TO THE VOTERS OF ALASKA
1 feci it my duty as Democratic1
National Committeeman for Alaska to
reply to a few of the untruthful and
inconsistent statements made by
Judge Wickersham in his speech at
Valdez on the evening of the 14th
day of October, 1916.
Judge Wickersham claimed in Se
attle, Ketchikan, Juneau and other
places that he had secured the legis-j
lation which resulted in the govern
ment constructed railroad in Alaska, i
Knowing this to be an untruthful
statement 1 deemed it my duty to
ascertain the facts regarding the Na
tional legislation which authorized the
construction of a government owned
railroad in Alaska. I therefore on
August 15th, 1916, wired Secretary
Lane to send me a history of the Al
aska Railroad legislation in Congress.
On August 19th, 1916, in response to;
this wire 1 received the following:

not contain provision for first Alaska

Wickersham claims that this reply
was compiled by some department
clerk and not authorized by Secretary
Lane. You will note that my tele-,
gram was directed to Secretary Lane.

Washington Secretary Lane was un

After Mr. Wickersham made his
speech at Juneau in which he also
claims that he had secured the rail
road legislation and that Senator
Chamberlain hud introduced the bill in
the Senate, that Wickersham had pre
sented to him, John W. Troy, of Ju

ative to the matter and received the
following reply:

which the railroad in Alaska is be

Judge Wickersham devoted a con
siderable portion of his speech to an
attack upon myself and 1 am free to
confess that 1 am at a loss to know
why this was done, not that it makes
the slightest difference to me, but 1
am certainly not an issue in this
campaign as I am not a candidate
for any office, either elective or ap
pointive. But he seeks through me
to tie the Democratic party to the
Guggenheim*, the Kish Corporation,
the Transportation Companies and to
Shackleford, whom 1 believe is gener
ally recognized as being the leader of
the Republican party of Alaska.
There is no alliance, secret or other
wise, between the Democratic party
and the Shackleford wing of the Re
publican party of Alaska. There is
no alliance, secret or otherwise, be
tween the Democratic party and the
Guggenheim*, the hish Corporation*
,r the Transportation Companies and
'.either of these companies have con
tributed one cent towards defraying
:iie expenses of the Democratic party
campaign for this year. As an indi
vidual I am in no manner connected
with any transportation company, oi
.ith the Guggenheim* or with the
Fishing Corporations other than m\

Having put the statement of my
position and that of the Democratic
parly clearly before you let us no\\
consider Judge Wickersham’s connec
tion with those “malefactors of
great wealth.” On June 20, 1016,
Judge Wickersham wrote Bart L.
Thane, of the Gastineau Mining Co.,
the following letter:

My Dear Mr. Thane.
This letter is written to you in en
tire frankness and confidence. Your
reply will be held strictly confidenti
al also. I have made every eHort in
my power to secure a proper organi
zation of the Republican party in Al
| aska so that we might not only elect
the Delegate but the Republican mem
bers of the Legislature as well. It
seems to me the situation is such to
urge all members of the party to lay
aside personal grief and join hands
that Alaska may stand square with
the Administration of Hughes and
Fairbanks after the 4th of next
March.
1 shall support the Republican Na
tional ticket as I have always done,
except in the single instance of four
years ago. When Mr. Roosevelt was
candidate 1 supported him. I send
you herewith a copy of the letters and
Mogryms which passed between me
and Those in charge of the Seward
Convention insofar as the nomination
for Delegate is concerned. From this
correspondence you will discover that
if I had agreed to surrender my free
dom as the representative of the peo
ple of Alaska in the matter of patron
age l v.ould have l een nominated
there. I did not do that and in my
refusal was and now am fully sup
ported by the Congressional Republi
can Committee, to whom all the cor
respondence and the facts were sub
mitted.
The question which confronts me
now is: what will you and my other
good friends in Juneau do in the mat
ter of assisting me to secure proper
o rganization of the Republican party
through the Divisional Convention.
Will you support me as a candidate
for Delegate with earnestness,—or at
all? Would my nomination in the Di
visional Convention in the First Di
vision be agreeable to you and would
it give strength to the organization
and assist in electing Republican
members to the Legislature? If l
can feel assured that I can have a
fair support around Juneau I feel sure
of re-election. Will you write me
what the situation is and what I can
depend upon in the First Division.
Your reply will be held strictly con
fidential.
Very truly yours,
(signed) JAMES WICKERSHAM.”
Mr. Wickersham on the same day
wrote an identical letter to P. F.
Bradley who controls the great Tread
well corporations. You will note from
Judge Wiekersham’s letter to Mr.
Thane his longing to co-operate with
Mr. Thane. Mr. Thane is manager of
the Gastineau mine and Mr. D. C.
Jackling is the president and control
ling factor of the Gastineau Mining
Co. Mr. Jackling is also a large
stockholder and reputed to have the
controlling interest in the l’acilic Al
aska Navigation Co., which company
operates what is known as the “Ad
miral Line” of boats. So much for
one transportation company.
Let us now see about the other
transportation company. At the re
I cent Republican Divisional Convention
' of the Third Division, held at Val
dez on the 17th day of July, r.HlJ, Mr.
(leorge C. Hazelet who is generally
recognized as tin* fiuggenheim politi
cal representative of the Third Di
vision secured in that Convention tin*
I nomination of Mr. Wickersham for
Delegate to Congress as a candid at<*
I of the Republican party of the Third
Judicial Division. The aggregation
of wealth commonly known as the
fiuggenheims own the Kennecott
I .Mine, the Copper River & Northwo.'
ern Railway Co., and the Alask;
Steamship Company. Does it seem
possible that Mr. Hazelet as the poli
tical representative of the Third I>i
vision of those immense interests
would secure the nomination of a man
who was sincerely opposing them.?
i
Does it not appear more reasonable
that the alleged antagonism of Judge
Wickersham’> to those interests is
merely a hlulf for the purposes of get
ting the vote of the unthinking peo
pie. My information is that Mr.
Hazelet has been ever since the Con
vention which nominated Mr. Wick
ersham and now is sincerely and earn
estly working for the electi n of Mr.
Wickersham.
Mr. Wickersham devoted a great
portion of his recent speech at Yaldev
to suiting what he had done in the
way of securing legislation while in
Congress and named a number of las .«
he had passed but he failed to mention
one very important law which he had
. passed on July IS, 1014, which re «*\
ed the Copper River & Northwestern
Railway with other railway com panic
in Alaska from paying the liven e
tax theretofore imposed of $100.00 pei
annum per mile. 1 fail to lind where
Mr. Wickersham has ever used his
great talents to relieve the restaurant
keeper, hotel keeper, cigar
hoarding house, etc., from this fedvt
al license tax, hut he seems to have
been moved by a great sympathy tor
the poor downtrodden (eaggenheine.
struggling along with their t upper
| River it Northwestern Railway < '
hence he secured the passage of the
bill which relieved them from paying
$100.00 per annum per mile ta\ on
their railroad.
