NEWS OF VALDEZ
 O0PED AT JUNEAU
Pipe Dreamer On Dispatch Paints Lurid Picture of Desperate
 Politics Hero.

Here is a dope story worth read ing, printed in the Juneau Dispatch as telegraph news from Valdez:
 VALDEZ, Oct. 16.-Last Thursday night was the greatest political night in the history of Valdez. Not since the mass meeting demanding justice following the Keystone riots was there such an outpouring of people as that attending the second Wicker sham meeting tonight.
 Wednesday Delegate Wickersham left here in a launch for Cordova. He had scarcely cleared the harbor limit when the Daily Prospector is- sued an edition savagely attacking the departing delegate. But the ele- ments proved false to the newspaper supporters and the launch was forced to return a few hours later owing to bad weather, and immediately the supporters of Wickersham, assisted by many other residents disgusted at the unwarranted attack on Wick ersham, arranged for hall for last night, and in fighting trim the Alas ka Liberator tore into Mayor Ritchie and his paper The address of the delegate was interrupted time and time again by cheers as he persistent ly reviewed in no uncertain terms the political history of the newspaper and it's supporters. The Keystone shooting was rehashed in its gory details, the Alaska Syndicate held re. sponsible for the shooting and the newspaper editor branded as traitor to the community.
 Several attempts were made to in- terrupt the speaker but in each in- stance the audience arose as one man demanding that the delegate continue to answer the cowardly attack of the newspaper.
 Delegate Wickersham has received many wires from Fairbanks support CTS that his presence to insure a sweeping victory in the Tanana is not essential, and 1t is not certain he will go inside or return to finish the cam. paign in the First division.
 Delegate Wickersham denied en- phatically any connection with the Johnson mine assessmnt bill.
 Delegate Wickersham unmercifully scored the Alaska road commission for attempting to defeat the railroad bill.

that this moving word picture Is fairly accurate except in the following min or particulars:
 1. The PrOspector containing an ac- count of Judge Wickersham's first speech and reprinting some of his let ters and messages to Steve Birch in 1908 was printed in the first issue fol- lowing the speech and before he left town.
 2. The Prospector is not Mayor Ritchie's paper. He has not had con. trol of it nor been concerned in it's editorial management since Septem- Der, 191O He was in Seward during all the time Judge Wickersham was in Valdez. The Alaska Liberator" did not tear into" the mayor. nor mention. his name. possibly for the reason that he and the mayor are on good terms personally. although they split politically two years ago on the bull moose issue.
 3. The delegate did not attack the history of the Prospector during the years when a real anti-Guggenheim fight was on, in 190S.'0s.'10. It would have been rather awkward to do SO. because in those years the Prospotor was a pronounced supporter of Judge Wickersham. and its support was high. ly appreciated by him, as letters over his signature and still in existence. but never published. abundantly at. test. Neither did that support ever cost Judge Wickersham a smooth quarter, nor did the editor ever ask him for a personal favor, as Judge Wickersham will no doubt freely ad- mit In those days some men were running Guggenheim organs for mon. ey, who are now running "dinky'' Wickersham papers for-what? II 4. Nobody tried to interrupt the delegates speech and no riots were threatened. II 5. Judge Wickersham did deny all connection with the Johnson mine assessment bill, but did not comply with the Prospector's challenge that he read Congressman Johnsons tele- gram to him holding him responsi. ble for the bill.
 6. Judge Wickersham did attack the road commission for charging that 1t had opposed the railroad bill, but offered no proof excpt his own word. The head of the road commission Is on record in writing in favor of the railroad bill.
 Barring these little slips the Dis patch dope" is approximately correct in slip-shod way.

no OF his strongest political en-.
'nies and voted for by the entire
state senate. many of whom are
violently opposed to Bilbo politi-
sally, or ut least have been. Yet
this resolution commends him for
fidelity to duty, fairness, ability,
courtesy, and all those high quail
tiles that go to make up a good
man, not felon; and this was
voiced in a similar resolution
likewise begun by these same
men in 1912. And this is the
man Gov. Brewer would punish ;
this is the man that Gov. Brewer
hates. Why?
just last week it leaked out
that Coz Vardaman would no
longer stand for the rumor that
he and Brewer were friends;
Governor Vardaman stated that
they had never been but on the
other hand that he ard Bilbo had
always been friends and that
whenever Brewer tried TO leave
the impression that he, Brewer
and Nardaman were in a combine
to defeat Bilbo for Governor, that
this whole thing was a fabric a.
ton and a falsehood aud so that's
the reason-Brewer is one of the
old machine, ''secret caucus
gang; the gang" that has heap
ed mole filth upon the state OF
Mississippi than all other factions
in its history. In the Hobbs trial,
altho Warren County was re-
garded as an enemy to Hobbs
and Bilbo, and for this reason
mainly the trial was set there,
yet on that trial the jury refu sed
.FLATLY to believe either the Cow
'ernor or his detectives. Why?
Refused to believe the Governor
of Mississippi! Think of thatl
But still he persecutes. He went
to Vicksburg, employed his own
lawyers; 1t was at Gov. Brewers
suggestion that the first grand
jury was dismissed-they would
not indict Bilbo; then a jury was
selected Oy Gov. Brewer and his
hired lawyers. Think of thati
This jury indited Hobbs and Bill
DO. The judge did all he could
to make the jury convict Hobbs;
he gave them instructions COM
them to do so--an I'M
heard of legal proposition. Yet.
the jury saw through it all; they
saw the infamy of the Governor
Of a gre at state. They acquittt-
ed Hobbs; they put themselves
on record as refusing to believe
4 word our Governor said. Is
not the old "secret caucus" gang

5 one of them; he has recently |
been found out. The knowing |

present farce at Nicskburg where I

IN the bench, the old one having
resigned at the last moment, foe
what purpose no one knows, will
result in complete exoneration
1f Bilbo, and that Gov. Brewer

the greatest hypocrit this state
has ever known. Old Adelbert
