4 COMEDY OF ERROR WITH 4 TRAGEDY
 OF CONSEQUENCE

The withdrawal of both Gale and Wickersham from the race for tb0 deIegatsship so closely following one upon the other certainly com;s as thunder from c'ear sky upon the po- litical situation It is pretty safe o say chat neither knew the other con- templsted taking this step and that had they known it both would have been in the field s,ill-at least tha, Wicker sham would. Gale gives as bis reason bis wife's illness and this probably may have been sufficient under any cireum. stances, since he has been jeOpar'izing his chances Of election from thi, cause since the adjournment Of congress by remaining out of communication with his friends e. a time when they greatly desired bis presence and assistance iu lhe campaign.
 That he was 10 earnest, however, when he accepted clue republican nom- nation and intended to put forth bis best efforts for recollection there cannot be doubt and the action oI Judge Wick ersham in entering the field to divide the vote with him may have influenced his action at this time.
 co the other hand had Judge Wicker sham known that Gale was to step aside it is uot likely he would himself have

done so, anI 1t is not beyound the bounds Of possibility that when he hears fit he will again change his mind. Judge Wickersham's friends importun- ed bin to eu CT the fight for the repub- lie nomination and had he done so he would almost certainly have been able 10 win over all competitors at Ketchi- kan.
 But he declared at that time pos tive ly that he was not a candidate After the convention had done it's work, the candidates had announced their accept ance and the leaders and newspapers had aligned themselves he seems to have reconsidsred his determination, succumbed to the solicitation of fir ends aud announced his candidacy. That was less than two weeks ago. His aD- nouncement took the whole district by surprise and he has not, of course, re- caived anything like the enthusiastic assurances that he probably had reason to expect from his pre-convention promises of support, It is no doubt this fact that ha, influenced him in re- versiug in s, sbor. time the decision which he took so long to form,
 Itis all very unfortunate combina- tion of circumstances, to say the least Of 1t. wickersham occupies peculiar place ln the affairs of Alaska. He has mauy strong friends, hold upon the good will of a large proportion of the population in all the settlements of the district. It is reasonably certain that with Gale cut Of the running he could win against the field Gale could have done tay sane w-.h WicGersham out of it even without coming to the district that,is having so good reason for stay ing away as a sick wife to look after.
