Co. Mir. Jackling is also a large stockholder and reputed to have the controlling interest in the Pacific AL aska Navigation Co.,, which company operates what is known as the "Ad- miral Line" of boats. So much for one transportation company.
 Let us now see about the other transportation company. At the re- cent Republican Divisional Convention of the Third Division, held at Val dez on the 17th day of July, 1916, Mir. George C.. Hazelet who is generally recognized as the Guggenheim politi- cal representative of the Third Di- vision secured in that Convention the nomination of Mir. Wickersham for Delegate to Congress as a candidate of the Republican party of the Third Judicial Division. The aggregation of wealth commonly known as the Guggenheims own the Kennecott Mine, the Copper River & Northwest ern Railway Co.,, and the Alaska Steamship Company. Does it seem possible that Mir. Hazelet as the poi- tical representative of the Third Di- vision of these immense interests would secure the nomination of man who was sincerely opposing them? Does it not appear more reasonable that the alleged antagonism of Judge Wickersham's to those interests is merely a bluff for the purposes Of get ting the vote of the minimizing peo- pie. > My information is that Mir Hazclet has been ever since the Con vention which nominated Mir Wick ersham and now is sincerely and earn estly working for the elect of Mr. Wickersham.
 Mir. Wickersham devoted a great portion of his recent speech at Valdez to stating what he had done in the way of securing legislation while in Congress and named a number of laws he had passed but he failed to mention one very important law which he had passed on July IS, 1914, which reIiev- ed the Copper River & Northwestern Railway with other railway companies in Alaska from paying the license tax heretofore imposed of SlOOO0 per annum per mile. fail to find where Mr. Wickersham has ever used his great talents to relieve the restaurant keeper, hotel keeper, cigar store, boarding house, etc., from this feder- al license tax, but he seems to have been moved by a great sympathy for the poor downtrodden Guggenheims struggling along with their Copper River & Northwestern Railway Co., hence he secured the passage of the bill which relieved them from paying s1OO.OO per annum per mile tax on their railroad

 Democratic National Committeeman.

TO THE VOTERS OF ALASKA

I feel it my duty as Democratic National Committeeman for Alaska to reply to a few of the untrutbful and inconsistent statements made by Judge Wickersham in his speech at Valdez on the evening of the l4th day of October, 1916.
 Judge Wickersham claimed in Se- attle, Ketchikan, Juneau and other places that he had secured the legis- lation which resulted in the govern ment constructed railroad in Alaska. Knowing this to be an untruthful statement I deemed it my duty to ascertain the facts regarding the Ma tional legislation which authorized the construction of a government owned railroad in Alaska. 1 therefore on August 10th, 1916, wired Secretary Lane to send me a history of the AL aska Railroad legislation in Congress. On August 18th, 1916, in response to this wire l received the following:
 Washington, D, G.
 August 10th, 1916. T. J. Donohoe,
 Valdez, Alaska
 Representatives Flood and William Sulzer introduced bills to create A. aska Railway Commission and Senator Simmons a resolution to ascertain cost of transporting equipment from Panama in Sixty Second Congress. House bill ten four eighteen as or ginally introduced by Wickersham providing for legislative assembly did not contain provision for first Alaska Railroad Commission. Provision was inserted by Senatorial Committee. Senate Bill forty-eight was introduc- ed by Senator Chamberlain first ses- sion sixty third Congress April seventh, nineteen hundred thirteen who made speech occupying forty one pages Congressional Record. Wicker sham introduced bill in House. Sen ate Bill Chamberlain BilD was sub stituted for House Bill (Wickersham's BnD and passed the HuOse as amend ed February, nineteen hundred four teen, approved by President Wilson March twelfth, nineteen hundred four teen. Railway project and bill had active and continued support of Presi- dent Wilson and Secretary Lane. (Signed) JONES, Acting Secretary"
 Wickersham claims that this reply was compiled by some department clerk and not authorized by Secretary Lane. You will note that my tele- gram was directed to Secretary Lane. At the time this telegram reached Washington Secretary Lane was un- doubtedly engaged on the Mexican Peace Commission of which he is a

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 ,el- ative to the matter and received the following reply:
 "Portland, Oregon,

