William L. Paul has been dis
credited by the organization and
that they put him up on the

The return of the organization
ejections simply puts in office
men who have been tried and
proven in the past and whose
policies have been followed by
William L. Paul. It is well to
remember that Mr. Paul dees
not dictate the policies of this
organization than does Alfred
Loman of Nome. As a member
of the organization Mr. Paul has
followed the wish of the major
ity of the membership as indi
cated in their conventions. This
year at his own request he was
not elected to any office. But
in the keeping of men tried and
true, will continue the policies of
the Brotherhood even as they
were directed in the past.

DELEGATE ELECT JAMES
WICKERSHAM

We are inclined to pat our
selves a bit on the back for hav
ing bent our little efforts to elect
James Wickersham as delegate
to Congress. He was elected.
That office more than any other,
the Tories of Alaska wished to

secure. True enough the elec
tion was only by a small margin
but small or large, he goes to
Congress as the next Delegate
irom Alaska.
For thirty or more years Mr.
Wiekersham has resided in Al
aska. In that tifne he has made
some very bitter enemies—and
he also has made some very loy
al friends. As a measure of the
man and as an indication of his
character it is well to point to
the fact that his bitterest en
emies have persistently fought
every measure of Territori
al control of matters strictly Al
askan; and then the measure of
the men who fought him indi
cated by the political and mone
tary rewards which was theirs
for their opposition to him.
He goes to Congress with foul
terms of congressional experi
ence back of him. He goes with
an understanding of the prob
lems which confront the terri
tory and with his mind made
up to secure the right solution of
those problems for the benefit of
the Territory.
In the past ten years the ef
forts of the Delegate in Congress
from Alaska have been partially
negated by the opposition of
“die-hard” politicians who re
fused to give support to any
measure for the benefit of the
Territory on the ground that any
beneficial legislation would add
to the strength of the Delegate.
