COL WcHARDsoNs REASONABLE REQUEST

That very reasonable request that Col Richardson mace last yh when he asked the people of Alaska. if they approved Of the efforts ot !he Alaska Board oi Road Commissioners to de.elop the Territory. send to Washington a Delegate to Con- gress who would help rather than reard hs efforts
 Col Richardson has done a great work in Alaska He has devoted the ten best years Of his life to build ing roads and aiding the people Of the Territory in their work of development It was Col Richard son who got the United States government started n the work of building roads here. He was fami jar with conditions here because he had spent sev- eral years in Alaska. first with his company and later builder Of army posts. He was among the first to note the handicap the people were working under on account Of the lack Of roads. When he began it a seasons work for a man to go from the coast Co the Yukon and take enough provisions with him to get through As a result of what he has done for the Territory a short time ago mail was delivered from Seattle to Fairbanks using his road from Valdez to Fairbanks for the overland part of the trip in seven days. Passengers are being car red across the country summer and winter by the several automobile stage lines that operate between Fairbanks and the coast
 Last year Col Richardson. acting through the War Department. got Congress to Quadruple the aver age amount Of the appropriation for Alaska roads. and he has the assurance Of the Department that next year the appropriation will be even greater. He also has secured the approval of the War Department for the Gastineau Channel bridge 1T he is properly supported year will witness the beginning of the work that important improvement
 Any one who has been over Alaska. and seen for himself the results of Col Richardsons work in the Territory admit that he ranks second to no one as benetactor Of the Northland
 All the roads we have in Alaska are Col Rich ardsons roads. Col. Richardson secured the estab lshment O, the Alaska Board Of Road Commission CTS he secured the appropriations that have been made and he built the roads Without them, Alaska would not be what she is today. Now that he has interested the War Department in further activities in Alaska road boulding. the welfare Of the North makes it the plain duty Of the people of the Territory to back him up in his efforts.

The Ruby RecOrd-Citizen asks why, if Delegate Wickersham got the larger appropriation for wagon roads from the last Congress, we did not get larger appropriations for roads earlier! Yes, why? Delegate Wickersham has been in Congress eight years, and has been drawing down salary Of $500 a year and mileage to work for the people of this Territory. The roads have been sorely needed for years Gov. Strong has asked for larger appropriations in every report that he has made-and there three of them. Col Richardson has urged larger appropriations. If Wickersham favored larger road appropriations why did he not begin to work when others began work ing? It is another case of grabbing the tatend of progressive movement.

Delegate to Congress for five months There has been ample opportunity for people to make charges if they have any that would stand the light To begin at this late day secretly to circulate rumors and literature attacking him in his own Division, after he had finished his campaign in 1t and been deprived the opportunity face his is not only cow ardy but it is dasardly To send false reports ou from here to remote corners of Alaska or make charges from mouth to mouth. is equally mean and cowardy.

They have been presented in such manner that they remain until this last week of the campaign as the proved evidence in the case.
 The Empire believes that the time has ended for blackguardng in Alaska politics It believes the people will vote this year the issues of the cam paign It believes they will elect Senator Charles A. sulzer to be Delegate to Congress, because he has presented the issues to the people of Alaska as they are and in a that they have never been presented before

MANY PREcEDENrs FOR sULzER.s COURSE

There are many Drecedents for the course Of Senator Suzer as candidate for Delegate in not resigning from the Territorial Legislature. Gen. James A. Garfield was elected President and did not resign as United States Senator. Gen U. s. Grant and Gen. w. S Hancock retained their places in the army while they were Presidential candidates Gov David B. Hill served out his term as Governor before going to Washington to become United States Sen ator, and his term as Senator began ten months be- fore he took the oath Of office.
 Many Senators and Representatives have served out their terms in State Legislatures after their terms as Federal lawmakers began. This law provides that the terms Of Territorial Senators shall be four years so that the people may have the benefit of having at least holdover Senator from each Division. 1T Senator Sulzer had resigned he would have de- prived the First Division Of that benefit There is absolutely conflict in holding both places Those who attempting to make campaign material out of Senator Sulzers in this either know better than they argue they crassly ignorant

He has been AIaskas most continuous shipper of copper ore He has had hundreds Of working for him first and last since he has been here.

playing ineligible men. In proof OF
the charge 1t was said that Dave
Fidler, fullback, who played with East
Des Moines IN 1915, was not eligible to
play with the Rapids aggregation. In
reply to this charge Cedar Rapids
claimed F'idler was resident OF that
city and entitled to play on the team.
Since the charge has been made OF
Elders ineligibility, u note in the
Cedar Rapids Gazette, of Saturday, Is
interesting and may be taken by those
protesting the play as proof that he
was not entitled to, play under the state
conference rules. The Gazette says:
Dave Fidler,s fullback on the 1916
Tiger eleven, was to return to, his home
in Des Moines at 1928 p. m. today, He
is making the move in answer to the
call Of financial gain. so he says, but
his friends believe he is just q bit
homesick for the streets of the. capital
city. Anyway he is going. and rhe To-
cal gridiron fans will mourn"
The Gazette concludes: sit may be
that Dave will come back stoH Cedar
Rapids next fall. He says he hopes
that he will and that it is quite prob
able that he may"
If, as the Gazette says, Fidler has re-
turned to his ''home,' then he is con-
lvicted by the Gazette. for, IL his home
is in Des Mofnes, he was not eligible to
play football at Cedar Rapids this year.
Fiddler did not report at Cedar Rapids
until practice work was well under
way according to the Gazette, and II
the paper is correct in it's statements
then Elders participation in games
won by Cedar Rapids had the effect OF
multiplying all Tiger victories.
