mire and respect him for his
courage and his honesty. But
they want special privileges
and for that reason they seek
and are willing to pay to have
a Marquam as Delegate, and
their controlled minions in the
Territorial Legislature.
Altho vanquished at the polls
on Nov. 2 the Reactionaries
are again preparing to give bat
tle to the Progressives. The
next conflict will be staged at
the Capital City, with the open
ing of the Territorial Legis
lative session on March 7th
next. While it is recognized
that the advocates of the in
terests of all the people are in
the majority in both Houses,
it is expected that the usual
methods of fawning and .offer
ing various “inducements” will
catch a few weak-minded mem
bers off their guard, and that
they will be persuaded to op
pose legislation that is not ac
ceptable to the Paid Press and
the wily lobbyists.
To what extent these time
worn methods may be success
ful is problematical. It is in
conceivable that any great num
ber of Legislators can be in
duced to become victims to
avarice and favoritism and to
the detriment of their honor
and honesty. We confidently
believe that when' the eighth
session has drawn to a CIOs'© a
majority of the membership of
both Houses will have earned
continued confidence and rfe
spect of a constituency that
admires and rewards the qual
ities of manhood and courage
that is so strongly exemplified
in the official acts of Delegate
Sutherland and men of like
calibre.
The people of Alaska have
much reason to hope for bene
ficial results in the way of pro
gressive legislation upon the
part of the members in the
next session. And we do not
believe that they will be dis
appointed.
