SEWARl). ALASKA. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 7. LHC
Prohibition literature is very dry reading.
Rarmtm was right; Theres a voter htun e\.i\
minute.
Today a few men are fighting for jobs and the rest of
America is neglecting its business and doing extra work
to Help them.
There is still a hope that, whichever side is elected,
the United States may survive.
W onder if Secretary Seward can see Alaska today.
He bought the Territory about fifty years ago for less
than the tiuggs get out of it now in a few months. And
now we have a parliament and statesmen and. gee whiz,
we have a wet and dry question. One can imagine Seward
walking on the banks of the Stvx and meeting the vener
ated “Soapy" Smith. What would they say to each other?
Let us suppose that Fenelon in the other world wrote ad
ditional chapters to “Dialogues des Marts," and what
would he put into the conversation between the man who
bought Alaska and the man who became the most famous
of its residents. Hex Beach or Wick or Strong or Krause
or Spence or Banjo Bill or Jack London or no one else ex
cepted. Seward and Soapy would probably first ask each
other how the election is going and like all the rest of the
territory they would probably be divided between Sulzer
and the Honorable Janies. Which of the candidates would
the immortal Soapy vote for? This might be difficult to
answer but, perhaps, one need not be a Sherlock Holmes
to decide how Soapy would vote on a certain other ques
tion. But. thoughts like these are only useful to direct the
mind to the changes which have occurred in the Territory
of Alaska since Seward lived and Soapy died.
Roosevelt probably worked more effectively against
Hughes than any Wilson man. He turned many Progres
sives against the Republican and turned many peace lov
ers towards the Democrats.- It is a funny thing that a
supporter may he the greatest enemy. Wilson some time
ago asked Colonel Harvey as a favor not to support his
candidacy and if Hughes had good political sense he would
have made a like request to the terrible Teddy. It is funny
that apparent support is often taken at its face value.
The usual run of politicians seem to have no conception of
the power of subtlety. How often we hear a paper com
ing out to tell us “we are for This or That” just as though
anyone cared a continental whether it was or not. Politi
cians and papers are often big babies. The baby screams
when it wants something and so do its adult prototypes.
It never seems to enter their heads that a false move or a
careless statement by a supporter does more damage than
all the attacks of the known opponent.

A PIER FOl'R DAYS
WICK IT ES COVER MONEY
FAIRBANKS, Oct. 28.—One thou
sand dollars that was telegraphed In
to Fail bunks Monday to bet on Sul
zer was covered yesterday. The an
nouncement that $1,000 was at the
First National Bank at Fairbanks to
bet that Sulzer would carry the First
Division was made Monday evening.
The stakeholders were arranged for
Tuesday. The appearance of the
money dated the Wickites as they had
been advised by Wickersham followers
at Juneau that money was ofTcred
there at two to one that Wickersham
would carry the First. They looked
u(Son the appearance of the money as
a campaign dodge, and proceeded at
once to taking up a collection to cov
er it.
Thursday night, more than two days
after the stakeholders had received
the money, it was announced that they
had about $0fi0 collected with which
to ‘‘take the Juneau money.” The
money was finally covered yesterday
afternoon, and imediately local bet
tors immediately put up $1,000 in $20
gold pieces at McIntosh and Kubon’s
to bet that Sulzer would carry the
First Division. Wickersham men are
heap begged to take the money, but
up to noon today not a cent of it had
been covered.—Ex.
