SEWARI), ALASKA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11,1916.
The Seattle Post Intelligencer of September 1 carries
an editorial telling the people of Alaska how they should
vote at the coming election for a delegate to congress. For
the moment let us not say which candidate is supported by
the Seattle paper lest it might be said this mild protest
was suggested by partisanship. The editorial concludes
with the following:
“Alaska needs him and will continue to need him* and
all factions, in view of what he has done and is able to do,
should unite and with one voice return him to congress.
It is the thing to do and it ought to* be done. Alaska
should see it and do it.”
There now, Alaska. You see your way clearly. The
Seattle Post-Intelligencer has told you, has pointed out
clearly the trail you must follow. You have no right to be
a Democrat in Alaska. Seattle tells vou. As for being a
member of the regular organization of the Republican
party in Alaska, the Spirit (Tty won't stand for it. What
right has a ^uburb of Seattle or customer of Seattle to
have political parties? Oh, yes, Seattle should have per
fect freedom to tire a president of the United States be
cause he is a Democrat. It is fully within its right to fight
any Democrat or Republican governor. The same Post
Intelligencer stopped at nothing to defeat Hi Gill just be
cause Hi Gill didn't see his way to agree with the limitless
intelligences which control a certain morning paper in his
city. Just now the same paper is opposing Senator Poin
dexter, a very able man, because Poindexter went over to
the Progressives at the time Roosevelt split the Republi
cans and, by the way, was followed by Alaska's represent
ative. On both these occasions the majority of the people
could not see eye to eye with the Post-Intelligencer, even
in a territory where it is not impertinence on its part to
butt into politics, and it is quite possible also that the peo
ple of Alaska may not look to Seattle or any of its papers
for political guidance.
The above suggests a question: Why is the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer now so strongly in favor of Mr. James
Wickersham? Word of honor, this is not asked for any
political purpose. It is merely written here as a timely
comment on politics now that the campaign is starting in
the territory. The fact that Republican organizations and
newspapers in the States support Mr. Wickersham rather
suggests the possibility that in the event of Republican
success in the national election the Alaska delegate might
be regarded as the “regular” representative of that party
in the territory. This would mean, of course* a repudia
tion of the Republican organization in Alaska, and for
this very reason it seems all the stranger that a paper
which has been popularly supposed to represent the arch
enemies of Mr. Wickersham in the past should now be
taking up cudgels for him. It looks as if Mr. Wickersham
e ced some of his friends to make explanations
that will account for their friendship. Really, Mr. Wick.,
you ought to stop them for your own sake. Lots of people
who do not vote for you have a sneaking liking for you and
even they would hardly like to see you butchered to make
capital for a Seattle or any other outside publication.
