SEWAKP. ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 26. 1915.
•w*
The next election for congress in Alaska ought to provide lots of fun.
Delegate Wickersham has come out openly with the announcement that hi
has returned to the republicans. The former supporters of him who have
been so anxious to derlar* that part) politics are out of place in the territory
will have some difficult> in adjusting themselves to the new conditions. For
the democrats it will he particularly hard to vote for Mr. W ickersham without
completely abandoning their part) and giving up hope of being able to pose
as still remaining under its colors.
This is not said at all with any diabolical desire to take from the dele
gate’s support. Wickersham has just as much right to declare himself a
republican now a* hundreds of others had to become democrats when W <hkI
row Wilson reached the presidential chair. Most of those men, if they failed
to secure a job under the democratic administration, will probably now hasten
to ally themselves with the G. O. i\ if they find it to he really likely that the
national election will go against the democrats. i
There is always a certain margin of the human political body ready to
join any old party from which it can secure advantages. I he planks of a
political party's platform to such peopple are tommyrot, and, indeed, usual
ly they are right. The only honest politicians in the world are not politicians
at all, if a bull like that is permissible. The man who makes politics hts
chief business actually views it as a commercial undertaking or as a sort of
financial gamble. If the stock of one party goes low he is ready at once
to unload and hitch on to a live one.
There is no intention here, of course, to class Delegate Wickersham in
that category. Since he first ran for congress personal matters entered into
his struggle. He was fought by the territorial regular republicans from the
beginning and. it must he said, he was opposed by men to whom he was very
much superior. But the chief thing to be considered is that he did not waft
himself about amongst the different parties witout good reason.
And if Mr. Wickersham has been indefinite from time to time in stat
ing his political beliefs he is no more guilty than many of his worst enemies.
Men now holding good offices in Alaska under the democratic administration
are no more democrats than I heodore Boosevelt.
SAYS SEWARD WILL BE THE
ST. PETEK SB l KG OF ALASKA.
A Former Lieutenant Governor Be*
Lie'es It Will Be Federal
Headquarters for West.
Joseph H. Hutchinson is of the
opinion that Seward will he the city
chosen by the united States govern
ment as the federal headquarters for
the west He thinks that such a head- ^
quarters is necessary as the District i
lot* Columbia is for the east. "ihe
| growth of America is such thaf she
must have some federal city near the
Orient" he says. "It is g*> ig to be
the center of the army and navy op
erations" is another phrase of Hutch
inson’s in a letter to Derick Lane, j
; Mr. Hutchinson also believes that
steel will be manufactured here and
he goes even so far as to state that
Sewaid will be the center of a popu
\ lation of a million in our time.

❖ CHARGE OF MURDER *

❖ - ♦
WASHINGTON, May 25.—It is re
ported that an attempt is about to be
made to have a charge of murder til
ed against Rockefeller, jr, in connec
tion with the strike in Colorado.
Some of his enemies, or rather, some
members of the labor unions affect
to see in his testimony before the In
dustrial Relations commission the sec
ond time an admission that he is real
ly responsible for the killing of peo-i
pie during the strike troubles.

* WOOD CONTINUES FIGHT <*
* FOR LARGER FORCES. *
A
CULVER, Ind., May 25.—Major j
General Wood in a speech delivered i
hero last night declared once again .
that the United States must maintain
a mrgor army and navy in proportion
to guard against war, not to invite it.
He pointed out as so many others
have pointed out that unpreparedness ,
for war is the surest way of bringing
on war. He is now carrying on a
strenuous campaign with many others
in trying to wake the country to a
belief that large fighting forces arc
badly needed.
