 Whitehorse Star: The result of the Alaska congressional election and Wickershams majority of upward one thousand votes is gratifying to all who have known "Jim" Wickersham for 20 years as has the editor of the Star. Wickersham is good fellow and we congratulate him. Corson is good fellow and we extend to him our distin- guished commiseration. Wickersham's election was not due to his almighty" popularity. Corson's defeat was not due to his unpopuTarity. He was not unpopular. His defeat was due to the fact that he was the candidate of Gov. Hoggatt and undoubtedly Hoggatt is the most unpopular man in Alaska. He is a misfit of the rankest kind and Cor sons defeat and Wickersham's election constitute direct slap in the face of Hoggatt from the free-born voters of Alaska.
