FROSTY RECEPTION GIVEN TO DELEGATE WICKERSHAM
 AT TERRITORIAL CAPITAL

JUNEAU, Alaska, Sept. 23.-The Wick ersham meeting held here last night was largely attended but there was absolutely no enthusiasm for the Independent" cand- date. for congressional delegate. The speech of the candidate was mass of self glorifcation, and he utterly failed to yleet a single one of the many points made against him. The applause which greeted his remarks was scattering, and at no time included lG per cent of the audience. In effect he repudiated Attorney John Rust gard, saying that cxMayor Valentine was his campaign manager.
 That Wickersham is "groggy and going fast" is generally conceded. Wickersham ties admit in conversation that the First di- vision will go against them by large ma jority

 While observed the civil service law wherever it was in force felt myself free aid in rewardng deserving Democrats wherever it could be done without detrment to the service My regret is that I able to reward so few of the multitude who deserving by their capa bhty and by their fitness for the work to be done
 The deserving Democrat is not to be desplsed lie IS as much entitled to recognition deserving Repub lcan"
 When he was candidate for governor Mir Hughes received the support of the railroads of New York and he generously repaid the debt by vetoing the 2cent passenger rate bill He did describe that shameful

A plea for support Ot Danlel Webster, Independent nominee for the legislature in the Fourth division, is as follows: 'Wiseman, Alaska, Aug. 28, 1916. Daniel Webster was born in Wilton, Franklin county, Maine, February 25, 1862. He was educated in the district school, is a graduate of Wilton Academy, and spent two years at Dartmouth College During his early life he was engaged in teaching in the Maine and Connecticut public schools but owing to ill health was obliged to aban- don the occupation.
 "He came to Alaska in 1898 and to the Koyukuk in 1904 At a mass meeting held in Pioneer hall on the evening of March 25, 1916, he was unanimously nominated for representative to the territorial legislature of Alaska
 ''The Koyukuk is declared by persons com ing from other camps to be the most lg- nored by government service of any in Alaska For gold the camp produces for the opportunities 1t possesses, and for the possibilities yet in store in its mining and agricultural resources 1t is worthy of recog- hilton and it's citizens are worthy of en- couragement. We must conclude that 1t has future contingency.
 1t is admitted by all fair minded per sons who know our present conditions that the residents of the koyukuk, on account of their isolated position, suffer unspeak- able inconveniences from slight, neglect and an unjust disregard for these inallenable rights and privileges to enjoy the impartial distribution of government service, for which they are in no wise deserving of such unfavorable judgment. Is it is not possible that some day the sons and daughters of those opposing our honest efforts and just claims may make this their field of opera tion? Give us a chance, cheer us with your cooperation and your willingness to grant us the power to make this camp a more desirable place in which to live.
 "A republican form of government may become most formidably despotc if local mass of power be allowed legal right to make and to administer the laws of the land This can only be obviated by a just distribution of legislative officials, thus giv- ing to the small sections of our territory some opportunity to defend their rights and to maintain their integrity.
 "The very statement of our condition sui ficie ntly indicates what must be the feel ings of every individual who is not biased by a personal interest, or by particular sentiment, to disregard the dictates of jus tice and humanity.
 "We therefore appeal to the fair minded and justice-loving voters, both ladies and gentlemen, of the Fourth judicial division, to sustain us in our demands for relief by voting for our nominee, Daniel Webster, as representative to the next territorial legis- lature."

that he had been mistaken Just as
