My Dear Mir. Thane.


 This letter is written to you in en- tire frankness and confidence. Your reply will be held strictly cOnfdenti- al also. 1 have made every effort in my power to secure proper organi- zation of the Republican party in AL aska so that We might not only elect the Delegate but the Republican mem bers of the Legislature as well. It seems to me the situation is such to urge all members of the party to lay aside personal grief and join hands that Alaska may stand square with the Administration of Hughes and Fairbanks after the 4th of next March.
 shall support the Republican Ma tional ticket as l have always done, except in the single instance of four years ago. When Mir. Roosevelt was candidate I supported him. l send you herewith a copy of the letters and telcgr9ms which passed between me and those in charge of the Seward Convention insofar as the nomination for Delegate is concerned. From this correspondence you will discover that if had agreed to surrender my free dom as the representative of the peo- pie c' Alaska in the matter of patron age 1 would have teen nominatcd there. did not do that and in my refusal was and now am fully sup ported by the Congressional Repubh- ,an Committee, to whom all the cor respondence and the facts were sub mitted.
 The question which confronts me now is: what will you and my other good friends in Juneau do in the mat ter of assisting me to secure proper organization of the Republican party through the Divisional Convention. Will you support me as a candidate for Delegate with earnestness,-or at all? Would my nomination in the Di- .;sional Convention in the First Di- vision be agreeable to you and would 1t p've strength to the organization and assist in electing Republican members to the Legislature? If l can feel assured that I can have a fair support around Juneau feel sure of reelection. Will you write me what the situation is and what can depend upon in the First Division.
 Your reply will be held strictly con Adential.
 Very truly yours,
 (signed) JAMES WICKERSHAM"

member and Mir. Jones for the time being was Acting Secretary of the In- terior.
 After Mir. Wickersham made his speech at Juneau in which he also claims that he had secured the rail road legislation and that Senator Chamberlain had introduced the bill in the Senate, that Wickersham had pre- sented to him, John w. Troy of Ju- neau, wired Senator Chamberlain 2l- ative to the matter and received the following reply:
 Portland, Oregon,
 September 20, 1916. John w. Troy,
 Juneau, Alaska.
 Alaska Railroad Bill my bill. Pass ed Senate first. It is the law under which the railroad in Alaska is be. ing constructed 1t was not introduced by me at the request of WickershaA ncr written by him, and but fo, the active support of President Wilson and the administration it would not Lave passed at all.
 (signed) Geo. E. Chamberlain"
 Judge Wickersham devoted con siderable portion of his speech to an attack upon myself and l am free to confess that l am at loss to know why this was done, not that it makes the slightest difference to me, but l am certainly not an issue in this campaign as I am not a candidate for any office, either elective or ap- pointive. But he seeks through me to tie the Democratic party to the Guggenheims, the Fish Corporation, the Transportation Companies and to Shackleford, whom 1 believe is gener- ally recognized as being the leader of the Republican party of Alaska There is no alliance, secret or other wise, between the Democratic party and the Shacklefod wing of the Re publican party of Alaska. There iS no alliance, secret or otherwise, be- tween the Democratic party and the Guggenheims, the Fish Corporations pr the Transportation Companies and ?either of these companies have con tributed one cent towards defraying the expenses of the Democratic party campaign for this year. As an indi- vidual am in no manner connected with any transportation company Ol

Our firm at this time are attorneys for the plaintiff in personal injury ,ase in which the Copper River X Northwestern Railway Company is defendant, the amount sued for being $lO,OOO.OO.
 Having put the statement or my position and that of the Democratic party clearly before you let us no" consider Judge Wickersham's connec' tioh with those "malefactors of great wealth." On June 20, 1916, Judge Wickersham wrote Bart l.. Thane, of the Gastineau Mining Co.,, the following letter:
