NEW POLITICAL ALLIGNMENTS
Once more an Alaskan political family is divided
against itself. A strong supporter and faithful follower
of the delegate is suing the Republican national com
mitteeman for criminal libel. Under the circumstances
the delegate has the choice of taking sides with one of
his regular supporters or coming out openly against the
national committeeman of his party. Herein will occur
a test of strength that will bear watching.
If the national committeeman is that and not a mere
title, Capt. A. E. Lathrop is the man to suggest appoint
ments to federal positions, which, in itself is a potent
political weapon to be used either for or against the del
egate. As the libel complained of was contained in an ar
raignment of the delegate and, according to its author,
written with that purpose in view, many are wondering
how the libel suit originated primarily with Frame, when
the mass of subject matter contained in his complaint
was primarily directed to the delegate.
Coming immediately upon the heels of William
Paul’s alleged dethronement as leader of the native
vote the situation becomes a triangle.
It is feared that the wide cleavages thus created
will result in the present encumbent of the delegateship
finding himself left with a scant following should Paul
decide to take his revenge and swing his support to some
other candidate, possibly a democrat. This, plus the fol
lowing of Capt. A. E. Lathrop, is a force no politician
can ignore.
To republican stalwarts, the situation brings con
sternation and awe, and already a collection of oil cans
is being made in the hope of smoothing the troubled
waters before the next election rolls'around.
Politics is a game usually played behind closec
doors. One of the rules is, when you don’t agree with the
other players, you’re out.
With the establishment of a steamer service betweer
Seward and the Valley of the Ten Thousand Smokes, this
city will make a strong bid for its share of tourists. Thi:
is one of the grefit wonders of the world—equal to th<
eight—and few seekers after the unusual will oyerlool
the chance to see the valley with Mount Katmai, a liv<
volcano, in action.
