TIE ADMINISTRATION

A great many progressive republicans and independents and great many socialists, not members of their organ ization, voted for Woodrow Wilson at the last presidential election. They be- lieved in Mr. Wilson and in MT. Bryan and in what they stood for. The success of MT. Wilson at the polls was largely due to these outside votes.
 When MT. Wilson in his inaugural address called upon all of the good cit izens of the country to give him support and God helping me. I will not fail them" these outside voters still believ- ed in him.
 When MT. Wilson departed from the Capitol building to the White House where lie stated he would turn over the appointments to the department heads and their chiefs from which no appeal would be had or listened to By that word he opened the door of the govern ment to the spoilsnan, grafters and vultures that follow and infest all part ies. They are they are the Murphys and Crokers, the Considines and CIancys 1n the states and the McGowans and Er- wins here The idealized Wilson admin istration has become the ordinary crook ed Democratic administration to which hereafter the independent socialist and the progressive workingman will look i'll vain for relief

give you their ideas of the formidable obstacles which they cannot overcome when they encounter the Northern Com mercial Company and others when re- presented by Tom McGowan. Some subtle influence works against them. This then is where the lawyers, as a class are deficient They do not observe the ethics of their profession. They are deficient in fidelity to their clients and they violate their oaths. This is the pre- vailing opinion among the laymen.
 From the fact that Fairbanks is prac- tically isolated from the world this frailty of the profession may be to some extent a natural drift from the usual standards.
 The lawyers have many things in common and would gravitate naturally together socially, then perhaps for pro- lection and eventually for aggression. They have done 50. For several years they and the larger interests have been chiefly responsible for casting corrupt ing influence obout the courts and the federal officials. It requires a strong nature to withstand this influence and few have been able to do so. When a man comes here wh 0 is strong and in- dependent they fear him, then they op- pose him. MT. Crossley is the last ex- ample. For years the lawyers or many ot them have attempted to gain foot hold for their schemes in the U. $. Dis tr1ct Attorneys office but without sue cess. They have petitioned tor his rel moval and have joined every attempt

The only opposing force that the N. C.-Guggenhe1m influences have had to contend with IS James Wickersham. When he incurred the dispIeasure of the beast it started Ill to ruin him. It took Henry Roden, whom the Judge had, for the purpose of teaching him law, taken into his office, and gave him a few crumbs, fattered hiri and made him believe that they could not get a. long without him, then when they fin ished with him flung him aside. They succeeded, however i'll breaking up the law firm ot which Wickersham was q member Terrible is the power of the beast It takes a strong man to with stand it. Wickersham is a strong man.

THE LAWYERS

This is difficult subject for one who is not of the profession to properly dis cuss. Undoubtedly the lawyers of Far banks are capable. They are aggressive and determined, and frsm their stand point professional. But is their stand point correct and are they professional? !? They apparently regard the profession of law as business i'll which they are engaged for the purpose of making money only Examination ot the subject of the duties of lawyer to his clients and his profession we encountered in the work at our command the word ETHICS aud after having read the sev- eral pages under that heading we gath cred that a strict observance of the eth ics of the profession requires lawyer to be faithful to the court, faithful to clients, faithful to truth and honor, and faithful to his oath of office. How many lawyers ill Fairbanks observe these re- quirements? Ask the people who are compelled to go into court. Enquire of the miner who works for wages. They will tell you their experience with law yers in Alaska. Of the sacrifice of the1r rights because of the influence of those of whom they seek recovery. They will

Knowing of McGowans prev ous attempts in that line a number of husky supporters of the Delegate went out with him to prevent anything of the kind The meeting was not disturbed. McGowan however was there a d<ex- perienced the modification of hea4ing himself referred to in a way he will long remember.
 Alter Judge Wickersham had gwen history of his work in Congress and had stated the nature of the sinister infu- ences he was called upon to combat in the White Pass and Northern Commer- cial companies, their merger, their ex- cessive rates, their representatives in Alaska, he called attention to tn e fact that at present these interests controlled three of the Territorial Senators and re- quired but one more to block any reme- dial legislation.
 They now have taken possession of the local Democratic organization, :" said the Judge, land have placed on the Democratic ticket for Territorialseu- ator their own crooked legged lawyer and F. W. Griffin, a corporation en- ployee for member of the legislature. 7" The Judge also asked his audience how they could expect him to continue his good work in Congress if they elected this crooked legged lawyer and Criff- in to the local legislature to undo his work. They won't work for you but for those who employ them," said Wickersham.
 This is not the first time Tom McGow- all has attempted to break up meetings When the women depositors of the w A. Bank held q meeting at the Auditor iun III this city, McGowan went to the ticket office in tn e auditorium and placed his ugly mug in the ticket win dow which faces the entrance and at tempted to stare the ladies out ot count enance as they came into the building He had his plug-uglies witA him there and it is a fact that they did deter a number of timid ladies from entering the building. Many of the ladies and their husbands were under obligation to the NJ C. co. and McGowans threat ening stare was too much for them.

For the reason he has been clean they have failed until the Wilson administration with its pretended lofty ideals of pollt- ical purity complied with the demands of the bar of Fairbanks behind which are the McGowans, Erwins and others.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Tn the South where it has been i'll un disputed power the Democratic party has stood for Peonage, child slavery and all that that implies. Tn the North it has been the party of the public service corporations. It has maintained itself in power in cities like Chicago, New York, St. Louis, and other large centers of population, by an open alliance with the red light district and the slum.
 The names of Roger Sullivan, who holds the Democratic party of Illinois i'll the hollow of his hand, Tom Taggert who controls the Democracy of Indiana, and Charles Murphy, who performs the same function in New York, have be- come bywords for all that is crooked and corrupt in American politics.
 Locally, the Democratic party is the party of the Northern Commercial Co. Its officer are the employees and tools of the company. It tries to add numer- ical strength to itself by recruiting the hoatsam and jetsam by promises of sin ecures when it has attained power.
 It is in business manifestIy to advance the interests of the corporation. and ac- cording to its official organ, The Alaska Citizen, Spo1lahon.

Chicago Daily News:-Despite the
widespread popular prejudice against
old style political bosses. Tom Tag
CART remains in undisputed control Of
the democratic party in Indiana. Ac-
cording to news dispatches from In
dianapolis, Taggart and his supporters
were victorious on Monday in the
district conventions throughout the
state. Every man elected to a chair
manship was Taggart sympathizer.
Efforts of groups of democrats, fight
ing under the banner Of Wilson and
Bryan were unavailing against the
Taggart machine.
The democratic party cannot be per-
manently successful under the leader
ship OF bosses of the Taggart type.
Mondays battle in Indiana was prim-
arily for control of the party organi-
cation. In that kind of battle the old
style leaders are more often success
full than in other kinds. It does not
necessarily follow that organization
control means the power to dictate
nominations, especially in states hav-
ing direct primaries. But organiza-
ton control by the Taggart type OF
leader is serious handicap to any
party.
President Wilson has helped indi-
rectly to curb the power of one dan
gerous boss-Murphy of Tammany. In
allowing his chief appointee in New
York City-John Purroy Mitchell, at
the time collector of the port Of New
York-to run for mayor i'll opposition
to the Murphy candidate, who was the
democratic nominee, the national lead
er of. the democratic party did much
to check the growing power of Muir
ply. His example should be followed
by progressive democrats throughout
the country whenever the question OF
party leadership involves fight on
spoilsmen.
In many states contests are in pro-
gress between the progressive elements
of the democratic party on the one
side and the old style spoils leaders
on the other. Upon the outcome OF
these contests depends the future of
the democratic party.
