third Division, held at Val
dez on the 17th day of July, 10DJ, Mr.
(ieorge C. Hazelet who is generally
recognized as the Guggenheim politi
cal representative of the Third Di
vision secured in that ('onvention the
nomination of Mr. Wirkersham for
Delegate to Congress as a candidate
of the Republican party of tin* T! t
Judicial Division. The aggregation
of wealth commonly known as the
(luggonheims own the Kennecott
Mine, the Copper River & \orthw«*s*
ern Railway Co., and the Alaska
Steamship Company. Does it seem
possible that Mr. Ifaz.elet as the puli
tieal representative of the Third Di
vision of these immense interests
would secure the nomination of a man
who was sincerely opposing them.?
»
Does it not appear more reaso mh'e
Mat the alleged antagonism of Judg*
Wickershain’s to those inierr * >
merely a ’oluiV for the purpo of g»*t
ting the vote of the unthinking peo
p's. .My information is that Mr.
Hazelet has been ever .-inn* tile Con
vention which nominated Mr. Wick
eisham and now is sincen-’y and « am
est’y work'ng for the electi n of Mr.
Wickei sham.
Mr. Wickerslum dev ted a great
portion *>;' his recent speech at \ a tie*/,
to slating what he hail done in the
way of securing legislation while in
Congress and named a number oi m .«
he had passed hut he failed to n:e."
one very important law which he ! i
passed on July IS, 1014, which re w
ed the Copper Kiver & Nort!n\e>tn
Kailway with other railway companie
in Alaska from paying the Keen e
tax theretofore imposed of $100.00 per
annum per mile. I fail to tind where
Mr. Wickersham has ever u ed hi.
C'eat talents to relieve the restaurant
keeper, hotel keeper, eigat store,
hoarding house, etc., from this (Vdei
a I license tax. hut he seems to have
been moved by a great sympat ly tor
the poor downtrodden C.uggenheims
struggling along with their Copper
Kiver & Northwestern Kailway Co.,
hence he secured the passage o1 the
bill which relieved them from paying
$100.00 per annum per mile tax on
their railroad.
