Wickersham at His Old Tactics.—Interesting Scrim
mage is Promised in Distribution of Offices
HAZELET CHOICE OF TERRITORIAL COMMITTEE j
ospect Holds As Much Trouble As Ton of Dynamite
Says Washington Dispatch.—Plenty of Candi*
dates for Offices.— Everybody Wants -'em. _
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—The Alaska political situ
ation promises an interesting scrimage in the distribu
tion of offices under Pres. Harding. Wickersham has
presented volumnious petitions here seeking the govern
orship, while George C. Hazelet of Cordova appars to be
the choice of the territorial committee.
The candidates are looked upon here as worthy oppo
nents and it is thought probable here that the president
may look beyond both candidates in making his selection
for governor. , , ^ \
There we two tickets in the fieH-for federal judge;
John Rustgard and Cidl CTiegg. E. {omen, Tom Markham,
E. E. Ritchie, Arthur Frame, Ralph Robertson and L. V.
Ray of Seward are candidats for district attorney. She^
roan Duggan, D. E. Folsom, Grover Wyne, Arthur Shoup,
Guy Irwin, F. Coppemoll and F. Harrison are m be race
forUnited States Marshall Chas. Beam, Harvey Sulh
van L. L. Harding, A. J. Bakke, John 0. White, Jack
Wickerson, 0. P. Gaustad, M. W. Griffith, Geo _ Dooley,
Jack Chovin and others for collector of customs. J. G. Mc
Bride, Charles D. Garfield, and Earl Hunter are candi
dates for surveyor general and territorial secretary. Han
dley Sterling, Edward Kendall are also in the race.
The line-up, it is said, holds a# much potential trouble
as a ton of dynamite and every prospect of heavy explo
sions before the battle is ended._ _

Wick’s Friends Admit Defeat—McBride Recom
mends Alaskans for Office
I
JUNEAU, Feb. 14—Wickersham’s friends evident
ly have given up all hope of his appointment as governor
o] Alaska, their slogan being “anything to beat Hazelet.”
Cias. Herron’s Daily Capitol, Wick’s official organ and
mouth piece scents defeat for its candidate and fully real
izuig that George C. Hazelet, in all probability will be
named for governor,• trotting out all alleged aspirants
ii‘ »pi the states, in the hope that if the fight can be made
bi ter enough against Hazelet, one may be selected as
a ompromise. In a four column editorial the Capitol in
tti lates that Scott C. Bone, former editor of the Seattle
P< st Intelligencer, be named for the position and in the
sa le editorial asserts if Bone will not accept, another
ne vspaper man from the Pacific coast will be among lead
in contenders.
These statements from the Wickersham mouth piece
ar taken as a pratical acknowledgement, even from his
f ri aids that Wickersham is not in the running.
For years the residents of Alaska have been unani
mc isly opposed to'the carpet bag system in Alaska. Re
ou Means here denounce the tactics of the Wickersham
ite in clouding the issue by trying to prevent an Alaskan
?e< iring the appointment simply because Wickersham has
no 4 chance.
