THE WICKERSHAM PROGRAM
The VYickersham machine is trying to run all of the 1
political parties of Alaska, and along lines of personal pol
itics. It is not lighting for principles. It stands for nothing
constructive. Its members boast that they are “throwing
monkey wrenches into the machine." They are trying to
produce a condition of chaos such as existed during the
dark and drear years which followed the withdrawal of
Alaska’s resources into reservations—the years when
j
VYickersham was in flower. They are seeking to arouse
animosities, develop grouches and fan into activity envy
and hate and malice because on them Wickershamism
%
thrives.
In order to make their task ol controlling the Terri
tory easy these Wickites are now trying to control the
nominations of all political parties. They are openly ami
brazenly asking their people to debauch the primary
election law. Declaring that the Republican party is at
their mercy because Wickersham is the onlv one who has
filed for the Delegateship nomination on its ticket, they
shamelessly urge their following to enter the Democratic
primaries and there try to nominate a ticket that they
can defeat with Wickersham at the November election.
Never did rotten political machine anywhere conceive
/ more dastardly program or one of less honor.—(Juneau
Empire.)
HOME GUARDS

hold the regular weekly drill. As
drills arc now being held onu once a

officers of the military gaind, expect a
full turn out of member*. There is an
impression that many are losing in
terest at a time when inbrert should
be keener than evei be fore, o\v ng t •
the intense war situation and the
probability of future drafts.

Chas A. Sulzer
Candidate For Re-election as
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
#“In deciding to enter the primaries as a candidate for Delegate to
Congress from Alaska, I feel impelled to make a briet statement to
the people of the territory. It is now nearly a year since I was seated
' in the House as Alaska's representative to congresvs. During the rrost
of this time the United States has been engaged in a world war, and
every resource of the nation, including money and man power is Do
ing devoted to the single purpose of winning this great war . Every
member of congress in considering legislation for the nation, has
placed the country’s war needs above all needs and requirements and
has subordinated his desires to the military cstaolishment of lie
United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation’s call. She lias given
her share willingly and unstintingly. When the democratic party
went before the people of Alaska in November, nineteen sixteen, it
stood for a certain constructive program which embodied as its prin
cipal elements a wider measure of home rule for the territory, and a
sane and rational policy in the development of natural resources ana
every posible aid to the pioneers of the count)y.
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress
which I am pulsing for passage as opportunity affords:
, “Granting Alaska fuil territorial form of government with home
rule the dominating principle. 1 |
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will bo fair
to all and the protection of the ?nlmon supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the eignty
rod reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
“Changing the game laws so as to give the people a better oppor
tunity to use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
“E {tending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska’s insane within the territory.
“At all times 1 have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the
needs of the territory and the people of the territory, in spite of the
war some measure of progress has f>eeu achieved. 1 have assisted *n
parsing a law which helped the prospector by suspendi lg assessment
\.ork on claims uir ng the year* nineteen seventeen and nineteen
eighteen. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alaska has
been accomplished with blight prospects for a further extension.
“Recognition has been forced for Alaska in the matter of appoint
ments to the second series of training camps for officers. Contracts
which prevented the farmers of the interior from supplying army
posts with their vegetables are cancelled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of
Alaska have come to me from Alarkans all over the territory. Reit
erating my desire to serve the best interests of Alaska, I am submit
ting my name as a candidate for the democratic nomination !or
Delegate "to Congress."
