Outsiders Bulling fn.
Our spier, e ic friend down
the street, he of the “Joke”
which he calls an “indepen
dent Socialist paper has had
another fit, and while gripped
in its paroxisms, saw some
thing again This time it
was nothing less than the
terribly ominous Brooks
Lewis machine counting Me
Cabe out of the delegate no
mination and -counting
Br ooks in. But let cur erst
while companion in arms con
tain his soul - and hysteria—
in peace, take a dyspepsia
tablet andaseidlitz powder;
then he wont see so much.
The Socialists of Alaska are
going to run their own af
fairs undeterred by and with
out reference to these “rank
outsiders” who persist in but
ting in where they have no
business. Dan McCabe, un
besmirched by the stain of
treachery to his party or his
class, and not looking- for a
hand-out from old party pol
iticians, accepts die verdict
of the Alaska Socialists, and
will be found 'his fall fight
ing for the election of John
M. Brooks.
Democratic Primary.
Democrats! Next Tues
day, July 7 , tide Erwin
McGowan machine primaries
will be held. Walk up, sign
the pledge and make your
selves solid, otherwise those
of you who are already hold
ing down a job may lose it,
and those who are yet boil
ing to land will be surely left
to drift. Others may lose the j
Federal advertising and all |
chance of getting outside as
escort to some consignment
of Uncle Sam’s unfortunates.
Be on hand early and appear
enthusiastic.

Delegate Wickersham’s versa
tility is well known in this coun
try but we never • know before j
that he was a humorist. He says
in the statement appended to his
platform that he has not changed
that it is the administra ion thal
has changed and come to him—
that the mountain came to Maho
met. If there ever was a question
of any moment in Alaska Home
Rule, Railroad, or any other—
that Jim Wickershum has not
been on as many sides of as there
were sides, we should like to
know what it is. He has even
been on two sides of the Guggen
heim question one when he was
looking for,a job with them and
another when they turned him
down.
The dispatch from Juneau prin
ted in the Times, saying that a
1 iw and order league had been
formed there to protect the citi
zens, especially the workingmen
from those in authority, is prob
bab'y a j kc. Ct'.ierwlso Juneau
is populated by a very different
lot of “law and order" people
from any we ever heard of be
fore If workingmen everrecciv
ed any promotion anyw' ere fr m
those in “authority" outside
their o wn class, we either never
heard of it or have forgotten it.

We have the same chief of po
Tce that We had laat J'ear but
since we have no flying machine
or other unusual event that is
likely to draw the whole crowd to
one spot it will probably be safe
enough for deaf men and others j
to come to town on the Fourth
and help us celebrate.

Statement By Canvassing Board.
It seems that a paper publish
ed every little while here in Fair
banks calling itself the “Alaska
Socialist has seen fit to distort
and garble the returns of the re r
eren dum on the candidate for
the office of delegate to Congress.
For the benefit cf these concern
ed, tIre following statement is
made:
Before c-ny of the envelopes
containing the ballots were open
ed, Mrs. Lewis stated that she
had received a letter f rom a f r
eign speaking organization in
which the vote for Delegate and
Territorial Secre'ary had been
sent on one ballot and would the
committee allow that the vote
shou'd be counted? Both mem
bers of the canvassing beard
readily assented that th ey should
be counted, and agreed to this
BEFORE ever the enve’opes con
taining the ball ns-were opened.
We have every reason to be
lieve tha" these votes were c st
in go''d faith and that they are
the expression of the will of the
Finnish comrades in Juneau who
reported the same through their
organizer.
What we want is a correct ex.
prcssion of the will of the mem.
bershsp of Alaska as to who
shall he '.he candidate and not to
stickle for a mere technicality
that m»y defeat the will of the
majority.
We would recommend that par.
ty members ns well as the gene,
ral public ignore the cri deisms
and comments of Hr. Knowles
who is an expelled and discredit
ed member of the Socialist party
and who has no more right to
mix up with the Socialist party
organization affairs than any pol
itician of the Republican or Dem
ccrafic parties.
