 SEWARD SPEECH

SEWARD, Oct. 1l-James Wicker sham, delegate to congress from Al aska and candidate for reelection, spoke to capacity house here last night in the interests of his candi- dacy His chief line of talk, how ever, was concerning Col Wilds P. Richardson, president of the Alaska Road commission. who mhe charac- terized as "a nice old fellow when sober, but it was most distressing to see the colonel going about with a crying jag" Delegate Wickersham, in his remarks, also showed up the intentions of Shackleford in the mat ter of endorsing him for delegate. He also made statementst to the eff feet that the Alaska Railroad bill was introduced as a non-partisan mea- sure, and blamed the Democratic ter ritorial committee and committeeman T. J. DOnahue, of Valdez, for trying to drag the road into politics by making the passage of the railroad bill party affair
 In showing up what he termed the "Shackleford ring" Delegate Wicker shaw said that Shackleford and his Republican associates had tried to force the nomination upon him at the hands of the Republican territorial convention and make him relinquish all rights to patronage in the event that there is Republican admins tration during the four years follow | ing March next "Shackleford want ed to be the real delegate he said | while my principal duty would be | to write my name when he directed and when he said please sign here

The Alaska citizen., 1916-10-16

Col. Richardson and the Alaska Road commission were in answer to the attack on the delegate published at Valdez by Col. Richardson and his friends some time ago in Valdez by Col. Richardson and his friends some little time ago in pamphlet form. and distributed throughout the ter ritory. In addition to personal re- marks concerning the head of the road commission, the delegate point ed out the few roads which have been built for the money expended and showed the loose business methods with which the road com mission handles business through the Northern Commercial company and other favored firms.
 The delegate also accused the road commission of building bridges where there were no roads. He said that the records of the road commission which were destroyed by the Valdez fire of a year or more ago, never will be eseen to show up in the shape that they should be.
 The delegate made the above state ment when he referred to the work done and money expended by the road commission. He said that with $500,000 from congress and $200,000 from the territory, the road com mission will have large amount of money with which to work next year. He ended his remarks by calling up, on the people to watch and see how much work is done for the amount of money there will be expended
