SEWARD, ALASKA. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28. 19U
The Gateway takes the liberty of saying “welcome”
for Seward to Mr. Charles A. Sulzer, the Democratic can
didate for congress. It said the same to Mr. James Wick
ersham. Mr. Sulzer represents the party which now con
trols the government of the nation. But ii he merely was
the visiting candidate of a great party out oi power he
should l>e welcomed just the same as the representative of
that party.
Party government is something which Democracy in
all lands has found inevitable and indispensable. We
should pause before giving voice to the sentiment that a
man may be better than his party. People so often say
that they vote for the best man instead oi voting for the
party. They seem to forget that democratic government
could not exist without party. If all men were at liberty
to act individually in politics where could the cohesion be
derived that is necessary to government? Even in cabi
nets when members find themselves unable to agree with
the majority of their colleagues they find resignation the
onlv course. The only way that the one-man party system
% - . 1 i 1
can ever be a success is to make it an autocracy, ami int
world has long ago sentenced autocracies to their doom
or sent them on their way to it.
Political parties are potentially governments and as
such should always command respect. A man can never
hope to reform a poor party alone and outside of it. Only
egregious vanity could ever make him believe he could.
Mr. Sulzer impresses one as a man who would be an
absolutely reliable political representative. He would be
loyal to his party and loyal to his constituents at the same
time. He has proven himself possessed of business ability
and in the legislature he has left his mark. Charles A.
Sulzer may be described as a rattling good man.
v
It is unfortunate in one way that the presidential
election comes off on the same day as the Alaska election.
If one could only know which president is to be elected
it would probably cause a big change in the voting in the
territory. This territory has never been represented in
congress by a member of a party in power at the time,
which is very unfortunate in many ways. When we had
Waskey, the Democrat, and Cale in congress we had a Re
publican administration, and Mr. Wickersham has always
l>een on the opposition side. _

It is so superior to any other Rubber Root or Shoe on the
