DELEGATE DODGES
 ON JOHNSON BILL

Delegate James Wickersham tele- graphs from Seward that he did not introduce the bill postponing assess ments on mining claims in Alaska. It will be remembered that the tele- graphic dispatch published in the last issue of the Citizen, from Juneau, did not accuse MT. Wickersham of intro ducing the bill, but of being its au- thor. Representative Johnson, of Washington, was the man who intro duced the bill, but MT. Johnson is quoted as having said that although he introduced the bill, it was really prepared by Mir. Wickersham. Why doesn't Mir Wickersham deny having framed the bill, which would result, if passed, in a material saving for himself?-(Fairbanks Citizen.)
The Alaska daily empire., 1914-10-31
WILSON. LETTER
 CONGRESSMAN

The letter from President Wood row Wilson to Delegate James Wick ersham which appears on the posters about town was the acknowledgement of letter that the Delegate had writ ten to the President.
 Delegate Wickersham wrote the President a letter thanking him for the expressions cortcined in his mes- sage to Congress, delivered December ?, 1913, concerning Alaska. The Presi- dent expressed his appreciation of the letter.
 The first proposition set forth in the message praised by the Delegate was that Alaska should have a full Ter ritorial form of government" The Delegate has never made a move to have that suggestion cc.'ried further. Instead of that, he has introduced measures further to curtail the pow. CT of the government Alaska already has.

PREJUDICE CONTROLS
 JUDGE WICKERSHAM

There is one thing that the most sincere friends of Mir. Wickersham must admit if they ere absolutely truthful, and that is that he wilAal- low personal prcjudices to interfere with his official duties. It is well known that the rc&son Mir. Wicker sham never secured a bridge for Fair. banks was his dislike for Col. Rich- ardson, head of the Alaska road com misCion, who would have directed the building of the structure. If Mir. Wickcrsham is returned to Congress it can be expected that he will not go out of his way to aid the road commission to get the local petition for the bridge approved (Fairbanks Citizen.)

PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON, who saved Alaska
DELEGATE MADE
 CONFLICTING REPORTS

Whatever may have been Delegate James Wickershams attitude toward the Alaska railroad terminus at Haines. that the record is complete that he made three conflicting prom ises to the people of the Westward is evidenced by the following affidavit and comment printed in the Valdez Times, which is corroboratiye of statements of prominent people of Valdez, Seward and elsewhere at the Westward:
 That the statement of Delegate Wickersham, made in his address last Saturday night to the people of Cor dova, that he had taken a neutral stand regarding the coast terminus of the government railroad, is not borne out by the facts, ig evidenced by the following affidavit from Valdez:
 "Valdez, Alaska, Oct. 20, 1914. "'To Whom It May Concern:
 "I, Arthur Pinllus, manager of the Orpheum Theatre. Valdez, Alaska, hereby certify that the following two slides are at present exhibited in my movies show as paid advertising.

 Not only is the fact publicly adver tised that the Delegate has promised to work for Valdez as the terminus oi the government railroad, but in . speech at Seward he promised the people of that city that he would work for road from that port.

FIGURES
 INDICATE BUNNELL

A study of the election returns for the last Delegate election held in Aug ust. 1912. and for the members of the Territorial Legislature in November following, show that the total vote in August for the entire Territory was S.22O and iu November, but 7,S45, falling of; due no doubt to people go' inr outside for the winter, of 375. But a study of the totals for each di- vision will show that this loss was dis tributed between the Second and Fourth divisions for both the First and Third show an increase in the November vote over that cast in Au- gust. The Fourth division suffered the greatest loss dropping from $,4S9 in August to 2,SOO in November, while the First shows the greatest gain, in creasing from 1895 in August to l. 947 in November. The Second drop ped from 1,52S in August to 1,O96 in November, while the Third increased from 1858 in August to POOP in No vember. The Fourth lost 6S9, and the Second 432, while the First gained 522, the Third gained IA.
 In the August election Delegate Wickersham received his great plu: rality in the Fourth division, 1891 of the 3.4S9 cast. In the Third he re- ceived 75O of the 1858; in the Sec ond he received but 29O out of 1928; and in the First he received GOA of the 1895 cast.
 Gilmore, regular Republican, re- ceiyed 6S5 in his home division, the Second. out of the 1,52S cast; 539 of the 1858 cast in the Third; 911 in the Fourth and 191 in the First. Kraucz unas. Socialist, received 227 votes in his home division, the First; 271 in the Second; 192 in the Third, and 99S in the Fourth. Jennings received 336 in the First, PFC in the Second; 2S1 in the Third, and 2S1 in the Fourth. Martin Harrais received PSI votes all told
 Since both of the elections it is con ceded that there has been a falling of in population in the Fourth divis ion of considerable moment, which if true, will further decrease the No vember vote of that division where Delegate Wickersham's greates strength lies. It is also conceded that there has been a very consid erable increase in the population O. the First division where there has de veloptd a strong support for Charles E. Bunnell. The Second division wil perhaps show some decrease, but no of such proportions as that of th Fourth, while the Third will undoubt edly show considerable of an increase according to the estimates of thos in a position to knoY. It is concede that the Third division is strongly fo Bunnell.
 As an index to the probable increas in voting strength of the First divi'
 ion the vote of Juneau for Delegat in August 1912 was SSS for all cald dates, while the vote at the last cit T election in April of this year. reache
 a total of S92. New population | l Perseverance, Thane and suburbs

 vote in this vicinity.
