A DUTKHKXtK OF OPINION ON NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN
(Coaeduvit Ifcuto Time*)
The fact that John Frame was not elected a member of the Repub
lican National Committee by the recent convention at Cleveland, has
given rise to much Jiscussiou. Many good Republicans of the Territory
were glad of the action taken) because they do not regard Frame as a
bona tide.Republican and it wuuild be more than a little galling to have
this old Democratic »ar horse assume to lead the Republicans of Alaska.
And yet some of the same men are more tl.an regretful that th- will of
the voters should be «et aside, .as it establishes a had precedent The
fault ip reality lies with the voters themselves, for had they exerted
themselves on •election day to th“ same extent that some of tb* in have
.done since. Jobj Frame would not .have been successful at the polls, even
with the ..Indian vote. .«Or. if the ^proper efforts had been made to bring
.out a strung candidate ^gainst hiiu the result at the polls would have
been different. It is.most unfortunate that the situation aro-- and to
.an extent it disco* rages tiue idea of sself government in Alaska.
in principle .the majority should rule and presuimibly it was up to
the Republican voters to select their national committeeman That was
the intent of the legislative .act that provided for the pr»-l>*r*nce vote, fur
that if. all it is, for the national convention really elects 'he committee
man. Rut ordinarily the preference would be regarded and respected.
It was only because,^ str«*n* protesis Ulait went up from the Territory
■that it i*vas nan done Vast week. And the reason advanced was because
the Republicanism of Jkohn Fraane is not as pure as the driven snow and
for the -further 'ie'lief that he w*>uld use the office to serve personal ends
and to .*;n>barrase the IVlegute y> Congress. Although in tb* primary
fight Delegate Sutherland did not come out in favor ol John Frame, ev
idently .tlrtajking that both Frame planks wer« weak, h * believes :n the j
principle of the majority rvle and accordingly made a fis.ht at the ;Cleve- j
land ccrjaveuttbjn to have the choice , .f the Republicans of Alaska wated. i
And for that reason .the selection hae been held up. Tuvo divergent
views of the matter appear it the Anchorage newspapers, and are here
with published;
< From .the Anchorage Daily Alaskan)
While the Alaskan has the highest regard for George Sexton, of 1
Seward, and would have welcomed him for a choice of party leadership j
in the recent primary election had he been inclined to se»k election in I
the manner provided by Territorial statute, we fail to understand j
whence authority coroes for setting aside the decision of the major ty of
the Republican voters of the Territory, as has been done by the Republi- j
can. National Committee at Cleveland. As the situation now stands, the
law permitting Alaskans to name their own national committeemen, is :
absolutely worthless. It encourages candidates to seek -lection involv
ing expenditure of time and money for campaigning, hut dves them' no (
guarantee that if elected, they will be permitted to act is ommitteomen.
A candidate to be really successful, need only to concern himself with
the wire pulling necessary to swing the other members of the national
committee into line. The action of the voters of the Territory is not
worth the trouble of marking the ballots.
The action of the national committee, for whatever reason it may
have been taken and granting even. It has the endorsement of a large
number of Republicans in the Territory, establishes a dangerous prece
dent and threatens endless difficulties in building a big useful Territorial
organization. And it paves the way for a return to machine politics,
such as existed before the enactment of the primary law.
If the law providing for the election of national committeemen is
not to be seriously regarded by leaders of the party. th*»n let us have it
removed entirely from the statute books of the Territory, and be done *
• (From the Anchorage Daily Times)
George Sexton of Seward, has been appointed Republican national
committeeman for the Territory of Alaska. The appointment was made
by the Republican National Committee at Cleveland.
The selection of Mr. Sexton came as no surprise to a number of |
Government Alaska officials and other Republicans of the Territory who |
were determined to block the selection of John W. Frame to this im
portant office.
In this they were eminently successful, and despite the fact that
John W. Frame received t^ie majority vote of Alaskans and was supported
by prominent Alaska politicians.
The.Times fought Mr. Frame at the primaries and carried the fight
to Cleveland ..n the ground that he was no! a bona till- Republican. and
unlit for the office. This contention received strutiK support from
many quarters, as la seen by the unanimous decision of the caucus wait It
selected Mr. Sexton.
Regarding Mr. Sexton, there is no question about his party affilia
tlons. He is a Republican, first, last and always, and has always been
an ardent Worker for the parly caucus.
Mr. Sexton is entitled to recognition by his Party, and will make
good as committeeman. He is a man who is willing to accept adyice:
he is not arbitrary. In his official capacity Mr. Sexton will unquestion
ably be largely governed by hiB friends who made il possible for hint to
be national committeeman for Alaska. The selection w:is well made.
