❖ POLITICAL NOTES *
.> .. O
In the lobby of the Overland Hotel
last evening two men who have al
ways supported Wickersham declar
ed that after the delegate’s action at
Anchorage they were through with
him. This is no diabolical attempt to
knock the delegate. There were sev
eral witnesses and the two men are
well k’lown. It was stated at the
time tnat when Wick’s arrival "as
due the longshore gangs were chang
ed and oldtimers put on.
Dan Sutherland recently wrote to a
Seward man but never mentioned the
least word about his rumored candi
dacy for congress.
Secretary of the Territory David
son, is known to be opposed to the
holding <\* Secretary Short:';U in the
governor’s office but he demos having
ever said anything against Governor
Strong in connection with the matter.
The Seattle Times recently said j
Senator Frank Aldrich would prob
ably be a candidate for nomination as
delegate from Alaska. Frank became
a very ostentatious Democrat after
Wilson’s election. Before that he sup
ported Gilmore. He is a good fellow
at that.
Some of Wickersham’s enemies now
express the belief that he will try to
be a candidate of the regular Rcpubli-!
cans but, failing that, he will run as a
Republican, anyhow. They point out
that he appears in the congressional
directory now as a Republican and not
as a progressive.
The chances are good, judging by
exchanges and other means, that the
next Territorial congressional race
will have as entries Wickersham,
Grigsby, Millard and a socialist. The
socialist may be expected to make
the most of certain government rail
road matters.
E. B. Collins, of Fairbanks, is be
ing mentioned more and more as a
candidate for the governorship if the
general election ends in Republican
victory. After reading in the Gate
way yesterday about the raid on the
Irish World offices local men came to
the conclusion that along with the
loss of the German vote Wilson will
now lose a great part of the Irish vote
unless it is proven that the raid had
a strong reason. Every indication
that Wilson will lose, no matter how
slight, strengthens the determination
of Alaskan Republicans to go ahead.
They are getting pretty “cocky.”
