From the Daily Alaskan Cordova, December 15 1917
THE GHOST THAT WILL NOT DOWN,

Attorney Brandeis that higprced legal chaatan and
Chairman Graham of the Congressional Committee have fully
decided to drop the Controller Bay matter The Republican
members of the committee however insist that full and
complete investigation be made in justice to the who have
been unfairly charged that in completing their vnd
cation the responsibility for the attempted astardy work
should be placed where it belongs
How unfair, how UNJUST that these much Wanted
gressOna refeners should dip into the surface of the mre
only to discover that there political capital be made
out of this gigantic asco and then precpate retreat lest
justice should be done the assaed and the Of all fair
minded be directed against the persons responsible for
the most dasardy attempt to besmrc the characters of in
nocent and honest that has been attempted in
years
How unreasonable for these great investigators these
mighty whose every action, uerance and loud mouted
bray from the grand stand of the National Capitol is repeated
and magnified by the great gatheres of the country
and spread before the readers of the world base their
whole statement upon alseood originating in the brains of
malicious politicians and fake promoters. And then when
these consprator shown up and their records published
great drop the poker and have the efoney
to state to the people of the United States that their change
attitude is due to the administrations policy.
While the Daily Alaskan is far from the seat Of govern
ment to keep pretty close touch with events
and at this distance take the liberty of calling the
attention of Messr Brandies Graham, ct AL these pertinent
facts: -...
'The s'Dick Dck' letter has been shown up as base
conspiracy evolved by enemies of Alaska and the national a
mnistraon, promulgated through John E. Latrop the
dscredited and paid newspaper correspondents through
Dick Ryan, former gentleman of fortune of Alaska and of
recent years promoter trying sell stock in New York
Washington and foreign Cities and through the misguided
and former prejudiced delegate from Alaska.
That the of the United States and many prominent
people direct have been supplied by the Daily Alaskan with
the full record and action in these matters well the past
record of the men directly involved.
That the Daily Alaskan has answered editorials in the
Outlook Golfers Hampton and other muck raking journals
which articles evidently inspired paid for and
of these great publications have dared back
Is it not then shame that Brandeis and Graham be
allowed to drop the Controller Bay investigations In Alaska
and Seattle there waiting and ready be sb
poenaed to Washington to tell what they know of Contro
Bay of Dick Ryan and Of Delegate Wickersham while in
Washington New York and Philadelphia there are as many
anxious the stand and tell what they know of
g. Latrop We charitably pass the actions the
woman involved in the affair

AS the days go and political developments come toll
light in Alaska there promises be an interesting mixup
