CANDIDATES FOR THE DELEGATESHIP
According to advices in the Gateway yesterday,
Charles A. Sulzer, Democrat, has filed for the delegate
ship and he issued a card to the Alaska people that for a
straightforward statement, his friends will admit all as-j
sections contained therein are c rrect and his enemies
will do the same. There is no grand flourish ot “prom
ises.” Delegate Sulzer, in the short and troubled time he
has been the Delegate to Alaska, has done excellent work.
He has been hampered both at home and in Congress by
the war legislation which is paramount to all legislation
at the present time. Delegate Sulzer has made more
friends since his election than before, because all will
agree that he has taken a personal interest in all sections
of the North as hundreds of letter writers will attest. He
will win the Democratic nomination at the primaries and
then make a strong campaign for re-election.
James Wickersham has represented Alaska previous
ly. how well is a matter of opinion as is practically every
thing else in the world. Mr. Wickersham has filed this
time as a Republican. It seems to the writer that prev
iously he has filed as a Wickersham-Republican; Wicker
sham-Democrat, just as a plain Independent and what
not? One thing can be said about James Wickersham

and that is he is a straight-out-and-out politician when it
comes to campaigning. He will tell one division one thing
and another division another. At that he came near de
feating Charles A. Sulzer in the last election and this is
-aid in view of the pending circumstances surrounding
ihc contest. Whether or not any other Republican filed
not known at this writing.
Of Francis Connally, who has filed as Delegate or
he Socialist ticket, the Editor knows nothing, although
inquiry has been made and it may-be secured in time to
appear in the news column on some other page of today’s
issue. The Socialists are gaining in Alaska and if radical
ism could be eradicated, I. W. W. tendencies eliminated, j
the party might have more of a following.
In the campaign between now and the primaries the
(lateway is going to be absolutely independent. The ex
pressions of the Editor or those of one man, but many
many times, an Editor, who is a thorough newspaperman,
sees the side the public does not; probes beneath the sur
face; eliminates the blarney; gets the facts. The inde
pendent Editor weighs the candidacy of a man thorough
ly then deducts, and his analysis is given, then commendec j
or condemned. But the independent Editor tells his view:
and if the people, the men and the women now controllinf ,
the vote in Alaska, vote against the opinions of any Edi
tor, that is another thing, personal opinion against im
; sonal opinion.
The Editor has received a letter from a well knowr i
Seward woman asking if he knows what he is writinf
about when he says “men in Seward are knitting.” Yov
betcha, sister, and you would be surprised to know wh(
about fifteen of them are. In fact, sister, three men arc
so proficient in knitting that it is not impossible that they
.vill challenge any three women in Seward to a knitting
contest. Now, do you want to know any more?
Even if the snow is on the ground here in Seward
while we are waiting for the planting season, it will be
just as well to look about for'that vacant plot available
for potatoes. If worst comes to worst, spuds can prevent
famine in America.
On to Petrograd seems now to be the Berlin deter
mination. Meanwhile what is to become of that April
Fool day Hindenburg appointment at Paris.

Just when everybody was beginning to get ready to
salt down a barrel of them—what became of the ooligans
anyway?
UNDERGROUND
HANGARS FOR
THE HUNS NOW
AMSTERDAM, March 1.—The Ger
man army is now constructing under
ground hangars for its airplanes as
protection against English bombing
raids, says the Echo Beige. At one
of the principal Belgian aerodromes,
hangars of this type capable of hous
ing twelve machines have already
been completed by the use of war
prisoner labor.
1 The hangars are of great depth and
are protected overhead by a thick
roof of concrete and earth. The ma
chines are underground and emerge
by a long runway in full flight. In
returning they alight on the inclined
plane, down which the machines run
easily to their shelters.
