SKWAKP, ALASKA. SATURDAY. NOV. I. LUC.
The moment has arrived for that eleventh hour story
which shows the opposition candidate a til subject for the
penitentiary. The Senator Lodge story about the Wilson
postscript failed to find a lodgement and it lias evidently
lost its force in the campaign. In the territory of Alaska
we are hearing now that Sulzer is a bad one vv non it come.'
to being an employer of labor. Two men have said so hut
it should not bo forgotten that all the other eighty men
working for him swear by him. A letter has been publish
ed all over the division which shows that Jack Ronan was
president of the Mine Operators Association in the ia:i
ana when strike breaking labor was invited but Kotin
lias proved clearly that he was not president at the time
that letter was written and that he was not in the terri
tory at all. An old letter head of the Association was a.'
od. Wiekersham has been too long running to make an
eleventh hour story effective, but he has just tried one
himself when lie said lie changed his mind about going to
Fairbanks from Cordova because tiie roads built by the
horrible Colonel Richardson were not lit to travel on.
And now we hear that Mr. Wiekersham is sacrificing him
self on the altar of the public weal to stay in Cordova and
ti'dit against high rates of the steamship companies to and
from Alaska. Oh. You Jim!
Colonel Richardson has clearly performed a splendid
service to suffering humanity by letting the fall rains wet
his road and so keep the Delegate where duty calls him u<
get one more shot at the Guggenheim Gargoyle. Hurrah
tor the people and down with wet roads and. incidentally,
with road commissions and capitalists and everyone else
that isn’t a follower of the delegate trom Alaska. Rut
Mr. Wiekersham either stayed in Cordova because the
roads were bad or he stayed there to be the champion of
the “people" against predatory wealth. Which was it?
It really doesn’t matter which it was; It was politics, is
polities and will be politics to the end of time as long as the
dear public is ready to swallow dope. And this sort of
thing mav elect Wiekersham or anyone else. It was one
of tiu>60 eleventh hour cries, “Rum, Rome and Rebellion."
that defeated Blaine, but it was a boomerang.
Be careful of that last moment attack on the opposi
tion. Only too many people who take part in politics are
unscrupulous and the last thing that bothers the man
without scruple is the truth.
The winter is nearly over. Christmas is only about
seven weeks away and we got over the first cold spell
without many casualties. In seven weeks, seven short
weeks, the days will be on the turn to greater length. We
should worrv.
