earliest opportunity to answer the
statement of Hughes that the great
threatened railroad strike was settled
on the basis of higher wages and not
v*n the eight hour day principle. The
President declares that the eigh. hour
day principle certainly won. He will
either speak at Shadow Lawn or write
his answer. The idea of Hughes
seems to he that the eight hour da* is
simply useful to get more wages over

ALASKA RAILROAD IS
NOT PARTY ISSUE
(From Seattle P. I.)
“The Alaska railroad is a nonpar
tisan business proposition. Roth the
Republican and Democratic parties
are pledged to carry on the project
and both are in honor bound to see it
to a successful finish.”
This was the statement of Judge!
James Wickersham, delegate in con
gress from Alaska, at the Commercial
Club yesterday.
At the speaker’s table with Judge
Wiekersham was Will H. Parry, Seat
tle’s member of the federal trade com
mission, who in PJ14, as a member of
the Alaska bureau of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, did important
work at Washington in securing the
passage of the railroad bill.
William F. Eckart, president of the
Commercial Club, was chairman of the
meeting and introduced Judge Wiek
ersham.
“ I know that you people here in
Seattle have a deep interest in Al
aska and in the railroad now build
ing,” said Judge Wiekersham. “Our
interests are closely related. What
benefits Alaska necessarily benefits
Seattle and we share to some extent
in the benefits of your increasing im
portance. You realize as well as l
that nothing has been done so far half
so important to the development of
Alaska as the building of the railroad.
Project Nonpartisan
“The Alaska railroad is a nonpar
tisan business proposition. It is in no
wise a political issue. Both the Re
publican and the Democratic parties
are pledged to carry on the project
and both are in honor bound to see it
to a successful finish.
, “It is being constructed under Sec
retary Lane, a man of broad mind and
a true Westerner. It is not important
that he is a Democrat. President Wil
son has gone on record as favoring
the project and his word is good. He
is a big, broad-minded statesman and
a patriotic man.
Vote for Hughes
“Notwithstanding what i say about
' the breadth and the ability of these
men. I would not have you understand
that I’m going to vote the Democratic
ticket, for l shall vote for Charles E.
j Hughes.
“I believe that the Alaska railroad
is just as safe with Charles E. Hughes
as with Woodrow Wilson. 1 do not
believe that Hughes or Wilson would
j be small enough to strike down Al
! aska.
j “In 11108, when I was elected dele
gate from Alaska for the first time,
1 hail in my platform a pledge to do
everything in my power to secure the
passage of a bill to build a govern
ment railroad from the south shore
to the Yukon river. For four terms I
have been the representative of Al
aska in congress, and that road is
now building. 1 will show you from
the records that I hold in my hand
that Republicans and Democrats were
equally in favor of that road.”
Republican Effort Shown
Judge Wickersham then read from
the message of President Taft, sent
to congress February 2, 11)12, recom
mending that the government build u
trunk line railroad and suggesting the
appointment of a commission to in
vestigate the project.
