i For Delegate to Congress—JAMES WICKERSHAM.
THE RAILWAY PROJECT.
We take it that it will require no argument or presentation
jof a statement of facts, to convince Alaskans, and especially
Residents of the territory that will be immediately benefited,
that the government trunk line railway system is the most im
portant matter that confronts us at this time. Full territorial
government, statehood and other important questions will be
solved in due course, and will be more easily solved when
Alaska becomes more populous. And to increase the popula
tion of the territory and develop its latent resources is the
prime motive in the construction of the government railway
project. Hence it is, that we who live in the Cook Inlet coun
try are deeply concerned with the railway construction work.
We regard this as the most important question at this time.
As this newspaper has pointed out, from time to time, Dele
gate Wickersham is the author of the Alaska railway bill. He
led the fight in the congress that ultimately reached a suc
cessful conclusion. The delegate’s speech in the house of rep
resentatives (and this speech was delivered on the floor of the
house) was admittedly the most convincing and informing
argument made in support of the measure. The delegate’s
speech insured the passage of the railway bill. In the matter
of gaining appropriations to carry on construction work, the
delegate has acted in complete harmony with Secretary of the
Interior Lane and the members of the Alaskan Engineering
Commission. We have a combination that is working smooth
ly and working to accomplish the same end—-the early com
pletion of the trunk line railway system.
Why, in the name of common sense, should there be a
change in the delegateship at this important juncture, when
everything is going along so harmoniously? There must be
fib change. Our interests demand the re-election of Delegate
Ayickersham, the father of tlie railway project. Things must
not be disturbed that move along on an even keel.
Charles A. Sulzer, the democratic, candidate for delegate
to congress, spoke before a big audience in Anchorage last
night. Did he say one word with respect to this big develop
ment scheme? If he did, his remarks were lost on the attent
ive ears of the writer of this article. In general terms, lie
gave the town a boost and handed us that line of talk, but he
was silent with respect to the great government railway sys
tem. AVe have no right to say that Mr. Sulzer would, if elect
ed, oppose the railway project. We have the distinct right to
assume, due to hi_stsilence on the matter, that lie is not very
deeply concerned with respect to it. Ilis speech was in strik
ing contrast to that of Delegate Wickersham’s, which made a
feature of the subject which is so near to the hearts of the
people of the Cook inlet country.
AVhom do we want to represent us while this big develop
ment scheme is in progress of construction? One who is pas
sive in the matter, or one who is active in his advocacy with
respect to it? All other questions sink into insignificance be
side this all-important-one, so far as this community is con
cerned.
AVe have had an opportunity to hear both candidates. Is
any one here in doubt as to whom to vote for? We think not.
Mr. Sulzer has been heard and his speech, so far as the rail
way matter is concerned, was decidedly passive and indiffer
ent.
The working man, the business man, the settler, the pro
fessional man, in fact all residents of the Cook Inlet country,
must, if they are actuated by what is best for their own inter
ests, vote for the re-election of Delegate Wiekersham. It would
be suicidal to do otherwise. We have an opportunity to help
ourselves. Let us take due advantage of this opportunity.
There are three candidates for the office of attorney-gen
eral, namely, George B. Grigsby, the democratic candidate,
chily-mommated- at a democratic convention^ George B. Bella-,
field, a product of the alleged republican convention at Seward,
and J. H. Cobb, incumbent, running as an independent candi
date. Of the three Candidates, it is not difficult to make a
choice. Cobb, the incumbent, made a good record in office, but
as an independent candidate he stands no choice whatever for
re-election. In this situation, the choice resolves itself as be
tween Grigsby and Schofield. The Times is strongly in favor
of Grigsby and urges his election. While a republican news
paper, it does not belong to the Shackleford brand of republi
canism, and will fight to a finish any offspring of any conven
tion that is dominated by this slippery, selfish, would-be politi
cal boss. In this category, we have no hesitation in placing
George B. Schofield, a member of the Shackleford-Murane-Gil
more-Irving ring. We prefer .£jj,p£it and out democrat to hy
brids of the ring type, and especially when the democratic can
didate is fitted in all respects for the office he seeks. George
B. Griarsbv is such a candidate and we’re for him.
MARIE: CAHILL AT HARMONY.
The Famous Broadway Musical Star
inthe Big Five-Reel Scream Cal
led “Judy Forgot.”
Marie Cahill, the comedienne, comes
to the Harmony theatre Sunday and
Monday in the screaming farce com
edy called “Judy Forgot”—it is adapt
ed fitom the play by Avery Hopwood,
under the direction of T. Hayes Hunt
er and is one continuous roar from the
first to the last of the five acts.
Briefly, to give you an idea of the
comical situations involved, Judy Ev
ans (Marie Cahill) discovered one eve
ning during her performance that one
man in the box was straining every
effort to catch her glance. Judy, from
a nervous affliction could not help
from winking: every time she smiled
and she winked right straight at Fred
dy.
This is the commencement of a very
rapid courtship and finally they are
married and leave for Europe.
They arrive at Wiesbaden. At the
hotel some German sttidefits are cele
brating. Judy’s affliction is still with
her and the students think that she i§
flirting with them. This is where the
fun commences and it is a scream
right up to the finish.
The Selig Tribune News will also be
shown. Sundays there are three shows,
6:00, 7:30 and 9 p. m.
Tonight (Saturday) as usual is a
varied comedy program. 11-4-lt
