SKWAUII. ALASKA, WEDNESDAY. NOV. 1, !!>lo.
There are lots of young people in the territory to
whom the lirst delegate election would lpok like ancient
mstory lull there are many others who can look hack lot
years U'fore Alaska had a representative in congress and
when she was struggling to secure one. It is interesting
u> note that here in Seward are many people who do not
vet understand the political paraphenalia with which the
territory is supplied. Kven some ot the voters ot recent
arrival cannot tell how many representatives, senators
a nt others are to he elected. Alaska is yet to them poli
tically a terra incognita and it might he usclul to them to
i.vt a sketch of the political development of the land in
\. rich thev live.
* . M t 1 1. .
i mil the klondyke rush there was reau\ no .vumKa
initsi ie of Juneau and Sitka. Then came the discovery of
.,ome, and later Fairbanks. In the meantime people had
found their way to this southwestern coast. It was only
in the lirst few years of the present century that Alaska
I'cgv.n to regard itself as a possible political entity and
they began to agitate in Washington. Some very bright
men visited the national capital from different parts ot
.o territory but there was no cohesion and little agree
ment in the views. The lirst real effort to organize came
with a convention held in the Butler hotel, Seattle, in the
i:ill of l;Delegates were elected to this convention in
most of the large centers by a regular system of voting
and the convention, if memory is correct, selected a repre
sentative from each of the three divisions to represent
the territory in Washington and to tell its needs. The
territory had not then had its fourth division created. At
last Washington agreed to give the territory a represent
ative in congress and in llHXi the first delegate election
u ok place. At that time an election of a man took place
for the short term and of a man for the longer term.
Frank War-key, who is now a miner and merchant at Mar
> mil, was elected to the short term and Tom (ale was
elected i * the hmg term. Waskey was and is a splendid
type oi* the successful young Alaskan mining man. He
was from Nome and ('ale was from Fairbanks. At the
election for the short term another splendid Alaskan, Ex
(iovernor Swine ford, was also a candidate, ('ale did not
s« ok re-election •r ealise, probably, of a story published
about him and when the next election came on in IPOS
John Forson, a law yer of Nome, was nominated by the Re
p s' beans, and Jack Ronan. a mine operator of Fairbanks
and now a candidate from Seward for the territorial sen
ate, was nominated by the Democrats. Then came the agi
tation of regular Republicans against the organization
and they hit on Judge Wickersham who had just been re
lieved from the district court bench at Fairbanks by, was
t not. President Roosevelt. W ickersham was elected and
has been elected ever since.
The Fairbanks Citizen of October 1(> publishes the
cabled story of the Wickersham meeting in Seward. The
Citizen tells where it got the cable from and points out
that the source is Wickorshamite. This message sent over
the lines actually quoted the words of the delegate to con
gress touching on Colonel Richardson’s personal habits,
out, to the credit of the Fairbanks paper be it said, it
repudiated the charge and said that in publishing the
message it did not want to appear as opposed to Colonel
Richardson or the road commission.
Rut. really, it seems to be an indication of a lowering
of the Alaskan standard of life, public and private, when
a man's private character is assailed publicly. There
‘'tight to be some remedy to put an end to the practise, a
remedy which ought to be legal, but a remedy of some
kind.
