SEWARD, ALASK MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1. 1915.
There is a strong otTort being made to create the impression that the
Republicans will win the next general election and Alaskan political plans
arc being formed with such an impression as a groundwork. We are sure
to have a Republican candidate for the congressional race in the election
next year because of the very belief, groundless or not, that the Republicans
will win the presidency. Democrats will certainly not concede any such
thing. They have perfect confidence, apparently, that the splendid record
of W ilson will be enough to hold him in the chair and every Alaskan, of any
old shade of politics, should have a warm spot in his heart tor the present
administration.
Hut, an interesting thought arising from the knowledge that the Re
publicans in the territory will have a candidate of their own is the thought
of what Mr. Wickersham's attitude will he if the “regular” republicans re
fuse to name him as their candidate. He has recently, by all accounts, re
turned t«> the regular Republican fold in national politics, and is named in
the congressional Directory as a Republican. There is probably no chance
in the world for him to secure the nomination from the Republican organiza
tion. To the members of that organization his name is anathema. It has
always seemed to he the chief aim of their political existence to defeat the
present delegate and anyone who knows them is perfectly sure that Wick
ersham will never he their candidate.
Wo are also sure, of course, to have a Democratic candidate and the
chances are better than ever for having a labor candidate since more trouble
h;ts come to the surface in connection with the eight hour day, the railroad
construction and other mutters. As the story that W'ickersham will give
up the race to Dan Sutherland we shall probably soon have a contradiction
or confirmation from Mr. W'ickersham himself when he arrives here, al
though similar rumors in former elections have elicited very little informa
tion from the delegate until the last moment. Such an apparent distaste on
his side to speak of such matters is always stated by the other side to have
been the cause of Gilmore running against him after having once been one
of his chief supporters.

fifteen millions over the budget of

J. H. Cobb, territorial attorney,
who returned on the Alameda from
Seattle where he has been in confer
ence with a large percentage of rep
resentatives of Alaska packers
relative to the license imposed upon
the companies by the last legislature
states that he will draw up an agree

Strong's approval, to the end that a
test suit may be instituted for the
1913-14-15 taxes. The caning
interests have signified their willing
ness, in writing, to pay the taxes with
interest in the event the law is sus
tained, provided the territory waives
penalties? The trial of the suits
will be expedited as much as possible
before the circuit court of appeals.—

instead of practising the promised
economy, has undertaken extremely
costly work. This question is going
to be one of the big issues of the
coming fight but the Democratic lead
ers declare that they can show that
no expenditures were made which
were not perfectly justifiable. There
is no doubt now that the war emerg
ency taxes will be maintained next
year and may possibly be increased.
SAID DAWSON
WAS IN U. S.
.
Only a year or so back the post
office department at Washington
wrote a very vigorous letter to the
postmaster at Dawson, telling him if
he did not receive a report from his
office immediately he would close up
the office; that he had recoivod no re
port from him and that one should
be fded immediately. As Dawson is j
in Canadian teritory, the postmaster
very wisely objected to sending in his
report to Uncle Sam.
A department store from New
York refuses to ship goods to Alaska
as he does not care for business from
a “foreign country.” The Kansas
City Star wants more money for
sending that journal of intelligence
to our insular possessions, and a man
from Iowa wants to know if we pub
lish our paper in Eskimo or English.
