SEWARD, VLASKA. THl'RSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1915.
Tuesday’s elections were heralded as showing an increase of republican
sentiment but the republicans may be too optimistic. It is admitted that the
republicans carried three congressional districts in New \ork but we must
remember that two of those districts were held formerly by republicans.
The Twenty-third district is the only democratic one which was captured by
the republican- this time, the other two having been held by fairly good
majorities for the republican party at the last election. The defeat of
Walsh for the governorship of Massachusetts by McCall, tfie republican, is
the only other gain reported for the opposition party. The other elections
seem to have been mostly taken up with prohibition, woman's suffrage and
other issues. There is an old saying, first voiced by Winston Churchill of
the British government, that the political pendulum swings and continues to
BWiLg. It goes once for one party and then for another. The democrats
are in power and the pendulum is inclined to swing back, but this docs not
mean that it will not swing the other way before the presidential election.
On the whole, considering the fact that the Democrats have been in power
90 long and have borne the brurt of so much opposition, the results of the
elections this week are rather favorable for that party than otherwise.
Just at present quite a lot of “knocking" of the government railroad and
its builders is made evident. Thi* knocking comes from the class of people
that knock everything. Remember, this is not saying that Uncle Sam ought
not to pay better wages and ought not to be more generous in every way.
Without question the government of the United States should set a good
example to employers, but the talk and “threats" which one hears here just
now are not of the kind to carry weight. There is one little circumstance
which we should all keep in mind, and that is that some people might find
political reasons for creating all the trouble possible in connection with the
construction of the railroad. It should also bo remembered that other “in
orests" migh* consider it worth while treating a sentiment which might
result in condemning the present site of the railroad, and those interests
would surely not stop at a mere matter like hiring agitators. They have
done it before and they can do it again. Of course, the knocking is not
much but it set ms to have been growing in the pa>t day or two. One can
hear about it even if he doesn’t want to talk about it at all. It is a sort of
a little campaign against officials, etc., around Anchorage principally. It is
so negligible that the very mention of it in a newspaper leaves the paper
open to the accusation of having been bribed to sjioak of it at all and so give it
advertising. Just on the spur of the moment the thought occurs that some
of this stuff being whispered about i> not only small but damned small—it
is bu*h league stuff. Forget it.

SAYS BONDS ARE

DELEGATE JAMES WICKERSHAM!
SPEAKS ABOUT SUGGES
TION TO FLOAT ISSUE.
Fairbanks Times: In the opinion
of Delegate James Wiekcrsham, the
matter of issuing bonds for the con-!
struction of the Alaska railroad is
absolutely unnecessary. After read
ing a telegraphic dispatch in the
Times yesterday morning, the dele-1
gate stated that his views coincided
with those of Secretary Lane and he
thinks that President Wilson will
have no difficulty in inducing con
gross to appropriate all the funds
^necessary up to $.'15,000,000, for the
construction of the railroad.
Several years ago, the president j
was empowered by congress to is
sue $400,000,000 worth of bonds for)
the construction of the Panama canal, j
if he saw tit. That has never been j
done, and if there should be any
great shortage of fumis in the treas-\
ury, the president would have the;
authority to issue the Panama bonds i
and replace the money in the treas- •
ury which was spent for the con- j
struction work on the canal.
But even this will be unnecessary,!
Delegate Wickersham thinks, as the |
administration will be able to secure j
enough money by direct appropria-!
tion to carry on the work which was j
started here a year ago last spring.
i
That the administration is deter
mined to do everything it can for
Alaska is evident from statements
issued by Secretary Lane and by in- (
formation obtained by the Alaska
engineering commission.
As long as the people of Alaska
back the administration by boosting
for the work on the government rail
road, the members of the Alaska en
gineering commission have expressed
themselves as believing that Presi
dent Wilson will have no difficulty in
getting any appropriation he may
j ask for.