 Alaska Railroad Bill my bill. Pass ed Senate first. It is the law under which the railroad in Alaska is be- ing constructed. It was not introduced by me at the request of Wickersham nor written by hin, and but for the active support of President Wilson and the administration it would not have passed at all.
 (signed) Geo. F. Chamberlain"
 Judge Wickersham devoted con siderable portion of his speech to an attack upon myself and 1 am free to confess that I 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 l am not 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 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 Shackleford 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 OF the Transportation Companies and neither of these companies have con tributed one cent towards defraying the expenses of the Democratic party campaign for this year. As an indi- vidual I am in no manner connected with any transportation company, or with the Guggenheims or with the Fishing Corporations other than my firm defended a recent case of the ;ioverr,nent aga;n,t the Alaska Pa k ers As-oc oc'ation the present term of the District Court in the Third Di- vision for which we received a S5OO.OO fee. | have not been employed by the Guggenheim interests since 1908. Our firm at this time are attorneys for the plaintiff in a personal injury ease in which the Copper River x Northwestern Railway Company IS defendant, the amount sued for being $1O,OOO.OO.
 Having put the statement of my position and that of the Democratic party clearly before you let us now consider Judge Wickersham's connec- tion with those "malefactOrs of great wealth." On June 20, 1916, Judge Wickersham wrote Bart L.. Thane, of the Gastineau Mining Co.,, the following letter:

Roosevelt was candidate I supported him. l send you herewith a copy of the letters and telcgroms which passed between me and those in charge of the Seward Convention insofar as the nomination for Delegate is concerned.

 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- v;sional Convention in the First Di- vision be agreeable to you and would 1t give strength to the organization and assist in electing Republican members to the Legislature? If l can feel assured that I can have 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 com fdential.

 Mir. Wickersham on the same day wrote an identical letter to P. F. Bradley who controls the great Tread we'll corporations. You will note from Judge Wickersham's letter to Mir. Thane his longing to cooperate with Mir. Thane. Mir. Thane is manager of the Gastineau mine and Mr. D. C. Jackling is the president and control limo factor of the GaStineau Mining

The White plaque War.
From the Minneapolis journal


In the midst of the worlds madness,
when the skill and brains of nations are
modified to devise new way of ending
human life, there comes a hopeful note
of a 12-year-old war that has for its aim
the easing OF humanity's woes. 1t is the
white plague war that became a national
movement in the United States in 1904.
Behind the list of dull figures just is
sued by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis are
tales of heroism and devotion not out-
ranked By those in any military ANIMAL.
In ~ years the agencies opposing tu-
b~erculosis have increased 900 per cept in
North America. More than 1900 COM
mands are now enlisted in the war that
never ends. The list includes 557 sana-
toria and hospitals. 1873 tuberculosis
boarding houses, 80 hospitals for the in
sane and 35 penal institutions making
special provision for tuberculosis. 455
dispensaries. 80 open air schools and
1924 antituberculosis associations and
committees. To these must be added 1853
Canadian institutions and organizations.
making Il total of 3.0S7.
Wien the white plague wal became
national in character, the association
found 1873 poorly equipped and struggling
little armies in the field. They were
linked together in one grand army and
a combined offensive started. 1t has
rolled on and on since, turning a flank
here, capturing a redoubt there and
storming an entrenchment in another
quarter. In 1908 this grand army had
G49 divisions and in 1911 it had LAO.

PUBLIC EXPENSES.

In the political game the outs
IRE always accusing the ms of ex-
travagance and waste of the public
funds. But it never seems to matter
which party is in power the appropri-
ations continue to increase from year
t.. year and the rate of taxation is
rarely if ever lowered.
When the appropriations by single
congress first reached the billion dol
lar mark the public was shocked, but
l. was told that this was a billion
dollar country. Now that tile budget
of the present congress is approach
ing two billion dollars the PEOPLE are
due to receive another jolt.
promise of a reduction in expen-
eitures and a consequent lowering of
taxes always makes good campaign
material. regardless of the fact that
they never materialize. The voters
never seem to lose hope. Or is it that
the expenditure of immense sums of
money is all right provided ones own
political party does it?
